when I change the value of const-string, the application crashed.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

when I change the value of const-string(the new one has the same length as the 
old one) in smali file, the application crashed(It can be recompile 
successfully by smali). Is there something I need to pay attention?

For example, I change
const-string v1, "abc"
to
const-string v1, "def"

The application can't work normally sometimes.

By the way, are there some tutorials can teach me how to modify smali file?

Just changing a string shouldn't make anything crash in itself. However, the 
application may depend on the value of that string in such a way that an 
unexpected value could make it crash. You just have to debug the crash like you 
would any other java crash.
