[Q] Can someone decompile an ICS APK for me?

I want to mod my Phone.apk app (from Italian stock ROM XWLP7) to remove increasing ringtone like described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22950768&postcount=2
Because Phone.apk is an ICS apk, I can't decompile correctly with ApkTool, I tried many times, with this method too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1511730 but I failed
Can someone decompile/mod/recompile my Phone.apk for me, please?

Editing / Changing systemUI.apk needs to editing framework again too.
So it won't work if you have just changed sUI.apk

problem with Signing kitkat apk

Hello,I have problem with recompiling any system apk for kitkat firmware,tried to decompile and recompile framework-res as the usual way of any 4.3 firmware and lower,it does decompile and recompile successfully but when I replace it back instead of the original one I got it stuck at sprint screen for NOTE3 SPRINT .also when I try with SecSettings ,the settings icon disappear after replacing the original one,I even tried building the apk without any modification and I got the same thing.
there is must be something with signing kitkat apk different than 4.3 and lower firmware.
I used the same method of signing A System apk of taking META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml and inserting them into the new APK.
apktool version 1.5.3
phone:NOTE3 SPRINT N900P 4.4.2 STOCK FIRMWARE.
THANK YOU

Same prob' :/
Same problem on a qbex TX240.

Can someone tell me why my decompiling is failing?

When I try to decompile SystemUI.apk only, my decompiling process fails.
I am using the latest version of APK Studio.
The log when I have framework installed: http://pastebin.com/Zc9NaKqB
The log when I don't have framework installed: http://pastebin.com/jEDU9G6c
I already tried deleting apktool/framework/1.apk
I already tried reinstalling Java/SDK/JDK... I have them installed correctly.
Would really be thankful if someone finds the error to this.
Regards,

I installed a mod without a framework-res, meaning the framework remained stock 4.4.2.
