Change app name

[Cryceratops]

I'm wondering if there's a practical way, or any at all to change the name of an app in the app drawer (not the home screen). I tried to edit the Manifest.xml file but the string I was looking for wasn't in there. Thanks.

Juste use Nova Launcher or KKLauncher...

As I stated, launchers only allow you to change the shortcut name (not the app in the drawer).

How about hiding app in launcher, and creating a folder with the app renamed to whatever you want?

Apart from using the launcher, the only other way I could think of would be to decompile the apk with apktool and then you can edit the app name string. It's inside /res/value/string.xml

Also, I'm using kklauncher and it does allow me to change the app name in app drawer

Thanks, this is what I ended up doing, decompiling and editing it. Works great
