I had a crack at doing it myself with the AppsDecoder, but for some reason it hangs during the build phase. Perhaps I made a mistake? My machine is XP and I did things in the following order:
1. Place apk file in Apps folder
2. Activate decoder hta file
3. Selected apk
4. Clicked "decode"
5. Clicked "edit xml file"
6. Go to Apps folder, open "AndroidManifest.xml" and make changes you suggested. Save
7. Go back to running decoder and click "Build Android App"

At this point, a black window appears, but it just stays there and nothing further happens. I even let it run all night. Did I do something wrong?

thanks,
