How can I change an apk's internal name?

I have an apk file that I did not create, which has the internal name com.android.gallery3d. However, It is not the stock app, but a modified version (2160p Player) with subtitle support, among other things. How can I change the internal name so that it is not com.android.gallery3d? It needs to be different because I can't install it because it conflicts with the existing system app. Do I need to edit the manifest and resign the apk? How do I do this? I have access to Windows and Ubuntu-based Linux.

Unpack, change, repack and resign. Use apktool or a similar tool.
