I guess that could be only changed in strings.xml page of app source. I'm not sure whether you get that file when you decompile an apk, you do get the Manifest.xml file, but that just points to location in strings.xml
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Is this something where you change any app's name to your's and say others that it is made by you...
If not then I will help...

Hi,
I'm not an android developement expert but have a question about your advice.
If we delete only the app from /system/app folder (and nothing more. via root explorer), won't it cause trouble?
I would like to give an example for clearing this issue in my mind. In windows, if we just delete the exe file from the Program Files, it doesn't mean we uninstalled the program. It still lefts dll files etc. Is it like this in android?
I asked this because I wanna uninstall the apk's in my custom rom like Google Player or DSP Manager. The developer installed them inside the custom rom, so they look like system apps and as a result I can't uninstall them...
replace them via root explorer and check the permission for new file then restart your device and it will work

adroid system are module style, a apk consist of every thing needed to run the apps. but some app need extra lib file, if you can find the lib file used by a apk to run, than you can delete it form system/lib too.
Exactly what the post above said. Some system apps have .lib files (like windows dll) but i would leave them if i were you because your replacement apps might have dependancies on those lib files. Im not entirely sure.
Also, the libs are stored in system/lib

nono ...i copied the apk files from an ics rom tried to put in gingerbread rom...and whie installing i got this error!!
Apps specially for ICS won't work in gb roms. These 2 version of roms are quite different.
Pls don't simply mess up with the roms version.

Btw, if you back up your original rom's apk files, there is a chance to use them on your custom roms. It has a higher chance if your custom is based on your original rom.
For example, I backed up samsung's music player and photo editor apk on original DDLF2 and installed them on my custom Frankestain rom. Now I'm using them with no problems. I must mention, the original fm radio apk didn't work on custom rom, as it needen some special libraries/frameworks.
i have an app installed (from apk file, not google play).
recently i got an updated version of the application (another apk file).
is there ANY way of installing the new version next to old one without overwritting it?
i need to use both versions at the same time.
Why use 2 versions? If its the same app, it will do the same thing as the old one.

Are you trying to have simultaneous porn pix slideshows or films running concurrently?LOL
JK sounds like youre doing a comparison of versions....but of what?
You aint special.

but excluding the duscussion if is it reasonable or not...
can it be done? and how?

Hi,
Backup it with titaniumbackup first, then install new version.
If updated app is not working, just restore the old one.

OP i would try renaming the apk .

the files have different name.
Probably they have the same signature or ID or whatever identifies it in Google Play.
Is there any way of changing the parameter identifying the app?

Thank you.
So, I got as far as..... decompiling the app
I am not completely across with programming but I have no clue what I should do next Well... I've never played in programming for android and haven't played in modding or any stuff like that.
SO, Can you guide me what I should do next?
What is activity folder name and where is it stored?
Which entries in smali files are activity paths?
I'll understand if you won't help anymore as it may be too much to go through... honestly, no worries...
This is a link to the app
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gtcazc58aqz8j7y/com.adb.android.app.iti-1.apk
It is a free app. The only thing is that it can be downloaded from Polish Google Play only, hope I haven't broke any xda rulez now
Any help is appreciated...
Here you go...just install this alongside the original

I'm trying to do the same thing. With real racing 3. I have an older version that I like a lot for its particular features, plus the latest Ferrari updated version.
I want to have both on my phone. Any way? Also, they have the same exact com.r3 folders, can the modified apk use different data folders?
Thank you for all your help

If you want your own hack, I don't believe so--unless there's a hex editor for Android available someplace. You can sometimes plain-text edit the actual keys to call other actual keys. For instance, I hacked one key file to replace the voice call button with a TAB, and that procedure did not need hex editing
I do believe the character you want is called a "tilde." If so, then chaostic_2k1's hacked bin has [email protected] producing a tilde--I can confirm that on my own SK4G.
IF that fits your needs, you could download his files from here, then copy over to specific sys directory without a computer (I assume you're rooted, etc).
EDIT: if that's the character you want, my own hacked file on that thread will also produce it via [email protected]

Nah, it's just .bin files, no need for cwm, etc. Go to the listed directory in /sys, rename the original files and copy over the new ones. Reboot.

ALL COMPRESSED ANDROID SOURCES ARE HERE
Hello devs, I have seen that many of you are having trouble downloading sources of various ROMs due to low internet speeds, so i decided to compress all the sources in small size and share them with you.
I've compressed sources and .repo folder separately in ".tar.xz" format at max compression level, so just extract the SINGLE archive and enjoy..!!
I will be uploading sources of:
AICP
Android x86
AOKP
AOSP
BlissRoms
Carbon
CyanogenMod
Gummy
Mahdi
MIUI Patchrom
Omni
Pac-Man
Paranoid Android
Resurrection Remix
RootBox
SlimRoms
VentureROM
ALL SOURCES NOW RESIDES IN A SINGLE FOLDER AT AFH, HEAD OVER TO THIS THREAD BY @regalstreak FOR MORE INFO AND LINK TO THE FOLDER.
**REQUESTS ARE NOW ALWAYS OPEN PLEASE READ THIS POST BY @MSF Jarvis ON HOW TO REQUEST NEW SOURCES**
Just saying, you could have only uploaded the .repo compressed. That would have a better purpose than this.

Xeers
Well, only .repo is also getting uploaded
Any other hosting site
And if you know a better hosting site or anything please suggest, i got 1 month to upload the sources
Lol .repo is the source with individual git repositories which is managed by the repo tool. Just host the .repo folder compressed. Add main sources like
. AOSP
. CM-12
Maybe throw in a miui patch rom
When extracting after joining it's says first header blabla with the lrzuntar command. Please lead me.

If you're uploading .repo files use the max compression and upload it as a single file or use dd to split it. Use tar.xz format. export XZ_OPT=-9. And then tar -Jvcf repo.tar.xz .repo
Include a binary or a script to automatically merge the parts. Never leave it to end user

After compression using XZ_OPT=-9 and compressing into tar.xz, tell me the file size. Where ever you're hosting now, that'll do. just use dd to split into parts and include a script/c program to combine it and uncompress it and remove the temporary stuff.

After decompress using lrunzip, still got that error. What should I do?
I suggest You to using tar.xz format. It's easy and don't split it with hjsplit.
Too many process, more chance to get error.

Yes, it seems that my tar version was lower than yours, well compressing the sources again and uploading on other file host.
