Root In Need Of a .jar file Editor

Doesn't work like this. These files are compiled. In order to edit, you have to build from the source. What are you trying to change?

I know within the services.jar you can change the color of the carrier info and so on. I wanted to be able to try that.

Building from source is a little more difficult, since the Captivate runs TouchWiz. It's a little tough. I need help in that area....

Rename the extension to .zip and edit using any zip program.

So just use the .dex file and rename that to zip? I can already see what's in the .jar file just by using WinRAR, but I wanted to edit the .dex file, which apparently can only be done by building from source.....makes sense in a way....
