Basically, you can rename your classes and packages as you want to. What you need to keep intact is the interface package, i.e. com.sonyericsson.extras.liveview.IPluginServiceCallbackV1/ IPluginService
And you need to keep track of your naming of the intents in the manifest and res/values/strings.xml. Manifest: application->service->intent-filter->action->name needs to correspond to res/values/strings.xml->intent_service Manifest: application->application->intent-filter->action->name needs to correspon to res/values/strings.xml->intent_preferences Renaming the other packages and names also need to be defined correctly in the manifest. Easiest way to get that right is to check the current manifest setup of the template-project or the other examples, and change the manifest accordingly. Some things will hopefully be corrected for you by the built-in functionality of your IDE, e.g. Eclipse.
