It seems that this is the first time I start a new thread.
Hi, all. I want to know how to install two versions of one same application at the same time.
As a matter of fact, I want to install Opera Mini 4.2 China Version and Opera Mini 4.2 Internaional Version at the time. But...Since Opera Mini 5 makes it difficult to describe the question, here takes HelloWorld.apk as an example.
Well, there are two versions of the application "HelloWorld": 1.0 and 1.1. (This is just an example)
I have installed HelloWorld 1.0 on my phone, and when I try to install HelloWorld 1.1, the 1.0 version will be replaced. But...I want to have both of them installed on my phone. That is to say, there will be two "HelloWorld" icons in the app drawer.
I use APKTool to extract the com.hello.world.apk into some "text" files, including an AndroidManifest.xml and a lot of *.smali files. In the AndroidManifest.xml, I saw this:
<manifest package="com.hello.world" versionCode="100" versionName="1.0">
I chaged the value "com.hello.world" to "com.goodbye.world". Then I re-build the apk file and transferred it to my phone.
I installed the modified package, it was successfully installed and I see two "HelloWorld" icons in my app drawer!
I try to launch the HelloWorld 1.0, it succeeds.
I try to launch the HelloWorld 1.1, it FCs immediately.
Well, this is my situation. How can I make both of them launch-able in my phone? Is it possible? What should I modify apart from "package" filed in AndroidManifest.xml?
Thanks a lot.

Well I'm not an android programmer but if I'm understanding you correctly you did the following (in the order I'm listing them):
1) Installed helloworld 1.1 (which over-wrote v1.0)
2) Opened the APK for helloworld 1.0 and made the manifest change
3) Installed the modded helloworld 1.0 on your phone
From a programmer point of view (just not with Android), if you followed the above scenario what is happening is HW1.1 installs it's files which are updated versions of the previous one (why else install an update). When you modded the HW1.0 you only changed the name and nothing else.
What is happening is when you go to install the modded version it's overwriting the newer files with the older ones since the phone is assuming the modded app is an entirely new program and allows the process to occur. This is why the modded one works and the 1.1 won't since the files it needs are the wrong version.
The only option of really have is to mod the actual program to look for different filenames, but without the source code to that app, that isn't going to happen.
Basically you need to have version 1.1 use the default files, and with the modded 1.0 you need to tell the software to "look" for the updated filenames (just don't forget to rename the actual files too).
Short of all that, as far as I know your SOL.

Great thanks to your reply. But...
Android uses .apk files to install and run the application. When installing an apk file, the package installer just copys the apk file to /data/app directory and "register" the program in the system. The apk itself will not be "extracted" or anything else. That is to say, an apk file can be installed, and also can be run.
On the other hand, the apk will generate some files in /data/data directory when running. I am considering that it was these file that made the modded version FCs. I will try to look into these files to see will this works...
English is my second language, hoping that I did not made many grammar misktaks...
+1 on this topic. It's been a year and a half since the last reply and I've done a bit of searching online to find no answers. I anyone have some feedback on this? I'd ultimately like to use this to install two Google voice applications. I actually have an app from a blacked out version with a different icon. But if I install it it will overwrite the original Google voice app

I'd also like to know if that's possible. Even if it were possible, and an updated version of helloworld is relaeased (Say, HelloWorld v1.2), which version would it replace? Would it replace the (original) HelloWorld 1.1 or the (modded)HelloWorld 1.0?
Yes. Titanium backup. Profiles. These are the keywords.

It would replace the only legitimate version found, the unmodded one. The point of modding the APK is to make Android see it as a completely different app, and not think of one as an update to the other.

that feature on tibu is for switching DATA profiles basically so two or people can play the same game or whatever and keep they're progress separate like having multiple saved games. its not for switching versions of an app
I've tried to googling how to install multiple same applications in one device,but i didn't found anything how to do that simply...there are lot of stuff using ant and ruby script,but don't understand with that..so anyone figured out how to install multiple same apps with simply method? because i want to install operamini 7.5,but I've already instaled version 6.5...

Hi
I would also like to do this for Google earth app I want to have both version 7.1.3 and 8.0.1 because the earlier version has more features but the latest looks more beautiful so I read the instructions from that link but it is way too complicated for a noob user like me plus judging from the last message it seems it hasn't been resolved so isn't there an app or xposed mod that does this automatically ?
Hi all
I have a little problem here. I was using telcel jb rom but 3g didnt worked for me and now i know why.
Mexico operators doesnt work with 3g on 2100 Mhz (my operator works in this frequency), and they've disabled it somehow for mexico.
In ZAF (south africa) JB 3g works fine for me, but doesn't have my language and i can't figure out a way to "translate" it. I tried modifying the apps puting inside them in the values folder the folder for pt-BR, but the apps doesn't work after re-compiling.
I really upset with this all. Somebody could help me on this?
I ask 2 things:
- Is there anyway to change the system network's operating frequency? how can i do it?
- Is there anyway to put my language inside ZAF jb apps? they have values for pt-PT but not for pt-BR. The files for pt-BR i take from the mexico jb apps (decompile with dependencies, lg-res.apk, recompile after put the values folder from mexico in zaf apps)

I can help you about how to add languages to apk. I guess you got compile error while rebuild apk back right? That because some string format in strings.xml are incorrect. I think it apktool bug. The problem is percent (%) character. It's used to format number. If you want % character in the text, you must use %% to escape it and it give you % in output text.
You must correct all error that display in apktool output while rebuild it back. And to make it works you should edit following apk
- LGSystemSetting.apk
- LGSystemUI.apk
- LGHome3.apk
- and what ever apps that you want to add your language to.
So... It's easier to just replace that apk from Mexico rom into ZAF rom.
Thanks for replying artit. I got some errors rebuilding the apks, but I installed lg-res framework with apktool and after this, i got them to compiling.
But i pushed them to my phone and the system became messed up. The status bar didnt show up (i edited LGsystemUI.apk), home didnt show up, settings, lockscreen, nothing, just the lockscreen wallpaper. I edited them, add my language but just this.
I tried replacing the apps from mexico but the phone don't boot when i replace some apps like installservice apk
One question: Do i have to be on a deodexed ROM to edited apps work? if yes, i found my problem, cause i take the apps from my stock rom odexed

You can try Lelus method, it much easier than rebuild apk ,
For odexed file, I think you need to deodex apk first. But to make new apk work you must copy
- META-INF folder
- AndroidManifest.xml
from original apk to new apk. And for LG stock rom apk, you cannot modify AndroidManifest.xml file. If you modify it, that apk will not work. You should zipalign apk after rebuilt but it not necessary.
Maybe you can use apk from Jelly Cream rom, it's deodexed and has pt-BR, I add all language from Mexico & Thailand rom to Europe V20H. But I modified some framework and some config in apk. If you're still not success with this I'll reverse all changes and rebuild that apk for you. I plan to add new language to Jelly cream rom this weekend.

I don't think so. You can flash new baseband to alter usable frequency. And you can change phone frequency for 2G/3G in hidden menu.

Thanks again artit. I tried lelus method, didnt work, so im trying decompile/recompile apks, bot not much luck
I deodexed all apks and framework and pushed to my phone after removing the .odex files
Im stucked at lgsettings.apk, i can decompile it by installing lg-res.apk into apkmultitools, but goterrorwhen trying to recompile it. If you want to i post the error log
I also tried using jellycream apps, but my only try was replacing all apps so got bootloop. I will try replacing just the necessary ones - lgsettings, systemui, lghome, camera, installservice
Hi everybody,
here are my impressions and questions ( please answer me ) after reading forum threads and playing with my fit.
Its one day im using sgf and impressions are good, except for all the limitations and "walls" met with a non samsung dev.
First of all, my FIT firmware is R350XXU0BND8 and actually im using Fit Manager 1.49
Fit connects well with phone and everything is working except SHealth (is there a way to get rid of this?)
but i will play more with it ... not now cause "fitness" use is not my first need
Even the clock+weather layout doesn't work. I have found somewhere the "SweatherProvider" apk, but it wont install on my FIND5, why? is there a way to fix it?
I have edited build.props (like stated here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718949) and now all the "gear settings, gear phone and gear calendar" apps are working. They are running a little slow, but acceptable.
Is there any way to put the icon in an easier place? instead of scroll--> settings-->apps --> gearPhone app ?
First question: every Manager version works only with relative firmware, right? So if i want to use last mgr version (1.67) i have to put on FIT last firmware (R350XXU0BNE5) right? and this should work even with 1.70 ( found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789503)
Second question: Wich are all the apk's that i should install except manager? I mean do i need Fitness_with_gear, shealth_service, Shealth apk's?
Final and "stupid" question. With non samsung devices i have to always update firmware and manager versions manually, right?
sorry... missing phone info
My phone OppoFind 5 with OmniRom 4.4.2
I have imported a Huawei Mediapad Honor X1 from China. I have managed to set it to English and installed all the Google apps i need (or think i need because every time i want to use something specific i learn that some hidden Google app is needed to do the trick).
Because i do not want to reset everything to English when i reset to factory default i hoped i could find a custom rom with English as it's standard language and the playstore installed etc.
I did some hefty reading in this forum to find several things.
A) there are custom ROMs but these are work in progress;
B) there are official ROMs;
C) After i update from the stock image the DPI will change so some apps will not work and the UI will look horrible.
So based on these findings (if they are correct) i have some further questions.
1) Are there 'finished' custom ROMs that i could use?
2) Are there official custom ROMs that have English as their default language, have playstore installed and have the original DPI
3) Currently i have Build number 7D-503LV100R001C233B002 and kernel version 3.0.8-01316-gb959b08. Is there a reason to upgrade from this version? From what version will the DPI change
4) I notice that it looks like the GPS is lacking connection time (i noticed my weather app doesn't change location when i am in another city). An app like GPS tester shows that my GPS does work. So i think it has something to do with automatically checking for changes.
Does anybody knows if this is a known problem?

You could try updating to B006 or B007, which don't mess with the DPI and are still 4.2.2. I don't recall which one made the DPI change but you can read acuratslan's threads/;posts.
Root it and install Xposed framework to suit your taste.
I'm deeply puzzled, and a bit annoyed my shiny new Z7 Max doesn't seem to have working infrared. I can see the thing, but software can't.
Bought the phone off Feebay, has a "Westone" logo on the back, along with China Mobile. ROM seems stock, shows as Android 5.1.1 and has no obvious bloatware.
The reception seems no better than on my old THL T6 pro, but the GPS is vastly better (can even get a lock indoors). Both hate having two sims (from the same provider) fitted - Another reason I upgraded, and another irritation, but one I can live with.
There was something about explore Nubia OS when it first started, and I'm used to KitKat, so there might be some tweaks or other away from stock I don't know of.
What's bothering me is I can't find any sign of an IR app on it, and anything I've downloaded just says the phone doesn't have an IR port.
Anyone got any ideas? Or known working/ stable roms where the IR *does* function?
I'm using MoKee, and it seems to work; can control my tv, which is all i've used it for. The app that comes with the ROM is called Infrared control.
This is the one I bought ebay.co.uk/itm/272424574812
I can't find any hint of IR software on the phone as it reached me, so will see if the seller can help (unlikely) and then.. Gasp.. invalidate my warranty by finding a rom that *does* operate the features the phone was sold as having.
I imported mine, but it also came running android 5.1 and with play store. Unfortunately I didn't try out IR before installing custom ROM, and can't remember if there was any IR app installed.
The app which comes with MoKee appears to be a Nubia app though.

I can't find a download for the IR app that came with the phone, so may as well go for a different rom I guess.
Are there any known/ annoying bugs in Mokee?
Nothing I've noticed, but there's some stuff I haven't tested, like second SIM, Bluetooth audio and tap to pay. Probably other stuff too. Do a backup first and you've got nothing much to lose.

I recieved mine yesterday from GearBest. It also has the Westone logo on it and aside from missing the IR app was also missing the FM Radio.
After a little searching around I found a German forum from where I downloaded the, what seem to been stock, apks.
Now my FM Radio is working fine, but IR is still not functioning. An IR Romote App sugested a library is missing....
P.M. If you want the links, since I cannot post them due to new member restrictions.
I wasn't worried about FM radio, but did notice there was no sign of it.
I looked around for the IR app, but kept getting rather suspicious looking, definitely not, IR things in disguise.. Sigh.
It sounds like you've made some inroads though, fingers crossed there's a solution to this (though slapping a non stock rom on isn't a problem, *if* all features work relaibly).
Edit to add:
I've found an official ROM and copied the control and control test apks from it.. But although the app loads/ runs, there's still no sign of life from the IR led itself. No doubt I'm missing something the OS requires, it's been a while since I played with these things (and I wasn't very good at it then!).
I have same problem i extracted from 3.84 romofficial the 2 apk ir control and zfm radio only radio works hope there is a solution out there....
I bought the phone from china bangood and no help is provided...

this is the infrared apk (cn.nubia.control v3.0.1.1011) from the CM12.1 that works 100% in the CM12.1 ROM, you can try it on your ROM and see.
Note: - i beleive it has to be a system app but you can try installing as normal and see if it works, if not then you will have to make it a system app, also the Z7 Max has to be rooted to be able to do as below.
Here's how to make it a system app -
1). Install the attached app as usual.
2). use an explorer app like 'Root Explorer' and
move "ZTE_IRControl.apk" (which will very likely be in /data/app)
to /system/priv-app
then restart phone and then try the infrared app.

This apk doesn't install I have the phone rooted and my ircontrol.apk that I got from previous ROM I install it doesn't work then move it to system/priv-app reboot still not working I'm loving this phone but I don't like that ir is not working
I got mine from Banggood as well. Here's how I got both FM and IR working. All referenced apps unless otherwise stated can be found on Needrom under the Z7 Max section.
Phone needs to be rooted - use the utility "Z7 Max All In One Tool v3.3.0" to root and install TWRP, followed by SuperSU ZIP file from Chainfire via TWRP.
Extract the nubia_IRControl1.apk and nubia_ZFM.apk from the Stock ROM V3.89. Place them in your SDCard/microSD card.
Under Settings > Security - Allow installation from Unknown Sources, install the IR and FM APKs.
I used 3C Toolbox Pro from Play Store to move both apps to the system folder. Both runs nicely in the stock Nubia 3.96 that came on the phone.
Further on, I flashed the ResurrectionRemix Nougat Rom dated Feb 03, 2017, both IR and FM apps are already included and working. Both the stock and RR ROMs were working nicely, I just wanted the latest security patch by moving to RR.
For starters thank you very much for your help I already root my device with kingroot and I copy the twoapks from previous ROM 3.89 and install them then made them system apps by copying them to priv-app with root explorer
The problem is that the IR still not working can you help me skittle bit more cause I don't won't to change ROM I like this 3.96 please advise...please
finally I flashed the ResurrectionRemix Nougat Rom dated Feb 03, 2017, both IR and FM apps are already included and working...do you have a link of official rom 3.96??
Unfortunately I cannot find a download for 3.96, the latest available is 3.89 from Needrom.

i too have the same issues, basically the IR has not been built into the lollipop rom. any help greatly appreciated as i love this rom
Radio is working on 3.96 but not ir only in RR nougat
Had other things take my attention off this problem - Glad to see lots of useful info in the thread now
I'd better get downloading and faffing.
