Changing the package name

Question

I planned to change the package name through smali(reverse)

when I open up apktool.yml, I saw this

forced-package-id: \'127\'

Answer 1

To my knowledge there are no fast ways to change the package name. You have to change the package="com.mycompany.myapp" in Manifest.xml and then manually replace all the package name occurrences in smali files (and folders). Finally edit apktool.yml replacing the old package name, with your new package name.
