Wrong section. You should have posted this in general section. Btw, did you delete resources.arsc from keep folder?

AFAIK, you dont need to delete any xml's if you modifed them. Just delete resources.arsc, let apkmanager recompile it. Then drag and drop resources.arsc from new apk to old one.

APKmanager is outdated now. Try new version of apkmanager. Its called APK Multi-tool. Search on google.

Ex: themes that replace png files like spacecaker did !!!
After i finish i will share with you, but i'm stock here ...
Just download wonokairoen's theme from themes and apps section. Extract it using winzip/winrar etc.
Replace all his files by your files, dont change anything in META-INf folder.
Zip back the files and your theme will be ready.
Dont forget to take wonokairoen's permission before using his zip.

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

X-Plore file manager (with Root access)
Conclusion said:

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)
