Unpack both pakages you will get three files,

apktool =executable jar

aapt

open cmd
type cd c:\windows (to change directory)

install first framework-res.apk (get from /system/framework/)

install first SystemUI.apk (get from /system/app/)
how to install:
code:
apktool if {framework's folder/location}

sample: apktool if D:\framework-res.apk (hit enter)

apktool if C:\framework-res.apk (hit enter)
do the same with SystemUI.apk
apktool if C:\SystemUI.apk (hit enter)
These will be saved here - C:\Users\your_user_name\apktool\"HERE"

now you may start decompiling any apk, save your apk in a folder for easy access
and when you decompile make sure you know the directory

Decompiling
apktool d C:\filename.apk C:\folder_of_the_decompiled_files
sample: apktool d c:\mms.apk c:\mmsmod
if your apk located in other drive say d: and you want to save the decompile file in
d: instead of c:
use this: apktool d d:\mms.apk d:\mmsmod

mmsmod is the name of the folder you want your decompiled files stored, no need
to create a folder from selected drive just directly input it in your command line and
place whatever name you want and it will automatically create the folder for you
Done!
Recompiling
apktool b C:\folder_of_the_decompiled_files C:\newfilename.apk
sample: apktool b c:\mmsmod c:\mmsmodfinal
apktool d d:\mmsmod d:\mmsmodfinal
Done!
