I know how to modify all files of an apk. I just don't know what file to edit.
The screeny shows what needs fixing. It's the search suggestions/history screen in the market.
What xml contains the color code for that black on black text of the vending.apk? I'm assuming it's in the vending.apk.
+1 thanks to the quickest correct response.

To edit the jar filed you have to undex them and redex them. There are discussions on this. If you want the easy way, search for the colorChange.jar

i bet his services.jar has a complimentary services.odex to go with it, like in the droid, so colorChange.jar won't work first without de-odex-ing it.
Correct their is a service.odex.

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've been working on a theme and I have been trying to change the color of the bar that shows up for the volume control and for downloads, etc. I have looked all over the ROM and themes trying to find the .png for it, but I can't find it. Can anyone tell me what it's called and where it's located? Thanks in advance.

I think u should be able to find it in "framework-res.apk" file under settings/framework
framework-res.apk\res\drawable\progress_horizontal.xml

Its not a .png you can just edit in photoshop. You have to decompile and edit the progress_horizontal.xml file.
Here's a good guide:

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

In Nova launcher you just need to hold on an icon, slide it to Edit and just delete or rewrite name. that simple.
thanks a ton!
