I found out the most Easy way to edit .apk right from ur android

Hi every one,
Today is my first day with xda premium app and am happy to tel u guys that I found out a easy way to edit .apk files right from ur rooted android mobile without the help of PC or development knowledge.. am a newbie not a dev!
So here is wat u need to begin
1) The apk file which u need to edit
2) Root explorer or any root file browser
3) Zipsigner 2 or any signing tool
4) patience to scroll between folders
So lets begin;
Open the root explorer and long click the apk file in /sdcard
Extract all the contents and go to extracted folder; in most of the case u get 5 files
Among them Delete Meta - inf folder and in res folder u can edit wat u want
Make sure not to delete anything except Meta Inf folder
Replace the png which u need
Remember while replacing a png the name should be exact as the parent file
After playing wit files go back and multiselect the remaining 4 files and zip them wit any name
After zipping rename the .zip file into .apk file using the same root explorer
Now go to zipsigner app and sign the modified apk file with platform key
Uninstall the app which u want to replace and install the modified apk and here u go u have ur customized app in ur menu LOLZ.. reply if u have any problems and pls pls don't forget to hit thanks button..
Hit thanks button if I had helped u..

Renaming to zip needs a file manager asusual I have mentioned root explorer.. and next u have to unzip it.. doesn't reduce steps if u name it to zip..

Use this xplore "x-plore "
This is give
Open apk as zip
Option ..

The same option is in root explorer as "extract the contents" and dealing with ninjamorph didn't help me and some times after applying theme using ninja and reboot whoa I was stuck at boot loop.. so this process is safe than any other

Why this is not working for mx player, real player, multipicture live wallpaper, titanium backup etc. Etc....
Is there any other process for this
Coz this method generates dex files but there is nothing in app drawer neither apps are in system apps list
