great error description.
what's the error msg?

Did you use the search function? Other users had similiar problems before. So try this e.g.

Have a look here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1427959

It seems that apktool 1.4.3 has problems with the ics framework. So use 1.4.2 instead.

EDIT: Same Link

apk manager works fine,

you have to replace "AndroidManifest.xml" and the folder "META-INF" in recompiled unsigned apk with the files of the original one

edit: if you have error messages while recompile, just look in the log.txt

F:\Program Files\apkmanager>

It is the error log. Im using apktool v 1.4.2

Did you decompile the file freshly after installing 1.4.2? Otherwise the error may still be existent.

How about aapt? According to this issue thread, there may be problems with old versions http://code.google.com/p/android-apk.../detail?id=282
