xml on Ubuntu 10.10

I imagine a program like gedit would probably be a good for editing the .xml files. Are you trying to edit it on your phone or on your computer? If it's on your computer then you should just be able to:

That will pop up a root version of notepad that should let you edit it. I have no idea if editing it on your phone directly (if possible) will cause problems though or if that is why you're not able to edit the file.

Yes I'm doing it on the computer. Thank you I will try this when I get home from work.

I tried that and it didn't work. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong because if I did it right it would work. Thank you anyway I'll keep trying different things until I get it to work

Are you trying to modify xml files in apk files? If so you need to decompile using apktool first before you can start editing the xml files.

O didn't know that I'll install the apktool then as I looked and don't seem to have it. Its obvious but yes I'm new to this and just trying to edit things as a way of figuring out how it works. I have changed images already and flashed so its just my road of progression.
Thank you for the help
