Go Contacts theme help

I need help creating a theme for Go Contacts. I have all of the .png's ready to go but after I replace all of the original .png's and pack it into the .zip and then into the .apk and put it on the phone I go to instal it. But every time after trail and error it says "Application not installed". I have gone through each and every .png to see if I have made an error and I believe I haven't. Any idea to what I could be doing wrong?
Same problem here, does anyone know the answer?
EDIT:
masonspisz12, did you use apk manager?
Basically I decompile the apk, swap images, compile apk then sign it.
Other things to do before compiling:
To change the name, its in res/values/strings.xml
Version number is in AndroidManifest.xml
Till this part the theme will still install over whatever theme you based it on.
To make it it's own, you need to change the package name.
The package name can be found in AndroidManifest.xml (package="blah.blahblah.something")
But changing that is not enough.
Go into the smali folder, right to the deepest folder.
There change the package name too.
Then change the folder structure names in the smali folder.
I got the hints for package name stuffs from the following posts:

Go Contacts theme .zip format
Hey Guys! I wasn't sure if I should ask but I hoped you might not mind. I really need a go contacts theme file in .zip format instead of .apk. I have searched everywhere to no avail. I saw your posts and thought maybe you may have one you're willing to share? If not I understand! Thank you! Email: [email protected]

Add new themed applications in an apk theme

Hi
I modified Kroz's Asul theme (OK) but now I'd like to add new themed apps like Chrome to start with an example.
I extract the apk file on my PC then I modify the .png and .9.png files.
I copy/paste the files in the right directories.
But now it seems that I have to create an .xml file in res/xml folder:
1/ How to know which name I have to use for the new .xml file?
2/ Which redirections I have to enter to apply the themed pictures?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT
Answers:
1/ How to know which name I have to use for the new .xml file? Check "package" in AndroidManifest.xml of themed app
2/ Which redirections I have to enter to apply the themed pictures? one line for each same file nam without extension. Example: one line for drawable folders and one other for mipmap folders.

how to change app version name in AndroidManifest.xml

hi all
I want to change versionName but after recompile the app don't show in the phone ,and if I don't rename it work . Why ???
android:versionName="7.9.A.0.1_sinhhoa"
to android:versionName="7.9.A.0.1"
thanks
P/S : after many tried I had found the problem apk wasn't sign properly . I always copy META-INF folder from original apk to modded apk so it won't work.
The signature is somehow linked to manifest more than to the apk itself. If you change anything in apk except manifest, you cannot install it either way, except as system app. But if you change something in manifest, you cannot install it even as system app.
You can disable signature check or resign the rom or some system apps can be signed with different signature.

Guide: Use iFont to add custom font

If you have ever wanted to use a custom font on your phone and have tried to change the font using iFont you will know the resulting theme file generated by iFont doesn't work. Fortunately, there is a simple fix.
1. Use iFont to create a theme file containing your desired custom font.
2. This theme file is stored under /storage/Huawei/Themes and will have a name similar to "iFont-123456789.hwt".
3. Copy this file to your PC, and change the file extention to .zip.
4. Using 7-Zip or similar extract the fonts folder and open it.
5. You will see the folder contains two font files one called "Roboto-Regular" and the other called "Roboto-Bold".
6. Both of these files contain a copy of your desired font.
7. Change the name of one of these files to "DroidSansChinese".
8. Replace the fonts folder in your zip file with your newly modified fonts folder.
9. It's important that your modified fonts folder contains two font files (each with a different name) and the "pic_font_default" file.
10. Change the zip file extension back to "hwt" and copy it back to your phone replacing the original.
You can then apply the font by changing the text style using your phones Themes app.
