I'm mainly trying to edit the eri.xml and apn.xml for a non Sprint carrier. I tried APKTools but it's not really working. I keep getting a java not found error even though its installed. Also it doesn't seem that you can edit this xmls with APKTools anyway. Anyone feel like pointing me in the right direction?

You can do that straight from your zip archiver. Just open it as a zip. The xml is in res/xml

I'm pretty sure eri is encrypted.
He'd have to decompile it.
Hmm do you have the android sdk installed and the resources... you need more than the java developemnt kit... you need that version of androids resources and dependencies to decompile it...
And no you can't edit xmls without decompiling the framework completely.

Already on it thanks.

Wow my old developing persona is awakening in me as I watch the SDK install. Look out... maybe a "Hello Epic World" will follow after I'm done with this.

alright so im trying to decompile "services.jar" except apk manager wont find it to "start the project" any help would be appreciated
Tribby Im not sure it can handle jar.
You can just use 7zip on that services.jar.
What wildstang said works well, the apk tool your using is not able to handle jar files

Hey Cryous, Love your Android over there on the right. Thats pretty cool.
I plan on creating my own rom and was wanting to know what tools I may need and how to go about it the correct way? It will be Android based.
Google it, exactly what I did. Make sure you have a decent computer that can handle all that memory.

I'd hope its android based lol android sdk Java jdk notepad++ apk manager there's other stuff look around if you do a search I'm sure there are other people who asked the same thing

it is a quad-core. but i-7 has 8 threads. not just 4 like i5 xP
to down a autosign software can resolve it.
Yes you need to sign it I gave you a adroid signer that will work perfect sorry I forgot to mention it

oh ok. do u know how to decompile and compile in eclipse? i kinda did it but i didnt get all the other folders with xml's inside.
dude ur an expert lol:can i edit the text that comes out on the phone. Like when you pu power off, and then it says "Your phone will shut down."
My phone recently fell and my capacitive keys don't work. Its sad that I can enjoy the betas of REMICS ans SENSE 4.0 ON my epic. I would grfeatly appreciate if someone could teach me how to enable these or create them. If someone teaches me I can keep updating the file for each update and push it out for most ROMs on our epics. I have decompiled and compiled frameworks and done basic editing. I know it will take more than just a little editing but I am more then willing to learn to make this happen! Thanks to anyone who tries in advance.

Install AOKP, go to settings, rom control, enable navbar, select onscreen buttons you want
Decompile framwork-res.apk, edit /values/bools.xml and set the navigation bar value to true then recompile.

Can't you also just create local.prop and add line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0?
Sent from my SPH-D700 CM9 4.0.4
@dahturdima I have that on right now. I've had it like this. But I've been wanting to do it for other roms.
@ marcusant I though of that was in the process of doing it. But my decompilers wouldn't do it. I was getting chunk PNG missing files or something like that. I was trying to do it on REMICS.
If someone could upload their working set of tools I would greatly appreciate it.

Open terminal emulator and type

EDIt:It worked on REMICS!!!!!!!! Now if someone is willing to help how can i change the size? I know I can do it through dimes.xml in the framework but the question is what guru can do it without decompiling it? lol
I've done it on cm9 and it works.

It worked great thanks Zeinzu. Youre a genius. Is it possible to resize it without decompiling?
Not sure, haven't tried. I'm assuming no though.

Im assuming the guys that created ROM control are gurus because it does it automagically once you put the size?-.-

Does such a thing exist?
I've used apktool versions from 1.4.2 up to 1.5.0 with no joy.
I am trying to edit the framework-res.apk
I can decompile ok, I can edit the .xml file ok, but I cannot get the blasted thing compiled again.
Can anyone help?

Hah! I did it! I neglected to do the first line of code; essentially, I was de- and recompiling with different apktools. I can verify that 1.5.0 works on this build.
