4. Find the desired images and edit but do NOT remove any images. There may be a manifest which would require the files by name to be in the .apk package.

5. Once complete, Repackage everything back into a .zip

6. Change the extension of the .zip back to .apk and rename the .apk the name of the original.

7. Resign it.

8. Use the previously explained method to transfer it to your phone.

Note: Remember that you will have to remove the original from your phone or the installation will fail citing it already exist. Good luck!

Just to be clear, I get the .apk on my computer by connecting my phone to it and copying that file right?
