Save the apk file as .zip that is filename.apk.zip.and then extract this file using winzip or winrar.src,res folders and manifest files are available after extraction.

It's not exactly the same, as many files in apk are encrypted, and by decompiling you make those files accessible to edit

if you just decompile it, it won't work. if you want to edit something in framework (any xml file) you have to decompile it, and after you've done, compile it again. if you make any errors, it won't work
