I remember with APKTool I always had to rename it.
By that I mean, apktool b MMS MMS2.apk
So apktool b FolderName NameOfAPK.apk
Try that. If not someone else will have to step in. A last resort would be to try APKManager or APK Multi-tool.
Update apktool and put it in the sdk platform tools folder then update the sdk with 4.0 stuff then run this command and keep an ics framework-res.apk in the same platform-tools folder.
apktool if framework-res.apk
Then proceed with
apktool d whateverapp.apk
This was the only way I could get it to work.

You might also want to try the version before the latest. I read that somewhere.
You can also try decompiling with the one version old one and compiling with the new one.

Attempting to toggle on the soft buttons in Nashdogg's CM9 b1 Blue Mist theme.
No problems decompiling and editing the appropriate xmls.
But I keep getting errors when I go to recompile the changes to the theme's framework.framework-res.apk. (apkmultitool and aapt).
Any suggestions?
Thx!
make sure you have the ics apktool.jar

Okay but that's not nashdoggs theme that's gooch's theme. Also try using apkmanager... let me get a link with my apk manager.

Once you unzip everything is in the folder in the other folder run the framework-if batch file then place the framework.apk in the place for modding. Open the script batch file choose the framework-res as your 0project [22] then decompile [9] edit it recompile [11] and it should work. Oh and the folder for editing appears in the project folder and the recompiled will appear in the modding folder name "unsignedFramework.apk". Oh and if it asks if its a system app hit n its not.

You can't recompile a themed framework. You need a clean framework

I can decompile/recompile the soft buttons modded apk, but get compile error (specified file is missing) when I decompile/recompile gooch's theme. (Not altering anything - just getting a control test)
Tomorrow, time permitting, ill take the apk from the rom and move each of the two modded apks' changes over.
Thanks for the download, Big G

Is the error in red? What is the file its saying is missing? If its signedframework or unsignedframework.. ignore that its nothing.

Looks to be the pngs in the themed app. I ran #2 to optimize images, but that didn't do diddly.
Gonna look at Draw-9 patch later.
I have been using apktool 1.4.3 to decompile and recompile framework-res.apk without any problem.
However while I can decompile SystemUI.apk without problem, I cannot recompile it. The error is shown below.
I have done searching in this forum but still can't find the solution.
Please kindly help thanks.

Check if you set the right path for java
Its sometimes in program files or programs x86
Check the portal news. There was an article of an modded apktool version specially for ics
I had the same errors like you
Had these path settings wrong
Leave off the .apk. To compile the SystemUI folder type 'apktool b SystemUI'. Its also case sensitive

just changed an icon inside drawable-hdpi
try using this set of apk tools. this works great for me with ICS & Jelly Bean. And also make sure your SDK's are up to date. extract the folder from the zip file and use normally.

same problem
i uploaded apk,
i decompile, change an icon from drawable, but cannot recompile.
Actually, You don't need to decompile/recompile to change the images, brother. Just change SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.zip. Extract it. Edit the images you want to change. Drag the edit images into the .zip and in compression level select store. It will replace the files in .zip. Change .zip back to .apk. Try it now, it should work.
PS: Selecting store means it doesn't compress the images, Dragging the edited images into the .zip, selecting store and stuff isn't necessary, but it helps sometimes is it makes mimimal changes to the apk.
Your also going to want to get the sources from your framework-res.apk, by this command.
apktool if framework-res.apk
This should/might clear up your recompiling errors.

I tried decompilin with original apktool and compile back ICSapktool too. no success..
Im on GB but havng same errors on ICS too!
Update aapt.exe, grab it from your android sdk folder and place inside apktool dir, old aapt.exe has known bugs that prevent it from recompiling.

I have tried multiple guides and apktools with no luck....Please someone point me in the correct direction--->…I have been able to decompile, but no luck on recompile...
What errors are you getting? What OS do you have? Is this on a TW Stock based ROM or AOSP? Which apktool.jar/aapt.exe are you using?

Use this apktool and aapt.exe
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1755243
Make sure you rename that jar to apktool.jar and place both the jar and exe in your apktool folder
Next, go to C:\User\Owner\apktool\framework and delete whatever resource apk's are in there
Next, get the framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk from whatever ROM your working on and place them in your apktool folder
CD that apktool folder, after you cd type
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool if twframework-res.apk
Decompile your SystemUI.apk again, make edits, recompile

I am trying to take some images and suck from a CM10 ROM and transfer to my ROM (stock touchwiz). I can decompile just fine and edit the files. (drawable-xdpi). But when i re-compile it, i get this really long error.
I've tried the following:
*Installing Both Touchwiz Framework and Framework (From my ROM)
*using the command:
Code:
apktool b -s systemui systemui.apk
(It wont let me use that code)
*Reinstalling the framework multiple times
*I even tried recompiling a non-edited version. That doesnt even work.
Any Suggestions?
I am needing to edit this for my ROM. v7 update needs to be released soon...
