Why does my XML look like this?

...and how do I make it stop? I've tried Notepad++ with the XML plugin, Eclipse, EditPlus, Notepad, WordPad, and none of them seem to be encoding it properly.

did you decompile the apk? or did you just extract the apk?

No... he didnt. Decompile the apk and it will come out normal.

Oh... derp. I extracted it. That explains it.
I just spent about an hour trying to figure out why I can't build a decompiled apk. I was able to decode it just fine, but I get a bunch of errors when I try to build it. I gave up and thought I'd try smali to edit classes.dex and I thought I'd be able to edit the XML by simply extracting it from the apk.
I'm trying to modify the stock Jellybean launcher (following these directions) because Apex is too choppy and I don't like Nova.
I was able to edit launcher.smali, recompile it, put it back into the apk and flash it without any force closing issues (had to substitute a few things). Now I need to do the rest in XML but I can't recompile with apktool or anything.

Never mind. I've got it:

[Q] Apktool , Install framework-res resource

How can I run ICS and Original Apk Tool ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1558171
And how can I install framework-res resources ?

Yes. Original to decompile and compile. Use ICS to compile if you are having problems with the Original one.
To install sources on Windows
open cmd [if you are running x64 with java x32, open C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe]
cd [your apktool folder] [exemple: cd C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents]
apktool if framework-res.apk
done.
To install sources on Linux
open terminal
cd [apktool folder again]
apktool if framework-res.apk
done. Actually it's the same steps as on windows, but anyway...
Just remember you must have java jre/jdk installed. And the framework-res.apk must be together with the apktool.jar.

Now what can I ? I clicked apktool.bat but not opened :/

In this case, you need to run framework-if.bat Running apktool.bat won't be different. You can also path\apktool if framework-res.apk
