I created a wonderful app, but I want to rename the "application name" alone... (i.e the name seen by the user on the app icon ) .. ( this isn't package renaming)

How do I do it, without creating a new one ...

In the strings.xml file, there is an element app_name which is used in the AndroidManifest's application element as the app's name. Just change the value of app_name in the strings.xml file to change the name of your app.
