**Not sure if its the right place to post**
I've been tinkering with the AeDesign rom to try to translate it i have successfully translated the strings from weather.apk though it needs to be compiled to an apk again theres where I'm stuck.

i will post the apk & string here to see if someone can work this out

Someone please help to get this recompiled as an app, lol. This is so cool.

Will you be trying to translate the entire rom, or each of the apk's? I would love to get the full rom on my HTC Evo 4G!

This rom is so awesome that i just must translate it xD but i can't find out how to compile it.
visit Aenglish.tk there we can take the discussion further about translating the whole rom

Download apktool and you have to do few steps:

1. Decompile the .apk with this command:

apktool d -s FILENAME.apk

2. Open folder Values and edit/copy Strings.xml

3. Compile back the file with:

apktool b FOLDERNAME

With the -S switch you will decompile only the resources.arsc (which contains the Values folders) and the classes.dex will remain untouched.

That's because you have to import a framework with this command:

For Sense apps:

apktool if PATH:\com.htc.resources.apk

For some other apps:

apktool if PATH:\framework-res.apk

or

Both of them for some apps.
