[TOOL] CloneMyApp - Android APK Cloner

[lemagedurage]

I don't like having multiple apps on my home screen, I often search and open apps from the app drawer, and having PWA support would make my home screen smarter as it would appear in the app drawer. (Sorry for my situation)

Your code is great, but I forgot that there are people who abuse that code. I have to think about those people, too. That's too bad, because your code is great.

Fair point, I added PWA to the website

Thanks! But it seems to only work on desktop. At least it did not work on my smart phone.

It works on my phone. What goes wrong? Uploading? Does it show an error? Does the APK not install?

I am sorry! I am sorry for misleading you by not replying correctly. When I said it was stuck, I meant the PWA.

Okay, do mind that I'm not showing the pop up to install. But you can use the three dots and press install to install the PWA. If that doesn't work, try to clear cache of your browser app.

Normally, when the PWA is working, you see the "Install app" message, but on this site, you see the "Add to Home screen" message.
I have tried clearing the browser cache, downgrading, and even rebooting to no avail.

Try "Add to home screen", it should still install as PWA

This is a brilliant way to clone app! Thank you for sharing with us!

I do have a small problem. I can’t give it a custom name. Even though I fill in the name that I want for my clone app in the ‘App Name’ field, the apk still installs it as the original app name. Which is confusing since I can’t tell the original apart from the clone. Did I miss a step?

It tries to find where the original name is stored, and changes that. This could go wrong for some apps. If you share which app you're trying to clone I could take a look when I have time.

It’s this app:

ComicScreen - PDF, ComicReader - Apps on Google Play

File management and show images, comics and pictures in compressed cbr, pdf file

play.google.com

I fixed some app renaming bugs, can you try if it works?

If you have APKTool, wouldnt cloning an app be as simple as editing it's basic values which allows you to change the package name, signature etc. Why the need for this extra tool and the process of de compiling?

I actually made the website because the process wasn't that simple with apktool, and just changing the package name references would leave me with more permission related errors, and it was a bit of a chore to fix a bug, recompile, install, and check whether it works. So I figured, why not automate the process and share it with the world?

Great Initiative @lemagedurage!

I am using your tool for this school bus tracking app (long story short, need to track 2 transport buses for diff children as the app publisher is not supporting multiple tracking features).

But running the cloned app does not launch for me, ah bummer!! Can you help check once please?

App Link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vts.gpsdeskconsumer&hl=en_US.

Thanks!

I tried it with an apk from https://apkcombo.com/gpsdesk-track/com.vts.gpsdeskconsumer/download/apk

However, I managed to clone it twice, have the app installed 3 times, and I could open the app and get to the login screen with each of them. Maybe try again, otherwise it's probably a problem that CloneMyApp can't help with.

One idea: it's possible that the apk you tried to clone is made for the wrong architecture. If this is the case, the original app, before using CloneMyApp, would already fail to open on your phone.
