[Q] [HELP NEEDED] accountsandsyncsetting.odex ODEX file

All:
I've accidentally deleted accountsandsyncseetings app using Titanium backup on my Galaxy-Y. To restore it, I've copied accountsandsyncseetings.apk at /system/app folder using 'root explorer', but I'm not seeing 'Account and Sync Settings' option in Settings yet.
After looking at /system/app folder, I realized that each apk has a corresponding odex file. Do I need the ODEX file for accountsandsyncseetings? If yes, where do I get it.
Information:
Model: GalaxyY (India)
Build: 2.3.6 Touchwiz
Thanks in advance.

Do I just need to copy it in /system/app and reboot my cell? Or are there any other steps involved?

Thanks a lot.
However, even after copying .apk and .odex files in system/app directory and setting up the permissions and rebooting, I still do not see 'Accounts and Sync Settings' in my Settings menu. I've downloaded the apk from a spreadsheet provided on xda-forums for Galaxy Y.
Please look at the attached screenshots and help me to get this setting back.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

Silvane already told. If you want too much specifics - download the odex file and copy it to your sd card. Now open root explorer and select rw mode on top. Now goto sd card and find where you kept the odex and copy it. Now go back and open system/app and paste it here. And i assume you have the apk of it already in the system/app folder. Now restart. If it does not come, make a cwm backup (you must have upto 300 mb of free space - it is advised but 200 will also do). After backup you can restore. You will get it back.

Thanks. I've tried my best to google it but I can't find cwm for Galaxy Y. I don't see it in the list of supported devices on cwm website.
Please point me to the instruction page for installing cwm. I'm sorry for the barrage of questions, but I'm very much new with Android development.

Well cwm for sgy is just scattered all over the forum lol. sorry I don't have a specific link but it's easy to find. :x
Btw I think the problem is the apk. It might not be for SGY. Because that spreadsheet isn't for SGY specifically. Ask someone to upload one for you. Can't get it myself. On phone again. :x
Oh and make sure the apk is from stock, not deodexed, to anyone who wants to help and upload for him.

You might have been right but there is no apk file given. We say that he should use only the odex not the apk.

Yes.
For 99% controls of ui you would need to edit framework-res.apk
Though i prefer apktool + 7zip

How to extract Wallpapers out of a ROM
I did this a while ago while trying to help someone out. It was a really good exercise in learning some basics about apks and such.
First off, read through this thread. In my last post, post #7, I show where I found some wallpapers in the Freeza's stock Rom. I would assume that they would be in the same locations for a different Rom.
The procedure in pulling wallpapers out of a rom is outlined in this post.
Hope this helps!
Unfortunately, my current Rom (Liquidsmooth) didn't come with any "built-in" wallpapers, so I can't show you how to do it through there, but that methodology should work for you.

Isn't it interesting how apks work? I found it quite amazing how simple everything was inside. It makes the idea of modding an app (by changing the various images in the apk) less daunting... Although, I know some apks need to be signed, and that can (sometimes) be an issue. I obviously haven't looked too much into it, but I had a good time searching through the apks when I did that exercise.

There are also wallpapers in /system/framework/framework-res.apk, probably never the current one, but wallpapers that come built in as well. That's how I extracted one from the S4 dump and set it as my wallpaper on my shift (see attached screenie)
@topherk - it's actually really simple to preserve the signature (when modifying an app that's not yours) once you know how to do it. What you do is, let's say you modified the apk by inserting your own modified images. To preserve the signature, you get a copy of the original apk (let's say framework-res.apk) and then open it in an archive viewer like 7Zip, then you compile the apk with your modified images and also open it as an archive next to the original. Then you copy the "res" folder from the modified apk into the "res" folder of the original, and BAM. Modified apk with the manufacturers signature

You could upload your edited files and all associated apk files.

Sent from my LG-E980 using xda app-developers app

Well, what files did you have to edit/modify? Reading your first post it sounds like you replaced a file within the home.apk itself? Any files that you copied into system/apps DEALING with getting this to work can be zipped and uploaded to drop box or box.com
So make a .zip of your modified launcher and the themes; and upload them.
Also what program did you use to copy the classes file to the original lghome3.apk?

Here is a Zip and in which you will need to unzip. Its NOT a flashable zip you will still need to copy the files over using an Root Explorer app. But extract the zip and copy everything from that folder to system/app
http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+Optimus+G+Pro/Mods/
also In the link above is zip with the STOCK LGHome just in case you forget to backup
Besure to reboot and or have an Launcher like nova installed just in case the mod does not work for you so you can easily put the original one back.
This works Great for me

You restart your phone then while on your home screen hit the menu button and select themes to choose a them... Or did you download the STOCK one? There are 2 downloads on that link the stock and the modded one.
