[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evillarney:
Hi there,

I recently decided to start doing some theming on my Lollipop ROM, cataclysm for nexus 5. Now, I tried to follow this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1814441 to recompile and decompile and I used this guide http://xdaforums.com/android/themes/guide-t2978121 to try and theme some colors in systemui.apk. I started out with just the primary color of the notification drawer, just to test it.

But, when I try to recompile the apk, I get some errors. I have no idea what to do with them.

C:\Users\Eldin\Documents\apktool>apktool b SystemUI test.apk

All I changed were 2 colors in res/values/colors.xml.

Can point me in the right direction?
