When recompiling framework-res.apk every files are deleted

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Anytime i edit an xml the output is generally the same a messed up apk.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
for the modified xml to be intact as well as all other files.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.4.3

Please provide any additional information below.
Whenever i edit an xml from the default framework-res.apk of a sony ericson 
xperia play (r800x version) the xml is deleted and whenever i edit an xml in 
the values folder all the values folders are deleted when the apk is recompiled.

What do you do exactly? You decode an apk, xml files are decoded properly, then 
you run "apktool b" and xml files are deleted from a project dir?

I decode then edit the xml files. When I build it doesnt give me any errors but 
it builds the apk without the modifed xml, when I edit an xml in the values 
folder it deletes all value folders from the compiled apk nothing in the 
project directory is deleted.

res/values* are always missing in apk file - these xmls are stored differently. 
If you look into original apk then you will see the same. So what's your 
problem?

apk is shrunk by over 3 megs(didnt notice that values wasnt stored like that 
never payed attention) and when the apk is pushed or flashed to phone causes 
boot loop.
