recompiling settings.apk help - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need help recompiling the settings.apk of android 4.3 sony stock rom. (.101)
This is what I've done so far:
C:\Users\Alex\apktooljb>apktool if framework-res.apk
I: Framework installed to: C:\Users\Alex\apktool\framework\1.apk
C:\Users\Alex\apktooljb>apktool if SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
I: Framework installed to: C:\Users\Alex\apktool\framework\2.apk
C:\Users\Alex\apktooljb>apktool d settings.apk
I: Baksmaling...
I: Loading resource table...
I: Loaded.
I: Decoding AndroidManifest.xml with resources...
I: Loading resource table from file: C:\Users\Alex\apktool\framework\1.apk
I: Loaded.
I: Regular manifest package...
I: Decoding file-resources...
I: Decoding values */* XMLs...
I: Loading resource table from file: C:\Users\Alex\apktool\framework\2.apk
I: Loaded.
I: Done.
I: Copying assets and libs...
That works to decompile the settings.apk
now I need to recompile the settings.apk but I keep getting this error everytime:

DONE!
if someone could point out were im going wrong that would be great
Yes..i too had that problem earlier..don't know why.. but got it only when decompiling JB 4.2.2 framework-res.apk..
Well i'll reasearch again n tell u..
Have you tried compiling without making any changes to ensure it works fine? It could be a bug with the program as the above Guy said, you could be trying to compile a 4.2 apk which sometimes causes errors..
Because I am seeing so many damn errors in there that I can't believe it..
Thanks for the ffeed back.. Yes i did try without editibg stuff and yes it worked. Its the framework from ics aosp

trouble compiling apk file

Hello to all.
* Sorry for my bad English
Practically I have problems, I'm trying to edit the files,
as the framewrok-res.apk and systemui.apk
I note always problems, because sometimes I can compile it yourself, but do not go on your smartphone, sometimes apktool I do not fill out the application.
apktool gives me this error:
