[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wzyboy:
It seems that this is the first time I start a new thread.

Hi, all. I want to know how to install two versions of one same application at the same time.

As a matter of fact, I want to install Opera Mini 4.2 China Version and Opera Mini 4.2 Internaional Version at the time. But...Since Opera Mini 5 makes it difficult to describe the question, here takes HelloWorld.apk as an example.

Well, there are two versions of the application "HelloWorld": 1.0 and 1.1. (This is just an example)

I have installed HelloWorld 1.0 on my phone, and when I try to install HelloWorld 1.1, the 1.0 version will be replaced. But...I want to have both of them installed on my phone. That is to say, there will be two "HelloWorld" icons in the app drawer.

I use APKTool to extract the com.hello.world.apk into some "text" files, including an AndroidManifest.xml and a lot of *.smali files. In the AndroidManifest.xml, I saw this:

<manifest package="com.hello.world" versionCode="100" versionName="1.0">

I chaged the value "com.hello.world" to "com.goodbye.world". Then I re-build the apk file and transferred it to my phone.

I installed the modified package, it was successfully installed and I see two "HelloWorld" icons in my app drawer!

I try to launch the HelloWorld 1.0, it succeeds.

I try to launch the HelloWorld 1.1, it FCs immediately.

Well, this is my situation. How can I make both of them launch-able in my phone? Is it possible? What should I modify apart from "package" filed in AndroidManifest.xml?

Thanks a lot.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayvenhawk:
Well I'm not an android programmer but if I'm understanding you correctly you did the following (in the order I'm listing them):

1) Installed helloworld 1.1 (which over-wrote v1.0)

2) Opened the APK for helloworld 1.0 and made the manifest change

3) Installed the modded helloworld 1.0 on your phone

From a programmer point of view (just not with Android), if you followed the above scenario what is happening is HW1.1 installs it's files which are updated versions of the previous one (why else install an update). When you modded the HW1.0 you only changed the name and nothing else.

What is happening is when you go to install the modded version it's overwriting the newer files with the older ones since the phone is assuming the modded app is an entirely new program and allows the process to occur. This is why the modded one works and the 1.1 won't since the files it needs are the wrong version.

The only option of really have is to mod the actual program to look for different filenames, but without the source code to that app, that isn't going to happen.

Basically you need to have version 1.1 use the default files, and with the modded 1.0 you need to tell the software to "look" for the updated filenames (just don't forget to rename the actual files too).

Short of all that, as far as I know your SOL.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wzyboy:
Great thanks to your reply. But...

Android uses .apk files to install and run the application. When installing an apk file, the package installer just copys the apk file to /data/app directory and "register" the program in the system. The apk itself will not be "extracted" or anything else. That is to say, an apk file can be installed, and also can be run.

On the other hand, the apk will generate some files in /data/data directory when running. I am considering that it was these file that made the modded version FCs. I will try to look into these files to see will this works...

English is my second language, hoping that I did not made many grammar misktaks... :-P
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cowboyaryk:
+1 on this topic. It's been a year and a half since the last reply and I've done a bit of searching online to find no answers. I anyone have some feedback on this? I'd ultimately like to use this to install two Google voice applications. I actually have an app from a blacked out version with a different icon. But if I install it it will overwrite the original Google voice app

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbsrailfan:
I'd also like to know if that's possible. Even if it were possible, and an updated version of helloworld is relaeased (Say, HelloWorld v1.2), which version would it replace? Would it replace the (original) HelloWorld 1.1 or the (modded)HelloWorld 1.0?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambstone:
Yes. Titanium backup. Profiles. These are the keywords.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cowboyaryk:
any idea how i would use TB and "profiles" to do it? sounds like you know from experience
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cowboyaryk:
thanks cheif i'm not the one who posted this almost two years ago
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dstruct2k:
It would replace the only legitimate version found, the unmodded one. The point of modding the APK is to make Android see it as a completely different app, and not think of one as an update to the other.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cowboyaryk:
do how do you mod the apk? change the filename? i'm sure theres more to it than that

I have a copy of the old ifunny app and want both the new and the old, I would also like to run two versions of the same game (one with a nodded apk for unlimited coins and etc and one stock) I wouldn't mind if they shared data but if there's a way to make it where the asks do not share days that would be cool too.

Possible solution

Hi there,

While searching for a solution I found this thread and as it is one of the first results in google I thought to share what I found (didn't try yet) :

http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/19935/how-to-keep-two-versions-of-an-app-installed

It's first answer has a guide how to run two versions of same app throigh modifying onee of them with apktool.

Hi

I would also like to do this for Google earth app I want to have both version 7.1.3 and 8.0.1 because the earlier version has more features but the latest looks more beautiful so I read the instructions from that link but it is way too complicated for a noob user like me plus judging from the last message it seems it hasn't been resolved so isn't there an app or xposed mod that does this automatically ?
[Nexus S Accessories] AllGamer:
so for the short little while, in the span of 5 minutes, i've been trying to gauge the Voltage capacity of the stock battery when at 100%

it has jumped from:

4.118 V

4.162 V

4.123 V

4.166 V

4.170 V

and then back down again...

4.170 V

Can some one confirm how much battery we get when the battery is fully charged at 100%?

i was trying to compare the stock vs the extended battery 4.173 V Li-Ion 1850 mAh

which sits very stable at 4.173 V

info from BatteryWatch App, also Battery Indicator Pro
[Nexus S Accessories] IDtheTarget:
Sorry, I don't have the link handy, but somebody else on the board posted a detailed explanation as to why that is. It has to do with the way Lithium Ion Polymer batteries work. If they're at 100%, the cathode (or anode, I forget which) corrodes and the battery goes bad much more quickly. So our phone is designed to charge up to 100%, then stop charging. It will let the battery get down to somewhere in the 90's, then start charging again. It lengthens the life of the battery.

If you desperately need the 100%, you can turn off the phone, un-plug and then re-plug the phone into power. Then it will charge back up to 100%.

What I do if I'm going to be away from power for awhile is bring along an external battery pack. I bought a decent one from Best Buy for $50, and it's done a good job. I just ordered an 11,000mAH external battery (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ZBZ64Q/ref=oss_product) and a double-A charger (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003M9Z5F6/ref=oss_product). That should do me when I'll be away from a plug for awhile... ;)
[Nexus S Accessories] sinatosk:
thanks for that... we don't have the 11000 mah in the UK. Ordered myself a 5000 though :p... neat little thing

Hello colleagues,

I have a question for you..

What are the chances that anyone could write an emulator that would allow us to run WinMo on Android ? or maybe there is already such an application..

I know that the android is a better system, but it needs to run some applications which only work on WinMo. eg AutoMapa Navigation.

I kindly ask you not to write about other programs to Navigation on Android, I know that there are any

can anyone help?

:)

Trying to find somebody to supply a unlock code for my GT540 who is legitimate.

Please don't recommend anyone unless you have posted at least 5 times (As I've seen new members recommending services far too often who are the owner of the scams!)

Tried mobile-unlock-codes.co.uk, they gave me 2 codes, neither worked. They now said that they will refund within 5 days (nothing yet after 2 days).

Also tried e-unlocks member on eBay after recommendations from MoDaCo users but I haven't heard back from them after 25 hours :mad:

[EDIT] - e-unlocks got back to me after 30 hours (to be fair they say can take 48 hours max) with the correct unlock code, I'm now unlocked!

Nice! Was your version earlier than 9.18?

If anyone has more, please share!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] puresnow:
yea everything is broken for me too
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] kanttii:
For those who can not open :)

I repacked it as a zip, instead of 7z because your unarchivers do not yet support LZMA2 properly - download newest 7-Zip or another which supports it. First post updated, download it as zip from there. I'm uploading it right now so it wouldn't be accessible for 20 mins (you'll get a zero-byte file).

IZARC can "unzip" just about every file type out there - ISO, RAR, 7z, ZIP, etc.

Kanti, sent you a PM with some ringtones you are missing.

Im personally going to go thru your collection and strip out the dupes (no need to have both an mp3 and an ogg version - following Google's footsteps, all the mp3s will be converted to ogg for my personal collection).

This way I might be able to fit these into the partition where ringtones go...

Just use the second "old" link in his post - it's dropbox and works.

---------- Post added at 11:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 AM ----------

While it works it looks like I might be wrong on that - if you come across the new collection let me know LOL :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] kanttii:
Ahh, just a few weeks ago they promised the files will never be deleted, and that the service will be reliable and stay online! And now what, they got scared of the megaupload scene and went with absolute stop. People can't even get refunds. Other file sharing serviser have done it too, like filrserve...

Anyways, I am pushing them to multiupload but it takes time.

And yeah, new stuff coming tomorrow! Got my hands on MIUI 4, Sidekick, some HTC and LG and Sony Ericsson plus a few tablets' ROMs that had new audio files, so I will add them to this collection!

As a side note on why I chose filesonic..it seemed good and reliable and most importantly they didn't have a bandwidth limit - my dropbox was terminated earlier because this one package was downloaded 100 times more than dropbox allows :D

Thanks!

Was looking for the Droid notification I used on my Moto Droid 2 Global to put on my iPhone. Found this, but it seems the file sharing site it's posted on is afraid of what happened to megaupload.

That's the old one, sorry. I'm uploading a new one with lots of new stuff to MultiUpload right now to be sure the file stays online! Filesonic promised a few weeks ago that they have no bandwith limit for files and that they will be online for years. Well, we see what happened...
