This is mainly for the rom devs/themers out there.
Since ICS, there have been issues recompiling Phone.apk - the recompile fails with errors in various strings.xmls in the values language folders.
Had the same issue trying to recompile Phone.apk in the lastest Sense4+ ROMs. But thanks to a sharp eyed user over in the Apktool thread I managed to fix the faulty xmls.
Thought I'd upload them here, to save others the effort. Just add the folders in the zip to your decompiled Phone.apk, and it should recompile fine. Have tested these with both Sense4 and Sense4+ Phone.apk, both recompiled fine.

I did have one issue where ICS skins wouldnt recompile. Was due to an error in decompiling AndroidManifest. Check the difference in manifest between VTS and manual apktool....you'll see there is a "minimum SDK version" line missing from the manifest in VTS. If you add that back in, it should recompile properly.
Though I only had that issue trying to convert JB skins to ICS. Currently working with JB skins and they compile just fine.

Becareful with the .9.pngs. they can be a pain. I kmow I've had issues compiling if their not set up right

ya did alot of reading on .9 pngs. but that is not what is causing the problem. have decompiled and compiled without making any edits and it errors out. i think there is aproblem with aresource file or a smali file. not sure but it is making theming hard. personaly i have never had a problem with any of the .9 that i have edited.
Just a quick question, what version of rujelus22 apktool do you have?
I have the jb version it has 1.5.0 apktool.
So I have read multiple post and tried everything under the sun. I still keep getting errors. Does anyone have the magic answer. I have never had so much trouble in decompiling before. I have installed and reinstalled frameworks, changed and updated the apktool files. I have tried various apktool programs and all to no avail...
Anyone???

What a pain...
Are the SecPhone.apk corrupt? I can decompile the apk perfectly fine but I cannot get it to recompile after making changes to the xml files. I have tried different SecPhone.apk from different stock ROMs including stock ROMs from the SIII and still same thing. I am currently on XXLSJ stock ROM. If anyone can recompile the SecPhone.apk without any errors please help. Thanks.

When you try to recompile the APK, go to the log and find out which XML files having bad lines and just delete those lines. This has at least worked for me. But you can always send me the APK and I'll recompile them for you.
...but I'm having issues installing the required java & android sdk files to my PC so I'm unsuccessful when trying to decompile the SystemUI.apk. Has anyone done that mod to a TW 4.1.2 ROM (Im on JMTJB v6 btw). If so think you could share the edited xml file(s) or the SystemUI apk? I also posted a link of my SystemUI.apk to see if anyone is willing to edit the needed xml files. Just name your price Thx ahead.
I can't be the only one wanting this mod, right? There has to be someone else who got it done on TW 4.1.2

Thank you...but as you see (and I stated on the o.p.) I have problems with my old-ass pc and I can't get the necessary files installed for me to decompile any apk. I have tried and tried but it just won't do it and I'm left unable to decompile crap. I know EXACTLY what I need to do but I CAN'T DECOMPILE the SystemUI.apk to do it. . That's the reason I'm asking if someone (that knows how to decompile, edit the status_bar.xml & tw_status_bar.xml, & compile again) could hook me up...and of course I'm willing to pay for their time.
