Shot in the dark, could this also be used to alter the version number of apks, so like if I want an app to say "1.38.1" instead of "1.37", could I do that?

Hi there, before all, thanks for this tutorial; in second place, i’ve searched in some forums but i don’t found answer to my question:

How to change the SD/Shared storage folder for an app?

*I’ve changed the package name (by this tuto) and the (i’m go to call they App_X & App_Y) App_Y can be installed at the same time with App_X; but:

App_X save external data to SD (or Shared)/App_X
Change Package Name to App_Y
App_Y is still saving external data to SD (or Shared)/App_X :worried:


I want to separate the folder for an app at once, example:

App_X save external data to SD (or Shared)/App_X
Change Package Name to App_Y
App_Y save external data to SD (or Shared)/App_Y

Thanks in advance

I'm trying to make some minor custom changes to Kodi, rename the package and rebuild. After having my recompiles fail to install a few times, I tried just decompiling and recompiling with zero changes... and installation still failed.
I'm using APKEasyTool which is just a GUI frontend for apktool 2.4.1. I'm open to suggestions what I could be doing wrong.

Edit: Could it have something to do with...

packageInfo:
forcedPackageId: '127'
renameManifestPackage: null

I just replaced null with the new package name and kept going, but I wouldn't think that would affect the decompile/recompile test... unless it means the APKTool has issues with the source.

I have the same problem. None of the solutions I found work.
Every time I get "App not installed"
