HELP from an experienced THEMER/DEV

I am trying to compile contacts.apk (from Galaxy SII TouchWiz 4.0) and I cannot do it.
I'm using APK Manager 5.0
I install the proper framework, it decompiles successfully but it won't re-compile. I'm only changing one text color in colors.xml
I have attached the error log file.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I'm guess I'm not experienced enough to see the errror log...

[help] cant recompile apk

Hi Im using cm10.1 on my desire s.
I'm using latest apktool. I'm trying to mod in call screen to make more transparent I did found out how to do it thanks to XDA.
but when I recompile it I got error as in screenshot.
I installed framework-res.apk from my rom and decompiled phone.apk
than I edited Phone\res\layout\in_call_screenui.xml that's it.
when I try to recomple it. I get errors in Phone\values\strings.xml which I didn't even edited. I don't get error in every values folder though.
so what am I doing wrong here? can any1 help please?

You may need to install another resource apk, look in your framework folder for one and retrace your steps to make sure you didn't miss anything.

[Q] The resources.arsc of framework-res is not recompiling with APK Multitool

Hi there
I am facing a strange problem. I am decompiling resources.arsc using APK Multitool (from official site) with no problems. I then change a few colors in res\values\colors.xml. Then I recompile and delete the resources.arsc from the keep folder as instructed. The apk colpiles ok but to my surprise there is no change in the colors. I decompile it again only to find that the changes i made have been reverted.
Amusingly enough I tried APK Multitool Stable Release from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341351 And it recompiles fine and even the resources.arsc is changes (via time stamp and size) but the framework-res when pushed through adb causes bootloop.
I am stuck at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am on a Micormax A52 with Gingerbread 2.3.7 (Stock).
Thank You
