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

Why not downloaded a flashable zip thats already present with meta info, and just add and delete what you want or don't want. 7Zip is amazing working this way.
Then you are sure to know it works.
Its my own Rom and im working with root Explorer to customize it

Yeah, extract that zip file, add or remove app as you want, then zip it again.

easily take the file cmwallpapers.apk from any cm rom or any file named wallpapers.apk from any rom
decompile it and put your images in the images folder then compile it again

Thanks so much but I'm not familiar with decompiling and recompiling apk's. Any idea where I could find a tutorial? Thanks!

Questions should be asked in Q&A forums, not Development forums.
Thread moved.
its very simple just read some tutorials about the apk manager tool it lets u decompile, change and recompile apps so the described way (take the cmwallpapers.apk) would be the waay i would have suggested u too

Those kinda files can only be extracted via computer, cos its got 2 parts to it
Sent from my WT19i using xda premium
Extract the files from winrar on computer, it will automatically extract both the files and join them.
