resources.arsc file - how to get info about icon from compiled application?

Hello,
How cen I get information about icon of compiled application??
I have downloaded example.apk on my PC.
Unziped it. Found binary AndroidManifest.xml. OK I decoded it and I get:
<application
android:theme="@7F0C0017"
android:label="@7F0B0000"
android:icon="@7F0200A4"
>
And I would like to know the name of the resources the is icon of this application. What means the number: @7F0200A4 . I tried as an offset in resoirces.arcs file but I missed It's not that.
Maybe it's wrong way?? Maybe there is other way to get knowledge about the icon???
BR.
Damien
Not sure if the app icon can be programatically determined without decompiling the whole apk, but it's usually app_icon.png, icon.png or ic_launcher_appname.png in /res/drawable
/Mats
Just open the .apk with a file manager and hunt around for the png, it's not in any xmls.

An APK file by nature is a ZIP file. The reported files/folders make up an APK file.
Read also here:

To install the APK replace file's extension "ZIP" by "APK".
Hello thank you sir,
but the problem I have exactly, is, when I download a zip file from github, your mentioned method wouldn't work.
Maybe you have another solution

Can't Load res/raw Files After Modding

Hello xda-developers!
I'm new to Android hacking, but I have a general background in programming...
I've been modding an application recently, unpacked the .apk file, done my changes and repacked it, signed it and everything works well...But when I run the program, and the program wants to play an mp3 file, which was located in res/raw before packing the .apk file, it gives an error: "Can't load audio file."...What is the possible cause of this problem and how to solve it? Are the IDs of the raw resource files changed everytime I unpack and repack the .apk file or what?
Thanks in advance...
Edit: Issue fixed by unpacking and repacking using Apktool instead of WinZip.

In addition to apktool (thanks, @kaiodduarte), you're also going to need a good text editor (I use Notepad++), an archive manager (like 7zip or WinRAR), and the ZipSigner app for your device.

It will help you with actually being able to make edits to text files without screwing up all of the line endings and encoding.
