Hello, I need help to make andoid apk usable. I editied factory APK to change:
-icon
-starting logo
-remove some unneeded png files
-changed some logos in APK for own- the same resolution and names
I tried it to compile by APK Easy Tool v1.59.2 but I can not finish of Compile option.
Can anybody help me to make my APK working??
nobody can help with it??
I would try other apps like Apktool M or apkeditorpro. First thing thiugh is look for compile errors log. What kind of error does it give you? I'm unfamiliar with apkeasy.
You can send me the file if you can't solve. But no guarantees i'd be able to help further.
Hi, thanks for reply. I send apk on pm.

Hi
sorry if for expert devs this is a basic question
I have been looking around but I did not found this explained
HOW TO CHANG THE ICON ASSOCIATED WITH AN APK ????
I know how to open a apk with 7 zip and that I have to change the png file there
but which file ?????
do I need to change just the file associated with the icons or all the others ?
I mean .... inside (for example) mm.apk I found the icons related to contacts.apk to email.apk etc ... do I need to chenge all of them with the new ones ?
decompile and recompile
Decompile the app with apktool and go into the res folder and find the icon u want to replace ,,change it and recompile with apktool.Lastly sign the app and you are good to go
I have never tried change icons but i tried to change the background images for dialer and system menu. I used the same method mentioned above by opening the apk using 7zip and changing the images files with my custom images and rename them exactly the same as old ones.
Then I used CWM to flash the zip which contains the modified apk (i.e. contacts.apk and framework-res.apk)
However, I would recommend that you backup your ROM before flashing the modified zip file just in case something wrong happens.
Good Luck
I remember that there is a tool much faster than apktool ti decompile recompile but ... I have not been on the forum for long and I lost it
Is it also possible to change only theicon by using vrtheme ? if yes can someone explain how ?
Thanks

All very interesting I am sure I will use it at some point
I installed Java SDK and APKtool ... I remembered what they are for ... but still ...
the only thing I needed to know was if I need to change all the images in res or only that associated to the icon.....

Your help is very much apreciated
I knew approximately what to do to modify the theme also if in general I preferred kitchen uot
Instead I was hoping in a simple change of icon afetr decompressing/decompiling the apk but apparently it is not so simple ...never mind

Package name is actually coded in its java source files, and just changing the name in xml files gives errors. And I guess its package name references to other core Android system files, which in this case if its renamed somehow will break other features. So I guess, its pretty much not possible to change the package name from com.android.settings to some other.
I wonder, if anyone has found the application of Cloud Print (official) without icon in the launcher (non-icon).
I tried descompilarla and compile, and I have not succeeded.
I tried to decompile, fix it and compile it, but I have not succeeded
I would greatly appreciate if anyone could help me.

What do you mean you have not succeeded?
Decompile the apk file, remove the icon and replace a transparent icon with the same name and if possible in same format as the older icon.
Also in android manifest file, look whether the icon is given with an extension. If so, change it to the icon's format that you have placed.
Now again recompile the apk file and also sign the apk.
There are lots of tutorials on both Google and XDA that will help you to learn decompiling and recompiling an apk.
Press thanks if I have helped you.
