[HTC Desire X] MihaiA7X:
I want to decompile systemui.apk to remove clock from status bar

For decompiling I use elesbb's GUI APK Tool. I installed custom framework (both frameworks from /system/framework folder) when i decompile I get this log:

I: Decoding values */* XMLs...
I: Done.

then I open the decompiled folder i find in res/layout the status bar.xml and I make my changes.

I removed this from the xml:

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/clock" android:paddingLeft="6.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />

So far so good. But then I go to recompile and I get this error (btw I searched all on google first no luck there so I really need your help):
