I have some apps I cannot unfreeze. Would someone dump their /system/app and put on dropbox or something?

I am trying to take a keyboard that somebody made into a flashable .zip file, and implement it into a rom that I am working on. What I did was flash the .zip through cwm, then found the apk, backed it up, and then placed it in the /system/app folder on the new rom. The problem is as soon as the rom boots, I get a force close error. So I took a look at the .zip file, there are two folders meta-inf and system. inside system there is an app folder and lib folder. My question is can I just take the apk and lib file out and place them directly into /system/app and system/lib on the new rom? and if so do i need to do anything with the META-INF folder? any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
thanks
the META-INF folder may have some script that does some other manipulation of the filesystem or runs helper apps during installation. See what's in META-INF/com/google/android/update-script.
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
Can someone send me a copy of SecGallery2013.apk and SecGallery2013.odex? It is located in /system/priv-app for those who do not know.
Hi
I have a question because I don't know how to install cereberus.apk as a system file.
I have single .apk file but in system\app I have some folders with apk files inside.
Do I need to make folder for my apk file or only copy this and change permissions (644)?
And which is the best place for this apk:
*system\app
or
*data\app?
Thanks a lot
If you are rooted you can use titanium backup to change it from a normal app to a system app.

Alternatively you can drop the apk into system/priv-app, fix its permissions and then reboot.
This is going to be an incredibly stupid question, but things have changed and I cannot figure out what is going on.
On my previous phone (Jellybean) I was able to simply sideload system APKs by copying the appropriate file to /system/app, setting permissions and rebooting.
On my Force, when I go to /system/app, I see a list of folders, which look like they have individual APK files +others in them. If I follow the same procedure as before and copy the apk to that /system/app directory, set perms and reboot the APK does not show up.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a different procedure to copy over APKs on Lollipop?
PS: I have also tried copying to /system/priv-app & setting perms with no luck either.
