so I'm trying to write in "Update-Binary" in a Zip File .
In The Zip The Update-Binary is Located : META-INF < COM < GOOGLE < ANDROID < (Here)
I'm trying to write and edit some things into the file , which I have tried with NotePad++ and Notepad and WordPad . None will work ... When I go to Flash I have a Error right away since The Update binary is the system to start the Flash it won't work . Any Help?
Which device are you writing the update binary for?

I'm trying to edit the file , and not break it and it's in a weird coding ( I know the name of the code language ) it's just Look at the File . I can't edit it without it breaking -.- \\ There a Line in it that says 2012 and I need to put 2013 and a few more thing then that ...
Here the File From Dev Host (File Has been Scanned by there Virus scanner) . http://d-h.st/D1Z
What coding language its using and I guess you can't edit it just simply using notepad++ maybe it requires some tools
One question that is in my mind is why you need to edit it and can't use that one

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

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.

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)

You can change permission in update scripts
While building do you mean on pc if this is the case you can't do so

I was trying to do this sometime back and when I changed permission on Linux desktop and pushed the app it's permission was again changed to default.
This is because permission attributes aren't contained in the files they're set by system and change on copying or moving

Hi there
I've decompiled a apk and changed the png files.
I've recompiled it using apktool and signed it with a private key, using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231561
I've manually installed it on my device and it works fine, but when I go to Google Play and search for the original app, it asks if I want to uninstall it, does this mean that the developer's private key is still attached to the recompiled apk?
Any help would be much appreciated.

No google play finds that there's an app with the same package and two applications with the same package cannot be installed so it asks for un installation

Thanks for the reply sak-venom1997, so do I just change the package name in the AndroidManifest.xml file?
It's ok I've figured it out now.
