hi
how can I edit this file for add something
any software?
a .so file is a compiled file (generally a library file). You need to edit the source and compile it. This may help a bit... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...bwebcore-so-instead-of-the-whole-froyo-source
To directly edit the .so file, you need to either use a hex editor or a disassembler...
I followed the thread here

and dont understand this step!! the framework-res.apk is in ".apk" format, and 7zip, powerarchive, winrar wont let me put "resources.arsc" in the apk file.
If I rename it to framework-res.zip and put it in there as "store, not compress" it will let me, and all I have to do is rename it back to apk file, but it wont work when i flash it with odin, just keeps looping in the booting screen.
Does anyone know how to solve this or properly put "resources.arsc" as "storing, not compressing in the framework-res.apk file" ?? Thanks guys!!
13. Next, right click the resources.arsc and select Add to archive from the 7zip option.
14. Make sure your option is to store (not compressed) and click on the ... icon to select the file, in this case is the unsignedframework-res.apk. This method of doing is to ensure that your resources.arsc is changed from compressed format to store format (no compression).
OK- so i extract this framework-res.apk file in the rom, and i change a few of the icons, and now clearly it's time to save the changes in the framework-re.apk form, but HOW?!?!?!
and that..............^ is the question. how to compress an extracted apk file back?
Use 7-zip or WinRAR.

how am i supposed to do that? there's no compress to apk options, or should i first compress to zip then rename the format to .apk?
how do you install apktool on windows for noobs? i dont understand the instructions on apktools website so i was wondering if you guys could help.
Any help is appreciated.
----edit----
sorry i wasn't more descriptive. so i think i am supposed to download apktool install windows and the apktool file itself. on the apktool download page it says to unpack into windows directory. so im asking, do i download both files and move them to c: windows\ apktool (new folder created). how do i unpack them in the first place. i tried winrar and it gave back errors. Please help.

so do i download the files and extract them with 7zip to c:\windows\apktool\?
not sure if you need 7zip. think you can just extract it to rood of C: drive.. the link i put on last post is where i got those directions from... just try it, if it dont work than i will look more into it for you
windows cant do anything with the tar.bz2 files so you need a third party program. i tried extracting with 7zip and winrar but it gives back an error so it doesnt extract.
I think your answer lies here
