And where you can still change the default language from Chinese to English by default after installation was English.
Can you tell me what program to use.
Game

locate and open apk as zip file.
browse the folders and find the image file (in drawable-hdpi or drawable-mdpi folders)
delete the image and install apk.
note: some apps won't work if u delete files. u can just replace them with any other image (same resolution)

[Q] changing default music players look?!

hello, i wonder if someone would help me out a little bit, a few days ago i started to try modifying the default MusicPlayer.apk on my Galaxy 3.. i extracted the stuff from the .apk with winrar, edited the .png files inside the "res" folder and then repacked all the files to a .rar archive,after that renamed it to .apk and resigned it (i tried even without resigning) but the app wont start..due to this is a system app i know i cant install it from the file manager,but usually it has to begin the installation etc.. i only get something like a parsing package error..any help would be appreciated,and thanks in advance..
[sorry if my english is wrong]
Of course it won't start
In the apk there are also more folders than the res-folder, you only see them if you decompile the apk.
But you only have to decompile them if you want to edit ...9.png (eg with that) files, otherwise just extract them to edit and afterwards add them again with WinRAR or something like that
in fact i did extract all files and folders so i repacked all of them again im sure i didnt miss any files,the problem is that i dont know what else the problem could be
danke trozdem für die hilfe help is always welcome
Edit: I found out how to do it open the .apk as an archive (with winrar or something similar) extract the files you want to edit,edit them and put them into the original .apk you wanted to edit (youi open the .apk file with winrar,and drag the edited files and just drop them to the opened archive,and let them get replaced) and done!!
I edited the original MusicPlayer.apk of my Galaxy 3 so that it looks like the Xperia's one (just edited some .png files)
btw here are some screens of my work (till now), but i have so much more things to edit

Tutorial-Port ARMv7 games to ARMv6

1-Download Astro file manager and rom
toolbox from market (google play store).
2-Put the app in an empty folder at your
SdCard.
3-Exctract it (to that folder, of course )
4-At rom toolbox, select "build.prop editor"
option, and change both
"ro.prodduct.cpu.abi" lines from "armeabi-
v6l" to "armeabi-v7l" and change both
"ro.product.brand" and
"ro.product.manufacturer" lines to "LGE"
and after this, change the
"ro.product.model" line to "LG-P970" ,
press menu button and select reboot
option.
5-Download the correct armv6 lib file of
your game (google it) anf go to astro file
manager (to the: folder of the extracted
game) and go to lib/armeabi-v7l/ and
delete the file if was here, now get the
downloaded lib file, put it here and rename
it to the name of the file you'v been
deleted. Now get "multi" option and select
all extracted files and select "zip", and wait
it complete, after this rename the .zip file
to .apk file, install and play!:thumbup:
Nice tutorial, faking the build.prop might get some apps/ games to work but their are still many which won't run on our hardware.
For an example, try Mozilla Firefox for ARMv7
But still, this is helpful as i know it and have been doing it since long back.

[Q] Choose Specific App Install Path

Hi
I'm trying to move my security software apk file to the /system/app folder to make it hard reset proof. I renamed the original apk which is in the /data/app folder. I then copied the file to the /system/app folder and renamed it to the original filename. I then installed the apk, chose replace. What happend was that the app created another apk in the /data/app folder this time with a "2" behind it.
I'm guessing the apk has code in it that tells it to install there. So what I was wondering, can I set a specific default install directory, install the apk and then return it to default?
or
Where do the file go after the apk is ran, the program isn't ran by the apk because when you try and run it, it just asks to install it, not open the program. Could I move the actual app files and edit the install path in where the os stores the list of installed apps and there paths (where ever that is?)?.

Guide: Translate/modify apk files

Thought id share this since it can be quite a hassle to find everything needed if you wanna translate stuff yourself or edit something for personal needs.
This was done on miui stable 8.1.3.0 from xiami.eu on a mi5 but should work on other miui versions and roms (with slight modification)
Download Bursoft apktool (http://bursoft-portable.blogspot.se/p/blog-page_23.html) and unzip to C:\BatchApkTool
Make sure you have java installed (www.java.com)
You will also need root
Fetch the following files/folders from your phone and copy them to C:\BatchApkTool\_framework
system/framework/framework-res.apk
system/framework/framework-ext-res/
system/app/miui/
system/app/miuisystem/
system/priv-app/miuisystemUI/
Place the apk you wanna modify in C:\BatchApkTool\_INPUT_APK\
Execute BatchApkTool.exe in c:\BatchApkTool\
Press 1 to decompile
Go to your C:\BatchApkTool\_INPUT_APK\ folder and if everything worked alright then open the newly created folder from the apk file you just decompiled and make whatever change you wanna do. If you wanna translate, then open the \res\ folder and make a new folder called values-sv (if you wanna add swedish language for example) then you can either copy strings.xml from another language folder and edit them or grab xml from a partially (or fully but not 100% voted) translated source like crowdin or github
Do not use caps or anything other wierd stuff or it wont compile afterwards
You can now return to batchapktool and press 3 to recompile and hopefully no errors, otherwise check log to determine possible cause.
Do not sign the apk!
Now open the recently modified compiled apk with winrar (your w/e zip program you prefer) and grab resources.arsc out of there. Now open a copy of the original apk and paste the resources.arsc into it (replacing the existing resources.arsc).
Plug in the phone to the computer and copy the apk to the internal memory
Open your favourite root browser (using romtoolbox filemanager myself) and go to the location of the original apk and rename it (or make a backup incase any error occurs), now copy the modified apk you copied earlier into the folder of the apk you wanna replace, e.g system/app/ or system/priv-app/
Kill/close app (incase it was started earlier) and restart it and see if the changes are live!
Edit: After you replaced the files, then you need to chmod those aswell to 0644 and possibly clear cache in twrp
Might have forgotten something but just ask and ill try to help

change created folder name by app

Hello
For example when I install kik messenger it creates empty folder "kik" for downloads etc. on emulated\o\
I want to change folder name kik in something else.Not within file browser because it makes just a
kik folder again.
It has to be done within the apk file. Can it be done with apk editor pro?
Thanks
Maybe you can try it , but we don't think it will do much for you,because my brother did ,
I don`t know where or wich folder inside the apk I have to search.
And don`t know which string to search for.
create folder or something?
