I tried rebuilding my SystemUI without changing anything in resources.
I am so confused, it say Caused by: java.io.IOException: No such file or directory
But which file is missing?

Questions to ask before submission

1. Are you using the latest apktool version? Yes, i tried using latest version of apktool but it still give a error

Apktool doesn't officially support running on Android yet. It looks like you cannot create a temporary file (which is needed in a few places) during the build process.

Sorry, maybe some day running Apktool on Android will be official and supported.

Thanks for the reply,
Is true, Apktool build will create a temporary directory at /tmp that not available in android by the default.
So i try create /tmp directory manually, and now it works.

Maybe on next update you can add a ability to change temp directory location.
and sorry if my grammar its too bad for you xD.
