At present there is only one decompilation and recompilation tool called apktool by brut.
But there are many derived programs which use apktool and have a GUI.
e.g APK Manager, APK Multitool, APK Easy manager etc.

Hi.
I have tried many times decompile this apk with many versions of apktools but without success. Every tool "speak" something about wrong framework version. How can i decompile this apk without errors?

Windows : C:\Users\Your-User-Name\apktool\framework
Linux: Extract to /home/apktool/framework
Also if you use framework-res / lge-res from the rom with the SystemUI.apk you want to edit you can use
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
to generate frameworks. Do not forget to Copy META-INF + AndroidManifest.xml from Original apk to the edited one without them PackageManagerService will Reject the apk:good:
Thanks defcomg
edit
properly decompiled with your framework files, thanks again.

How do I get apktool working on android ? Where do I download latest working version ? I had apktool working but now I flashed custom rom and I installed it again and it won't work. It won't install framework and doesn't decompile the whole app
code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
Yes, it wont decompile whole app successfully sometimes, so it's better to edit the smali code which can be wholly decompiled successfully.
Hope this can help you

When I try recomepile it won't do it
I think the files in your link is not apktool...
Apktool is a jar file for decompiling and recompiling apks.
Use with cmd, example:
apktool.jar d filetobedecompile.apk
apktool.jar if frameworktobeinstall.apk
apktool.jar b filetoberecompile
It's definitely not an apk so far, so you should go to the official page on google code and download the official jar file.
Hope this can help you. Hit thanks!

Are those commands I can use in terminal emulator ? Does it change a jar file to apk or let me run jar files ? I don't know how to get terminal emulator working. I tried a java app that says it can run java files but the app wouldn't run. @henry0504

Do you know any other way ? I tried different apps that are suppose to run Java apps and they close when I try running the app or I couldn't get it to run the java app.

I don't get what you really mean, but you can try JBED for running java file on Android.
But I strongly recommend you to use computer to decompile apks. If you don't have one, you can't decompile apks and use apktool.

That app isn't bad. I like zarchiver, app better
I was recently looking for system ui smali mods and I came across this apk tool app and I thought I would share it, I think it works good so far but your working with a smaller screen other wise its really nice
Download: ApkTool v4.7.apk
Update fix for Lollipop Roms :ApkToolUpdate.zip
Instructions :
After you install the apk be sure to go to your Framework apks and hit import framework before you do anything
Also Copy system apks to SD card or you with get decompile errors
If you have problems with decompiling system apps on Lollipop flash update zip that has updated jars
You shouldn't have any problems with kit kat though I believe so no need to flash update.zip
Flash via FlashFire
And Finally Enjoy

I would normally use the computer Verison of apk tool and then use note pad ++ for looking at the xml files

Try Axel on the playstore. You can view and edit.
Documentation on this app is hard to find
Documentation on this app is hard to find, did you write this? From what I can gather it turns your active rom into a rom package for redistribution? I'm assuming that's what they mean by create rom? Who wrote this gem? Amazing app
