[G1 Android Development] mindnumbinglyfun:
this might make things easier.. i downloaded a program called "framework-res.apk utility". it is used specifically for my purpose. when i ran it, i got far less errors. they are still nagging about the 9pngs. do you know what to do with these files that are getting errors? i can do it myself if i know what to do, or where to look to find out. google hasnt been too helpful.

here is the command prompt of whats happened.
