Use root explorer or similar to copy apk back to original location .
This of course will require a rooted phone .

i have the phone rooted and i've already done this think ! i've used root explorer and i put the app in the original folder , and after that i restarted the phone , but nothing changed
i must reflash the rom that i've installed ?!? if i install the app from recovery i think that i can install it , but i don't have the "file.zip"
Are you sure you are putting the apk into the folder system/app/ after you mount the system? (Click r/w in top right corner of root explorer in the system directory)

Have any one tried this?
flash Gapps into samsung based ics roms.
The gapps that i'm talking about are the zip file that you need to flash after flashing CM9 or AOKP roms.
this is because the stock messaging and stock calender app are much better than the samsung ones.
will there be any problem if i flash those on top of my samsung based rom?

well instead of flashing the zip file and facing isssue's of Boot loop or stuck on the boot screen logo.
i would suggest u to extract the .apk file's of the same ie stock messaging and calender then push the same to system>app folder using root explorer/browser and then set permission to rw-r--r-- of the same apps then reboot ur phone and see.
ps- ur phone has to be rooted to use the rootexplorer/browser app since it requires root permission
else simply put the apk files in ur sdcard and then install from there and see

Hi guys!
I have a problem installing Next Launcher to my custom rom...
This is what i made: replaced (deleted my old launcher) my default launcher from /system/app folder with the downloaded Next Launcher.apk.
As i know it should automaticly install this launcher, but after i complete all the gmail sign in process stuffs and it should load the homescreen, i got a pop-up error in my status bar: "Unexpected error" and the screen remains black and the launcher didnt load
Any idea what i made wrong?
Thx in advance!
I`ve got the same problem, somebody please help.
I just figured out that u need to copy the .so files from the launchers apk (inside the apk there is folder lib\ameabi and there is 3 .so files) to the Rom's folder system\lib\ . Thats it Enjoy!

Thanks a lot, that worked.
I am using Android Marshmallow v6.0.1 x86-based CPU, with stock ROM.
I tried to follow your suggestion, but still error.
I took those 4, not 3, *.so files from x86 folder and paste them to system/lib folder, do reboot.
But still found the "Unexpected Error" notification.
I have a samsung note 3 sprint smn900p
I want to translate the system apks like framework-res.apk and secsettings.apk
then I found one of my friend has a same mobile note 3 sprint already translated and same android version 4.4.2
so I copy all of his files completely ( all system files and system apks ) around 2 GB .
and I make a backup of my system using TWRP recovery .
and now I try to install his framework-res.apk , so I copy it to my sdcard and using rootexplore then change the permissions to R-W-R-R and paste the framework-res.apk file to the system/framework folder and it already replaced the old framework-res.apk with the new framework-res.apk which already translated . but the problem I dont see that the mobile make upgrading for the new apk so I go to the new framework and try to install it from rootexplorer but always get a message app not installed.
I change the mount to RO then RW but nothing change only app not installed.
so how to install the new framework-res.apk ?
my second question, can I make a new rom using my friends complete system files and flash it to my mobile ?
thank you

What language are you trying to get that's not already built into the phone? For future reference, it is best to change the framework via recovery, if at all.
I want to get arabic language on my mobile.
and the 4.4.2 stock rom delete many languages on it so even morelocal app cant add any language.

You might as well flash a custom ROM for it. Or you will have to replace every singe files on the device as they all have ref to other languages. Yes they remove alot of them. Like my device doesn't even have that option and none I have used have, they have all needed alot of work and none work completely.

I am also looking for the same. On MM rom, Sony is using symlinks to link odex files.
A step by step guide would be highly appreciated.
Thank you
I'm not gonna go into deep details, but this should help.
- flash MM rom for your device, make sure it is ROOTED as you'll need to use an explorer with root access,it's better if you do this on a clean install, but this is just me
- boot your device and go through the setup process
- once done, install a browser with root access, I recommend MiXplorer, root explorer
- browse into /system folder
- check your /app, /framework, /priv-app, they should have odex files inside them (this was the case for me)
- copy these folders, plus build.prop file into sd card or the phone memory
- connect phone to pc and copy files over
- look up and download SVADeodexerForArtx(32 or 64 based on your system), you also need to have java installed on your machine.
- extract the SVADeodexerForArtxxx to your c: drive, and create a folder named /system insides, and post the files from your phone inside that
- your final folder will look something like this : c:/SVADeodexerForArtxxx/system/ (app, framework,priv-app) and build.prop file
- remember to move the Semcxxx app folder from /framework into /app folder or it won't be deodexed
- run SVADeodexerForArtxxx and point it to your /system folder, it will show you your android version, tick the checkbox for app, framework, priv-app, hit the start button
- it'll run and once done the log file will open and tell you how many were deodexed.
- the deodexed folders will be in the base folder, make sure to return the Semcxxx folder from the /apps to /framework
- create a flashable zip and flash these folders back on your rom
now your rom is deodexed

The intention of this post was to learn how to do it. I know there is existenz and ultraslim deodexed roms. Thanks anyway.
@ticktock666
Thanks for the steps.
These steps looks to be from older version. Anybody with 6.0 Sony MM steps?
@ticktock666
There are certain other folders such as odex.app, odex.framework, odex.priv-app...what about these? These folders also contains similar odex files for app, framework and pri-app...

I deodexed my MM rom about a week ago, so I'm saying this from experience : it is up-to-date.

I'm not sure, but here's some of the stuff I noticed during the deodex process :
- I used to get the files using adb pull command directly to pc after a fresh rom install (remember to install a pre-rooted rom), but I did not get any odex files with the apps this way, so deodexing didn't work.
- after pulling the files from the device using a root explorer, each app had the odex files with them inside the correct folders.
- about odex.xxx folders and odex.xxx.sqsh files : they contain an exact duplicate of the odex files, no idea why (you can extract the sqsh files, they're basically special compressed odex file container sort of thing), which means the rom contains 3 versions of the same odex file, makes no sense.....
after deodexing and flashing the deodexed rom/files, I deleted odex.xxx folders and odex.xxx.sqsh files, and my rom works fine, fully rooted and with xposed. My current issue is that now if I browse into /data/app on the root of the drive I'll find an odexed version of every app I have installed, be it a user app or system app, and it's driving me crazy.

sorry buddy, but although just the deodexed files from my rom should work perfectly (it's only the apks, no other settings from the rom are included), it is near impossible for me to upload anywhere due to slow & unstable connection and power situation, since none of the hosting services support upload resume on their apps/sites.

sorry for the late reply, haven't been checking much recently.
now about those sqsh files, I've tried extracting them, and they seem to contains a 2nd copy of the odex files, not sure how they work, but after deodexing my rom I simply deleted them, and everything worked normally.

I don't have the latest rom yet (not released for 6502), but when you go into your /system/app folder using a root explorer, do you see "arm" folder inside any of the installed apps ? maybe they changed something in 291, and now they only use sqsh files, also what does the log from the app says when you deodex the rom says ? it should say something like "300 apps deodexed, 10 apps already deodexed" or something like that.

Hi!
Thanks, for good instructions!
It is also working for Xperia Z3 Compact on MM .291. I failed in the past, cause of forgetting 'semcxxx' in framework.
