Decompile the framework-res.apk and then download "Notepad ++" then open the xml with notepad ++ and you will be able to edit it from there

decompile the apk using apktools. open the xml file with notepad++ and edit.
then recompile using apktools and push it via adb to your phone.
Before edit xml you should go and visit

Take a tour

Did you open the boot.xml in notepad++ ?
it'll work with any text editor.
i think, notepad++ is cross-platform so preferred?

Notepad++ is made for xml editing an such, ive used windows notepad program and it doesnt do the editing process any justice. Notepad++ has nice features that make things so simple. Once I found out about it I never used anything again. Plus sometimes certain xml wont open in just any text editor , sometimes windows notepad wont display the xml correctly .. With notepad++ you wont have any worries ever again
thanks for helping me guys.........

I dont thing windows notepad opens xml files properly, but isnt there a built in xml editor in windows 7? Notepad++ is surely better

Regular notepad will edit decompiled xml's for me on windows7 but indeed notepad++ is without a doubt the best xml editor ive found

Hello, I want to decompile my framework-res apk so I can possibly add a battery that displays percentages. Is there any program out that will let me do this?

Your looking for Smali/BakSmali.
No offense intended here, but the fact that you are asking tells me that you are going to need a lot of research in doing this. It's not necessarily decompiled into the most readable source code. But it's that way with most decompiling, and you probably realize that.
Also, since we don't have source code for HoneyComb, the current Smali/Baksmali implementation doesn't work well/at all for some files.
Good Luck.

Thank you, I have previously viewed that thread. There aren't really any clear cut instructions on setting it up properly. Are you able to edit the XML files contained in the drawable folder? That is all I'm interested in. I can't seem to successfully decompile the framework-res apk. Thanks again
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
I will offer to help you out.
1. Install latest SDK from http://Developer.google.com & Eclipse.
2. Search for apktool and unzip files into the SDK folder under platform_a DB
3. Buddy fix apktool with attached files. You will need to rename these files to Apktool, etc..
4. Copy framework-res.apk, systemui.apk, settings.apk, and launcher2.apk from \system + copy the odex
5. Run apktool d framework-res.apk (do this for each apk)
6. Look in the Res/drawing folders for images to mod.
Now you have the .9.png files with marks & the decompiled XML for reference.
Use Photoshop to modify the files.
Use draw9patch to compile any .9.png files
This is really important. Use 7zip or any other zip app that allows you to open and view an apk as a zip without actually unzipping it. Just copy the new photo files in and add them to an update.zip (you can download this from XDA Xoom Development thread) or use a DB to push the updated files to the Xoom.
Theaming is a subject but that's the basics. I can't upload files for newapktools.zip right now but will edit this when I get home later. Alternativly, maybe someone can post the patched up Xoom compatible apktool files. They are also in XDA theaming thread if you search.

Yes I can you need Java JDK installed:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Eventually you will need Eclipse and I use Gimp because its free and doesn't break any .png files.

Says something about 'declared here is not defined' at the end of every line
Whatever's happening I'm getting errors on everything no matter what I try and I'm following the instructions.
Try compiling it ignoring the error messages then from the compiled apk, extract the files you modified including png and xml files, then from the original apk open it with winrar and paste the files you extracted previously.

Try extracting framework again, follow this

Since it is png you no need to decompile or recompile just use 7 zip or winrar and replace it. Make sure that the png you are replacing have same resolution and name

Use winrar and take out the file you want, edit it and drop it back in the same place you got it, when it promotes you,replace it

winrar or 7zip?? , what are in drawable ldpi actually? it's the actual file or new??
Use Winrar or 7zip it doesn't matters.
Ldpi folder contains image for low device resolution.
If you replaced nothing in this folder then it's the actual file but you should replace your image in the correct folder according to your screen resolution.

plus any other framework eg tw-framework
Use Advanced APK Tools for decompiling the APK files and you can also use the Attached Dex Editor to edit classes.dex files.....
Advanced APK tools is specially made for Xperia devicex. (use your "framework-res.apk" to install firmware in Advanced APK Tools)
(Drag and drop classes.dex in "Quick-Baksmali.cmd" to decompile and drag and drop the output folder is "Quick-Smali.cmd" to recompile.

First decompile a android app with apktool,after that u can easily edit any .xml file with notepad++ without any language problem.
If u extract an app.apk with winrar,7zip...etc or any android app like esfile explorer,zarchiver....etc then u can't edit .XML file & u face language problem.
So, decompile apk with apktool & then edit .XML files.
How to decompile apk, just Google it.
Thanks:
Yes! THANKS DUDE
