I'm using the same tool I've used before to decompile adn recompile and all I've done is change ONE colour value in the values/color.xml
Is there any way to just compile that xml to I can use it with VRT?

What I do when some nasty error pops up while re-compiling.
Open the apk in winRAR, go to folder where you have modified a perticular file (ex: your file), paste it there. Winrar will do everything and no need to sign also.
Well there is no guarantee That this method should work 'always'.

I need to use the XML file in a theme, though. So, does it not need to be compiled first?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yea, just realised the method I gave doesn't work with xml's.
EDIT: Which tool are you using?? Apktool??
I suggests you use apkmanager. . It'll generate a readable log in the form of an text file.
OK.. never mind. You fixed it yourself.

The ICS apktool here seems to work.
Rather odd. But it's building now. Hopefully this is it.

Ok
I got the file to compile and build.
Now I can't find the values/color.xml file. Is it actually resources.arsc?
