General :: Modifying APKs - Won't Install
Jan 9, 2013
I want to modify some apps but when I do I can't seem to get them working on devices.
I am happy with the use of APK tool and zipaling, and have successfully modified my SystemUI.apk but when I try to mod apps it does not work.
I have tried modding the apk in data/app and just replacing the file and tried modding the downloaded apk and try to install.
My process:
Decompile (APKtool)
Mod
Recompile (APKtool) - with errors
I add the files from the original APK that errored during recompile with 7zip
Zipaling
Transfer back to the device
Devices
Samsung S3 mini & Nexus 7 - both running stock rooted JB 4.1.1

i was wondering if there is a way to create a zip package to flash through CWM, in order to install various apks simoultaneously... You know, when i flash a new rom i get bored of having to reinstall everything, and Titanium backup doesn't work properly... so i wanted to create a pack with all my favourite apps, and install them all in once!

when I press it to install the install button just doesn't press, like it's grayed out.The only thing that happened was Google store sort of updated itself (even when I rolled back updates) and it just re-installed itself. Can't install APKs off aptoid or BMA

I use a Note 2, and was able to install apks perfectly fine until this afternoon, now i'm unable to click "install" , it isn't greyed out or anything. I know screen filter and similar apps have a bug which doesn't allow you to click install, so I disabled and uninstalled them just to be sure.
I'm on stock 4.1.2, no software updates of any sort in the last month,weird it suddenly stopped allowing me to install apks
Able to install apps from the play store otherwise.
Edit- Also rebooted several times, and tried installing apks i've installed before, no dice And I do have unknown sources checked.

So after fiddling around with theming and getting comfortable decompiling, recompiling and pushing system apk's to my phone I figured I would try to mod one of my games. The game is called chess time and is a free online pvp chess game. I am trying to find the movement permissions to the specific pieces. I have had no luck. I decompiled the apk and checked all the xml's and cannot find anything that seems relevant. Where those would be? If it would be in any of the small files than I have more reading to do since how to modify those. Here's the apk:

Using APK Manager im trying to decompile some APKs from ICS, though always run into errors (Unlike GB APKs which I have no problem with)

Ive heard using the newer version of APK Manager is supposed to fix things, though cant find a newer one. The only file I found on XDA was a Jar file, and didnt explain what / how to replace with current APK Manager.

Is there a way to have, say, multiple Gallery.apk, all being individual applications that can be opened? But not default apks, an apk that I downloaded from the Playstore.
On that note, where can I find my apks that I downloaded from the Playstore?

I want to modify some xml files in the google maps app (com.google.android.apps.maps-2.apk)
I copied the original apk from my phone, used apkmultitool to decompile it, chanched the files an recompiled it (using option 11: system apk) after recompiling, the file size ist about 1Mb different to the original.
When i now place it on the sd card and try to install, i get message that it wasn't installed.
Do i have to deinstall the "old" app?
Do i make sth wrong?

We use Eclipse for making android apps. Is there any way to open APK files in Eclipse, so I can view their source folder, etc. and do any editing? I've used APK Multi tool and APK Manager, but I wanted to open an APK in Eclipse.

Is it possible to modify the folder grid width within android. For example, by default if I have 3 apps within a folder it will be displayed within the folder in a 2x2 grid with the top two spots and the bottom left occupied with an app. Instead I would like to modify it to be a 3x1 horizontal grid.

I have a HUAWEI Y300-0100, and it comes with a funny feature: every time it can't connect to WIFI a popup message appears saying that if you switch to data plan charges may apply.
I am constantly switching between WIFI/no-WIFI zones so that message really bothered me, and I searched a way to disable it.
Presumably, the only way to do that is by modifying a system file called "build.prop". I already had my phone rooted so doing so wasn't very hard.I used Jota+ to change a setting from "true" to "false" (ro.config.hw******), and saved the file in the root of the SD card. Then, with ES File Explorer, I renamed the "build.prop" in /system to "build.prop.bak" and copied there the "build.prop" I previously saved in the SD root.All seemed to be fine, except that after rebooting my phone it could not get past the HUAWEI logo.
Android recovery mode seems to work, but I don't know how to use a lot of its options nor I want to do a Factory Reset if there's a better alternative.Is there a way to modify system files before booting Android? I really would like to try to delete the "build.prop" file and rename the "build.prop.bak" back to "build.prop".

I don't think iOS7 is such an "amazing" upgrade. Some icons are hideous and almost all new features already exists in Android.But i have to say, i instantly fell in love with the awesome window-transtions when opening and closing apps, se below:

I currently run a Nexus 4 (Jelly Bean, CM10.1 Linaro) with a modified framework-res.apk file with ICS transitions.I know how to create animations (I am an android developer) but wouldn't it be cool to implement them on our system?In the anims folder of framework-res.apk you find all of these xmls containing different animations
Code:
accelerate_quad.xml
accelerate_quint.xml
activity_close_enter.xml[code].....
Some of them are pretty obvious (toast_enter.xml for example) but i dont really know which one does what.

I've installed the android sdk, java, and all the other fancy things I was supposed to, but cannot get Android Multitool to decompile any apk's.
This is the error log it throws out: The system cannot find the path specified. 'apktool' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. The system cannot find the file specified.

So I know how to extract APKs with APK manager.
However, I want to know, when you extract APKs, where are the images of the APK located?
In which folder when you extract the APK files, are the images?
- It used to be easier back in the day, you would extract and all the images would just be there.

Sideloading of apk's does not work anymore. I did not install any new app or module. Unknown sources is checked of course.
But when I try to install an APK clicking on Install does not respond and no message appears. I rebooted more times, cleared all caches, etc. to no avail.
