Ok I'm posting this in hope that a developer will answer.
I have been trying to edit .xml files on the droid x. I'm running linux (who runs windows anyway) I have experience in c++ and scripting , but non in themeing.
I have download a bunch of xml file editors. The problem is that every time I open one with the editor I get a error saying " coding not supported ". What ia the deal here and why? Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas why?
Thank you xda
The .xml files need to be decompiled first. Otherwise, they are unreadable. The only way I know off is to decompile the entire apk file with apk manager or aapt.
Note that you have to recompile the apk (xml) before putting it back on your phone.

Thank you makes sense.

Still working with this myself. You need to look on google code for smali/baksmaling, as this is what is used to compress/decompress the xml files.
Thank you systemadmin that's what I thought I had to do, decompile the. Xml file ,but just didn't now how thank you for your reply.
No worries. I have been working on trying to theme and what not myself, and it seems pretty complex at the beginning. Im trying to get some tips from like bignadad, acidbath, and some of the other big developers out here, but they are usually pretty busy and I haven't had much luck. If you start making some progress, send me a PM and share the love =)

Info on Mediatek
Right now my Mediatek seems to work just fine but I know that it is not working for most people. For some reason, when I go to the play store and search "Mediatek" and pick the app, it says that it is not installed yet and I can install it. I am not sure why this happens or how to fix it. I don't want to risk my watch connection and reinstall Mediatek but I am sure that if I did, I would have the same problem. I have found a few apps that look similar to Mediatek that I will post below. Please share if one of the apps worked.
The review
In the review, I included the APK that is working for me and a few other people.
Hopefully the APK works for you too and if you need any help, just leave a comment and I will usually respond within the next day or so.
APK Not available
Hi,
As I mentioned in your review, I just scanned the QR code, website opened succesfully, but links to download the APK are offline. Do you have the APK for me?
The Mediatek app on the playstore keeps saying "Connecting...". Tried everything, reinstall, reset of the watch, none of them worked.
Also, is there anyway to customize the firmware or install / program extra applications?
Thanks!

I can upload the apk that I am currently using to my review tonight and the only way to customize the firmware/apps that I know of are the 3 apps that you can download from the Mediatek app (Yahoo weather, Codoon, Digital watchface)

Thanks for uploading, too bad it's the same version as the one on Play Store. Application keeps saying "Connecting.." while the watch connects perfectly by bluetooth. Reset / reinstall nothing did the trick.
Guess MediaTek wasn't joking with their description:
Special Explanation：
This APK is not suitable for NO.1 G2 watch, please do not use it to connect the G2 watch. Please contact with the manufacturer or watch saler to get help.

Thanks for the quick response and help. Will try the APK as soon as I get home from work. I'll let you know if this one works, I think it will.
I saw another app at the playstore with the same version of the MTK apk u just uploaded, and that one connected directly to the watch. Only problem was that it was only in Spanish. So I hope the apk u just uploaded will work the same

Hello,
I tried to install the APK, but after the download when i try to open the application , it can not be opened.
The other APK, that has the massage "it may not work" is not working for me. I can install the app, but not connecting.
Can you please help me?

So it seems that the newest version of the APK (one with message "it may not work") does not seem to be working for anyone. the other APK has worked for me and a few others. If it can't be opened I would check that you can install APK from unknown sources in settings but, if you were able to install the other APK then that is not the problem. Try re-downloading the working APK and re-installing it.
Is there an error message or number when you try to install the APK? If so please tell me and I might be able to do some more research.

ned help with firmware upgrade
I just got my G2 today and tried to upgrade the firmware to the alternate version with Hebrew support. I followed the directions but get stuck on 0% . I think that the drivers were not installed correctly as when I ran the driver installation prog. (as admin) it gave me the message that XP drivers were installed sucessfully. I tried going into the vista/V7 folder and right clicking the .inf file to install but got the same message that you got in the other thread that this inf can't be installed this way. How did you get around this problem and install the correct drivers?

I have had some problems just like this and unfortunately I have no solution. I can give you some links to update guides.
Link 1 - For the NO1 Sun which should be the same upgrade process
Link 2 - For the NO1 Sun which should be the same upgrade process

Neither of these helped. I still had driver problems. I finally solved the problem by installing the drivers on an old Windows 7 32bit system.. Once they were installed, everything went smoothly. Now I have a different problem. I found a language "C" ROM dated 04-10-2015 and flashed this. It is newer than the "C" ROM on No.1's site which is from 03-02-2015. Unfortunately, in both of these ROM's the Pedometer and the heart rate monitor don't work. Anyone have a newer ROM that they do work in?
BTW, I received the watch with a ROM dated 07-06-2015 and it had "motion" in the settings which allowed the watch to be turned on by wrist movement. also to answer calls and to turn off alarms. It worked very nicely, but it was a "A" language ROM so I overwrote it with the older ROM. I wish that No.1 would make it publicly available and also the "C" language version of it.
please help

Hello everyone.
I'm trying to start to make some mods in some applications but I'm not sure where to start, mainly because i'm in Linux.
For Windows I know about dnSpy which allow us to decompile, edit, compile etc etc apk files!
Is there any applications for Linux to do the same job?

Ok, I have already that application installed, but it keeps telling me that I should have some 3rd party applications in my "vendor" folder. What applications are those? I already tried to copy into that folde "adb" and also the applications that comes with APK Tool, but it still shows the same warning. And I cannot edit dll modules with APK Studio as I can with dnSpy!

I use apktool and smali/baksmali...no studio needed. It is also a good idea to have old and new versions of smali/baksmali (I use 1.3.3 and 2.1.3) because some mods you download the smali files will be in old code format. So I smali them into classes.dex with the 1.3.3 and then baksmali with 2.1.3 to convert old code to new before merging with your apk.

I have downloaded version 2.2.0 of smali and baksmali and also a zip containing (i hope, smali and balsmali) version 1.3.3 of the same application! Is there any basic tutorials to teach how to start with these applications?

Ok, after I have decompressed/decompiled/whatever the apk file I need to edit a file that is a dll module! It has some like c# or so code. How can I edit these files, change them and compile the file again???? Some use dnSpy and when the dll file is opened, we can see a lot of code, functions and stuff. How can I do that without dnSpy because looks like there is no linux version of dnSpy.

Yes, I was trying to create my own modded version of a game! I usually use Atom, but I already tried to open DLL files with Atom and it doesn't work!
Do I have that Notepadqq for Debian?

I`ve been trying to figure out why do you want to "create a modded apk" and according to your last post , you`re trying to bypass functionalities of an original game
