@dumle11 Yes, you’re right, aapt2 is still used without this patch. But you can take a look at my profile.

@pashamcr first of all, sorry for taking so long to reply. Didn’t have time for the past 2 days and started downloading AOSP yesterday, but didn’t finish.

I have tested the binaries you have provided and now I can confirm I can successfully rebuild the framework-res. Thanks a milion for your help and have a nice week guys!
