[Q] How to odex\deodex a new system APK

Hi there guys, hows it going?
I needed to replace a system .apk file, but i ended screwing up my phone...
So the file was Bluetooth.apk and i pushed it onto /system/app/Bluetooth.apk, replacing the old file.
However, when i rebooted, the mobile hanged and i get the errors:
Code:
E/AndroidRuntime( 2301): Uncaught handler: thread android.server.ServerThread exiting due to uncaught exception
E/AndroidRuntime( 2301): *** EXCEPTION IN SYSTEM PROCESS. System will crash.

E/AndroidRuntime( 2301): Crash logging skipped, no checkin service
I/ANDROID_DEBUG( 2301): dumpstate > /data/log/dumpstate_sys.log
I ripped this apk from a ROM where there was the .apk and the .odex file for each app in /system/app, so I think i'm missing something here.
Can anyone shed some light?
Thanks

I had the same issue when updating from KitKat 4.4.4 to the latest build yesterday. I wasn't even aware of installing CM12! Now I installed the NIGHTLY from 15.01.2015 and it's at least working stable. The only thing I've found out so far is, that pictured won't get saved. But I barely use my phone to make pictures...
For the future: We need a better update policy here... Someone should at least post, what we're installing and if it's working. Some kind of a testing threat or something so that you can be sure, that your system most likely won't get screwed!

just install this patch http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58350489&postcount=223

[Q] "android.process.media has stopped" Stock 5.1.1

Hi,
I've just updated my phone to stock 5.1.1 and I've deleted some system apps I don't need like I've done with 5.1.
Everythings works perfectly except that when I try to open the Download Manager it says "android.process.media has stopped" and I can't use it.
I've seen that I've deleted one more app thant with 5.1, DocumentsUI. Can it be this missing app that cause this error ?
Ive tried to put it back by extracting it from the system.img and moving it's folder in the right place with the same system right but the problem is still the same.
Kind regards

As it's a UI - User interface I'd say so. Start again and freeze apps you are not 100%sure of. You can unfreeze if it's needed.
SENT BY ENTANGLEMENT

I've done some investigations on my brother's phone and now I'm pretty sur that my problem is because I've deleted the Docs app that was in system\app\DocumentsUI.
Is there a way to put it back without flashing the whole ROM again ?

I've still got this problem. I have this logcat if someone is able to help me...

Launcher background image not possible on rooted [Tolino Page 11.2.3]

I rooted my Tolino Page some times ago and was able to install "ADW Launcher" and set background image using "Wallpaper Changer". At the time the firmware was 10.0.1 based on Android 4.0.4.
Since some weeks tolino published an update to 11.2.3, based on Android 4.4.2.
Device updated, factory-reset, rooted, installed all apps again, all is working as expected with the exception the background image cannot be set in launcher. I tried different launchers, all with the same issue, I just get a message "Error appears, please try again after reboot" (message free translated from german).
Any idea what is missed? Is there any software I can install to try to solve the issue? What I can check to find the reason?
I am firm with linux-command line and can apply patches and compile components if I get the right howto how to setup build environment.
I can manupulate directly the system as root trough adb shell
The used build is [not allowed to post , search for "mytolino update", then "page"]
The source code is [not allowed to post , search for "mytolino open source", then "page"]

I am Android noob, but I get set up a working AOSP build environment for ntx_6sl. So I can try some compiled files if I know which are necessary to set the WallpaperService running
