Copy the "TouchWix30Launcher.apk" & "TouchWix30Launcher.odex" files to "/system/app" folder using any root file manager & set root permissions (for both the files) as rw-r--r--.
Must work, as I also had the same issue yesterday & solved using the same method...

Damn it. I wish I would have seen this before I did the new AIO last night.

do u know if this will work on a de-odexed rom? also, do i just flash it in CWM??

Or can I just use a root file explorer and replace the file?

Yeah it is deodexed. You can't flash it with cwm. Just a rar file if I recall correctly. I made it into cwm zips for deodex and odex in my all in one mod thread which also removes the sound for you if you want to flash. Otherwise you can copy manually and delete audio files manually to remove sound.

Audio has been removed already. So what gui program can I use to replace the. Apk? Sorry. Kind of noob.

root explorer or es file explorer. Any file manager that can access root.

{TUT} How to Odex your APKs.

EDIT: I apologize for not including this earlier, but I have attached dexopt-wrapper.bin to the bottom of the post. Unzip and push it to system/bin. Then give it the correct permissions which are
Read Write Execute
--x----x------x
--x-----------x
--x-----------x
I haven't seen any tutorials on how to odex an apk sooooo i thought i'd throw one up on here.
Before we begin, of course, a great big thank you to strongsteve, mpcdata and Capp5050.
Well first things first make a nandroid backup in recovery. Once thats done follow these steps.
Apps needed if doing it on the phone:
1. Rom Toolbox (I have the paid version)
(You can also just download a terminal emulator)
2.Get both Root Explorer and Astro File Manager.
3.Use Root Explorer and go to either system/app or data/app (system/app is for system files{most if not ALL of these files are already odexed} data/app is where you can find the apps you've installed from the market{!!!-I'm pretty sure the launchers are in system/app-!!!})
4.Copy the app that you want to odex into a new folder on your internal sdcard named "app"(in case you mess up you don't get problems ;D)
5.I suggest you write down the name of the app so you don't have to go back and forth if you have horrible memory like me =D.
6.Open up your terminal emulator and type
dexopt-wrapper /sdcard/app/insert.name.of.file.here.apk /sdcard/app/insert.name.of.file.here.odex
7.Press enter and check that new folder you made named "app", you should see both the .apk and the .odex file.
8.Next long press the .apk file in Root Explorer and hit Open With and then select Astro File Manager. Astro should pop up with three choices, you're going to click Browse File.
9.In that file you should see "classes.dex". DELETE that file.
(NOTE: you MUST do this from within Astro because if you unzip it will break the signature and file will be usless{unless you can resign it})
10.Once done you exit Astro and head back into Root Explorer, copy the .apk and .odex files and put them back into the folder you got the original .apk from (system/app or data/app)
11.Once you put both of them in there you need to fix the permissions, simply long press on the files (one at a time ;D) and scroll down the pop-up menu to Permissions.
12.You will have three columns Read, Write and Execute along with three rows Owner, Group and Others.
Your Permissions should be (this is for both .apk and .odex)
Read Write Execute
--X----X-----------
--X----------------
--X----------------
(I've attached a picture below of what your permissions should look like)
13.Once your permissions match the above diagram hit OK and restart your phone and your app is officially ODEXED.
If you have any questions feel free to PM me. I'll be glad to help with as much as i can. =D
NOTE:To Everyone: If i forgot something PLEASE let me know.
: To Mods: If this shouldn't be here please move it (if unnecessary, delete it)

Alred hit yo button but just wanted to say thank you in writing.

....um one major thing...your gonna need dexopt-wrapper script in system/bin to be able to odex within the rom

Was actually just wondering about that cause my script was in the rom already. Ill look into that in a few cause I'm going back to bed XD and you're welcome Cole I hope it has clear instructions XD

I updated the thread and it now includes where to put it and what permissions to give it. The file was also attached to the bottom of the thread.

I've tried this a dozen times every which way and it always says no such location exists

Hmmm have you put dexopt-wrapper.bin in system/bin and gave it permissions?
And did you copy the apk into sdcard/app?

Yeah I copied the bin file as well as copied the app to the sdcard location. I'm trying to get scrolling wallpaper back after el29 and somebody posted the old apk but it's deodexed and I'm odex on my phone.

Im not sure but check to see if the app folder you created is App or app and try it however it is there
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

You can also try odexing it from within its originl folder
Ex. dexopt-wrapper /data/app/galleries.apk /data/app/galleries.odex and then copy the apk somewhere outside the data folder and delete the classes.dex file then put it back in the data folder and set permissions.

Use search. There are couple ones in this section.

I did search and found several. But none work on my phone. I'm assuming its because I'm not rooted. Thanks for posting that link but it says there's a problem parsing package.

Hi,
Yes you need root,system applications don't install like other applications,they must be "push" directly in system/app folder and have the correct permissions...

Sweet. Didn't know we could install this! Can I just use root explorer to drag it there and install from system/app? Then do I remove the original messaging apk or does it just update over it? Thank you

Hi,
Yes you can use Root Explorer and yes just drag and drop in system/app and don't forget to set the correct permissions like the others apps in system/app...
For security rename your old Mms.apk (like Mms.apk.old or .bak) and keep it or move it in your sdcard,if something is wrong with your new app,delete-it and rename correctly your previous app.
Eventually reboot after and you're good...

Thanks it's beautiful. Now I rebooted but couldn't find any way to fix permissions. Do you mean in clockwork recovery? I'm using es file explorer. Thanks for your help
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

Re,
Yes you can set the permissions in recovery in advanced settings if I remember right.
I don't use ES File Explorer but Root Explorer but I think in ES you can change the permissions,no?Like Root Explorer:long press on the app?
At worst you do it in recovery...
EDIT:I just watched ES File Explorer on the Play Store and yes you can change the permissions (it's in the description) so it's like you want...Try in recovery it may avoid errors.

Thanks.... Really didn't wanna root this one

If you have your ROM on your SD card, try using a file explorer and extract the settings from your ROM.zip.
After that, just replace it where it should be(where you deleted it). I have no idea it it's gonna work but give it a try . Be sure to reboot after you
replaced it.

Actually I m running on stock firmware by Sony I have no Rom installed

Settings.apk from Stock MK16 ROM
Ah, I also had my settings.apk missing recently, in my case it's caused by v6 faulty zipaligning though
Here you go settings.apk fresh from MK16 stock ROM
Copy to /system/app and set the correct permission (644) and you should be good to go
Eh, usual disclaimer: it works for me, I don't take any responsibility if something happened with your phone)
Edit: Just seen screenshot on the OP, it is from settings.apk! what you've been missing is semcsettings.apk, I uploaded that also.
