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!
Hello everyone......if youre like me and just want to beat the crap out of a game that ticks you off sometimes then this is for you. This guide will explain how to edit the apk for fieldrunners hd. I will not supply or distribute the apk, so please do not ask.
First you will need the apk file you have purchased from android market. If you have an apk from amazon app store it will not work.
Start by changing the file extension from apk to .zip. Next, extract the contents of the file to a new folder on your desktop. (Folder can be named anything you like)
Open folder Assets>Data>HighResolution>Maps
Here you will find 4 folders....Cave, Crossroads, Drylands, Grasslands
Open the Folder for the level you wish to edit. (I will use grasslands as example for this guide)
Look for the files that have a ~map.mp3 extension. Open this file with a text editor like notepad. A few lines into the file will see this "startingHealth="20" startingResources="15". Change these values to anything you want them to be.
If you would like to modify the specs for the towers you can do this as well. I find it fun to make one weapon that just kills everything in one blow.
Open folder Assets>Data>HighResolution>Towers. Look for the tower you would like modify and open the file with a ~tower.mp3 extension in a text editor like notepad. Each tower will have one of these files for it. When opened look for <minDamage="129" maxDamage="129"> There will be a line like this for each level of tower, 1,2&3. Change he values to whatever you like, the higher the number the stronger the weapon.
Now that you have editied all maps and towers you want to it is time to button this up. Select all the files and folders you extracted from the zip file and create a new zip file. I use winzip with no compression. Name your new file whatever you like and save it to the desktop or a place you can find it. Now change the file extension of the new file from .zip to .apk. You will now need to sign the file, you will have to learn that in a different writeup. Once the file is signed it will install and you will see the changes in the game.
Good luck tinkering, do not post apk's here, and please act responsibly.

Dude...i have MIUI up and running...it is rooted, i am using root explorer. Everything is working untill i try to install the signed apk. I am using Andoid Commander to sign the apk...it is not working. Btw, i used the apk i found in the MIUI backup folder, because i could not find the APK in data/app...i know, it is strange...
Strange....i just went through MIUI and could not find the installed apk either. I will let you know when i find it.
EDIT - Found the apk in MIUI. Its is mnt/asec/com.subatomicstudios.com.

So, when i altered the files and so on, do i just deinstall the game? or are there other files i have to remove???
I have the amazon one, and it does not work. can someone pm me to the market version or this version? I've downloaded a few apk's already, and they seem to be the amazon version based on the file contents.
so I have the market apk, but I cannot get it signed properly. Tried zipsign 2, and install went ok, but app could not open. Tried signapk.exe and installed ok, but wont open.
after i re-zip the size changes by over 2mb under and will not install. I have re-signed it. What would cause the size change that much? it should be a few bytes.
Make sure you are zipping with NO compression.

I did tons of research and cannot get this guy signed using 7zip, winrar, win zip, droid explorer, ninja morph....
I followed instructions and this will not install. Anyone out there successful?

you need a program to sign it. I finally figured out how to do this.
so to recap, after you made changes to all the files like (I just added 99999 starting money):
grasslands_extended~map.mp3
grasslands~map.mp3
crossroads_extended~map.mp3
crossroads~map.mp3
then you zip it with NO COMPRESSION (or "Store" with winrar)
then use this to sign it(This can be used to sign any apk file):

http://www.fileserve.com/file/F3GT3bK/SignApk-with-bat.zip
http://www.filesonic.com/file/1878513104/SignApk-with-bat.zip
Download file and extract to C:. You should have a folder called "C:\SignApk"
Here are the instructions I made on how to sign it:
1. Copy the apk file to C:\SignApk
2. Rename apk file to "application.apk", then run the "Sign-application.apk.bat". This will produce a "application-signed.apk" in the same folder.
The batch file can be ran under administrative mode if it does not work the first time.
Requires java, and I assume most people have that on their pc already.
EDIT: it took me a lot of research to figure this out as well. Figure I can provide a simpler walkthrough that people can follow.
I'm just wondering, but wouldn't it be easier to use something like GameCIH? It seems less intrusive and easier. If you've ever used cheat engine before, then gameCIH should be a breeze.
i get this message when i tried instal apk "There is a problem parsing the package"
can you all solve my problem??
Can someone post the modded apk in multiupload ? i'm trying with 1.04 version and it doesn't work. Thanks
Works like a charm. Now even my machine guns can take on the blimps in 1 shot
thanks popp. worked like a champ. fun for about 5 minutes, then you realize after modding the game, it just never ends. Cool to see though, since I couldnt get passed round 400 with the standard setup, now its just a matter of when I quit the game due to being bored
cool to hack as well!
how do you know where to find the address and specific string? for example you have a neew game installed and you want to mod it. how can you trace the source of gold, etc?
I have a problem with a apk from a Dutch tv provider ziggo....
With this app we are able to watch tv but only on non-rooted devices.......
I have 4 android devices and ofcourse they are all rooted and running on custom roms.
The first apk ziggo provided was cracked in a couple of days, for what i understand 2 "so" files had strings that searched for SU files and if they where found the app won't let you watch tv. These files where modified and recompiled so the app worked perfect on rooted devices.
Now.......ziggo launched an update with many bugfixes so i removed the old app en installed the new one.
Now to get it working again i need to replace 2 files in data/data/nl.ziggotv/lib
These files are "so" files but i can't move/delete/override these new files anymore.......
I tried everyting in root explorer, i also can't change r/w/e permissions over these files........what to do??? and how are these files protected??
For Devs who want to help me out, here's a link to the ziggo apk
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/24745264/Ziggo TV.apk

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 have a question here , is there any way to Installing duplicated apps ver without overwrite each other ?
Eg : firefox verion 21 smooth and fast but version 24 provide more features. Hoping to install both each other if I needed some features.
Currently the only option is , backup data 22 and 24 with titanium bk and restore it when I need the features.
Possible to install alongside without overwrite ? needed to modified the .apk ? I was hoping to retain the original apk.
It's just like you installing Office 2007 and 2010 alongside in the same window.
Thank you

I think you cannot without modifying the two .APK, can you rename one then copy to root/system/app ?

By modifying the package name of any of the .apk file, I think you should be able to install both versions.. because while installing an App, Android will compare the .apk's package name with the .apks already installed before... The point of modifying the .apk file is to make sure that Android sees it as a completely different app, and not think of one as an update to the other...

The linked having various discussion but non of them are working
I had google around and the only way is to have different profile https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.switchme&hl=en
Which is very risky getting boot looping.
The safest method is to modified the .xml but I am not an android dev.I doesn't know how to modified it.
Does anyone know any tools which can modified .apk to custom version. ?
Thank you

For modifying .apk files you need to Download and Setup a small tool called APKTOOL (for Windows)
Below is the link to the GUI version of apktool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33815550
The original version of apktool works with Windows' Command Promt's command line interface... If you want that instead, then Google "apktool for windows" or anything similar
After decompiling, I think you need to edit your AndroidManifest.xml file BUT I am not sure about this.. please Google "how to change application package name android"
