APKTOOL - recompiling error - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had been looking before for the same thread I created, but I hadn't found so I created this one. I want to mod some apps for my Jelly Sandwich. Decompiling goes well, but recompiling - error!
This what I exactly do:
apktool if framework-res.apk (success)
apktool d SystemUI.apk (success)
apktool b SystemUI.apk (error)
This is what I get after recompiling command:
Code:
I: Checking whether sources has changed...
I: Smaling...

Even without changing anything, apktool doesn't recompile my apk.
I have tried to recompile on two PCs - both of them have latest Java software installed.
I could post it in General Android section, but I think it can be related with Xperia only.

I got something like that once also:

I had this problem before too
Are you sure the apk you decompiled hasnt been modified my anyone before ?
Are you using the latest aapt and apktool ? Apktool 1.5 kinda fix all those problems, althought most problems come from apk..
In the second log of your apktool, all you need to do is edit the xml files where the error is coming from.
Anyway, heres the apktool thread

This 1.5 is strange... What is the comand for decompiling, compilng and installing frameworks? Damn...
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Install frameworks first :apktool if framework-res.apk
Decompile : apktool d <name of apk> <folder created>
Recompile : apktool b <name of folder> <name of new apk>
Sent from my WT19i

Well, those methods work on 1.4.3 downloaded from Google project site only. And recompiling doesn't work also.
So I cannot recompile modded before apks by other people?

I would learn to use apktool before making a ROM
Well, I had this problem a few month ago, and i solved it by reinstalling / downloading it and putting stock. 587 framework-res.apk...
Try it, hope it helps

I just cannot solve it, I installed 587 framework and infact I cannot recompile anything

Try
Put an Folder where is just apktool.jar and aapt.exe
Open command
Type java -jar apktool.jar if framework-res.apk
Then type java -jar apktool.jar if SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
Then type java -jar apktool.jar d SystemUI.apk
Then java -jar apktool.jar b SystemUI

I'm having the same issue. I cannot recompile some apk even without changes, on the other hand some others work well. The mentioned link doesn't work.

Use the latest apktool, I have no problems with it. If you're on an older version, replace aapt.exe from the latest Android SDK.

I tried both old an latest (2.0 beta) apktools, same issue. Please try re-compile "skype.apk" (I do not attach it since it is quite heavy but I believe you will be able to download it somewhere).

After you're done compiling go to the builds folder copy the res folder & the arsc file, open the unmodded home.apk with a zip viewer like 7zip or winrar, delete the old res folder & arsc & replace it with the one on the build folder on where you compiled your modded home and that's it

Can someone please help?? Why is it trying to get something from my docs and setting folder?? What does that have to do with any of this???
I think I'm missing a step here...I haven't done anything with framework-res or anything so, that could be the issue... Sorry, I'm just starting to get into this...
Thanks in advance guys.
Running 1.4.9. The latest...for JB...
You didn't pull your ROMs framework and run
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk

Oh ok thanks man.
Yeah, that seemed to enable me to get it recompiled now. If I decomp'd it without that, does that make a difference? Do I "have" to sign it also?
I'm re flashing it and its not sticking...no MMS app anywhere... I usually can just dump it in the System/app folder and do permissions and reboot using ES File Explorer... Didnt work... Am I doing something else wrong? Haha...
Thanks man.

No you dont have to sign it. If its not working the there is something wrong and you may need to redo it. Make sure your flashing this in a flash able. And not just dropping in its proper place

Yeah, I didnt have the framework installed when I decompiled.
Its giving me this...anything to worry about?
I: Building resources...

You may have issues with it crashing when searching looks like your getting the aapt error did you update the aapt to the latest?.

Yeah, the 1.4.9?? Is that the latest?
It flashed. But I "had" to flash it over the other one... Usually I can drop it in. Or rename the old one to mms.apkbak and flash, just in case I want revert.
Spose I can just flash back if I want.
No errors just yet. My additions stuck. Do you know what "maxsize" value I would use for like 450kb?
I put 0500000, and thought that was 500kb. but its going as low as 239kb. I want to make it prob 300kb, to be safe for other carriers.
Thanks mate. You've really helped me understand some stuff here...might even get into themeing a little...one step at a time though...haha
Cheers.

Your instructions are clear and precise. Thank you for this wonderful tool, it works quite well.
I do have a few questions:
Do the framework-res files (TouchWiz and regular) need to be imported each time one decompiles/recompiles an odexed apk, or is once enough?
Also, where does the app leave its folders while it does its work? I noticed that while running the app, it appeared to pull the framework files into subfolders. Are these files left on the phone's internal storage, root of the phone, or removed after a session? These questions, of course, are related, but the bottom line is I am trying to understand the application's impact on resources and memory.
Thanks for your help!

1) no need to import framework files each time..just import it once.
If you changed the rom then you have to import new framework files of that rom..
2) app creates the files for each app in storage.
After editing, odexing or deodexing app just delete the folders like appname_src....

Thank you sir. The app works well, has some minor error messages with the phone and contacts apps, but this may be unrelated to your app. Overall this is an outstanding resource.
Thank you very much.
