@BDFreak Really awesome tool, been using this one for several months now and never encountered an issue. :)
However, trying to install an Android 5.1 framework fails with the following error:

Code: 
RSCDecoder.java:78)
        at brut.androlib.res.decoder.ARSCDecoder.decode(ARSCDecoder.java:47)
        at brut.androlib.res.decoder.ARSCDecoder.decode(ARSCDecoder.java:39)
        at brut.androlib.res.AndrolibResources.installFramework(AndrolibResources.java:662)
        at brut.androlib.res.AndrolibResources.installFramework(AndrolibResources.java:644)
        at brut.androlib.Androlib.installFramework(Androlib.java:636)
        at brut.apktool.Main.cmdInstallFramework(Main.java:240)
        at brut.apktool.Main.main(Main.java:87)

Unfortunately, as the window size is locked I can't see the whole error message..
Would be great if you could fix this one! :)

Anyway, thanks for this great tool mate! :good:

If you delete the png in sw360dp, your framework should compile fine. Deleting this image probably won't cause issues because it is still included elsewhere.

I have this same issue with systemui.apk. Also if i decompile secsettings.apk i get the same thing but no response to touch either. I dont get any errors when recompiling either. Even if I leave them untouched and recompile i get the same result. Every thing else I have decompile and recompile works fine. I have noticed if i zip the files and flash them in recovery over existing rom they work fine but if I backup with twrp and then restore its back to no lockscreen, status bar, or touch response. Glad to see im not the only one.
