V1.4 app update to self hosted app - problem

I have a popular paid app that was done on 1.4, I just rebuilt it in my self hosted server. The control panel won't allow me to match the package name because the auto generated package name of the 1.4 app has special characters and caps. How can I force my self hosted panel to take the package name, or can I? Is there another way to do this? Grey matter not a lot of help tonight. Tim

Hi Wolf, I believe you can just change the package name in Eclipse (or Xcode?)before uploading the.apk to the Market? maybe i'm not following?

The package name exists everywhere; the manifest, references in almost every sub file, etc. So how much or how little do I change? How can I do it without disabling the app ? This is probably easier than I am making it.

Thanks for the replies guys. I've followed the above tutorial, four times actually, and can't get it to work. It looks like there may be error in the instructions, a bit of the logic towards the end doesn't follow. Has anyone used it successfully? Either something is a bit off or I'm doing something wrong. As usual, it's probably me. Tim

I think I got it working. The tutorial above may work for 2.0, but not self hosted. Using what I learned going through the procedures in that tutorial, I modified them somewhat and I have a working app with the right package name. Thanks for the heads up guys. Tim
