[Resolved] Newsbie question: apktool - recompiled binary is not installable

Hi,
first of all sorry for posting in a new thread, but I'm not allowed to post in apktool-thread (to few postings).
I'm trying to edit permissions of apk's with apktool.
Code:
C:\temp\android\apktool>apktool d -s -f "n:\Cut the Rope - Android\cut-the-rope.apk" test
I: Copying raw classes.dex file...
I: Loading resource table...
I: Loaded.
I: Loading resource table from file: C:\Users\Carsten\apktool\framework\1.apk
I: Loaded.
I: Decoding file-resources...
I: Decoding values*/* XMLs...
I: Done.
I: Copying assets and libs...
No, errors.
I reassemble it unmodified.
Code:
C:\temp\android\apktool>apktool b test test.apk
I: Copying classes.dex file...
I: Checking whether resources has changed...
I: Building resources...
I: Copying libs...
I: Building apk file...
No, errors.
Installing the file
Code:
F:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb install c:test.apk
2327 KB/s (2931257 bytes in 1.230s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/c:test.apk
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
gives an error.
Code:
$logcat *:e
/PackageParser( 460): Package com.feelingtouch.physical has no certificates at entry assets/font/Plok.ttf; ignoring!
Any ideas what's wrong?
greetings
Carsten

found the solution. All packages have to be signed, even if they are installed via adb.
Debug test signing is enough:
Code:
jarsigner -verbose -keystore C:\Users\Carsten\.android\debug.keystore -storepass android c:test.apk androiddebugkey

Decompiling Settings.apk on Xperia V - Android 4.3

I'm using android 4.3 stock version of framework-res.apk to decompile Settings.apk but Apktool 1.5.2 & Apktool 2.0 beta are giving me this error :
"Can't find framework resources for package of id: 2. You must install proper framework files, see project website for more info."
any help ?

Found the Problem & fixed apktool
apparently I needed to install SemcGenericUxpRes.apk before decompiling the Settings.apk file, another problem presented itself at this point..
installing SemcGenericUxpRes.apk using apktool 2.0 beta 7 resulted an error :

so I did some research and fixed the 'Multiple types' bug in apktool (I'll attach the fixed version at the end of the post) ,and now every thing worked just fine ^_^
