I am trying to add 1% battery mod to my ROM. I decompiled my SystemUI.apk perfectly with the latest version of apktool. I modified the files I needed then I went to recompile using
Code: 
apktool b -f -d SystemUI.apk SystemUI-new.apk
Here's (poor) screenshots of my errors:

I tried manually installing apktool in /usr/local/bin and I also tried Apk-Multi-Tool version 2.0. I'm running the latest version of Mint (17 I believe) and everything is up to date, including Java JRE. I cannot find any related help on Google so any help that u can give is greatly appreciated. Thx :)

your error says your lacking of resourses., you need to install also your framework_res.apk, then try to decompile/recompile., :)

edit: you can use this awesome tool to decimpile/compile apk or even deodexing., :) Tickle My Android (TMA) by @Ticklefish here: :)

Say my name and I appear... ;)

It's hard to know quite what the problem is here as the screenshots are missing most of the error message. Including the first error, which is often the key to solving the problem.

By the looks of things though, I would say that you haven't added your png files. These error messages are all saying that you have a reference to image files in your xml..but no actual image files.

(Oh, and TMA isn't available on Linux...yet. But if the OP has access to a Windows PC, I can definitely suggest it!)

Fixed one issue, now I got these:

You should never modify the public.xml file...

I'll be honest, it's really hard to tell what's going just from screenshots of part of the error. Can you provide the entire error message please? And it would help if you're able to provide the screen output from when you decompiled as well.

What type of phone/rom are you using?
