02-06-2010 04:03 PMWell its all located in the apps .apk file. The icon is in the res>drawable-hdpi folder (or similar) and in order to change the name it will be in an .xml file for that .apk. I ve never cared about changing names so I havent ever looked into it so not sure exactly which one..

02-06-2010 05:21 PMFirst of all be careful with mac it has compression issues. You dont need to install it, just replace it. Open command prompt and type this:
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
busybox cp -R /sdcard/name-of-file.apk /apks/destination
reboot -
02-06-2010 05:59 PMDid a search in root explorer, but can't find apps.apk file. Could you help on where it is? Originally Posted by blake2050
