I have posted this on the community forum at PointUI.com, but I will repost here.
Picture
First, a quick note on the attached picture. The QVGA map is half the size of the VGA map, therefore the locations are off by 2 times. Just divide the X, Y coordinates by 2 to get the QVGA locations. To get a new location, use MS Paint in Windows (pic editor), mouse over where the city you want to add is and look in the lower right-hand corner for the X, Y coordinates.
XML File
Thank you to Montecristoff at PointUI for this first part:
A quick guide to add your own city on World or Today Applet:
> goto accuweather.com to find your city with its code
When you found your town on Accuweather website, the code is in your browser adress bar. You just have to check url to isolate it.
You could also use this to obtain the complete url : http://www.accuweather.com/rss-center.asp
> Copy the following file from your device to your PC:
Program Files\Home2\AppletRibbon\Today\Cities.xml (for Today applet)
Program Files\Home2\AppletRibbon\World\Cities.xml (for World applet)

On to my stuff.
I was able to add my city and others in the United States, but I followed the existing patterns in the XML file. The previous post entries on how to use the '0&' are partially correct.
Here is what I use:
<item>
<id>22602</id>
<text>Winchester, VA</text>
<x>85</x>
<y>44</y>
<url>http://rss.accuweather.com/rss/liveweather_rss.asp?metric=0amp;locCode=22602</url>
<newsurl>http://news.google.com/news?ned=us&output=rss</newsurl>
<gmtOffsetMinutes>-300</gmtOffsetMinutes>
</item>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For the id, use the US Postal Zip Code for the city you want. Then use "http://rss.accuweather.com/rss/liveweather_rss.asp?metric=0&locCode=*Your Zip Code*"
Just replace *YourZipCode* with your 5-digit zip code, and *Your X*/*Your Y* with your X, Y coordinates. See code below:
<item>
<id>*Your Zip Code*</id>
<text>Winchester, VA</text>
<x>*Your X*</x>
<y>*Your Y*</y>
<url>http://rss.accuweather.com/rss/liveweather_rss.asp?metric=0amp;locCode=*YourZipCode*</url>
<newsurl>http://news.google.com/news?ned=us&output=rss</newsurl>

Note: I use a MortScript to update both XML files from one location. This may be helpful if you are playing around with this file a lot. I leave my "main" copy on my storage card and make all my edits there. When I am done with that, I shut down Home2.exe, run my script, and restart Home2.exe.
I`ve got a problem.
I want to add my city, but everytime i run home2 it crashes. This is the code i added to the cities.xml:
<item>
<id>EUR|PL|PL003|PABIANICE</id>
<text>Pabianice</text>
<x>359</x>
<y>58</y>

There are a few things wrong with your script though.
1) The ampersand (&) is incorrect scripting. Replace it with "amp;". Don't forget the semicolon --> ";"
2) There is a space added in your URL line for your location
Change your URL line to this:
<url>http://rss.accuweather.com/rss/liveweather_rss.asp?metric=
0&locCode=EUR|PL|PL003|PABIANICE</url>

Hi Everyone
I feel like an idiot asking this question but how can what can I use to read the xml files that are in the apk files? Every time I double click on them and IE opens I get an error. I then downloaded an xml editor and when I tried to open it in there I also got an error.
Right click on the file, click open with and choose notepad to view its raw formating. if you want a cleaner look use word to view the XML file. Be careful not to save it in word though it can garble the file. you will just have to play with it to see what works for you.
IE definitely is not a good way to view and edit XML files.

Use smali and backsmali. If you download this little toolkit from here you should be able to edit them in notepad++. I forgot how to use them but its pretty easy.
Maybe I'm wrong--been so long since I've messed with this stuff

The best way is to use brut.all's apktool(http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/) it does all the difficult work for you.

Woohoo I should tag the link and put it in my sig. That is if I still have room. Lol
XML files are compiled to binary form when app is built. This is why you can't open them.
AFAIK my apktool is only one tool, which decompiles XMLs fully and gives you possibility to compile them back. There is also AXMLPrinter tool, but it doesn't decompile all data and it's used mainly to help with hex editing, cause it can't compile file back.
smali/baksmali doesn't have anything to do with XML files.

Dude I love ur apktool. Did u see the axmlprinter.bat file that dec put in his resources page. It works great with axmlprinter2 file. It takes away all the typing in the cmd and does it for u and shows u the readable file in its own small window. A suggestion...maybe adding that to ur apktool would be a great addon

Yeah, I know, sorry for that.
I just like to explain my point of view very precisely to avoid misunderstanding. And I ain't English speaker, so it takes me some time to describe it. I could do just two things to not waste time on repeating myself: give a link or give a link and place a quotation beneath it ;-) Maybe second option is better

You can also view and edit binary xml's in root explorer, as long as they haven't been hex edited. Skews up the formatting some how.

I would imagine that the info is stored somewhere in /data/data/ so you could include the folder in a flashable zip - which isn't too hard to make
Otherwise for making it completely included in the apk, as if its a cookie on a website where your info will automatically show up:
Decompile the apk and check out the folder /res/values/ and look at those .xml's Specifically the strings.xml file.... I think.
If nothing's in any of the .xmls or /data/data you should check out the smali data from the apk. Which most likely will probably be a big pain in the ass because there's usually quite a few smali files in apks and they generally have a fairly large number of strings in each one.
Hope this helps

I've written an application for such translating xml files, you can use it to translate xml file in one click.
Steps:
Select xml file (e.g. Strings.xml)
Select source language (e.g. cn for chinese)
Select target language (e.g. en for english)
Click translate menu item
It may take several minutes depending on source length
A new file with translated text will be created in source location with new keyword in file name.
Optionally, you can exclude words and patterns using regex.
Hope this will help many people on Xda. I'm not registered as developer here, pls some one post it as a thread with credits. Thanks in advance.

Dear these are the translations to leading foreign text. Copy and try it in translate.google.com and see it.
If the process is stuck on certain translation; copy the left hand foreign text (in your case chinese characters) and add it to exclude list.
Hope this answers your question.

I recently downloaded asphalt overdrive and found the name too long and odd looking in my app drawer. I wish it would be better if it was down to oneword such as "Asphalt" or "Overdrive" only. Can someone tell me how to change the app name itself. It will be much helpful if someone modifies it for me
