Check your commands, when you build, I believe it should be just the folder name, unless your folder is named cm9framework.apk, so just take off the .apk if that is the case.

EDIT: I use: java -jar apktool.jar b "framework-res"

Is the framework stock ? If anything has been changed it WON'T compile. It's in the keep folder where I make the changes then hit enter & you should be good.

For ICS files, it seems you need to install the framework files before you can work with them. Try this:

1. place a copy of framework-res.apk in your apktool folder.
2. run this command in terminal/cmd:

apktool if framework-res.apk

3. After it is done installing, then you can do your decompiling and recompiling as normal.

If on Ubuntu you could try this version of APK Tool. Will pre-load most Frameworks and make it easier if working with different framework files from multiple Roms. Pretty much after unzipping you will see multiple folders that have specific frameworks pre-assigned like a folder named "Place ICS APK" . Also has an optional interface for running basic commands by selecting a number on a menu that corresponds with a command. Think I still needed to use the "Place Other APK" folder for CM9 to decompile correctly. Had used it allot for saving time before discovering the awesomeness that is just hitting the up arrow. That and the equally as awesome Tab key. [Development Tools] FJ-APKTools v1.4 Linux Only 5/25/2012 [Archive] - xda-developers
