Hello! Need some help with apktool.

Hello! I'm new to the forum and a casual android modder. I've really enjoyed digging into the Android world and have learned a lot from the forum. I was working with apktool and ran into a bit of a problem. I searched and found a post indicating that the environmental variables had to be tweaked which I did but this did not resolve the problem.
Thanks in advance,
-Adam

I also need some help with apktool. I'm trying to get into changing xml files on my Droid X. I've been able to successfully use the tool to decode apk files but i've heard that you can use it to decode xml files. Every time I try to do that though I get an error.
Included is a capture of the code I type in and the erros i'm getting with the xml file. I am trying to manipulate the simple eri.xml file that Verizon uses.

@adam-c
Could you upload original apk and zipped dir with decoded app? What is in these drawable-mdpi/status_bar_header_background.9.png, etc. files in decoded app? Are there both status_bar_header_background.9.png and status_bar_header_background.png (without ".9") files, but first one is empty or what?
@homes315
For now you can't decode single xml file - decode whole apk instead.

I have been searching for two days, and have tried everything I could find to figure this out, to no avail.
Could someone please help me get the apktool working on my computer?
when I enter apktool I get:
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/object
From what I can tell I have my CLASSPATH and PATH set up correctly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, I am running Windows 7 64bit

Can anyone tell me how to fix this ? :/

You seem to have a typo somewhere as the "_INP UT_APK" folder should not have a blank in it.

[SOLVED] Framework Wont compile. even without change, please help. im stumped

SOLVED
ok i did it kinda
i deleted anything that had to do with these lines

in the values folders. and kept deleting any line that got in my way *apktoool gave me other new errors* , this is un usable *it wont boot your device* but it compiles and decompiles without problems, after your done, just transfer the
edited files to the original apk with winrar. and use "store" for compression method
i spent like 4 hours on that. thats sad, anyways,

@op copy the drawable-ldrtl-hdpi somewhere and delete the folder from decompile directory and then compile back. After compiling, again copy back that folder. Another solution is , push the framework2 as well and then try compiling back. Also plurals needs to be corrected! OR UPDATE the aapt file to the latest from the android sdk
edit: ideleted entire layout folder before decompiling and after compiling back, i again placed that folder in decompiled apk. I need to check whether it really it works or not by taking backup!

Take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2259308

[Q] No matter what I do I get UOT Kitchen SHTF error

Hello everyone
I'm really at my wit's end with the UOT Kitchen here. I've uploaded 3 different Framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk from the different ROMS available for my phone (LG Optimus Slider running 2.3.4) and I get the SHTF error each time. I've never had any trouble with UOTK before, granted it was about a year ago that I used it last. Did something change with it?
So I installed Xposed (for Gingerbread) thinking it would work better. Nope. When I try to install the UOT apk it won't install and spits out an error message about "Not being able to parse"
I've never had a problem using the UOTK before. Could somebody please tell me what's going wrong?
