[Q][HELP][ICS]Trouble Decompiling SystemUI.apk - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Running Serendipity 9.
Usually I have no problem decompiling apks and using ADB or whatever. But recently I tried to upload my SystemUI.apk file to UOT Kitchen in hopes of doing a few mods but I kept getting errors. I have no problems at all decompiling framework-res.apk. So, I tried to use ADB and came up with errors. Here is my log below.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So after that failed, I did research and found out that:
"Samsung changed some Hex value in the compiled dex code.
It has nothing to do with resources apks or anthing.
If you want to decompile those apks you have to do the follwing:
Using 7zip extract the classes.dex file from the apk and save it somewhere.\
Delete the classes.dex file from the apk."
So I followed the instructions found here for "[HOW TO] Compile/Decompile ICS Apk easily|100% working" and it still didn't work. So here is my log for that.
Code:
[*] "C:\Users\Tony Noel\Downloads\AutoAPKTool2.0.0\AutoAPKTool2.0.0\_INPUT_APK\SystemUI.apk"

Here is also my error log from UOT Kitchen.

I have no idea what to do. So please, any help would be greatly appreciated!

What I use for ics apks:
Download apktool 1.4.2 and apktool 1.4.3. Download the apktool dependencies. Also get the latest aapt from the android sdk (I replace the aapt that came with apktool with this one).
Use 1.4.2 for decompiling. Use 1.4.3 for recompiling. Some apks I'll have to remove the classes.dex. And on some I don't. I always try with it in place first.
Keep in mind I only use Linux based distros (Mint 12 at the moment), so I can't say for sure if this works on Windows.
As far as the UOT errors, is the systemui.apk a stock unmodified?
