Build framework-res.apk?

I have already dexcode the framework-res.apk, the tool which I used is named "apktool".
And I have done it like this,
apktool if framework-res.apk;
apktool if twframework-res.apk;
apktool d framework-res.apk;
There is no any warnings or errors alarm, and out for framework-res directory and resources.
After I modify some part of *.xml, I type
apktool b reamework-res
it got some errors.
Please help me, why that happend?

After I repack the framework-res.apk and update the update.zip, the device was stuck at the booting time. How to make the framework-res.apk to get the right way to boot the device?

I had some style's errors in system_bar_notification_panel_title.xml and system_bar_settings_view.xml...so I try solve them by extracting them before decompile and push them into apk after rebuilding.
With connor.tumbleson'solution I have add a + before any style-error file ( @style/SystemBarNotificationText becomes + @style/SystemBarNotificationText ) and all works well :good:
I hope aapt and apktool file will be updated as soon as possible....until then we can modify our apks bypassing errors

Thanks for the info!
I hope that apktool will be updated too :good:

Yes...we need aapt update, but we can turn around compiling problems by reading the log file
Inviato dal mio GT-I9505 con Tapatalk 2

so.. adding + before that style error and then compile? can i copy that new SystemUI.apk with ES File Explorer to that /system/app folder?
or how? now my status bar is gone.. can someone upload SystemUI.apk for me? I9505XXUAMDN...

So....try with apk manager , put in other folder your framework-res, twframework-res and systemui. Install them with command prompt, decompile e build (without change) ssytemui I posted you. In apk manager folder you'll have a log file and if you get errors in building...post me it

framework-res won't build.

I can decompile fine but even unedited it won't build.
I'm using apktool.
Is there any framework I could me missing for that?

Problems compiling SystemUI.apk

I'm trying to follow the guide in the general android section for decompiling/compiling SystemUI.apk for 4.2.2 but am running into problems with apktool. Details are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1814441&page=32
I get as far as decompiling and modifying files without any problem, but re-compiling (even when unmodified) with apktool results in the following errors:

This is with stock, odexed XXUAMDC and installing framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk with apktool. My apktool and SDK are up to date. Does anyone have any idea what's going wrong here?

Found the solution now, even if it's an ugly one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263664

First off don't worry about the translation errors.
All of the other errors apktool is telling you what the issue is. Did you copy and past your edits?
Because it is telling you there are no resources to match your edits and it's telling you exactly where the error is. Just follow the errors to the listed xml.

It wasn't to do with the edits, it refuses to compile SystemUI.apk even without any changes. But following the advice here about removing/re-adding system_bar_settings_view.xml and system_bar_notification_panel_title.xml allows you to get around this and compile the apk. From what others have written, I presume this is an issue with the current apktool.

Yes you have to add the missing references. Your aware that apktool is telling your what your missing right? You either rewrite those are add them in manually.
Also make sure you have the latest aapt and apktool from Ibotpeaches. 1.5.3 I believe

Yes, I'd gathered that it had to do with the missing "style/SystemBarNotificationText" etc. but I've no idea where to actually find the missing styles referenced in system_bar_settings_view.xml and system_bar_notification_panel_title.xml. The fix of not decompiling/re-compiling those files works well enough for me, but the 'real' fix would be to find and add those I guess.

Yes you can completely rewrite xml. Usually as long as it will decompile you can find a fix. You can add xmls to values that were not there to begin with.
We have had projects where we have added numerous ids, xmls to existing system apps. Usually when you are building ids and values you just follow the errors and keep fixing until it compiles.

But what I mean is I have no idea where the source of those missing styles from those two xml files are. Without randomly decompiling other system files until I find their source, it would be a bit difficult to add them.

Yes for some reason it is erroring out. But you can see that a lot of the errors are missing references in styles. So you just add the reference.

I'm afraid I don't think we're understanding each other on this. I get that I need to add the missing references. But other than "style/SystemBarNotificationText" etc. I have no information about what is missing or what files the styles are in. How can I add references for them, surely I don't have enough information to do so?

Where the text style is referenced in an xml in layout. Just delete it and write in a reference in the xml itself. Styles are easy to delete or reroute

Guys...
It is very simple to solve this problem, just add the sign + before any style error " @style/..."
Example:
@style/SystemBarNotificationText becomes + @style/SystemBarNotificationText
etc...
More information here, thanks connor.tumbleson

Thanks, and I saw another of connor.tumbleson's replies on the apktool bug tracker explains how to do a "proper" fix too. Worth knowing for theming perfectionists
The correct fix is to move the "private extended" styles into that applications styles.xml. You can look at AOSP styles.xml to get the list of those styles which are private. Then simply add them into that APKs styles and all should work. This was tested and worked with the problematic apks.
Apktool isn't met to "fix" apks. As AAPT becomes more restrictive, Apktool will become more difficult to use. These APKs that have this problem were obviously built with an older AAPT before this was enforced. So this actually is NOT an apktool problem. Just a problem building old vs new aapt.
I am writing a good deal of documentation to explain stuff like this for 2.0, but this bug in particular is not really a bug, but a feature request to somehow automatically re-map privately extended styles automatically into the local styles.

How ?

check res/values/strings.xml
look for app_ops_settings_summary
you might see 2 values for the same strings, delete the one you made, and keep the original one!
(if you didn't know which one, just delete one of them)
go to res\xml\general_headers.xml
search for this line: drawable/ic_settings_applicationpermissions
and change the icon..
if you see at the end of the xml file, there are few icons for application manager and settings, just copy one drawable/ic_*************
and use it for app ops
and then try to compile again.
