I've been trying to use the apktool and keep getting random errors when trying to recompile the .apk. I'm using a windows machine. Is there possibly another way to decompile and recompile .apk's such as blurphone.apk and settings.apk?

See below....although I am confused by this a little. Maybe it will make more sense to you. I put apktool.bat, apktool.jar, and aapt.exe in root of my phone and tried to type the commands in terminal emulator and got stuck. Didn't work. I'm sure I'm doing it wrong as usual.
If you just download the 3 files(apktool, apktool.jar and aapt) and give them root permissions, you can use Terminal. Much easier. In terminal type
Apktool install framework framework-res.apk
Apktool install framework moto-res.apk
Apktool install framework blur-res.apk
You will now see a apktool folder with 3 folders in them 1 2 3.
Grab the apk you want to decompike, drop it in the /home folder and in terminal type.
Apktool d filename.apk out
It will be in /home/out
To recompile in terminal type
cd out
Apktool b
It will recompile.

I'm assuming this is for Mac? I hate to be that guy, but is there any way you can dumb this down a little more. I have tried to follow this every way I know how, but I have a PC. Help please.If you just download the 3 files(apktool, apktool.jar and aapt) and give them root permissions, you can use Terminal. Much easier. In terminal type

It's not just for MAC. I'm running it now. If you google it you can find the actual page for downloads. Getting it installed is kind of tricky because most of the files have to be run from your windows folder on the C drive. Can be a little cluttered but it does work pretty well. It will let you decompile and recompile most files because it allows you to install the framework files. Still can't do it with BlurPhone.apk though, which is what I'm fighting desperately with.

I have been reading other places that you do not do this with "system" apps? I have been signing all of the apps after recompiling, is that bad?Once the compiling is complete the Script.bat will return to normal, and you will have a new apk in the modding folder. “unsignedframework-res.apk
Choose option 12 in Script.apk
This will sign the apk.

Ive always signed all apps and never ran into a problem. So bad...I wouldnt say so.
but to each their own. If you dont want to sign, then dont and see if it works. Your never know until you try.
If anything it might be a extra step that is not necessary
I got into the habit when I was doing things with CM and the themechooser.apk---which you have to sign!

I tried with framework-res, not signing, and seeme to be working fine. I will sign them all though. Can't hurt to be safe.
BTW, I am making my own 1% battery right now. Growning a whole new appreciation for the work you di on the other one. LOL

No way, it just means more great theme options for our phones. You can never have to many flashing options.Ummm.... With all you up and coming themers... I may be out of a job before too long.

I have that sixth sense and I can see it too.
When I get a new box I want to learn to dev and theme, but i doubt i can keep with him, hacker, DT, bignadad, DroidJunk, and the likes..
But that new box is a long ways off...

Just a little tip that I would add that I haven't seen on this post yet that would assist some beginner themers:
You only need to decompile if you're making XML or Smali edits. If you are simply replacing images with ones you made, or porting a theme over (with permission of course) then you only need to extract the apk which is Option 3.

The images are the easy part. The real fun starts when you get into xml's.
