Hey guys, i've spent a few hours searching while figuring out these new tools I've downloaded in hopes to modify some basic apk's. After successfully modifying the background image for the pandora widget, my intention's are to now expand the widgets width. To do so I understand I would need to modify the xml file associated to the widget, and this is where my trouble's lie.
From what I've gathered I've been able to decompile the binary xml file to regular xml using AXMLPrinter, after editing it there seems to be no hope in recompiling it to an android freindly xml file.
After a bit of searching i've learned most suggest using apktool to decompile the apk, edit the necessary xml files, and then recompile. From what I understand this is the most appropriate method for what I desire.\
The problem i'm having is that once I decompile the apk, all I find is "smali" type files, and not one single xml file. This is where i'm lost..
Thanks for any help in advance, and sorry for this stupid question, it seems that everywhere I search this is the part that is directly skipped over.
you will find the xml files in the /res folder

Hi!
I've been working on a few different game mods over the past few months, and seem to have hit a dead end with particular files.
Namely, a resources.pak file, which I know is a packaged update for the game I am working on. I cannot seem to find anything that will unpack or decompress the file!?
There are a lot of tools out there for .pak files, but all seem to be for Quake Mods, and have specific formats which they expect the .pak file to be in. All of which I have tried have been unable to open / unpack or decompress this file
Has anyone else come across these files? or had any better luck than me in their attempts to get inside the package file??
The .pak file I am trying to unpack can be found at www . dcuonline . co . uk / so / resources.pak (Sorry for the hack, the file is too big to attach, and I don't have enough posts to link directly )
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.
Sorry to bump this guys.
Is no one able to assist with this?

Hello guys,
I am modding an apk to bypass an update check.
I have this outdated APK that functions fine since the URL and query and site address remains same but whenever it checks for and update it crashes. The thing is the developer made it topnotch but since then left and his site was recently taken down so check update query crashes it totally. What I need to do is update just the one function where it brings up the GUI after start. Otherwise it keeps saying download update or crashes randomly at time of starting up.
Now I have been browsing for a day or two for all the tutorials and right now I`m hell lot of confused. I have downloaded many tools and dependencies but I dont know how to proceed. I will tell you guys what I have and what I need.
I have de-compiled the APK using "dex2jar", I had a .JAR file which I decomplied using JD-GUI-Windows now after saving source I have .ZIP file in which I made the necessary editing. Next I downlaoded APKTool.JAR and extracted resource files and XML files that can be read in text editor. Along with some .SMALI files.
Now I am not familier with SMALI language at all and editing in it seems rather complicated and on the other side I have the .JAR file that decomlied all the classes just fine.
MY QUESTION IS:
How do I recompile the files I have ? I have the main coding extraced using dex2jar so in java format and JD-Gui to in .ZIP files, and resources/XML files also decoded using APKTools. What do I do next to recompile the APK ?
In short I have plain text based java source code and plain text XML and other resource file. How do I recompile it ?
