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.
^ Greatest tool ever.

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.

NM, I have a co-worker with an Evo. I made a backup of his and sent it to me. It is not what I expected, it makes you access your account on the internet. I was hoping for something like Verizon's app.

You have to use a file manager. Go to the market and install Estrongs File Manager or any other you perfer. Once you have that installed. Download the Sprint Zone application onto your sd card on your phone. Open up the File manager you installed and locate the Sprint Zone file you downloaded. Click on it and install it to your phone. Easy as that, O also if you have not checked the install unknown sources yet it should send you to that menu before you install.

When i didnt have winrar i typically unziped the .zip, delete the certificates, edit whatever i needed too, and then i had to send it too a compressed(zip) folder, then use a zip and or apk signer to get it signed and flashable.
My question is can i just open up a zip with winrar, edit whatever and just exit and flash.
or do i have to resign anything or delete the certificates. like i did before.

With Winrar, you can edit the files before exiting.
You do not have to delete the files' certificates.

I don't development any Android roms (...yet.)
I am currently unemployed(sadly, it's hard to get a job, I've been looking for over five months..).
For side money though, I do web design and application programming. I'm looking into the Android Software to start developing some stuff though. Maybe it'll go somewhere.

Sorry if this isn't allowed. But its driving me crazy!!
Before I flashed I had a wonderful app 'Pokedroid Pokedex' on my DHD. Stupidly I forgot to backup and now I've lost this app and Its actually been deleted from the app store. I've searched google for hours and I cant find a link anywhere.
Surely someone on this forum has the app, they could backup and share with me? Please? Its my all time favourite app.

I found this one but didn't test it, so hopefully it works for you.
His app got pulled because of a DMCA request by Nintendo btw.

Download Astro File Manager(it's free) from the marketplace.
Start it, navigate to the pokedroid_1.5.2.apk file on your phone. Click on it and select "open app manager" from the window that pops up. Then simply click install
Do the exact same for the extras, but unpack them from the .rar archive first!
Havin a problem, sorry.

im glad people are enjoying this. its a brilliant app, shame the creator has to remove it from the market place.
It runs perfectly on my Desire HD.
thanks guys!!
Does anyone have the apk they can send me? I'm about to upgrade from android 1.5 and I downloaded the app over the air, hence I can't get the apk to install on my new phone. If anyone knows how to get installed apk's from an android 1.5 phone, that would also be greatly appreciated.

Do you have a link for a working apk? The last one I found and installed always force closed everytime I tried to use the program.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App.
Actually I found one by Googling "Polaris office apk". I think the link was at a site called sinful android or something like that. The zip file included the apk and a couple of library files that needed to be placed in the system/lib folded with root explorer.
It worked for me, but the first spreadsheet I opened didn't work well because it was a protected sheet with some cells that should have been editable. However, I couldn't edit the document at all.
Documents to Go works fine in this regard, so I probably won't be using Polaris office.
here you go
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13992153&postcount=206
is there a version of Polaris that can connect to Google docs?
i have pushed the files to system/lib and installed the APK with no luck. Looking foe help with this
In my opinion, Polaris Office is not good as Quick office HD or officesuite!

If you're rooted you can use Root Explorer to do this. It's soooo much easier, this easier to re-try, etc.

Up top in RE, see where it says Mount R/W - switch to Mount R/O by touching it. When you've placed your files down in that area, switch it back to Mount R/W.
