Parallel Space
This is the most famous service for the parallel use of multiple accounts. It allows you to create duplicates of already installed applications, which will be accessed through the Parallel Space menu. An additional desktop shortcut can be created manually.
Clones can be highlighted using different interface themes to avoid confusion. The option is relevant for Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook Messenger. Some clones will require additional installation of the 64-bit version of the service directly from the application.

App cloning can come in handy in situations where you use multiple accounts for the same service. In this case, you can get rid of the need to alternately change accounts, and use two versions of the same application for different purposes. True, their number is limited to two - unfortunately, it will not be possible to create more clones.

Once the cloning process is complete, the applications will appear in the main Dual Space window. From here you can drag them to the desktop (Create shortcut item).
Some users want to install two identical applications , for example, when they need to maintain two pages on social networks or run a game with different settings. Android operating system do not allow you to implement the task in question, although Xiaomi’s MIUI shell has such a function.
How to use Dual Space?
The first step is to launch Dual Space. After opening the utility, a small window will appear with a button in the video plus (add). When you click on it, a window will open with applications installed on your phone that can be cloned.
To clone, you need to mark in this list those applications of which you want to obtain copies.
Sometimes a warning appears. The developers of the utility note that the cloned application may work with errors or simply not start. A reminder is provided about the impossibility of copying system programs associated with Google accounts. For example, the restriction applies to Google Maps and YouTube.
Once the cloning process is complete, the applications will appear in the main Dual Space window. From here you can drag them to the desktop (Create shortcut item).
As a result, the icons of application copies will differ from the originals:
You can create a copy of almost any application thanks to Dual Space. The undoubted advantage of the utility is its simple interface. Also, before the procedure you will not need to obtain administrator rights. The only limitation is the inability to clone system programs associated with Google accounts. Otherwise, the considered method allows you to run two versions of the game on your phone or log in under different pages in social network clients.
To install two (or more) identical applications on one phone, you need to change the package value in the AndroidManifest.xml file located inside the apk build. For example, we have:
To install two (or more) identical applications on one phone, you need to change the package value in the AndroidManifest.xml file located inside the apk build. For example, we have:
In order to install this application again, you need to do something like the following:
After such a change, the newly compiled apk file will have to be signed with a certificate. Information on how to unpack, pack and sign apk files can be found in any search engine for SmartApkTool. Here is the link to the application: v.2.2 (unpack the contents of the archive into an empty directory). But here is a more correct way to work with apk files: Using apktool.
Advice.
Install one of the copies unmodified to know about updates in the Market.
Below the cut some problems encountered are described, and there is also an Order Table.
POSSIBLE PROBLEMS
Problem 1
If the apktool.yml file is not created next to AndroidManifest.xml, then find the apktoolframework folder in the user’s home directory and delete the 1.apk file from it. (Advice from 4pda.ru, thanks to Alex Boroda.)
Problem 2
Sometimes simply changing the package name doesn't help. Most often this happens in cases where relative paths to various activities are specified in the AndroidManifest.xml file. For example:
In such a situation, you need to specify the full path to all activities, that is:
Please note that you do not need to enter a new package name (that is, in our case, not ru.e_num.test ), but the real path to the activity in the smali directory of the unpacked apk file. Naturally, in the general case, the path coincides with the old package name (in our case it is ru.e_num ).
Problem 3
If there is a provider tag in the AndroidManifest.xml file, then in its authorities attribute you also need to add the symbols that we used as an addition to the package parameter (in our case, this is .test ). For example, it was:
android:authorities = "com.someapp.android" android:name = "com.someapp.android" >
android:authorities = "com.someapp.android.test" android:name = "com.someapp.android" >
As in Problem 2, the value of the name attribute does not need to be changed.
Order table
I'm taking orders again! If you have read the instructions, but have any difficulties with them, write a link to the application in the comments. It is necessary! I won’t search for “Viber” or “clash of clans”. I make one copy for free. I don’t guarantee the result - test it. If you need more copies, or have any non-standard requests, write back, we’ll come to an agreement. If you want to give back with a pint of beer and one copy, the wallets are here.
Despite all the richness of functions, Android devices have many limitations. For example, you can use multiple Google accounts, but only one Facebook or Instagram account.
Despite all the richness of functions, Android devices have many limitations. For example, you can use multiple Google accounts, but only one Facebook or Instagram account.
On the one hand, this is correct, but there are many exceptions. For example, when in addition to your personal page there are several more, for example, companies, or you have created an account for your pet and are adding on its behalf.
It's quite easy to get around the restriction.
Install the 2Face – Multi Accounts application or, as an alternative, AppClone – Multi Account. Both applications have almost identical functionality, but they work differently depending on the gadget model and OS version.
In the main menu of the program, click on the Facebook icon to create a copy of the application. Its shortcut will automatically appear on your desktop. A Facebook messenger clone will be created automatically. Click on the "+" sign in the lower right corner to create copies of other applications.
Just launch a copy of the application, enter your login and password details and use it.
Warning: This method does not work perfectly. The program may freeze and application clones may not work. In particular, this picture is typical for Android 7.0-7.1. Also, some applications may complain about the absence of a Google account on the device and become unstable.
Attention! Not all applications can be cloned, this applies to both the first and second methods!
- After decompiling the application, go to its folder;
- Open the file AndroidManifest.xml with Notepad++, which is located in the root of the folder;
- Find the word in the second line package after which comes "internal file name";
- Select “internal file name” , open Search -> Find in files , set the search area at the bottom;
- Change "internal file name" to your option by clicking on "Replace in files";
- Go to the RES folder;
- Open the folder VALUES and VALUES-RU (if localized);
- In the STRINGS.XML in the app_name field , change the name to your own option:
- We compile, sign the application and install;
- Now you have two identical applications. Congratulations, you now know how to create an APK clone app!
This concludes the lesson on editing apk!
Do you still have additional questions? Ask them in the comments, tell us what worked for you or vice versa!
That's all! Stay with the Android +1 , it will be even more interesting! Read more articles and instructions in the section Articles and Android Hacks .
It is important to note that some manufacturers have begun to implement application cloning functionality into the firmware. An example is MIUI from Xiaomi. This is great because you don't need to install third-party programs to clone apps. But we’ll talk about Xiaomi later, and first we’ll talk about how to clone an application if this functionality is not supported by the firmware. Please note that root rights are not required.
MoChat
When you first launch MoChat, you will be prompted to add accounts for only a few popular applications, but after the start window you will be able to access the full list. For each clone, you can place an icon on your desktop, which will be highlighted with a purple corner. This will help you avoid getting confused.
The service allows you to use more than three accounts at the same time and quickly switch between them. MoChat is fast enough and not visually overloaded, but the list of applications supported for cloning is still somewhat smaller than its counterparts.

How to install two Viber or VKontakte on one Android
How to install two Viber or VKontakte on one Android . If you have a couple of Viber, VKontakte, WhatsApp, Facebook accounts and want to use them simultaneously on Android, we will help you! Read more about how to do this later in this article!
How to install 2 identical applications on Android?
Surely you know that it is impossible to install two Vibers on one Android phone, and therefore it is impossible to create a second account. This also applies to other popular instant messengers or social networks. But not everything is as bad as you might think at first glance!
In fact, you can create clone applications that will work in parallel with the original ones + plus we will tell you a couple more non-obvious (unusual) ways to install 2 identical applications on one Android device.
Create a clone of an application on any Android
In the Google Play store you can find quite interesting applications that allow you to create a clone. One of the best options for creating duplicate applications, in our opinion, is Parallel Space－Multi Accounts.
Have you downloaded and installed the application? Now let's figure out how to add another Viber application or any other using 2Accounts:
1. After launching, you will be asked to create a clone of one of the popular applications; if what you need is not there, then select “add more” and select the necessary ones
2. After you have selected the applications, click the “ Enable ” button, after which the process of creating a clone will begin
3. When everything is ready, the Parallel Space－Multi Accounts interface will display the icons of the created applications, you can launch them from here, or create shortcuts on the Android desktop
4. To do this, make a long tap on the clone application and select “ Desktop Icons ”
Creating a clone of an application on Xiaomi
Are you the owner of a Xiaomi smartphone or tablet? Then you do not need to install any applications to create clones, everything you need is already in your Xiaomi.
1. Go to the Android Settings Dual Apps section
2. Select those applications for which you want to create a duplicate
The clone application has been created!
Creating a second user on Android
A fairly simple way to install two identical applications on your Android. In all modern Android you can create a user, so you can install Viber, WhatsApp and others there again.
1. Go to the Android Settings
2. Find the section:
1. In Xiaomi - “ Second Space ” and “ Enable Second Space ”
2. In other Androids - “ Users and accounts ” and “ Add user ”
Log in as a new user and install Viber, WhatsApp, VK and other applications that you need. The only downside is that messages will not arrive instantly if you are under another user. On the other hand, this can be a plus, since you have a hidden user and you will see messages when you need it. Plus, as a new user you can create more clone applications.

GO Multiple
This is a very simple, but far from the fastest cloning service. In terms of application support, it is omnivorous: it allows you to work with almost any game and program. However, you can only create one additional account. Also among the disadvantages is the abundance of advertising, which occupies most of the interface of the main window.
Banners and pop-up videos are removed using a paid subscription or using coins that can be won in the built-in slot machine.

Multiple Accounts
Another simple service with the ability to add only one additional account for each installed application. It works quickly and without additional downloads. There is practically no advertising, which is a big plus compared to its more famous analogues.
The settings are quite sparse, but to some extent this is even an advantage - there is nothing superfluous in the application. The only minor option is the task manager, which allows you to quickly unload applications from RAM.

App Cloner
In this application, clones work in parallel and completely independently of the original games and programs. They are not automatically updated, which means that, if necessary, you can save the old version of the application and use it along with the new one.
For clones, detailed icon settings are available with the ability to change the color, rotate it, or add an icon on top. The Premium version provides options for data protection with a password, incognito mode and a ban on the use of mobile networks for duplicate applications.

Managing multiple accounts within applications
Some apps come pre-installed with multiple account management. One good example is Google's GMail. The mail client has an authorization function in several mailboxes at once. This can be done at any time by simply sliding the side curtain.
Twitter (iOS, Android) also provides this feature. On an iOS device, open the Me tab, tap the Accounts icon (the icon with two portraits), then select More options and Create a new account. On Android, tap your avatar, click the down arrow at the top of the menu, and select Add an existing account. The program has the ability to quickly switch between accounts.
Another application with multi-accounts can be called Instagram (iOS, Android). Go to your profile page, tap the button (three dots on Android, gear icon on iOS) and select “Add Account.” You can add up to five different accounts.
