[?] ParanoidAndroid port, possible?

It's been ported to the Atrix4G so I figured why not try dx2, and I'm using the A4G ROM in porting. I've been following the instructions here and keep getting hung up on rebuilding the modified framework-res.apk with apktool. The error I'm getting is in the attachments.

My process up to this point is:
- decompile framework-res.apk from PA and our CM9 rom.
- combine framework-res/res/values/ and framework-res/res/xml/ from CM9 to PA folder
- this is where rebuilding the apk fails...

Does anyone know anything about porting that can help? I feel like a lack of knowledge is my problem here.

I have nothing to contribute to this other than a simple good luck. It would be cool to have another option for this phone.

Questions should be asked in Q&A forums, not Development forums.

Looks pretty straight forward if you are following the instructions here.

Just be real careful with the merge and edits.
Just as a test, does your build work if you do not modify the original framework-res.apk from PA?

Yeah that's the guide I was using but kept getting hung up on rebuilding the modified framework-res.apk. Haven't tried without making any framework-res changes, I figured that was crucial.

always a good idea to test your build environment on a known good file set.

You're already talking over my head ha, but yeah I do plan to dive back into this soon. If nothing else to learn some of the more technical sides of android. Also going to be running Linux alongside windows soon, may just wait until I get that up and running.

i'd try using the original framework first and then trying to flash it to the dx2 like that. If anything you'd have to update the updater-script and build.prop first before it worked, but it'd be worth a try at least. I haven't messed with the dx2 too much for a while now, but I know for porting ROMs to the samsung fascinate I have to do a bunch of edits & then I have to get data to properly work right (which I'm not sure how to do). So I'd keep trying and keep trying because that'd honestly bring another ROM to the dx2.
I may try and port a rom to the dx2 in the near future, but idk yet.

EDIT: if you need a tester also hit me up on here [pm] or twitter [@ztotherad], my dx2 doesnt have data atm, but i can turn it back on if i need that
also, i may try paranoidandroid port with you, if thats cool
