copy that apk to this folder "place-apk-here-for-modding" of apk manager
and open apk manager app
1-22 after that select a apk file by number
2-1 to extra

I got this problem when I'm decompiling an system app apk. I'm just a beginner exploring this. What do I need to do here?
Up
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
what apk is it?
system apk needs framework files to compile/decompile it. maybe framewok-res.apk and framework.jar is enough but i've always include all content of /system/framework just to be sure.
and good luck with it
you need to decompile it with dependencie ... being the dependencie ... framework-res.apk
option 10
How can I do it with the framework? I'm decompiling phone.apk just for testing and exploration.
I just extracted phone.apk from the flashable zip rom.
With apktool:
Type "apktool if [framework file name]"
You might need to install the framework and Twframework apk (check the rom's system\framework directory)
Check the web page for more details, just Google apktool or apk Manager.
I am using apk multi tool. Is that the same as those?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
By looking at the screeshot I think it's 'decompile apk with dependencies'.
Search for apk multitool to see how it works.
I've an .APK file and I want to change the .APK filename in App Drawer and in the App and I want to change the icon that appears in App Drawer and installation,
P.S - The .APK file will be only used for myself, not to reupload someones work

If u just wanna change the icon of the apl, then open ur apk in 7zip or winzip. And find the png file which contains the icon. It is either present in res/drawable-mdpi/
Or in res/midmap-mdpi/

Does the icon has to be the same resolution? Do I not need to sign it?
P.S - Is it possible to change the APK name to show a different name in App Drawer?

Only do it if its ur own apk. Otherwise its illegal....I think
And even if its not, I, as a developer strongly discourage it. I would certainly not like my app being decompiled

Not really. You can rename an apk till you use it for yourself.

My PC has been locked-down by my dad. If you dont trust me, check my stocklite rom's thread. I've clearly mentioned that I can't update the rom before my exams. Dad will open up the pc only in July. So, I cant do any development related work till that time. Sorry.
You can try apkrenamer to rename apps. Search on google.

X-Plore file manager (with Root access)

Use X-Plore file manager
(Root access is required)
First backup your original apk file.
Work:
1- Open an app as zip file
2- go to res\drawable-hdpi\ folder
3- find icon.png in this folder
4- then Go to the second section in the browser (on the screenshot)
5- find the png file which is your new icon.
6- Rename it "icon.png" and mark.
7- Then copy it and write over old one.
8- End
Note:The new apk file is not signed so you can't install it like a normal installation.
So you can push it to the system\app folder (Root access is required)

I will tell you one simple method ,just copy the app(whose icon you want to change) from system/app using root explorer and paste it to sd card after that paste it to desktop ,(note:you should have 7zip or winrar installed),right click on the app and extract it and then open the extracted folder app and goto res/drawable-hdpi and change it with ics icon from another app by same method,now right click on the app and click open archive,now delete the res folder from there and paste the folder(res) from the extracted folder and you are done now copy the modified app to sd card and remove the system app with it

Extracting the apk breaks the apk (Signature)
So to do this you need a computer. Can't do this on phone.
1st way:
-Open the apk with WinRAR (without changing the apk extension)
-Simply drag & drop the D.O.C's files in respective folders & click OK on prompt.
-Push into system with correct permissions.
2nd Way:
You have to decompile the apk, replace files, recompile, sign it & then push it into your system.

Try apk multitool... If you want to just make some images changes just extract it and make changes then pack it... If it needs xml changes then you will have to decompile and compile... These can be done with apk multitool...

I meant that don't rename the file to .zip. You can open .apk file by Right click > Open with > WinRAR. Now just drag & drop D.O.C.'s files in the RAR. Window in respective folders then click Ok.

This is a thread mainly used for themers and porters who want to edit the android manifest.xml in their apk's...
By using this u can mod your apks but the meta inf must be the original.
