So I deleted mynet.apk and weatherwidget.apk now I downloaded them to my SD card used and app call ghost commander to copy them the /system/app folder where they are supposed to be except when I go to the folder to find them they are labors as odex files not apk and when I try to rename them it doesn't do anything they still remain odex files. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Replacing/installing sys apps requires a reboot to recognize. I think having the odex file there means you don't have to install/extract the app & then change the permissions & reboot.
& to be able to modify sys files/folders you need root explorer.apk from mkt & within it you mount as r/w
I am trying to install stock calculator from orange froyo to CyanogenMod 7 Nightly but every time i try to install it I get:application not installed
how can i get it in the phone?
Dude you can't do it, there is no such way that you can do a normal install with a copied HTC apk from rom. As they are not intended to install like normal apk. Besides you have to copy it to system/app. And you can't do it straight. You should be rooted. Also there is a support file in the folder of original file( dnt remb its name) which is required for its working. You have to copy both of them in system/app.
Repeat the question in threads like" android app development or some thing related to apps or developments, to get a procedure based fast replay.

Cm7 i think comes with a calculator!!! Unpack zip on PC before install then in unzipped file goto system app and delete calculator then copy the apk your trying to install into same app folder then rezip all unzipped files making sure you don't include original zip package and make sure you have named it same as original too ending in (.zip) then flash as normal,should work if not then it must be the apk is at error.

Hi guys ,
I've been modding my apps from last two days , and i'm on the climax to mod those apps.
My main question is , that how can I make a .zip file to push apps in my system/app directory....
This means replacing the stock apps with the modded ones.
I'm not able to push the apps and pushing it via mobile is too boring.
Please help.

Google it.
download a sample zip for your phone..
any flash-able zip from this forum will do it..
extract it, you will see two folders, meta-inf and system.
if you want install system app through that zip then create folder in system and name it 'app' and place whichever app you want to install..
meta-inf is folder you don't wanna mess with..
it would be better if you just google it.

Another things. Apps that already installed in system app will NOT get lost right? The method ADDS apps not REPLACING them. Right?
just use my flashable zip template
download flashable zip template
unzip contents
you will notice there is already a system/framework folder - anything you want to add to the framework folder place here
if you want to add anything to the app folder simply create a folder named app in system and place any apps here
same goes for any other location - just create the folder and place any files in that location
once you have created all the folders and placed any files you want to flash in them just zip everything back up again and flash in cwm with system mounted
Okay so I just tried to install xposed on my Xperia Z and it was a success. All you need to do is be rooted. For that, go to this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/super-su-xperia-device-lollipop-easy-t3119006. The procedure mentioned here worked like a charm for me.
Once you are rooted, go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811. Download the .zip file and the .apk file. Install the .apk file like any other normal .apk file. Unzip the .zip file using any file explorer (I used root explorer). After you've unzipped the files, all you have to do is move and replace them in the system folders and assign correct permissions.
It's not working for me, the installer keeps saying Xposed isn't currently active
I got boot looped with this solution...bummer!

Would it be possible to explain the file copying process in more detail. My Xperia Z crashed whilst copying and overwriting the files into the LIB and now is in a boot loop. Copying the appropriate files to BIN and FRAMEWORK worked fine.

Done! Its working great! In order to work need to set the correct permissions in relevant files.

Did you copy the FRAMEWORK, BIN and LIB files over. My Xperia rebooted whilst copying the LIB files over and the went into bootloop.
Busy re-installing lollipop as we speak.
I have installed the files separately (one by one) in the relevant system's paths

I reinstalled the 5.0.2 firmware. Then did the KingRoot and replaced with SuperSU. The I tried to install Xposed followin the above steps and copied file by file like you did, and if I copy the 3rd file in LIB over, the phone reboots and goes into bootloop.

Same, although it rebooted just fine. I then copied the files again, no reboot but also no Xposed.

I'm in a bootloop again, so off to re-install lollipop...again. Becoming quite a pro at installing and rooting it now This time around, I had a clean install of 5.0.2 without any updates from Play Store. Also did a KingRoot and the replaced it with Super SU before trying to install Xposed. Not sure how @alexfra got it installed...lucky bum!
Okay do the following, copy the LIB files in the root of the system folder and assign the correct permissions. After you've done that, cut and paste the LIB files in to the LIB folder. That will work for sure. Check images for further assistance. Also check image of Gravity Box attached. Everything running great. Hope it works for you too.

Succeeded with my Xperia Z on official Lollipop ! Thanks !
To all who have troubles : take good care to the PERMISSIONS !!! If you don't change permissiosn IT WON'T WORK !
For LIB folder files use the method described before :
- extract to /system
- change permission to rw-r--r-- (or 0644 in octal)
- move files to /system/lib
For bin folder files permission are rwxr-xr-x (or 0755 in octal) and for framework folder it's rw-r--r-- (or 0644 in octal)
If you don't do EXACTLY this, Xposed won't work !

I did this on my third try over the weekend. Copied the LIB files into system, changed the permissions and the moved the files one by one. Reboot and bootloop occured when moving libart.so.
1) What file manager did you use? I used ES File in root explorer mode.
2) Did you move file by file, or move the files all at once or per folder?
3) Do you remember any specific order when moving the files? I just went alphabetically through the folders.
4) Must the .props file also be copied that is in the zip?
5) Did you do a clean install to Lollipop, or was it an upgrade from KK?
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks for your help guys! I figured out what the problem was for me. There were some Xposed files in my lib folder already, I assume from my installation on KitKat (I did not do a clean upgrade). So I removed those, rebooted and presto! Good to have Xposed again

Do you know what the files were so I can check?
Should I not install the Xposed installer APK until I have copied the zipped files in?

Go to /system/lib and search for all the files that are also in the lib folder in the zip and remove them. I already had the Xposed installer installed when I did it, in fact I used it to reboot the system.
I have done,,thanks for guide sir,,

Can anybody comment on which file manager they used to do the copying and setting of permissions and successfully install Xposed? I see the OP used Root Explorer. I personally use ES File Explorer with root mode enabled, but I am thinking that maybe the issue I keep having when copying the files is due to ES File Explorer and maybe I should try Root Explorer.
