i have decompiled hangouts apk and changed the /res/raw/hangout_audio_call_incoming_ringtone.mp3 which changed the ringtone for incoming voice calls to a custom one... then i successfully recompiled it and signed it (all using androidmulitool)
after installing whenever i open the app as it tries signing in it crashes and if i try to restore the data with titanium backup (so it will be signed in) it will just crash on opening saying "unfortunately hangouts app has stopped"
anyone know what i'm doing wrong or how to fix this ?

Hangouts requires signature to be the org signature, not for you to sign it.
Many threads concerning theming. But the easiest is to copy the changes back into the org apk using 7Zip etc.

1. Compile with Org signature
2. Push to system/app folder
3. Set correct premissions, reboot or
4. Flash it..

I want the old functionality where I could delete emails from the notification shade but also have both archive and delete buttons when looking at individual emails in the app.
Just got a new N5, unlocked and rooted, and tried renaming the system Gmail files and installing the 4.3.1 Gmail APK.
When I try to install I get message "App not installed." Tried restarting phone, same result.
Interesting - just saw that even though I renamed the Gmail files in /system/app (and the icon disappeared), Gmail is still running on the phone. It notified me of and then let me open a new incoming email.
Any way to get 4.3.1 running under KitKat?
Simply renaming an apk in system doesn't prevent it running. Android doesn't use the apk name to identify it. You must remove it completely

Do you know if there's a way to use Gmail 4.3.1 on a rooted N5 running 4.4.1?

remove/uninstall/delete gmail from your phone completely, reboot, wipe dalvik/cache, then install the gmail 4.3.1 apk. thats all you need to do.
No luck so far

I did that, but when I restarted the phone:
- the APK went to the permissions screen "no new permissions needed" and then said "not installed."
- the Gmail files are gone from the /system/app directory, but gmail still runs. Version 4.7.1
Was i supposed to delete the files from somewhere else? Is there some reason the APK is not installing?
thanks
I am trying to install an App which for some reason will not install in the country I am visiting. The App is a free App, but Google Play has blocked it from downloading into this country. I managed to download the app from the evozi apk-downloader but when I click on it in File Manager it will not install and I get an "App will not install." error.
I would like to try and install the app manually but despite all my searching have not been able to come up with a way to do this. I tried copying the apk file to the system/app directory and rebooted, but that did not work. I then downloaded ZipSigner to sign the apk file and put the created opex file in the system/app folder and rebooted again, but still no results. I've tried some other installers but still unable to get it to install, even when I am offline with my GPS off.
How can I manually install an app to bypass the Google app installer?

did you enabled allow installation of apps from sources other than Play store if not go settings> Security> tick unkown sources and try it again it will surely help..and use the file browser from the phone and find the apk that you want to install n click on it and install
hit thanks button if helped
The app I want to install is FlightAware - I travel a lot, hence my desire to install this app before I return to the USA. I found that the ShopSavvy apk also has this problem. Both of these are freeware but somehow they won't install on my phone. My Google account was created in the USA with a USA address and has a USA credit card attached to Google Wallet, but with both apps I just get a "App not installed." error.
I already have the Unknown Sources - Allow installation of Apps from unknown sources Checked and the Verify Apps - Disallow or warn before installation of apps that may cause harm - Unchecked.
hmm then you sure those apks work correctly sometimes errors occur when its incorrectly or incompletely tampered.. or else try this go to settings> application manager>google play store and clear data and clear cache and do the same in google play services and try again

No, that did not work. I am really looking for a more technical solution to explain how to manually install an opp. Is this not possible in Android?

I am assuming your phone is rooted. If not, then it will be better to root it before going further.

Using CM, 13.1, android 6.01.
I have a problem where I can't install apps from APKs and I can't open "permissions" tab in App info. Instead, I get the message "Unfortunately, Package installer has stopped".
I already tried to google, and toggling the unknown sources doesn't work. I try to delete cache and restored to factory setting, but the error remains.
any help is welcome
Still need help
I tried using app ops, but seems it is ****ed on M.
A different permission manager allows me to modify existing permissions but I can't add new ones. As a result I can't record voice messages on WhatsApp for example.
Any advice is welcome.

Very funny. You can see in the OP I wrote I tried to google, and some of the methods I tried to use. if you have nothing good to say, better you don't speak.
Hy guys,
as already written in the topic I have accidentally uninstalled the calender app wich comes with emui.
now when I install e.g. the google calender app and open the app it says the calender storage is deaktivated. It gives me also the posibilety to activate in the settings but when I type it it comes back again.
So is there any possibilety to bring the original calender app back so I can activate the calender storage?
So I figured out that I have to reinstall the calendar storage APK . Can maybe somebody upload this APK for emui 5 or share a link where I can download the file.
I believe you can find a generic one online, nonetheless, here it is. Hopefully it works.
thanks a lot.
It's not working. I get the message "package appears to be corrupt".
Ok got it via adb.
now its working.

@ChrisChros how doid you solve the ADB error:
Code:
Failed to install Calendar_Storage_com.android.providers.calendar.apk: Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES: Failed to collect certificates from /data/app/vmdl499526276.tmp/base.apk: /data/ap

Thanks for the help!
Might be a bit late, but if any others stumble upon this:
place the apk provided above in system/priv-app. Make sure it has all r/w permissions and then restart phone! Should work then.
Hi,
I want to mod Whatsapp on my own without using third party apps such as GBwhatsapp , Whatsapp plus, parallel space apk, appcloner apk...etc. I want to know how they do it.
What i Found
I tried using an android application that clones whatsapp and found there is two methods used:
1. Workspace Method: Parallel Space installs whatsapp in the root folder of the Parallel space application it self without changing in the code or any thing. There is several apps that do the same. ( I am not interested in this method)
2. Apk editing method: Appcloner apk, it clones whatsapp to a different name and allows modification to the app, but on one condition the original whatsapp version must be installed in order to verify the whatsapp number. (This is what i am trying to do manually) but i need to solve the problem where i dont need to install the original app in order to work(gbwhatsapp solved this problem but how?)
What i tried:
A.
I tried decompiling the whatsapp using (apktool, ApkEdit) then signing the app using zipsigner. The app gets installed but the problem is i cant get pass whatsapp verification number it gives an error and returns whatsapp to the first page:
"Something is wrong with your version of whatsapp. Please download the latest version from our website: https://whatsapp.com/android."
This is the error that i face and i want a fix for it.
B.
I used zipsigner on the original whatsapp apk file and signed the apk with new signiture then installed the app. I found that it gave the same error as above.
Conclusion:
Changing whatsapp apk signature prevents you from verifying the whatsapp number.
Can any one provide us with a fix how can we do this and mod our own version of whatsapp. I presume there is something to do with exposed since i found exposed modules in the decompiled folder for the cloned Whatsapp apk by appcloner and the apk gbwhatsapp.
Thanks
