Problems recompiling systemui.apk

Hello everyone I have be doing alot of work just changing images in the SystemUI.apk and others alike. I found this great tut and i want to edit some xml files... I have tried several tuts on this already and keep getting the same resualts. I am following eveything exactly to the T.

I have installed framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk and twframework-res.apk (I was advised to try it with twframework-res installed also)

Here is what i am getting when trying to installing and decompiling SystemUI.apk....

C:\AAPKTOOL>apktool if framework-res.apk

I: Framework installed to: C:\Users\LARRY\apktool\framework\1.apk

C:\AAPKTOOL>apktool if SystemUI.apk

I: Framework installed to: C:\Users\LARRY\apktool\framework\127.apk

C:\AAPKTOOL>apktool if twframework-res.apk

I: Framework installed to: C:\Users\LARRY\apktool\framework\2.apk

C:\AAPKTOOL>apktool d SystemUI.apk

I: Baksmaling...

I: Loading resource table...

I: Loaded.

I: Decoding AndroidManifest.xml with resources...

I: Loading resource table from file: C:\Users\LARRY\apktool\framework\1.apk

I: Loaded.

I: Regular manifest package...

I: Decoding file-resources...

I: Decoding values */* XMLs...

I: Done.

I: Copying assets and libs...

EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD HERE SOO FAR ^^^^^

All i did was change the text color for the clock. I followed the instructions on recompile steps... Build then copy META folder and AndroidManifest.xml into build/apk and build again and This is what I get when I recompile SystemUI again......

C:\AAPKTOOL>apktool b SystemUI

I: Checking whether sources has changed...

I: Checking whether resources has changed...

I: Building resources...
