I got the apk file of whatsapp, and I renamed to .zip to extract the contents to change the icons by replacing them in the drawable-hdpi folder. Now the problem is that I zipped all the contents and renamed it to apk again but after this the file isn't getting installed (I have uninstalled whatsapp on my phone because we cannot replace it). Any suggestions??

You didn't really need to zip it, if you have a root browser, you can actually extract the apk, do what you wanted to do, and then compress it and change the file name from .zip to .apk.

I tried but it is still not working. On what compression method should I keep? Store or normal or best???

What root browser are you using? If you are using root browser or root explorer, it shouldn't matter.

OK, extract it as APK, then go to the folder the apk was extracted, change the images or image, then compress, and change file extension (zip to apk). If not, you will have to use apktool.

if you want to back up system apps then i would prefer that you use titanium back up
if using root explorer, just long tap the file, copy and paste to your sd card
restore by simply pasting it back and setting the correct permissions
Sorry ..i m new here

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.

or just use lgpwn, that's what i did, and u can easily unroot by going into settings on supersu (of course download it off of playstore) and click "Uninstall root Perminantly" or something like that and boom, you're unrooted. And the best part about it is you can go back to root whenever you want and do the same process to get unrooted and you won't damage your device.
I'm not trying to unroot, simply needed the stock System and Meta-Inf files.

You are asking for the whole ROM, just download the kdz or cwm backup.

Will I be able to extract the System and Meta-Inf files? It's only two little files.

Sure but you might need a manager to do it. I created an update.zip file from titanium backup and extracted the meta-inf from there. . .

So you need stock files or just any flashable zip file to get its content? If you want later please download from http://d-h.st/T63
Does anyone have just the stock files? I'm not the best when it comes to kdz's, and the last flashable zip I found wasn't extractable. This is what I'm trying to undo.
