And systemui/res\values doesnt look right

Systemui/res/values

Somethin funy going on with the /\ not a valid directory. / /

I have all the updated stuff and tried wanam's . Like I said I completely uninstalled and reinstalled the sdk and apktool files.
I've tried apktool b SystemUI.API, apktool -f........., but it won't matter if I can't decompile correctly right?
All of this is from the ROM I'm using(appdroids) and I've also tried to do a stock from with the same results.
I've put everything in my C:\ directory like every tutorial I've watched or read said to do. That's why I can't understand what I'm doing wrong.
I also have Ubuntu dual booted on my computer and still can't get it to work.

I really wanna figure this stuff out because I would love to start a ROM of my own.

The funny \ in the dir name is from not putting the new aapt into autoapktool dir.... I was getting that on recompile

pretty sure you don't want to sign system apks. If you're useing the Autoapktool sean posted here, then after you choose option 11 to compile, it will ask you if it is a system app. you say yes. It will ask if you about using other files you did not edit, you say yes. It will generate a folder called "keep." Go to the keep folder and delete every file you edited and leave everything else. If you made any xml edits, then delete resources.arsc too. Then go back to the prompt and hit enter. It will create an unsigned apk.

Now, I dunno if this is necessary if you made sure to set compression level to zero but sean recommended this and it's worked for me. You right click on the new unsigned apk, and extract it with 7zip. Go into the extracted directory. Highlight everything and right-click > Add to Archives. In the winrar window that comes up select zip, change compression method to "Store", remove the "unsigned" part of the file name and change the end of it from zip to apk. Done.

roughneckboren - I was having a similar issue when I was trying to decompile Systemui.apk's from the UCALC4 roms as well. I have no clue if this will help you, but what worked for me was saving the apktool.jar from the folder downloaded from Wanam to another name (I used apktool.jar.bak) and then copied the apktool.jar from apktool 1.4.2 and dropped it into the folder. At that point I was able to decompile the SystemUI.apk and modify it however I wanted. When finished, and before compiling, I just renamed the apktool.jar from 1.4.2 and named the original from Wanam back.

This only happened to me on UCALC4 roms and I haven't had a single issue with the UCLD2 roms that I have edited. Again, I have no clue if this is going to help you but it is what worked for me so I figured there is no harm in at least mentioning it...

Hope you get it figured out, or have already. Good luck! Also, thanks to Sean, Silver and the rest of everyone else here on the forums for getting this information out to everyone!

Hey im actually having this problem here using your manager.
