Whenever I'm editing my SystemUI.apk and I replace the old one with my new one, its always FCs. Can anyone tell me how to edit the SystemUI.apk with no errors?

Sorry if this is a duplicate or in the wrong place, but i cant find any solutions.
I am having trouble recompiling the settings.apk. I decompile it without problems but the apk can't recompile unless I paste in the .arsc file from the stock apk (by unziping). The problem is that when I edit the xml, it needs to make a new .arsc file since I edited xml within the layout folder.
I am using apktool and have had no problems with other apk files. This is on the Samsung galaxy player 5.0 USA.
Another note, if I decompile, put in the resources.arsc file, and recompile, the new apk file is smaller. In addition, if I unzip the recompiled apk I can edit the xml w/o a problem. This is weird because when I unzip the stock settings.apk the xml files are un-readable.
Any Ideas about what I am doing wrong?
Sorry for being a noob.

Hello guys, im editing Systemui.apk because i hate verizon icons
and i dont know which folder i need to change the png's or just change all images on all folders.
I have edited then I opened both the new Settings.apk and the original Settings.apk using 7zip. then just simply drag & dropped the resource file from the new one to the original. & then I replaced that original settings.apk in my phone using root explorer and modified permission to 644. The settings is there in the drawer but when I'm tapping it ,it crashing only... Even the gear icon is also not showing,....
I didnt changed anything in the Settings.apk rather than some string values in Strings.xml file.
Please help me if..
I'm running into an issue when modifying the systemui.apk to remove S Finder and Quick Connect from the notification area. I decompile, edit, recompile, and replace the file. When I reboot my wallpaper is gone and the notification won't pull down. I'm only changing one line. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I'm running a stock deodexed rom.
Thanks
I am trying to modify the values/array.xml in my framework-res.xml file to fix the wakelock issue. After recompiling I get a bootloop.
I used apktool 2
I am on 44s.
What I did was following:
Decompile framework-res.apk
modify values/array.xml
recompile apk
Take old META-INF and copy it to the new new apk.
Some of the instructions I have read seem to say copy AndroidManifest.xml to the new apk. However I believe the new APK has a modified AndroidManifest.xml due to changes I made for the wakelock issue therefore I can't overwrite it.
Any advice would be appreciated..

how were you able to recompile it, i cant even recompile it
i m getting this error
Code:
brut.androlib.AndrolibException: brut.common.BrutException: could not exec (exit code = 1)
and which framework-res did you install to decompile and recompile the same apk.
