I have tried Apktool 1.4.1,1.4.2,1.5.0 and Auto Apktool(latest version) and i get different errors from each version. I have installed the framework from my phone but it still wont work. Any advice as i just want to remove the AM/PM from the clock in the status bar.
Thanks in advance.

Root explore (: do it threw your phone
 
You got systemui to fully de/compile?
You must install SystemUI.apk in Apk Multi first. I also installed framework-res.apk and lge-res.apk just to be sure all deps were satisfied. I've only decompiled to take a looksee, I haven't compiled so I don't know if any FC's.

When you decompiled did you see the smali folder? I had it decompile once before and it had that folder but now it wont show it.
 
This is all I get. It has all the resources, manifest, and xml.

Could you open res?
Yes, You can edit any xml, manipulate images, etc. TBH I've only decomp and recomp apk's such as framework-res, phone, contacts, etc. I've not tried changing anything in systemui but I imagine it cannot be much different. I've only seen smali folder when using baksmali from cmd line, haven't seen it with multi. This is the layout I always get from multi.

I get the smali folder sometimes... Not all the time.
