Change Spotify apk name

Question

I'm trying to change the name of the apk of spotify, but show me many dependencies to make this...

First I follow this manual: Change Package Names of APKs

1. On the first step, I found on

in manifest.xml

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.spotify.music" platformBuildVersionCode="24" platformBuildVersionName="7.0">

I modified by com.spotify.jair

3. On smali I modified the name of the folder smali/com/spotify/music to Smali/com/spotify/jair
4. Search Lcom/spotify/music and replace with Lcom/spotify/jair inside smali folder

After that, when I tried to install and the error:

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION: Package com.spotify.jair attemptin
g to redeclare permission com.spotify.music.permission.SECURED_BROADCAST already
 owned by com.spotify.music]

I modified all the com.spotify.music, inside AndroidManifest.xml to com.spotify.jair and the error is:

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_CONFLICTING_PROVIDER: Package couldn't be installed in /
data/app/com.spotify.jair-1: Can't install because provider name com.spotify.mob
ile.android.mediaapi (in package com.spotify.jair) is already used by com.spotif
y.music]

So inside: res\values\ I found <string name="media_provider_authority">com.spotify.mobile.android.mediaapi</string> I modified: <string name="media_provider_authority">com.spotify.mobile.android.mediaapis</string>

And the error is:

6280 KB/s (35226422 bytes in 5.477s) Success

But the app does not open, and close inspected. Can anybody help me on the debug why the app is closing, Is there are a tool to debug why the app is closing?

Thanks!

I can't comment, the app is crashing, you need to take a logcat to see why adb logcat > l0g.txt Open Spotify Unplug phone And then upload that to paste bin
