problem (de)compiling sense 3.5 systemui

i'm struggling to recompile systemui from rcmix 4.0
1st of all, no edits have been made, so there is no issue in that direction.
the problem is i think in recompliling smali, which makes app fc.
i used apk manager 4.9 and apk multitool v 1.0.2. they both give an error about a file not found when compliling:
2012-02-29 02:15:58 (3,98 MB/s) - `apkver.txt' saved [152/152]

The system cannot find the file specified.
but seem to build apk fine (roughly the same size and structure)
then i tried using apktool 1.4.3, installed framework, decompliled and recompiled with no error at all, drag and dropped classes.dex from recompiled apk to original (because of signatures) and push to phone and it crashes.

am i doing something wrong? where? any help much appreciated

i figured my problem lies somewhere in signatures of the app. it gets broken even if i drag/drop classes.dex from one original file to another, tried using 7zip and winrar. any suggestions?

since this is a monologue, lets finish it if someone ever bumps into it
i didnt resign it at first and i read several posts against signing system apks

[MOD][15 Toggles] How to mod Lidroid framework

Before you get the idea please consider to thank Препод, poppuri and sk0t (from 4pda.ru) for their time and hard work, all credits go to them.
Here we go, the idea is simple , decompile "lidroid-res.apk", open "apktool.yml", you will find this :
Code:
version: 1.4.5
apkFileName: lidroid-res.apk
isFrameworkApk: true
usesFramework:
ids:
- 1
If you keep the "- 1" it will uses only one framework, you have to add "2", like this :
Code:
version: 1.4.5
apkFileName: lidroid-res.apk
isFrameworkApk: true
usesFramework:
ids:
- 1
- 2
Done, make your changes and re-compile, use my Apk_Manager if you have any trouble with ICS files.
Thanks again to Препод & poppuri & sk0t, don't forget to credit them.

as 2.apk - do I need to install twframework-res.apk or lidroid-res.apk?

i think you will need twframework-res.apk.

So, now we can translate to own languages the lidroid toggles, right?

Maybe because you used the second solution, i removed it from the first page.
Use this one instead :
Code:
version: 1.4.5
apkFileName: lidroid-res.apk
isFrameworkApk: true
usesFramework:
ids:
- 1
- 2

re-installed newer java runtime environment 1.7.0_03 and used your second method now it works! Thanks wanam for help!!
