Hangouts Compilation Mystery - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello All,
The passed few days I've been attempting to theme Hangouts (2.0.128). Decompiling goes nicely (tried Apktool 1.5.2 and 2.0b7) but it's compiling that does not. No matter what I do, even If I don't touch any of the files, I simply decompile and then recompile, I get blasted with brut errors similar to these (about 10 of these all on different lines):
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\hangouts\res\values\styles.xml:101: error:
Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name
'Widget.AppCompat.Base'.
I've been searching for a fix for this everywhere, After many google and XDA searches, I have yet to find a single fix or answer to this problem. I've seen a handful of other threads claiming to have fixed the issue but it was for earlier versions of Hangouts, not 2.0.128.
So lets brainstorm folks, any ideas? I really wanna get this figured out.

Anyone? I can't be the only one having this problem..

Now, trying to create a project before importing interests me, not allowing me to use the light holo theme with dark action bar (The project I have to import the user and also gave me error related to it). I get a red x next. We also explain the mistake that gave me and before reinstalling everything and that gives me now, because I think it has something to do. It turns out that when you import a project gives me many errors: Errors in the files within src and errors especially in res / values ​​/ styles. the latter makes no father is and values-v21 speak. Many would say that the problem is the appcompat but I've tried a lot of solutions out there on the internet and nothing, I can not solve. Does not work with android studio me and if I have tried the techniques of builth path and etc. i need help please. The solution to start the application again is not an option, Thanks for everything

Some errors is about depriciated, others is for unknown command or class.
I have tried to fix, but no chance, too many errors and my Java skill is realy low (I'm better under PHP). I have also try to copy only few codes using the error tools to known what is needed to add, but I don't known own the default structure was made (all class in same folder ?, or many folder for many class ? less class but with more actions ? not sure)
I have tried all ideas I have found, no valid result, I never build the app with success. I have made few Android App, with help of tutorials and are very basic (Web browser for my website, music player and scanner). I known the basic of Android coding and the new and old way to code them (Eclipse and Android Studio).
I search many solutions;

The APK I try to edit: levelkro (dot) com/download/android/KHR1.3.22.apk (not available on Play Store)
Thank for your help

ApkMultiTool Error

Hey everyone, I seem to have a problem that's really irritating me. I used .net reflector to edit some dll's in an app in an attempt to mod it. Well, when I go to compile the apk (using option 12) I get an error. I don't know how to fix this error, but it seems like it's due to a missing file maybe? I've already redownloaded it twice and still get the same error. Any help would be greatly appreicated.
I have a youtube video, but apparently it says I can't post outside links? -_-
remove the spaces and please watch the video youtube . com / watch?v=4uoE3n0mEfg

A/ (21702): First type is not attr!
Okay what you see above is what I am getting in response to recompiling attempts of an app that I am modding.
Observed from PC and Android devices alike. The (number) does change not sure why.
Basically for version updates we have to move some things over from older versions. Like replacing some xml with a png file to create a cool background. Well long story short. The message above is the error that I am getting. The only difference between pass and fail is what I changed. Now keep in mind that I have a fair smali understanding on me. I just don't know what this message means.
Changing
screen_example_dark to
mod_example_dark
Now I have done a crawl of every string, object etc... And still can't find the error to my problem.
Anyhelp that I could get would be appreciated.
Note that there is nothing on Google about this so solving this problem will help the masses.

install_parse_failed_manifest_malformed

I'm experiencing this error while installing my app on the emulator with version older than Oreo... install_parse_failed_manifest_malformed
I've seen that there is many people with this error:
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36955684
the error can be solved by renaming package name with small letters instead of capital one but this is not a solution because play store will see it as a different app.
is there some smarter solution to the problem?
