Change Android App Name

Guys
Anyone know how to change the app name that is displayed on the Android springboard?

Ive tried everything I can think of. Renaming the label name in AndroidManifest.xml, tiapp.xml etc but nothing works.

Surely there is a way to achieve this?
regards
Andy

  • copy your AndroidManifest.xml from AppName/build/andoid folder after running the application, now make folder platform and android folder in your application in titanium studio like AppName/platform/android. Now paste your AndroidManifest.xml in android folder, now search for android:label tag in it and change its value to whatever you want. Now run the application and you can see the changed application name on the Android springboard.

  • You can change the file called manifest in root of you project, inside of this file you will found this "#appname: MyAppName" just change this line.
