Use Notepad ++, it works!
did you decompile whatever apk you are modding from apkmanager? or apktool... 7zip messes it up
I can only assume you are pulling the XML files from the APK. You need to decompile them instead of just pulling them.

I've been theming my own APKs for a while just doing png edits, now I'm trying to do xml edits with notepad++ (after decompiling the apk with apkmanager), and every time I open up the xml it looks like this. Why?

Hm, how would I decompile it correctly? I've tried extracting the apk with 7zip and apkmanager and this is what I always get. Is there something else I need to do?

What apk is it, and are you using option 9 to decompile or are you just pulling the files out with 7zip

I want to change the color of the buttons, is there a guide on how to do this?
Just replace the images in SystemUI. Don't remember the exact ids, but you should be able to find them.

Look up apk tool and apk manager. Pretry simple once you get the hang of it. There is tutorials all over xda on how to use them and modify files..

Depending on what you are trying to do you will have to remake the .9.pngs as well as rewrite some of the xmls layout.

Yup. Those are the popup .9pngs in the framework-res.apk. You will have to make news ones that match what you want and then run them threw the draw9 tool and recompile the apk

Make sure all the images are the same dimensions and that you change the right images in the right folder.
