Decompiling CM12S APK Files - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am having some issues getting CM12S apk files decompiled. I am a pretty experienced when it comes to this kind of stuff but for whatever reason I cannot get it to properly function.
I decompile the Settings.apk file from CM12S and all goes well and all, but when I push it to the device it just crashes immediately and displays the generic android icon. It is not the modifications I have done because I have tested just decompiling and recompiling the apk to see if it would work and no luck :/

[Q] [HELP]xml editing with apk manager

ok, i must be missing something here. can anyone one help? everytime i decompile an apk, i'll open the xml i want to make changes to and make the necessary changes. i then recompile the apk. i flash the file to my phone and no changes have been made. because of this i have pulled the same apk back from the phone that i modified, decompiled it and none of the xml changes i made are incorporated.
i've tried removing the resources.arsc as the instructions say and i just get bootloops after flashing. when leaving the resources.arsc the phone boots and no xml changes are made.
can someone help me out with this?

Help with compiling apk for framework-res

I have been trying to modify the framework-res.apk to create a custom theme, but every time I would end up in a bootloop, so I did some digging and what I have found is that the file size of the original framework-res.apk is 9.32mb. Once I rebuild it whether I modified anything or not the rebuilt .apk is only 7.34mb. Upon further inspection it seems to leave out all of the "value" named folders from the newly built .apk, and it does this whether I use APKTool or APK Manager(even though I say keep files). Has anyone else had this problem?? Anyone have a solution??

apktool issue

Okay so here is my issue. im de-compiling and compiling fine with no errors. but when i push to the phone for instance SysemUI.apk i lose my status bar. i have all my frameworks installed and have used apktool's ranging from 1.3.0 -1.4.3.
Im not changing the apk etither just decompile , compile and push.
The final apk is generally bigger also.

[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

[Q] Recompile 4.2.2 Framework-res.apk

Hi i am trying to perform some mods on framework-res.apk.
I am using deodex I9105PXXUBMI3_I9105POXXBMJ1_I9105PXXUBMI1_HOME that i deodexed using Pandas guide in the other forum.
I can decompile it without problems but when i try to recompile it even without changing anything i get a lot of erros. Tried to update aapt.exe use diffrent version of apktool, apkmanger and so on but still no luck. Searched both the forum and the web for answer but nothing have worked for me.
Tried to run apk if framework-res.apk and same with twframework and tried without.
No luck.
Below is the log and the framework-res.apk file does anyone know why i get this errors.
Framework-res.apk https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38268704/delat/framework-res.apk
Edit: temporally solved it by adding a + sign before the missing layouts as described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41563695&postcount=31
apperently i did not search well enough. But it feels like it should exist a better solution
