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?

Read over this take you time .. its very frustrating just remember once you have it set up your golden

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.

So why is it mentioned in almost every tutorial for editing xml? You sure your doing everything right?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
Trust me it doesn't work. It can only open standard XML files not android ones which are different
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
They're Binary XML files. Easiest solution would be to decompile the apk containing the XML files using Apk Manager and then editing them.
If viewing is all you're interested in, AXMLPrinter2 is simpler.
Otherwise try UltraEdit. This tool can open almost all formats.
Can't post link here, so just google it
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

No, it should not have to be signed. I never sign the ones I edit but then again I don't edit the xmls.

Lol also that you could have gotten a quadcore for cheaper
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
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

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.
Edit:
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.
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?

@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
su (enter key)
touch data/local.prop (enter key)
echo qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 > data/local.prop (enter key)

OK. Thanks Marcus will do that.

Does zeinzu just create a text file and name it local.prop? Then put it in the root of my phone? Not my SD card but the actual phone with es file explorer?

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?-.-
EDIt: it would be awesome if someone could hook me up with the tools to decompile these kinds of frameworks. I can decompile ICS ones fine. Just not newer ones? Lol
