I'm not having any trouble with decompiling, but after making the necessary changes to bools and array, I can not get it to recompile.

What am I doing wrong here?

to decompile....

Code:
apktool d framework-res.apk
....make the changes, then...

Code:
apktool b framework-res
and i get this:

Code:
c:\apktool>apktool b framework-res.apk

Any help would be much appreciated.

Same here, getting the same error when recompiling it -_- 3 people have told me it's because aapt isn't the ICS version but I updated it 3 times and even asked someone to upload and I get that same error.

Yep, i did the same thing with aapt. I triple and quadruple checked that it was the ICS compatible version, but still no dice.

I don't know. I'm still patiently waiting for a proper developer to throw together a version for the Incredible that has the on screen nav buttons since i know next to nothing about this stuff, but seriously, this process looks so simple yet I'm having so much trouble with it.

Even if i did get it to compile, I'd be stuck because adb never wants to push or pull files from my phone.

You can always copy it over and set permissions (although it usually crashes before you can), or put it in an update.zip. The update.zip method is my favorite.

How does that work? Sorry, I'm pretty new to all of this. Do I just zip up the framework apk, name it update.zip, then flash it in CWM? Or is there more to it?

If it's that easy, that would be awesome, if only I could get the apk to compile.

I'm so frustrated with this that I'm about willing to offer a donation to someone who could do it for me, although it would be much more satisfying if I could get it done on my own. Maybe I could give a donation to someone who could successfully walk me through it. The offers out there of anyone wants to take it.

Were you able to get it to work with that?

I found a work around two days ago. I took the customized XML files and put them in a Metamorph zip file. I ran it and it successfully changed framework-res.apk but the navigation buttons still wouldn't show. Now, I don't know much about this, so I'm not sure if doing it that way should have worked, but if it should have, it didn't, which would mean the instructions in the first post are incomplete.

I'm doing this on my Incredible, so maybe the ROM I'm using is missing something else. I have no idea. I've tried it on three different ICS ROMs and it didn't work on any of them.

When I get a chance, I'll try it with the new aapt.

Thanks for that new aapt, it works. It recompiled everything, but the file size is 4mb smaller than the original framework-res.apk. I get nothing but bootloops now. I also compiled with APK Multi Tool which also worked, but with the same results - bootloops.

Would it be possible to enable the soft buttons on a gingerbread ROM?

I highly doubt it, enough to confidently say no.
