APP DEV - Need help renaming 2 apps I created - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Probably a simple solution for this, however I'm new to making applications and this is frustrating me.
I made a couple of simple apps to view a couple of websites for a work project (we are giving away a couple of tablets for a promotion and want our websites pre-installed in app format).
I just used app inventor to make them as they are really simple. However app inventor won't let me save the apps with spaces or other characters in the name.
The 2 apps just need to be renamed to show as their names when installed "Haystack Info" and "Moore & Scarry". As you can see my current naming is kinda lame and my boss wants it changed.
here are the apks:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/e94duy7urtsytk4/Haystack_Info.apk
I already tried using marketizer but that kept giving me errors, same with "app to market".
Any help is much appreciated

bump for help

anyone? I've searched around and I'm not having any luck with this. I tried de-compiling the apps and editing the manifest but I'm having issues recompiling it

Alternative Market?

I've got a simple question that perhaps somebody could answer. I know that there are some alternative markets available on the net...some of which look exactly like the android market. I was curious to know if there is some kinda open source project (or the like) for a custom alternative market.
The reason I ask is because it would come in great handy for my business. We have a few in-house apps that are currently distributed to managers as APKs via email. It would be great if we could have a central market for which managers can update our apps from as opposed to manually sending them out, at which point they must be installed manually.
I thought I saw something a while back about some type of market framework, but now I can't find any reference to it.
Any information on this subject would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure that I've understood completely what you meant, but you can check out Handster or the new Facebook-based Market - ESDN.
I think he is thinking of an app that would allow him to distribute apks to "in-house" business phones.
There are lots of "market-like" apps out there - SlideME, Amazon Appstore, Handster, etc. I haven't seen or heard of any market software that is open-source, however.
Alrighty...I guess it was worth a shot. Though it would be pretty cool if something like that existed. Thanks for the replies guys.

While that is an alternative market, it's not exactly what I was looking for. I'm looking for an open source alternative which would enable me to use my own repository.
I think my search has ended though...I came across an open source project call aptoide:aptoide.com
It does enable me to setup my own repository, and I think that's what I'll be going with.
Interesting... looks like I'll be adding a new element to my primary source server as well.
An alternative would be to use dropbox and allow your people to sideload the apps. The phones would have to be provisioned to do so, however.
AppBrain is real good.
Aptoid and apktor - google for them.
Aptoid.com have a php script to generate xml file for android clients, but somehow it did not work for me.
See aptoid.com server section.
Im thinking about python script, but i dont have any programming skills
Dude just go to blapkmarket.com
Thats it. Your problems are solved

I recently discovered (and published an app on) moborobo market. It looks interesting.
Another recent market I tried is opera market.

[Q] Conduit Mobile Free Apps

I recently built a free app using mobile.conduit.com now i want to customize it. I've searched the forums HI/LOW
Ive used apk tools to decompile and build with my changes but nothing seems to work. I've also followed some threads about "signing" an application.
Their dev site is really generic and there isnt much info on any of their proprietary server API. I'm trying to do two things, clean up the intrusive code that is digging for personal information and other unnecessary phone controls AND use MetaMorph to theme the app I created but when I do either the app doesnt load thereafter.
Anyone know what local directory the app installs to? Or have any other suggestions?
I am also open to paying a developer for a proof of concept migrating a few thousand rows of Excel data into a functioning user friendly app. This project is for my company and they are looking at around a $1500 start up budget.
Thanks!

[Q] apk modding question

hello. i am interested in how to mod an apk for offline capability.
for example, Asphalt 8 game, is now version 1.2.1b i have searched offline mods, i only find "unlimited money". i just want offline, no money, no nothing.
i have apktool, i have java development, i have signapk, i have software for apk midification. can you guys help me? either make my apk offline, or tell me how to do it?
It's not simple and depends on the app. If you're asking I suppose you have no idea how an app actually works? If so, there isn't much you can do…
Basically, you need to look for the relevant checks and modify/remove them.

i do know how apk's work, in fact i have decompiled and modified a fiew, signed and all such. but only minor stuff in resources or xml. i did not touch the smali. now the problem is i have no idea for what strings to search. except the "enable internet check" and some lines. but i suspect that's not all. because after i modified that, the building gave me 6 errors.

Google apps decompile & recompile

Firstly I would like to apologise if I am asking my question in the wrong area. If so then I am happy for a moderator to move to the correct location.
I have some understanding of how to decompile apps, modify and then recompile. All my work is done using APKTool via a command line and a test keystore that I found in a tutorial. I've even recently learnt how to create my own keystore using the Java Keytool. The vast majority of the time I am able to accomplish what I want, by this I mean making small amendments to the code (.xml & .smali) to suit my preference - usually little things such as correcting typos. I am however struggling with Google apps, such as Messenger, Hangouts etc. The process I am carrying out is correct, the app even installs correctly on my Android device. However upon launching the app it will then just crash.
My question is, do Google prevent their apps from being reverse engineered using special tools? I there something else I should be taking into consideration when dealing with Google apps?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Modding - Game APK

So I've been currently stumbling across old games I've been playing on my android mobile devices as a kid. Since nostalgia overwhelmed me, I went to the GooglePlaystore to Install a certain Game again, I couldn't find it at first, so I used an external link to the Game in the Playstore, installed it then, just to see a Notification in the Home Screen, that the game has shut down and is "no longer playable". Yeah screw that. I found an APK of it, after hours of seraching, that is working, however the Game is completely offline...which is totally fine, except for the fact that I would like to increase the Ingame Currency. Now the question is, is it possible to mod those? I can't use a free in app pirchase mod, sincs, as i said, game is offline so I can't even click on the offers.
I will be forever grateful to everyone who can help my with that, since I am unfortunately still at the beginning of my road in modding. Thanks and have a good day!
I'd be happy if someone could suggest a solution because I also have a nostalgia for a few games. However, I think this case needs a hack and without the right skills it's impossible.

to get an idea what's the effort to mod an APK look inside here:
Decompile an APK, modify it and then recompile it
I need to modify an existing APK, modify the sources and then recompile it. I can decompile it using dex2jar or apktool, it's working great From the jar file I can obtain the java sources (using ...
