Is it possible to refactor a package without mangling the AndroidManifest XML?
If you want Refactor your application name try -
Right click on your project -> Android Tools -> Rename App Package is the best way to refactor your app package name.
Hope this is complete help.
Update -
IF you want to update the package name, then -
Right click on package -> Refactor -> Rename -> Enter an updated name for your package.
In the above steps, you can rename your package without affecting the source code and classes.

@krikara, I think so. I met the problem before and found this url on stackoverflow. Android project is not the same as regular Java project. After using Android Tools -> Rename Application Package menu, I refactor the java package. Project or src cleanup may be required (right click on src dir-> soruces-> clean up ...).
