  • Install LineageOS app with same package name as the stock app

Hi all,

I would like to install APKs from LineageOS with the redesigned AOSP apps (with upgraded to Material You), but it's not possible, because the package names are the same as the stock apps from GrapheneOS.

Is there a way to install these APKs alongside these default apps?
Is it possible to change the package name before installing (maybe with the app "App Manager")?

Thx in advance :)

You can decompile the app and recompile it with apktool, but id just use another app then, because updates would be difficult.

@[deleted] thx for the suggestion.
I tested it with apktool, but after recompiling I get an error during the installation on my phone, because the signature is missing.

If I remember it correctly apktool lets you sign apps. If that doesnt work maybe use an app cloner, dont know if there are open source ones though.
