Have you checked root explorer and mount systemfolders in settings?

if you want to back up system apps then i would prefer that you use titanium back up
if using root explorer, just long tap the file, copy and paste to your sd card
restore by simply pasting it back and setting the correct permissions
Sorry ..i m new here

Use ES file explorer to open the file location and use an app like android to extract the apk. Then use a file editor like jota text editor to edit ur apk. Recompile the files using android again. Hope it helps.
Hit thanks if I have helped you in any ways.

You shouldn't modify apk in the phone because you can end up with force closes.
On PC of course.
Thanks buddy

I got the apk file of whatsapp, and I renamed to .zip to extract the contents to change the icons by replacing them in the drawable-hdpi folder. Now the problem is that I zipped all the contents and renamed it to apk again but after this the file isn't getting installed (I have uninstalled whatsapp on my phone because we cannot replace it). Any suggestions??

You didn't really need to zip it, if you have a root browser, you can actually extract the apk, do what you wanted to do, and then compress it and change the file name from .zip to .apk.

What root browser are you using? If you are using root browser or root explorer, it shouldn't matter.

OK, extract it as APK, then go to the folder the apk was extracted, change the images or image, then compress, and change file extension (zip to apk). If not, you will have to use apktool.
