Just wondering if this is possible. I want to get the LG SmartShare app working on my Galaxy S3 so I can mirror my phone screen to my LG TV. I found the apk, but it doesn't install as the manufacturer doesn't match.
I know you can modify the build.prop on your phone, but is it possible to change something in the apk then recompile it? I assumed it would be in the android.os.Build class, but I can't seem to find that in the apk.
I did come across this page - http://braiden.org/?p=281, but no idea how to do it.
Cheers

Trying to find an app where I can beam files (pictures/pdfs/videos) without the need of a particular app. Like say I want to send a file to a family member, is there a way for him not to have an app to receive it? I found Beam NFC file from the play store but it never works.
Or am I wrong, that both devices have to have the same app?
Thank you.
Hey guys
Sorry if this doens't belong here.
I've recently purchased holo ring pro(for those who don't know it, its a pretty cool live wallpaper with a few rings spinning in the background) and to my surprise I found out that it doesn't allow some features like changing the background, it just lets you change its color.
So, of course I started googling and found the apk somewhere around. I unpacked it and found a folder with the default backround, so I guess that changing it for the background I want and repacking the apk should do the trick.
I tried installing that apk on my non rooted phone (for testing purposes of course :angel but of course it wouldn't pass the google license verification check
Now the thing is...I don't want to support piracy, I just want to make this small tweak to an app that I already bought so....is it possible to change the original apk and install it without license or checksum problems? Or finding the application files on my phone and changing them right there?
TL;DR - I wanna tweak an apk (of a paid app that I purchased) and install it on my non rooted phone. Is there any way to do it without rooting the device?
Thanks in advance !
I am 99% sure this isn't possible but figured I'd ask in a more general forum (GS8+ was a bust) on if there is a way to replace system apps without root(or an easy way to change a system apk to 'clone' and install on the user side by looking like a different app.)
I've figured out what needs done to force the Samsung Dex app to run without the dock, but due to many reasons cannot side load the altered apk. Changing the app name, installation directory, etc. the phone still sees it as the same apk/app and will not install it. Can't change the version and overwrite from what I can tell because I can't sign it with the samsung key obviously.
thoughts? Directions?
Only thing I can see to do, is rewrite the app complete (names, folder structure, etc. of the needed parts) to actually make it a completely new app to the phone. This looks to be many many hours of work and the route I least want to go. If I can help it.
i know its a old thread, but what needs to be done to force Dex? I have a hard time on my note 10+ it keeps saying faulty usb-c port due to some kind of water not there.
My iptv provider has bought Iptv smarters Pro 1.6.9 and had the Dns hardcoded into the apk by whmcs allowing users to login with there username and password. We have a bunch of resellers that would like the providers Name/Logos and in app images changed to there own. I have Used Apk icon editor pro to open the apk and get to the res folder to change the Images with the same format/sizes/names. I then rename the app under values/strings.xml. Pack the pack then everything works fine. A week or so passes and BAM they get blocked, the app no longer is working. Says The app you are using is not original, Your tv service provider has not provided your the original app Image shows what the message is. How can i make this stop? How is the app phoning home? https://i.ibb.co/qJkvJ0h/photo-2019-01-28-21-23-50.jpg
Rebrand, icon, logo, hardcode url?
Did anybody work out how to rebrand? Would like to try do it myself as a project as I currently provide iptv to customers but would love to make my own app just how I want it
Surely the rebranding part is easy enough, ive unpacked IPTVSmarters Pro apk and currently seeing many chances to edit the images, its the hardcoded url and home phoning i dont understand, so you said they blocked you... as in your iptv server IP/DNS blocked? Assuming the ip/dns you hardcoded into the app right? I am 100% noob at this apk editing stuff im just playing to see what can be done... Any help or basic instruction is grateful
it can be done with APK editor Pro version 1.10.0, simple edit then click images and have fun... anyone know how to hardcode that's willing to teach?

When you are in res/values/strings.xml do not change the name. I know this is part of what you want to do but for it to work just leave it be. Put you name on logo image or something. I know this works as i have done it myself and was told to do this by a dev that puts this in apps. I know its a late reply but better late than never
hello. i thought to be smart and download the APK through a downloader in browser on PC, but is still not able to install. it just says "App not installed".
ANYHOW... i feel this app should work just fine on the phone. problem is is that the company don't want it on other phones. so, there are some HTC and Sony apps from my past that won't install to a Coolpad phone i have.
is there any way to modify the APK so it will properly install? i don't believe the app to actually be incompatible, it is just proprietary to a different brand of phone.
the app i most want right now is > https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonymobile.xperiaweather
i used this to download it > https://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
thanks for reading! i await any responses

If your phone's Android is rooted, you can try to edit Android's build.prop file housed in /system, will say change there brand / model settings according to your needs. Use a "BuildProp Editor" app to manage this,

shoot. i have yet to figure out how to root this phone. it doesn't seem like there is any public root method for this phone yet. drat.
but if i could do that on the phone... shouldn't it also be possible to do this in the APK? i also don't know exactly what info that would be put there even if the phone was rooted. meh.
i figured worst case, i could use the regular Android software on PC to make changes to the APK. other then that, i think it could be possible to make changes to the APK with luckypatcher, but am not certain about that.

I never made use of LP.
You of course can try to decomplie an APK, rewrite app's source code and afterwards recompile it and then correctly sign the APK. Personally never have done so.

oof. that sounds complicated. lol :/
i know there is Android Studio and SDK tools, but there is a lot there and i don't know exactly what is needed. i was just hoping that changing an APK for proprietary apps to install on non-proprietary devices was a normal thing, and that there would be a straight forward way to do this. sadly, i don't see any guides on this.
might just have to look around for something more generalized, like what you were talking about. i am surprised that there isn't a normal process for this type of thing. meh
well, thanks anyhow. thank you for replying here. at least that might give me an idea on where to go from here. in the meantime, imma just give this thread some more time. see if anyone knows anything more specific about this.
P.S. oh yeah! i do recall some kind of google market app that would allow you to change, or emulate, a device to download apps from the Play Store that are stated as not being compatible. will have to look for that and see if it still works. if someone knows where to find this, that would be really great.
