Now you get classes.dex  files, etc. At this stage you are able to see drawable but not xml and  java files, so continue.  Step 2:  Now extract this zip apk file in the same folder (or NEW FOLDER). Now download dex2jar from this link <a href="http://code.google.com/p/dex2jar/" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/dex2jar/</a>  and extract it to the same folder (or NEW FOLDER). Now open command  prompt and change directory to that folder (or NEW FOLDER). Then write dex2jar classes.dex and press enter. Now you get classes.dex.dex2jar file in the same folder. Then download java decompiler from <a href="http://java.decompiler.free.fr/?q=jdgui" target="_blank">http://java.decompiler.free.fr/?q=jdgui</a>    and now double click on jd-gui and click on open file. Then open  classes.dex.dex2jar file from that folder. Now you get class files and  save all these class files (click on file then click "save all sources"  in jd-gui) by src name. At this stage you get java source but the xml  files are still unreadable, so continue.  Step 3:  Now open another new folder and put these files  <ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">put .apk file which you want to decode</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">download <a href="https://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list" target="_blank">apktool v1.x</a> AND <a href="https://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list" target="_blank">apktool install window</a> (both can be downloaded at the same location) and put in the same folder</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">download <a href="http://www.4shared.com/get/fKigopxT/framework-res.html" target="_blank">framework-res.apk</a> file and put in the same folder (Not all apk file need framework-res.apk file)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Open a command window</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Navigate to the root directory of APKtool and type the following command:   apktool if framework-res.apk</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">apktool d "fname".apk  ("fname" denotes filename which you want to decode)</li> </ol>  now you get a file folder in that folder and now you can easily read xml files also.   Step 4:  It's not any step just copy contents of both folder(in this case both new folder)to the single one   and now enjoy with source code...</blockquote>
