Answer 1

I can solve this problem 1. Download framework-res.apk from https://basketbuild.com/filedl/devs?dev=aniruddhc&dl=aniruddhc/framework-res.apk 2. You can download latest file version apktool from https://bitbucket.org/iBotPeaches/apktool/downloads and change name to "apktool.jar". 3. Open folder Framework,delete old file "apktool.jar",later copy new file "apktool.jar" and file framework.res.apk. Later run file Command Prompt and run command "apktool if framework-res.apk". 4. Delete old file "apktool.jar" and copy new file "apktool.jar" in folder APKTool. 5. End, run command apktool d name_apk
