[Q] Decompiling the "classes.dex" file - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I'm a noob ROM developer and I want to create a new Rom based on
one of the great Roms here on this forum and add it support for RTL languages so it can support correct display of numbers when displaying an RTL lang.
As I understand I need to somehow decompile the "classes.dex" so I can edit the code in it and compile it again.
How can I achieve this? Maybe I can the original source code of it so I don't need to decompile?
I'm experienced with c++ and Java Android apps development but don't have a clue from where to start roms development.
Appreciated your help,
Thanks,
Oren

Hi All,
iam trying to combine two apk's in one... can anyone suggest a simple approach to this.
My use case is
i write scripts using python for android.
i can package those scripts in apk. however apk if installed on a phone which doesn't have python interpreter ask's user's to download interpretor.
what i want is one monolithic apk which contains python interpretor plus my script.
Note : looked through SL4A forum completely and was not able to find any satisfactory answer.
so is this possible or not?

This blog post seems to detail the process of packaging a python script along with the interpreter: http://jokar-johnk.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/how-to-make-android-app-with-sl4a.html
EDIT: At least, I think it does. I haven't fully read it, more skimmed it.

a vendor folder, under system folder, that have two folder inside, bin and lib.
Another, classic lib folder, under system, that contains, i hope, other libs.
How can i know what i have to include in my android build structure, and what the exactly structure?
thanks to all.

Open and customize CyanogenMod application on Eclipse

Hi,
I followed all the instructions on cyanogenmod wiki for compiling and opening the entire source tree in eclipse.
Cyanogen Open in Eclipse
Although this worked, I still don't see how I can open a specific package project and mod it because it does not compile. I have to edit everything in notepad and compile it in a linux box.
I wanted to take out a specific folder like packages/apps/Phone and built it as seperate project using the whole Cyanogen built as dependency but I don't know how to do this.
Is there anyone who knows how I can find the dependencies of a cyanogen app and manage to built a seperate project only with one app?
Thank you
