Sounds like you have either an older aapt, or an older apktool version. Make sure you're using apktool 1.5.2, and the aapt from the newest sdk.
Here is a link to apktool
https://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
I attached the newest aapt for windows below. Just unzip it, and put the aapt.exe in your apktool folder.
I was getting the same errors when decompiling and Gunthermic fixed my issue. I needed the apktool_1.5.2.jar file (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1755243) then it decompiled without error.

Thanks for that. I wish I knew how to mod that slightly. I'm no graphics guy, so don't want to mess around with .png files, but if it's just hex color codes in a config file that I could edit in a text editor, I'd be down for tweaking that.
I appreciate the help! I did use this file, but the actual problem was that I needed a different apktool.jar file. I really appreciate your help though!

Thank you! That was the problem! I appreciate it!
Sorry to be so noob-ish, but I need just a bit more help...whenever I try to re-compile my modified APK (SystemUI), I get the attached errors.

Got 2 questions for everyone. I'm new to TW and have seen a few changes in 4.2.2 as well as how sammy does things. First..has anyone figured out how to get a themed status bar working? @drawable/statusbar_background isn't working in either of the res/values/drawables sections Secondly..this has to be a 4.2.2 change because it is happening in CM as well as Liquid AOSP. I'm looking for the BG for the clock on the notification screen. It is overriding a portion of the Nav bar.

Go back one page an read my post. Its #36.
Oh! Ok! Do I have to do that with every single one of the things in the file since it's throwing errors on all of them? Or is there just one that I have to do?
THANK YOU!! Really man, thanks a lot. I finally got it to compile. I might've accidentally put some +'s on ones that didn't need them. Will that hurt anything? Thanks for being so patient with me though!
As long as your not using those xml's, it shouldn't. I always use 7zip to move whatever I changed from the apk in the dist folder into the original apk.
Awesome. I usually do the same. Now, as far as actual theming goes (not just using apktool), do you know where the PNG's are to change the toggles for mute, vibrate, and sound are in the phone options dialog? I'm talking about when you hold the power button down and have the options to restart or shut down etc.. I want to change the green on those toggles to match my ICS blue. Thanks man. You're helping me out a lot.
In the dropdown? Check res/vslues/drawables. Most of the HEXs to edit are in there

Well that's the first thing that pops into mind. I never looked into it, but it's def a xml edit, for sure.

I have been working on my ASU theme and have had a lot of folks ask me how to change the text color in the settings menu.
So far I have found the right side text colors here. smali/com/sec/android/app/camera/glwidget/ two smali files.
1. TwGLItemDataText.smali
Look for:
# direct methods
.method static constructor <clinit>()V
.locals 3
.prologue
const/16 v2, 0xff
Change 0xff to your desired color.
2. TwGLItemThumbnailText.smali
Look for :
# direct methods
.method static constructor <clinit>()V
.locals 2
.prologue
const/16 v1, 0xff
Change 0xff to your desired color.
Compile and enjoy!3Brightness Animation color 4.3 Squashed
Gents the Brightness Animation Color has now been squashed.
Go to SystemUI\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\Anim atedBrightnessIconView.smali
Look for:
.line 73
iget-object v0, p0, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/AnimatedBrightnessIconView;->mPaint:Landroid/graphics/Paint;
const v1, -0x3a1f17
Change -0x3a1f17 to your desired smali color code!!!!
Enjoy!!!3Here's a quick tutorial to update themes to 4.4 from 4.3.
1. Change all folders with 359 to 360.
2. Rename clock and contacts to " "_OSup.apk
3. In systemui; rename ic_notify_edit_normal.png, ic_notify_open_normal.png, ic_notify_quicksettings_normal.png, ic_notify_settings_normal.png to jbp_ic_notify_" "_normal.png
4. All aosp menus are now in drawable-xxhdpi. They are larger .9s so they need to be redone or they'll look bad.
5. Move respective apk folders to priv-app.
6. Tw app background is now an xml in drawable folder. It's the same as before but the tw_app_background no longer applies. [You can do a gradient with the xml. Copy and paste holo menu color text line to tw bg xml. Haven't achieved transparency yet]
Added
7. Rename ic_settings_airplanemode to " "_airplane_mode
8. Framework\drawable-xxhdpi tw_ic_lock_easymode for power menu
9. Added icon in settings\xxhdpi ic_settings_launch_apps and an add account icon.
Please add to this if I've missed something. This is all in reference to mainly png folders. I'm not sure about what xml or smali or whatever else might of changed.
