I just bought a new pc. Now i tried apktool 1.4.3 to decompile and compile apks. But whenever i decompile or try to build them again, it gives an error message. I am using aapt.exe that came with apktool. Will using aapt.exe from sdk solve the problem?I never had that prob in my earlier computer.(windows xp 32 bit)
2)what tool do u guys use?

It is a tool that allows you to decompile an app into its basic code format for you to edit or change, then recompile.

Are you using any external jar files? http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1021207.html
I replaced the aapt.exe with the sdk one.
now wen i decompile my fsystemui.apk, i get this code,
Code:
I: Baksmaling...
I: Loading resource table...
I: Loaded.
W: Could not decode attr value, using undecoded value instead: ns=android, name=

Ok it sounds like it could be a) incomplete decompile due to incorrect placement of apktool files and/or b) issue with whatever you recoded. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1511730&page=5
Are you using Eclipse?

Inside "ROM Control" or "AOKP Settings", go to clock and change the color as you want.

what i do wrong,i recompiled the .apk i signed the apk,copy to phone restart and after i get fc UI,when i recompiled i get error for translation ....can be this the problem?
here is how it's done
1) decompile the systemUI.apk
2) open "\res\layout\status_bar.xml"
3) search for "com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock"
4) at the end of the line you add " android:textColor="#ff33b5e5" "
5) compile it, but don't sign it
6) put it in /preload/symlink/system/app
7) restart phone
8) done

really i search a lot for this problem with no result.
try decompiling with dependencies firt so framework-res is installed.
then compile again. this should work
the needed images have to be in drawable-hdpi before compiling.
here is the systemui.apk with the mod.

I can say the same here. Tried all the same locations were I see that the Clock color might be set, then change the value and recompile, transfer contents from recompiled into the SystemUI.apk using archive manager and load it up through recovery. I just cannot find how it is done. I have ask this questions to devs that have different then stock AOSP color and no reply yet. Hope one of them will guide and I will be glad to pass that info along. I am trying this on my Tablet, but the source is just about the same when it comes down to it.

Alright bro I stay true to my word and figured out my issue with my ROM which is a AOSP 4.1.2 build as with yours. I was able to change the color of the clock on the Status Bar as well and some others that use the same color hex as the clock. They are within the framework-res.apk and not the SystemUI.apk like other ROMS are. 4.1.2 is a bit different when it comes to these changes. After setting up apktool with framework-res.apk go ahead and Decompile it and guide your way to this path, framework-res/res/value/color. You will see a nice list there with hex colors settings. The ones you need to change are (<color name="holo_blue_light">#ff33b5e5</color>) and (<color name="holo_blue_dark">#ff0099cc</color>). The hex color settings on these examples are for the stock blue that everyone is custom too, but can be changed to any color you wish. After change is complete using texted editor save changes and make sure that you can see hidden files. Some text editor tools will create a backup on the Hidden files and you need to delete that backup before compiling the apk back. To recompile I went ahead and used this command to just compile it back (apktool b framework-res AlmostDone.apk). When complete all you need to do is Open up current framework.res.apk in archive as well as AlmostDone.apk, don't extract either one. Drag and drop the resources.arsc file from AlmostDone.apk over to framework.res.apk. Then load up your framework.res.apk back to your phone using recovery or what ever means you like to use and your all done.

Sorry bro but i don't understead.If this is the stock blue color: (<color name="holo_blue_light">#ff33b5e5</color>) and (<color name="holo_blue_dark">#ff0099cc</color>),why my clock on status bar is still grey?and i look to the file you did and has this setting color,this is the color i am looking.I tried another thing to change in framework this line <color name="darker_gray">#ffaaaaaa</color> to <color name="darker_gray">#ff33b5e5</color> and same color to clock
the file framework.apk need to be signed after i make change?
No after you make your adjustments just recompile as instructed and open both apk files in archive. Then drag and drop the resources.arsc file over only unless you changed any of the files in the res folder then you can drag and drop that into the archived framework-res.apk. The original signature will be fine.

Already make this and not working.The same grey color.The color.xml has the default color blue how you said,so i make no change to this xml.because this is color i like,and why is not changing?

I'm using Apktool for Android v'4.1.1 on a Verizon SGS3 4.4.2...I'm trying to decompile Systemui.apk in hopes that I can port the card stack view in the recents panel, like in lollipop or the Note 4.
I keep getting an error while decoding the resource files. It's says that it can't decode attr value: using undecoded value instead for numerous things.
I have SELinux set to permissive, apktool if framework, etc...I can decompile AOSPA Systemui.apk no problem. It even creates .yml file as well. But I can't recompile directly after decompile without editing anything either. This is driving me nuts!
HELP!!!!
A game I really liked only worked on old phones, not on "new" ones (from 2014). I made a thread asking how to make them work and they said to edit the apk's SDK number.

Hi...
In order to do this, u need to decompile the app with apktool, then edit the line "min sdk version" in Android Manifest file with notepad++ and just recompile the apk.
Note: If the line is not found in Android Manifest file, it would be in apktool.yml file of same directory.
Check this tool to easily decompile and recompile APK file.

Since this question is regarding the Advanced Apktool, your best bet is to post this question within the following Advanced Apktool thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3608211
I noticed that this question was also posted within the APK Easy Tool thread when your log indicates that it was taken from the Advanced Apktool software.
Also, your log indicates that your using the Advanced Apktool v4.1.0 when the most recent version is v4.2.0...
Good Luck!
