Trying to change package name

[MartynC]

Hi,

I am trying to change the package name of an app created in ai.

I have followed taifun's guide (http://puravidaapps.com/packagename.php) except that I am using apkstudio 3. However, I cannot get anything to work. Even if I recompile without making changes the resultant apk will not install.

The app straight from ai and installs OK

I decompiled and recompiled the app without making changes. The resultant apk will not install.

The recompiled apk will not load in appToMarket 4 either.

1. use apkstudio 3 to decompiler the apk

2. use apk studio 3 to recompiler the apk

3. copy the new apk to an Android device

4. install the app with Android Package intsaller.

5. I get the permissions window and click install

6. I get the error message "App not installed"

I then tried using apktool directly to decompile and recompile the app and get the same result.

I also tried the online decomiler at http://www.decompileandroid.com/ and recompiled using apkstudio. Still doesn't work.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

do you use the texting component in your app?

what about following the mentioned steps EXACTLY as described here?

Hi Taifun,

not using the texting component.

I can't find apk studio version 1 so cannot follow your guide exactly. Can only find apk studio 3 which decompiles the jar file as well.

Have now decompiled and recompiled an unchanged apk successfully using oneclick but as soon as I change anything the result apk no longer works.

I'm still nowhere with this.

Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions?
Has anybody rename an app package recently, and if so, what tools did you use?

Does anybody know where I can find version 1 of apk studio?

Yes, I've changed my app package name with APKMODDER created by Gabriele Cozzolino. After download and install, you need to donate some amount in order to get full functions.
