Root Need Help With AutoAPKTool

Ok, so lately i've been trying to work on a red theme for this little sucker. i have some of the things already knocked down, except for xml files and such that require me to decompile the SystemUI.apk. Now, when i use option 6 on AutoAPKTool to decompile it, it asks me to to drag and drop the SystemUI.apk from the _INPUT_APk to the command prompt, but it just simply doesnt want to drop into the cmd. It just shows a circle icon with a slash across it. Might anyone here know what might be the problem?
 
You don't drag it into the cmd promt... Just make sure you have it in the input_apk folder...
 
alright bro, i see what you meant :p
but now as i try to decompile the apk, i get this error:

[*] 6
decompiling 6...

Any ideas to why this is happening? :confused:
 
Now, is this apk-multi-tool or apktool? Or this random autoapktool?

Edit: apk-multi-tool is option 9 and apktool is "apktool d SystemUI.apk" -.- Can you provide a link to autoapktool?

Another edit: Do you have the Java Runtime Environment installed? Commonly just called "Java" or "JRE"?
 
Fwiw, put lge-res.apk and SystemUI.apk in the same folder apktool is in, then in command prompt, type "apktool if lge-res.apk" then type "apktool d SystemUI.apk" then make your edits and when you're done type "apktool b SystemUI SystemUI-new.apk" :)

Ok, so i've been able to decompile the apk flawlessly using APKTool. But now my concern is that when i try to recompile, it gives me some errors and doesnt create any new apk. But also, i have achieved to recompile it but when i push the new apk into my phone, it removes my statusbar :/
and rebooting the phone wont help
Do you know why?
 
Unzip the apk, take the META-INF from the original, and put it in the modded apk :) Or just sign it your self with an app from the play store.

Not sure if any of that will fix it though... But its worth a shot... If all else fails try apk-multi-tool...

I tried using apk-multi-tool but i don't understand it. I've been able to recompile the new systemui.apk without any problems but every single time that i try to push it to my phone my status bar always disappears :/
