Most of the guides that I have found are for non HTC phones. I have a few links for you to check out. From what I have read, they are mostly framework-res.apk and android.policy.jar edits.
I have extracted the classes.dex out of the jar and tried to wade my way through all of the .smali files. It looks as if the GlobalActions.smali points to either GlobalActions3 or GlobalActions4.smali for reboot options.
The guides also point to certain edits which need to be made to the framework-res.apk. Mainly strings.xml. They say to then recompile, then decompile the new framework-res.apk and lookup certain hex values in public.xml.I thought I had it figured out, but then I saw that some of the hex codes were 4xxxxxx hex codes, which points to framework-HTC-res.apk. That's kindof where I got stuck because I could not get that apk to successfully decompile.
Looking at the GlobalActions.smali I saw references to com.HTC.resources, so I kinda knew this was to be expected. I seem to be having trouble getting the necessary framework installed through apktool to successfully decompile.
Additionally, I have taken apart quite a few Roms frameworks (Roms that aren't using Sense 5 toolbox or exposed mods) to try to decipher how they applied the necessary changes, yet they are all so different. Some look to have used arrays, others strings. I know the arrays are probably for multilingual options.
Links coming as soon as I get to my pc.

When reading the hex values in the files, the chart below should point you in the right direction:
0x10xxxx is in framework-res.apk
0x20xxxx is in com.htc.resources.apk
0x40xxxx is in framework-htc-res.apk
I too am trying to learn how to do all of this. Please let me know if you figure anything out. It seems to be who you know around here that directly reflects what you know.

Not quite sure what you meant here. An .apk to do what exactly?
Also, if I've helped and you want to show appreciate for my comment, just hit the thanks button, instead of thanking me in your posts. I believe that is the recommended way of doing things around here. Check the forum rules for clarification.

what about for a linux computer are there any tools I can use with that.
Not sure about on Linux, you should be able to find something via Google. There should also be guides on XDA.

Apktool... ApkMultiTool (really just a UI to take command line work out of the equation-not really my style though), Virtuous10 Studios, many more I'm sure I forgot. I have some .bat files for executing necessary commands if your not sure how to use command line.

Not sure that Zarchiver is a tool for Decompiling and Recompiling .apks.
From what I have read about it, it looks more like a File Manager/Archiver.
@ PhoneGeek... for Linux I would have to say that apktool is going to be your best bet. You can find the XDA thread here. And the main page for apktool is here.

That is what I was originally trying to let you know. The one for the HTC MOD is device specific (HTC Desire I believe). I have gone through the .smali files as these guides instructed and noticed a wide variety of variance. If you decide to attempt the instructions per those guides, you do so at your own risk; especially if you have no idea what you are really doing. The Devs around here are labeled that for a reason. Chances are... they really know what they are doing when messing around with files that could deem our phones inoperable.
One bit of advice I will give you before you start messing with the .smali files, is to learn Java, if you don't already, and then head over to the Smali page and read through all of the documentation in their wiki (it will be hard to understand if you don't know Java though). After taking the time to learn these things, when you open up the .smali files you will have a better understanding of what you are actually looking at and how things are structured. For example, when you open one up, you will perhaps see some variance of :
invoke-direct {v0, v1, p0, v2}
Well, what do all of these v's and p's mean - what do they point to?
There are two naming schemes for registers - the normal v naming scheme and the p naming scheme for parameter registers. Confused?
Read the wiki! Confused by the wiki? Learn Java! This is really the best advice that I can give you. By no means am I downing you or questioning your intelligence. I am simply trying to help you by pointing you in the right direction. Spoon-feeding you all of the answers isn't going to help you learn. I am by no means an expert; not even dillusional enough to think that I am- though my wife may disagree!
In addition, when you get to the Smali page, on the Project home tab, there is a link for an IRC chat room and an example of how the entry level "Hello World" app is broken down into .smali.
Hope that I have helped, to at least point you in the right direction. If I have click the Thanks button!
Edit: Here are some links that may be useful in your quest for knowledge of this subject matter:

Hey guyz,
I wanted some help regarding modding apk's. I know that many people have asked the same Questions in the past but my question happens to deal with ADDING code to the original APK without the SOURCE.
Its pretty much the same idea as how WHATSAPP+ (or WHATSAPP PLUS) was modded and how the mods were added into the original apk.
Your efforts in answering this question will be greatly appreciated. I have also searched on google to no avail.
Sincerely,
XxXKINGMAKXxX
Hi bro. Although there are many methods for modding, but best way out is to use apktool. You can search on XDA about how to use apktool.
Hit thanks if i helped you

I have tried APK tool but it doesnt help me much, i get the RESOURCES AND OTHER files in SMALI format and have no clue on how to convert them to java files
I want to make a duplicate apk by using apktool 4.6 for phone.
example wechat.apk to wechat01.apk
And to install both on same device..
PLEASE PROVIDE TUTORIAL FOR DOING IT...
THANKS
I think u can't do it easily just with apktool, you might need modify content in smali files, which is too complicated for me to make it...
Sorry for my bad English...

You need to change the appId in (AndroidManifest.xml) but the consequence of that is that the MainActivity class also needs to be adjusted to match that new id which is not going to be easy unless you have the source code available.
