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.

lol thats the real deal post! i was searching for that one earlier, but xda was slow
One more [Q]:
If I have an update.zip that's ready to flash, and I'm open it with winrar and override the original system/fonts files with the fonts I need - do I need to resign it before I'm flashing it? or I can flash the same update.zip after I'm saving it?
thanks!

You must resign Must resign after ANY changes.

the way i did the JACxROM 1.3 a while back was by grabbing a theme template by cyanogen and looking at what files it contained .. then I grabbed the rom and deleted all the files that werent necessary and voila you have a template

oh wow i completely forgot to mention that ... heres a generic one that should work for all themes ... so in your theme.zip you should have an app folder and a framework folder since those are the folders that the script will copy over
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

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.

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.

I've tried both system/media and data/local rebooted and it doesn't work,i moved the zip from my SD card via root explorer, do i have to extract the zip or leave it as it is (i didn't extract it)
Did you find the rom bootanimation.zip in any of them? Did you rename it to bootanimation.zip?
Do you get a blank screen or the rom boot? If the old, your rom is customized and boot should go in resources it something like that. Hit the rom dev thread, you will find right location there.
If you got a blank screen, you probably didn't rename it or renamed wrong.
It works!
