This guide will show you how to change the information(like android version and build number) that is shown in your phone's 'About' menu.
First you need a rooted phone and create a nandroid backup in case you screw up.
This will not change anything for real! Like if your android version is x and you change it to y, the android version will still be x but will show y.
To change the info
1) Open any file explorer that enables you to change things at root level( eg root browser) and head over to the 'system root' area.
2) There go to the 'system' folder, where you will see a file named build.prop
3) We need to edit that. Open that file and there you will see some code. See the screenshot.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
To change the android version, edit the 'version release' line (see mine is changed to 5.0 . You can do whatever you want) and to change the build number, edit the 'build display Id' line.
4) Reboot and it's done.
(There are a lot of other things to change which I hope you will figure out yourself)
Hit thanks if this was helpful.

Apkm (Apkmanager)
As a lot of features in AndroidSuite2012 were not used by the actual user I decided to release a single tool dedicated for decompiling apk's.
It has the same simple to use GUI as AndroidSuite but with less confusing buttons and a much lighter package.
The check box options are not yet implemented this is a alpha I was working on and decided to pull it from my dropbox and release.
Enjoy! Download below
PS Apktool might need replacing. Tomorrow I will update with the same method for decompiling used in AS2012.

This is normally caused if theres a space in the name of the folder. Make sure its not in a folder with a space in the name. Although I've never seen it say \ANDROID. Could you screen shot the program? And remember you need jre installed

Hey guys,
I just wanted to share a little tip with all of you, who want to add a little launcher icon to your unity launcher. It's very fast and works perfectly for me. Just try it

1. Open any editor you like (I use SciTE)
2. Copy this text into your editor
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Android Studio
Comment=Android Studio
Type=Application
Categories=Development;
Exec=/home/{yourusername}/path/to/android-studio/bin/studio.sh
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true
Icon=/home/{yourusername}/path/to/android-studio/icon.png
Don't forget to change {yourusername} to your acutal user name and path/to/android-studio to the path of the android studio on your pc
3. Save it to .local/share/applications/ (to show .local press CTRL+h) named "androidstudio.desktop"
4. Download this icon and paste it in android-studio/ (you may of course use any other icon you like too!)
5. Open your file explorer and press CTRL+h to show hidden files. Navigate to .local/share/applications/ and take the androidstudio.desktop and drop it in your unity launcher.
6. Click on the icon and start Android Studio
I hope this is useful for you
Alternately, at the beginning screen where it says "new project, import project, configuration...." you could go to configuration/settings (whatever its called) and select "create launcher" i think its much faster than having to make desktop files and blah blah blah
