Help, any alternative to apktool

Hi can anyone suggest an alternative tool for apktool. It just doesn't work for me. Whatever I do either gives compiling errors or just a bootloop. Thanks guys.
It's nice to know I'm not the only one. Anything past extract optimize and zip is useless for me. I have never had it actually compile an .apk without an error.
I'm having serious problems compiling the framework-res from a CM6.1 based ROM. It decompiles fine, but won't recompile I get hundreds of errors about missing referances.
I only wanna edit a few XML's :sad:

Which xmls do you want to edit, and what are you wanting to change?

Thanks for replying, but I worked it out. I had some dodgy .9.png's that were breaking the compile, so I just had to remove them before compiling.
For anyone else having trouble, check the logs after you decompile to see if there are any messages about .9.pngs. If there are, remove them from the decompiled folder, compile when you are finished, then just add the .9.png's back in afterwards with WinRAR.
I was tryna change the color of the text and the border in the bottom popup menu for my Gingerbread theme

The reason that happens is the original "dev" who themed the framework did not decompile/modify/recompile. He merely dragged and dropped the modified .9.png
Hence when u decompile, apktool cannot find the necessarry data within resources.arsc to decompile the .9.png and hence when u go to recompile, it complains. Ur safest bet is to always decompile an apk as close to stock as possible.
Where do you place your framework-res.apk I placed mine in the platform tools folder but apktool can not find it

SGS2 transparent statusbar: help me

Ok so I tried to make the statusbar transparent with UOT kitchen like for all the phones I had before, but this time it won't work!
I did a little search and found that it could be the status_bar.xml file that is responsible of that, blocking the statusbar to a black code color.
So I changed it toward a definite file as mentioned in a topic, my problem is that I am new to apktool
The apk didn't decompile completly so I can't recompile it.
So I am attaching the systemui.apk and xml file I edited, can you check it up and recompile this xml (if good) with the systemui.apk please??

[Q] Application Modding/Decompiling Help

For the last 12 hours I have been trying to decompile and edit the strings of this equalizer app (attached) to suit my theme. I have tried apkedit and apk manager but ended up with errors and only half the smali files have been extracted. Somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong and if you're feeling extra generous, decompile and send the files.
Sorry if I'm asking too much
Thank in advance

How to remove carrier name ?

Does anyone know how to remove from the system tray carrier name ?
If you can edit the systemui.apk after deodexing, it should be easy for you.
Unfortunately it was not possible for me, to deodex our systemui.apk.
The downloadable edited systemui.apk of the p6 is running, if you rename the original systemui.apk and systemui.odex.
But after that you will miss some taskbar functions.

Its working, thanks:good: I used the apk from first post
I made a simple tutorial here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/development/guide-how-to-remove-carrier-tray-t2843461
The systemui.apk from #10 has a house instead of a huawei logo for home.
If you donĀ“t rename systemui.odex, you will get a lot of systemui error messages and it would be difficult, to fix it.
The better way is to edit the original systemui.apk.
Since this is working well, am I able to deodex this SystemUI and make my own changes? Couldn't deodex the original SystemUI.
...
i cannot get it working. all i see is black window when i restart. what deodoxing means? wut
