You can use Android Studio or use something like APKTOOL (you need to know java and XML)
Or else check if the Xposed module "Resflux" helps you.

First off Dont mention lucky patcher. IT is a warez app and banned from the site. You will have to use the tools mentioned above on a PC to get what you want. There is no way to do it from your device.
There are a set of settings coded into the app which then gets converted to a DB file upon install. Your changes are done to the DB file which is seperate from the apk. You will have to change the default settings in the base code it itself.

Hey,
could anybody tell me, how i can change an icon from an application, downloaded from this cool forum?
Technically it's very easy.
1. open APK with 7zip or winrar, search the folder with the icon, put the new icon in it (correct masses and name) and save.
2. put this apk to the sd card and install.
But now the installation is aborted.
It's not an market app, its an App from here.
Could anybody help please?
1. Make sure the zip/unzip app you use doesn't try to compress the apk
2. You need to resign the app with test keys (you'll need the sdk for this, http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html )
OK. Thank you very much!
Hi everyone,
After playing fieldrunners for a while I wanted to make some changes to the game. I openened the .apk file and edited the things i wanted. After that I cannot install that APK anymore. Is there any way to resign this apk again? Or some tweak to make it work again?
Thx

uninstall existing version,
place modified apk on sd card root,
sign your modified apk with signapktic using the platform key,
install via a file manager and you should be set.
Hi and thx for the reply!
I installesd the program and signed the apk as u explained but nothing changes. It still wont finish the installation. If I choose another output file ( another name and location ) it also says finished almost instantly but I never get a new file. Is this normal and will it only fix the existing file?
Thx
Got it working now. Not with the program but made a key and used signapk.jar
Thx anyways!
Tools Needed :
APK Manager (to decompile and recompile apks)
Photoshop or other photo editing software’s ( corel draw etc etc)
FS Resizer or GIMP( to resize or reshape png)
NOTEPAD ++(edit xml files)
Eclipse
AXMLPrinter (convert xml to txt files)
From the start:
Make sure u hav a deodexed ROM….If your ROM is not deodexed den use xultimate to deodex….
• You will get a zip or rar file in which u will find “meta inf” and “system”…. We will be concentrating only on the system folder…..Extract it to the desktop or which ever location u want….
• Inside the system folder u would see folders called “app” “framework” “media” “bin” etc….
Let me explain what does these folders Hav to do.
“app” is the major folder which has to do with all the pre installed apps(default apps) like calculator camera mms(messaging) touchwiz bluetooth etc…..
“framework” is the folder associated with the body formation (i.e) the skeleton of out fit…..examples like the battery icon,icons in the notification panel like “autorotate” “Wi-Fi” “GPS” etc….
“media” consists of “bootanimation.zip” file allows u to change the boot animation ( we would discuss about this later)
TUTORIAL ON HOW TO CHANGE THE ICON OF APPS:
STEP 1: First go into the “apps” folder and extract everythin(if u wish extract everythin or extract only the file u want) to the desktop…….
• Don’t be bothered about the .odex files… concentrate only on the .apk files…..
• for ex: if u wish to change the “messaging” icon…select mms.apk….enter into that and u would find folders called “res” “metainf”…….. ENTER into “res” folder and u would see folders such as “drawable” “drawable ldpi”( or similar to that) leave the folders like “xml” etc and just concentrate on “drawable-ldpi” and extract it to the desktop…..enter into that folder and u would find all the images which u see on the mobile while messaging….. Hope u would remember how the icon for the messagin app be….now search for that….for this apk it would be as “ic_launcher_smsmms”….. and BINGO your done…… download a png of the icon u want from google (for that go into google and type message icon png and select images…. Select the image of ur choice and save it) now copy that downloaded image (for ex the downloaded image name is 123.png replace that name to “ic_launcher_smsmms”)After renaming it copy and replace the default image in the “drawable ldpi” folder….. Similarly make changes for wat ever icon u want but REMBEMBER the icon ur changing should hav the same name of the default icon”
• Since u’ve modded(changed) only the “drawable ldpi” folder copy that folder in which u hav changed the icon to the folder in “res” of “mms.apk”…… to make it clear delete the default drawable ldpi and replace it with the one u modded from the desktop……(to replace just drag from the desktop to the rar file) IF WINRAR asks a confirmation “update changes made” click YES…… cool now u’ve changed the icon of the messaging app….
• Similarly try replacing the default icon of the calculator camera dialer tab activity etc by just moving into the apk file “res””drawable ldpi (hdpi, land-ldpi or wateva)
• To go more interior take dialer tab activity and follow the above steps first.,….den replace the number icons, dialer_tab_background image with any image u like but it should be of PNG and of the same default name while replacing it in the folder……
• That’s it now u’ve learnt how to change the icons and images……
• Now do the reverse of STEP 1….. copy the modded(changed) apk files from the desktop into the “system””app” folder and don’t forget to save the changes…..
• TUTORIAL ON HOW TO CHANGE THE ICON OF FRAMEWORK :
SIMILARLY just like how u replaced the icons of “apps” try replacing icons of framework folder….
• Open “framework” folder…..u’ll find many .JAR files and “framework-res.apk” and “twt-framework.apk”
• Go into framework-res.apkresand extract drawable (ldpi,hdpi,mdpi,land-hdpi) or wateva file is der to ur desktop…. Just as how u did it in “apps” replace the PNGS in it…. For ex: replace the alarm clock icon “auto rotate” “vibrate” “sound””battery icons” etc…..
• After doing all the changes in drawable folder replace the drawable folder in “framework-res.apk” and replace this “framework-res.apk” in the framework folder of the RAR file….
XML EDITTING:
XML editing is the trickiest and difficult part yet a challenging part
To do this u must need “apk manager” version 4 or higher…..
These are the folders inside the apk manager
Take the apk file for which u r goin to edit the xml for example to change the conversion of sms to mms from 4pgs to any no of pgs u want……copy the “mms.apk” file from “system””app” to “PLACE APK HERE FOR MODDING” of the apk manager….. HINT: for beginners u can edit only one file at a time After this open “SCRIPT”
IF u hav placed mms.apk file in “PLACE APK HERE FOR MODDING” den “NONE” would be shown as “mms.apk” or if u had placed “touchwiz.apk” it would show as “touchwiz.apk” on the place of NONE
Now press no 9….. the “DECOMPILING” would start and would finish with no alert…
now go to the “APK manager” folder and go into “PROJECTS” u’ll find mms.apk or wateva apk u hav used….
Den go into “RES””XML” ..... u’ll find “mms_config” open it with notepad or notepad++….(notepad++ is advisable and recommended)
You will find a line called <int name="smsToMmsTextThreshold">4</int> replace that four with whatever number u want….
Well u hav learnt how to edit the XML’s also… ….try to edit xml of touchwiz (androidmanifest.xml) to enable touch wiz rotation or touchwiz(launcher_config{to change number of rows and columns}….”default_mainapplication_order”{to change order of the apps in the touch wiz}
All the changes must be made in the projects folder and COMPILE it again by pressing number 11…..
copy the COMPILED .APK back into “apps” or “framework-res” or from wer ever u took the apk file….. THEME DEVELOPING DOESN’T COME WITHIN A DAY SO TRY IT REPEATEDLY TILL U GET THE ART OF IT My sincere thanks to Amit who motivated me and thanks to pratyush and dev for helpin me at the beginning, Rishee for the support rendered from the beginning and all the group members for your support…..

No... You can't change the package name of the app if you didn't make it .. You need to have the full source of the app in order to properly modify the package name .. You can't just decompile it and edit it .. What app are you talking about ?

Thank you my friend
Do you have solutions for how to raise the game to Google Play?
re
Change install folder
Hi,
I'm mobile game distributor. I receive the apk file from the publisher which the package name is the same with the one they publish in other market. For example: com.aaa.bbb
Since they cannot provide me a different build with different package name. I use apktool to decompile and modify the AndroidManifest.xml. The second lind of that file, I change package="com.aaa.bbb" to "com.ccc.ddd".
Then I batch the folder, sign the apk, zipalign it.
Then the apk can be uploaded to Google Play. However, when the game download the extension files, it still find the old package folder which is com.aaa.bbb instead of com.ccc.ddd. Is there any way to force the game to install the extension files to com.ccc.ddd folder?
Thanks,
Giang Anh
I found out how to do so and I'll be answering myself once more :
In order to add only the files you want to replace in a zip (or apk) sub-directory and choose what compression method used with 7-zip, we simply do as we do with flashable zips:
- you create a folder named "res" on your desktop;
- you crete a folder named "raw" on your desktop;
- you drag the folder "raw" into the "res" folder
- you choose the sound files [of your choice] [in wav format] and rename them to match which ever one(s) you want to replace in the apk and add them in that "raw" folder;
- you right-click on the "res" folder on your desktop and select: 7-zip/"Add to Archive..."
- you select you new Swiftkey apk (rename it first);
- you make sure that "Store" is selected in the "compression level" field;
[see pic - I've changed spacebar and normal key sound in that example]
- Re-sign the apk

Hi.
I am totally new to this site and app developing in general. I used the above method (ty AL) to modify the Swiftkey Keyboard app and now just need to re-sign the apk and install it on my device ( ZTE Blade Z Max) I googled how to and found Android Studio, i just am having trouble using it I guess. Im just starting to learn how to modify/develop android apps.
If anyone knows how or can offer up another method for re-signing please help! Much appreciated and tyvm.

Try the file explorer MiXplorer found here on xda. It has an apk signing add on feature. It is the my favorite and 1 of the best file managers available. Easily the best for free.

You need to install the Signer add on. Settings--->add one. After that, long press your apk you want to sign hit settings button, then scroll to sign. Choose with automatic i believe. Refer to the MiX FAQ thread. Link located in OP of MiX thread.

Signing worked! fantastic.
Decided I wanted to change more of the sounds in swiftkey to have a couple more themes with the original one i modified so I went through the 7zip process described in an earlier thread, except this time when i did it it didnt replace the mp3 sound files in the apk with the waves I wanted to substitute. This time it just added the .wav(s) to the apk while leaving the .mp3(s) there along with them. seems wierd. I changed the names of the .wav(s) to the same as the ones i wanted to replace, right clicked folder and hit add to archive. Selected drop down menu and selected apk and made sure store was the option selected and zip was the method selected. No go. Any suggestions?

This time it just added the .wav(s) to the apk while leaving the .mp3(s) there along with them. seems wierd. I changed the names of the .wav(s) to the same as the ones i wanted to replace, right clicked folder and hit add to archive. Selected drop down menu and selected apk and made sure store was the option selected and zip was the method selected. No go. Any suggestions?
