As i promised here is the GUI Smali tool for decompiling apk source code when you run into errors when building resources if using APK tool.
Just a few things i should mention:
This program MUST be run as Administrator for 7zip to be able to modify the apk. Its really a lengthy explanation, but pretty much, since im using 7zip outside of its "normal" home its permissions are degraded requiring my program to have elevated permissions to perform propperly.
Second, if you notice it lagging for a long time when exiting its because its cleaning up files. Figured if i didnt do that me and everyone else who used this will have 34868786736273785868657474758699509430393848587 files on their computer. :P
And these seriously dont take two minutes to write, so if you like/use them just thank me :)

And i need to update my other thread but these tools are written in C#, meaning .NET framework is required. And since i am developing on a windows 7 machine with .NET Framework 4.5 installed, it automatically sets the minimum framework to 4.5. If its an issue for anyone. i can change it to no latter than .NET 3.5 as if i go older i will need to change the code for certain apis arent available in older versions.
Well have fun! :)
