Installing apk as system app on Android L - Android General

I am having trouble installing app to /system/app. In Kitkat you could simply copy .apk to /system/app and change permissions to rw-r-r but in Lollipop there is a bunch of a subfolders and doing that doesn't work. Even if I put apk in the folder with the same name as apk. So does anyone know how to do this on Android L?

Extrack camera apk from ROM

Hi there!
I'm running ResurrectionRemix MM build 24/02 with OpenGapps Stock 26/02. I want the camera app from RR. How could i extract the APK ? You know that Stock Gapps replace the AOSP Apps so that's why i want that App only, the AOSP Camera app that comes with RR.
Any thoughts ?
PD: I already try extracting with 7zip but can't find the APK on the zip file.
you can find RR camera inside system.new.dat in the rom zip, go here how to extract .dat file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57742855&postcount=40

System apps above 6.0

Hi guys, Today I was looking at the system partition,
I have nougat 7.1 and found apps in 3 folders
/System/app/ i know here have system apps
/System/priv-app/ I know here have system apps with more permissions
/System/framework/ here I found only two apk
Framework-res.apk and also Something like CyanogenMod apk
Today I have installed one apk in /system/framework/
My question is, what the difference in permissions of apps installed on this folders?
and why anyone install apps in /system/framework/ ?
