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:

C:\Users\Alex\apktooljb>apktool b Settings SettingsNew.apk
I: Using Apktool 2.0.0-Beta7 on Settings
I: Checking whether sources has changed...
