[Q] Best way to merge back the ".apk" and ".odex" files to be 1 ".apk" file

Hey everyone,

I am seeking some help for some way to get the 2 files of .apk and .odex to get back to their original state of only one install-able package .apk file..

I tried the "de-odexing" method of the Android Kitchen, but it didnt seem to be working fine. Error message of "There is a problem prasing the package."

Any other ideas how I can extract a single application from Stock or Customized ROM?

I need this help for building a rom that supports multi languages that comes with Market installed within it and having root access.

Any help would be much appreciated!

It's the only way. You have to deodex the file. The error message "There is a problem prasing the package" is not a deodex message to the best of my recollection.

Sorry I didnt get what you mean completely.

What I have tried: I used kitchen to deodex the files, copied the .apk file to my phone, tried to install it. this error message shows up!

by the way, its the same message that shows if you copy the .apk file without the .obex file to the phone and try to install it..

Any help would be appreciated!
