Well I'm a graphics designer. I took the phone.apk from my rom. Did some photoshop and voila. Custom dialer and all. But it won't install. I really need some help resolving this issue.

you probably need to build it into the ROM, or boot into recovery and adb push the file into the proper place for it to work
I tried repacking it into the rom and reflashing the rom. Once done the rom didn't work properly. I didn't have google sync for my contacts or market. How can I push the file properly to replace the original?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
first backup original
adb pull /system/app/phone.apk phone.apk.bak
then push i would delete it
adb shell rm -f /system/app/phone.apk
then push the edited one
adb push /dir/to/apk/phone.apk /system/app/phone.apk
Thank you. I will try this later tonight. Ill post the outcome.

Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
Whats going on.
How can I get past this?
Help please...
can you post the apk? attach it to the first post and we can try it out, might be that your sdk is not set up correctly or any hundred other variables

Since you're editing an APK, I'm pretty sure the APK needs to be signed. Check out APK Manager here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701. There is also a new app that allows you to sign APKs on your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857450. Never tried it though.
Also, I've read elsewhere that you'll need to edit the images is the contacts.apk as well (the dialer in phone.apk is only displayed while actually on a call).
I will edit some images on the contacts.apk might take a few days. depending on how much time I get. this is first go at this so dont expect too much. Just something different to see.
Hi guys,
Long time stalker, first time poster.
I am trying to use APK manager to edit some third party app apk's themes.
When i use option 9 to decompile, i try using option 11 to compile again straight away just to see if everything works ok...
If i decompile and change an image in res/drawable hdpi, i always get an error message when i try and compile it again...
Even if i only change one image and then compile it, it will show an error.
Does anyone know why im getting this error?
Thanks for any help you guys can give, its really frustrating!
Does anyone know why?
use the older version of the apktool.jar file. You can get it from his google code page.
Also remember if the image your changing is a 9.png then you need to make sure the all black, and totally clear edges stay that way or else you'll get an error compiling them again.
Another good idea is to post the portion of your log.txt file showing what's causing the error, cause otherwise we're just guessing.
And a final good idea is to ask your question in the apk manager thread. You'll get better support there.
Question is, can someone modify the apk as below???

Turns out, there's a secret flag within Search that lets you use the hotword, set by default to 'Google,' anywhere in search results instead of just the home Activity. By default, Search will let you say "Google" to activate voice input only in the main Search screen, after which you'd have to tap the Back button in order to use it again. It's nice, but it's not very fluid, as you have to keep touching your device.
The secret flag enables it in search results, so you can perform search after search after search without ever touching your phone or tablet.
As for the technical details, the flag is located in res/values/bools and is called hotword_from_results. To activate it, one would flip it from false to true, like so:
<bool name="hotword_from_results">true</bool>

I decompiled, made the above changes, recompiled with no errors, and got it to install but it force closes every time i try to open it. Maybe someone else can provide some insight. I used AutoAPKTool to make the edits
Cans someone resolve this? I'd do it myself but having tons of trouble getting my device to show on adb (after many tries, different methods)
I tried to make an Xposed module to patch it on the fly, but it is not working:
Code:
resparam.res.setReplacement("com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox", "boolean", "hotword_from_results", true);
upon starting the module, I get "Resource$NotFoundException", I tried other forms of the setReplacement method but none worked. I am still new to Xposed, so maybe I am doing this in a wrong way, attached are the sources of the Eclipse project in case someone can make it work.
If someone have the source of google now apk i can do something
I don't know if it's available, or also can be made from decompiling and recompile

no you dont need source, just decompile. change the value, recompile. replace it
done.
Yes I know it's just iam working right now in my app and for me it's much easier to have the source I only had to import to eclipse than playing with apk tool etc in a few hours I will do that

you dont need to import to eclipse, all you do is just decompile it and change false to true.
you're making it so complicated on your part. i already did it, going to test it now it literally takes 30-45 seconds to do.

Yes but i was in the company desktop and here i don't have acess to apktool just because my company restricts the download site as dev host rapid share etc. now at home i had decompiled changed from false to true and recompiled and signed etc etc.. so i tested and the behaviour is the same are you guys sure that it's only change to do?! i think i had all perfect if you want i can upload the "modded apk"
EDIT: it doesn't work i don't know why here is the decompiled files and its true, i recompile sign and check manifest and all ok, but after install the behavior its the same
https://mega.co.nz/#!KZlVkIgS!FVLyrUXwtI4w5NHX22u7bWMcWZpEr5-7SydfU_fYX6M
Here the recompiled file i made you can test:

Maybe the guy from the "30-45" seconds have more time to debugg this
I just modded this and got it running w/o issue.
I'm on CM 10.2 so I had to do some adjusting as there was an update installed to /data/app, with the original in /system/app.
I just uninstalled the update via the Play Store, and then moved the original (for CM it's QuickSearchBox.apk to QuickSearchBox.apk.bak), and adb pushed the newly modded apk (attached), to /system/app.
After doing all that, BOOM goes the dynamite.
Works for me, YMMV.

Any way to do this without using ADB? (Having tons of trouble getting my SGS3 to be recognized). Tried installing the apk by itself but the installation fails.

Are you rooted? I needed to make this a system app, as mentioned, to avoid signature conflicts, etc.
If so, I can make a zip to install to /system/app for you. I don't think it will work (as you have discovered), if you try and install as a standard app to /data/app, which is what clicking the download link and attempting to install is doing.

Please make a flashable zip, would love to try it
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
OK. So I didn't have any files in data/app so I went ahead and just made quixksearchbox a .bak, and pushed new one after renaming it and setting permissions. Its working great.

Here's a flashable zip. Though, because it has to place the APK in the /system/ folder (partition), the zip (out of the box), is only likely to work on the Nexus 4, since mount points are going to differ by phone. Any other phone you'll have to modify the script.
As mentioned previously, if you want to try and flash, FIRST, be sure to uninstall 'Google Search' from the play store.
Since I don't think there is a way to move a file in edify, and I'm too lazy to include a shell script to run a move command, I instead delete QuickSearchBox.apk if it is in your /system/app/ folder (instead of backing it up if you want to restore later), and then copy over qs.apk (the modded version).
I restored to original, ran the above process on CM 10.2, and got the results expected / desired (i.e. the attached zip is confirmed working in my setup).
It works on PA 3.99. However you'll need to set voice to US English or it won't work.

Would be nice if this could be activated with any language.
Is it possible by changing any other flag?

Has anyone been able to successfully decompile/edit/recompile any system apps? I think I managed framework-res.apk, even LGSystemUI.apk ok, but trying to recompile LGTeleService.apk just gives me constant errors (trying to get rid of that insufferable floating bubble that persists on top of the screen while you're on a call). Decompiling looks fine, but recompiling errors. I don't know if I have the wrong framework files or what, but I can't seem to figure it out. Anyone have any luck/tips? Thanks!

You might want to post what the errors are so we can look.. Without them can't be of much help
Use Apktool 2.0.1

Never mind. Turns out it's a shared library issue. Certain apks on the g4 can't be decompiled properly yet, including LGTeleservice and LGSettings
