I have downloaded the Android source code by following the steps given here http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html
I see that there are a lot of .pack files and I understand this contains the source code files,

My question is how do I unpack these files and actually edit/read the source code? can someone help?

I tried “git unpack-objects

Thanks in advance

    Source files are not in .pack files, they are java and .cpp files
    Most probably your download was not complete
