[Q] De-Compile Won't Work

Can't de-compile apk's in APK Manager. I have installed the proprietary files in apktool, the frameworks, and when I try to de-compile framework-res.apk or Settings.apk it gives an error and it doesn't de-compile.
Code:

Unable to recompile SystemUI.apk using apktoo

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.

Put in "Install Framework" Framework.apk from "Framework" folder and original file that you decompiled in "Install resource" .

Compiling SecSettingsProvider

I am currently working on creating a new rom for the Note 2 (XXDLL4 - 4.1.2) and I was trying to edit SecSettingsProvider.apk. While I could decompile it, apktool kept bringing up errors while compiling even when not even modifying the apk. On other system files it worked correctly so I'm wondering if there's a different process to use with this file ?
This is the error :
