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?

I can . But i am out of town at present.
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)

to decompile we use an app called as apk multi tools and another app apk manager !!
both are good...works fine for me...!!
i think u will need sdk tools installed in pc to make apk managaer and apk tools work on your pc !!
google about it, you will get more answers.
and there is a guide in development section named 'make custom rom' which shows how to decompile any apk..!!
