you cant decompile jellybean apks yet..i know you want google search..;)

i think you can edit images from the apks though..

on another note have you tried the jellybean playstore?

i decompiled it but i dont know what to change. what files and lines am i supposed to change? because when i try to install it it says did not install. am i supposed to sign it? if yes what do i type in ics apktool to sign it. and no its the camera app. if i can get the camera app to work then i will try google voice.
 
ok so i got it to install and opens but it just shows a black screen and then force closes
do i need a lib files or change something else?

In general, apks have a minimum sdk level because they use features only in that version or higher.
If you want to use a 4.1 app in 4.0 you have to set the minimum sdk level down to 15 iirc and then implement all the features that don't exist in ics manually
