I have been playing arround with the issue of not being able to decompile the apks from OS 3.32 roms.
The issue seems to be when decompiling the systemui.apk you are getting the following errors:

This points to erros in Backsmaling and the backsmali files being too old. I then hunted arround and found a neat little tool to deompile apks and the jar files to make them editable. This did not work either giving me the same error. I then found an update backsmali.jar and smali.jar ver 1.3.2 from here: and it decompiled the systemui.apk perfectly.
Can we intergrate the newer versions of the smali 1.3.2 files into apk manager to decompile ICS roms? This is a bit beyond me!
Progress update:
Ok I have download the source apktool using ubuntu. The next stage is to download API15 and add it into the source then rebuild, but not sure how to do that yet. I know I have API15 on my Windows PC but dont know what files I need to update apktool to API15. Will keep working on it though!
Yep, it's a problem right now. Check out this issue:

Someone posted a hacked apktool.jar which seems to work but I'm not sure if I trust the results.

Can I ask why you do not trust the results?
I have tried with the hacked version and so far I am now able to decompile and compile the systemui.apk with out any problems! But still got errors compiling framework-res.apk so still some issues there! All I did was modify value.xml file to enable crt animation!
Hi, for to decompile all apk must remove classes.dex from this apk and decompile with apktool1.4.2.....after compile with 1.4.3 and reinsert classes.dex into the apk
same problem with me,also looking for help.

In this way,decomplie is ok,but re-complie still has problem
I ive noticed that you cant compile with this just yet. Looks as if we are going to have to wait for a rebuilt tool!
From what I can see the current apktool.jar was built with API14. ICS 4.03 is built with API15. What we need is to have the apktool.jar updated with API5. This involves building the apktool from source which I believe is available but I dont know how to do this

I don't know either
Unfortunately I chose to learn flash ActionScript 2 years ago (it was useful at the time - I had Samsung Tocco Lite and made flash themes for it) but since moving to Android I realised flash doesn't do a lot of good when working with java so at some point I really need to learn java

I dont know what to do here, I have updated my sdk, made sure i installed theright framework. done everything from replacing the aapt file to replacing the apktool file. Its ridiculous that compiling the SystemUI.apk has to be this difficult, if it can be decompiled easily why cant the reverse be just as simple??
I cant get SystemUI.apk to compile, it starts the process then just errors out.
Has anybody found a workaround for this? Updating my SDK and aapt and apktool didn't work for me.

It looks as if we need to download the source of apktool from git. Add in API15 and the updated smali and backsmali tools, then recompile the apk tool. Unfortunitly this is a little out of my leauge.
If anybody is able to do this it would be awsome!
Out of my skill range as well

Do you think it would be possible to simply edit the pngs of systemui without decompiling and recompiling by taking out the .9 pngs to edit those with the .9 editor?

Maybe PM leedroid, I think he already done it but I'm not sure so don't take that as gospel truth, just he hinted at it in a post

Hi all

I hope someone can help me.
thanks all
Thanks all for your help
I've resolved my problem
Hi Everyone ! I tried to decompile and compile the systemUI apk using AndroidMultitool ! Decompiling went smoothly, but when I recompiled it, it gave many errors that I don't know as I am a bit new to these things ! Please see the log attched and the folder I want to recompile and help me out ! I edited this apk for adding the 4.2 quick toggles in 4.1 (Embryo 7) ! Just followed the steps from somewhere !
Probably used the wrong framework-res ... this may help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951867
Also, smali editing is the devil's work. Best of luck there.
I just used the framework-res of mohan's Embryo 7 and systemUI too ? Also I just followed the instructions of a page where it tought me how to add quick toggles !!
