So I tried to extract the MetroStation app on my computer. I wanted to add an icon to the app...
Steps:
1. Backed up MetroStation.apk by copy from /app to /sdcard with rootexplorer
2. Placed on computer
3. Extracted by changing apk to .zip
4. Added the icon I wanted
5. Zipped the folder and named it to original name with .apk extension
6. Used ApkManager, place MetroStation.apk into /place-here-for-signing
7. Signed thru ApkManager
8. reuploaded to phone and tried to install
9. Problem Parsing the Package...? What did I do wrong?

Did you uninstall the original app first? If not do that and it should work.

Hello there,
I found an easy way to change the icons of system apps[msg,music...etc] for ppl who don't know to use ADB
1.Now your ace should be rooted...install root explorer or any file browser that can copy the .apk from system/app.Eg..ive copied the music.apk to sd card.
2.now transfer it to your PC and replace the icon.png in drawable mdpi with your own file using winrar..[Every apk has a diffrent name for the icon..for some it will be ic_launcher..etc],so check it and replace
4.now place the edited .apk in the app folder in the zip file i've attached,move it to your sd card[don't put in any folder]and flash in recovery...
I think most of the people know of this site?
Even I got in touch with it on the first day of visiting SGA forums.
but you cant change the icons in app drawer using uot..you can do that by following my steps......
Oh, had no idea. Was just generally talking about the site, i installed Go launcher on the first day so i havent got in touch with TW xD

i use MyFiles.apk and now it doesn't show MyFiles, just replaced the icon then the apk using Root Explorer and rebooted, disappeared. what to do?
you cant just replace your apk in root explorer...follow the updated method above
I did like you say up, used ur zip, replaced the icon then inserted the apk in app folder in the UOT zip and entered Recovery mode and installed it from there, still doesnt' appear, maybe because i change it 1st, and didn't do backup :7
try changing something else..make sure your using .png of same dimension
Tried it with memo.apk an nothing happen.

every time i try download a APK file it does it as a zip file how do i change it to apk i think this as something to do with Google chrome.
just rename the file .apk
Or just click on the zip and extract the
.apk. Sometimes the apk is contained in the zip.

in a file explorer, press and hold the file and select rename.
Rename the extension and you should be good.

Sometimes APKs are zipped in a folder. You have to extract the folder to get the APK

Chrome beta renames every apk into a zip. Two solutions:
1. Download your apk with the stock browser.
2. Download Astro file manager (o any other app like astro) to rename the zip.

Yep, that's what I'm saying exactly. It's happened to me numerous times. I prefer root explorer to astro tbh but its just a matter of personal preference. Plus extracting the apk from the zip eliminates having to flash the zip in recovery to install the apk.

can some one please post the voicemail apk from the fd24 build?
You can simply extract it from your rom zip file. Unzip your downloaded file and goto system/app folder. You will find the apk file from there. Extract it and move to your phone's /system/app folder. That's it.
Edit: it seems like it's not there. Checking...

lol. its not. i can only find it in the patch folder... witch is a .p file and renaming to an apk file doesnt work.
if you are referring to visual voicemail, here you go. Push to system/app and check permissions and reboot..

Like I said I was checking more deep inside.
OK. Try this.
1. Copy the vtt-sprint.apk file from zip file to your phone's /system/app folder.
2. Unzip attached file and copy com.coremobility.app.vnotes.apk file to /data/app folder (if the permission is different with other apk files, then change the permission like other files)
3. Reboot and check if you see the voicemail. I think this would be enough to make voicemail working.
If not working,
4. From attached zip file, copy com.coremobility.app.vnotes.apk to your sd card.
5. Run com.coremobility.app.vnotes.apk and this will install the voicemail again.
Done. Let me know if it does not work.

Haven't tried it yet but maybe it requires TW framework? Idk. I'm on AOKP right now, anyone else try this?
Edit: Actually it doesn't look like it needs TW framework since people are getting to work on their Galaxy Nexus's
Hey.....when it is stable ...that's going to be sick bro........it has crazy potential........

running cm9 beta 3 nyan also and it works until i reboot. after reboot get fc. reinstall and works again.
Now.....after reinstall..should I reboot or no..?....I mean I will have to do a reboot eventually...
UNTOUCHABLE EPIC CM9 BETA 3
i would try it without a reboot at all to see if it does work for you. i did not reboot after installing.
I just installed and no reboot no move and it appears to work fine. I would love if eventually the microphone on the screen in cm9 in the search bar could be modified to run svoice instead of googles voice search

It works fine for me on both cm9 builds and additional kernals

Folks, just download the file from here and extract the files from the rar. Push the voicetalk.apk to /system/apps and change the permissions, (or use root explorer) then open the APK file in winrar or winzip, go to the lib folder, then the armeabi folder and extract the libvoxtts.so from that folder. Put the libvoxtts.so file in /system/lib and change the permissions appropriately. Reboot and it will show in the app drawer under S Voice.
No problems on reboot at all. In fact... here are the S voice APK and the lib file already extracted for you, just open in winrar and put the apk in /system/apps/ and the .so file in /system/lib/, change the permissions on both files to rw-r--r-- and then reboot and you will be good to go.

Such a cool app. Works good. A lot of thing are missing and don't work. There are S voice setting we don't have because we are only installing the S voice app and there's more to it. But I will say this, if you are wanting a SGSIII before you try this. This is going to straight piss you off and make it worst. Sprint had better be bring us the full version of this phone.

Hello XDA, I did not create this, just thought I'd share. This is NOT a flashable .zip. To install: 1- download aokpbootanimation.zip from link provided. 2- using a file explorer copy file to /system/media. 3- rename existing bootanimation.zip or delete it. 4- rename aokpbootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip 5- set permissions to rw-r--r--. 6- reboot and enjoy https://www.dropbox.com/s/s3v6z6ddlv73wqn/aokpbootanimation.zip
