All you can do without a PC (on your phone) is light themeing

Requirement:

* Rooted Android phone
* Root explorer (like ROM Toolbox lite)
* Zip Signer

Procedure:

* Go to the desired apk and rename it from "apkname.apk" to "apkname.apk.zip" using root explorer (apkname is the name of your application e.g. hovatekmobile.apk->hovatekmobile.apk.zip)
* Extract zip using root explorer and you will get a folder with the extracted files inside
* Go to the extracted folder and change the files you want 
* Be sure to rename the files with the original name 
* Once you're finished replacing the files go back until you see a folder called meta-inf,res,lib,assets etc and press menu button,select all the items and zip all the files,rename the zip into apkname.apk
* Navigate to sdcard/speedsoftware/zip and you will see your zipped file,now rename it from apkname.apk.zip to apkname.apk
* Try to install your modded apk, if it doesn't install open zipsigner and as input file select your modded apk,as output file re-select your modded apk (rename it into signedapkname.apk if you want) then tap on the box to the bottom called "sign the file"
* Once signed install your modded apk using any file manager

You can use apktool.apk(the mobile version) by a chinese fellow. But you need a serious amount of data to download the utilities(about >100mb) and also you need the knowledge of smali to edit the apk.
Though i have the app but i've never tried it!!!

Note:- Editing/reverse engineering apps is an illegal thing ..., You wont be happy to spend your time and effort to make an app but found out that someone had it.
