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.

[Help!!! ] Need help compiling apks...

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?

Sry...windows 7....tw....systemUI.....upon recompile doesn't create new apk in apktool folder....caused by Java.io.File not found exception:....using the apktool found hereandroidforums.com/esteem-all-things...properly-decompile-recompile-aps-apktool.html

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

ApkTool Re-Compile systemUI.apk issue!!

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...

[Q] Decompiling and building SystemUI.apk

Okay, so I am trying to get the navbar working on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Pretty much, I have a feeling that SystemUI is missing the icons for the navbar, which causes it to crash when the build.prop has the line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0". The SystemUI has all the other files that were required for the S4 sysui mod, except for the icons. Being a noob at this, I went ahead and tried to add the icons, but my apk resulted in "System UI has stopped.".
So I decided maybe I am doing something wrong. So with Android Multitool for windows, I installed framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, and twframework-res.apk. Next I select the SystemUI.apk for decompiling, and decompile it. Then I simply select the decompiled directory (didn't modify anything!), and recompile it. I then open the new SystemUI.apk in 7z and add the META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml from the old SystemUI.apk. I then select the newly compiled SystemUI.apk for signing, then I sign it.
This is just decompiling, then building the same thing without modifications. SystemUI.apk before decompiling is 2.7 MB, the newly compiled one is only 2 MB! Something is missing out of the new one, but when I compare them in 7z, the only thing I can see that is different is the packed size; whereas the old one has files and folders that take up more space packed than the new one.
When I try doing this with just apktool and cmd, I get java errors like crazy, and the whole SystemUI.apk ends up only half decompiling.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Your best bet would be to copy the log to pastebin, and post it in the apktool support thread. Get more views there for sure. Which version of apktool are you using? Can you decompile and recompile anything? Also, if you want post your systemui up and i could see if I can get it to work, narrow it down to a problem on your end that way.

This is my first time doing this, so of course I make a noob mistake! I thought I had to sign ALL apks, but this is a SYSTEM app, and I don't sign it. All is well! Thanks for the reply. I also updated my apktool to 1.5.2, so that may have helped too.

all you have to do is add a + before the @ sign in the line that is giving you errors....umm depending if it is xml errors....
post the errors.....

You don't need to sign it? I have also this problem. It gives me error that SystemUI has stopped.
