From What i've Done,
Copy/Paste Apk to System/Media
Change Permission,
Move Apk to system/App
Be sure the Apk Name Should be Have No Space.
e.g Nova Launcher.apk Rename to NovaLauncher.apk
Permission :-
[x][x][0]
[x][0][0]
[x][0][0]
Reboot.
Hope Its Working

Its same, push is done using adb... u cn paste it n set permissions appropriately...
But remember, there sbould be no spaces in the name of file pasted in system/app... 'my file.apk' is wrong, 'myfile.apk' or 'my_file.apk' is right...

Yes you Can use Root explorer.
Make sure Root Explorer Mount as R/W not R/O.
If i remember correctly NOVA Launcher is ANDROID 4.0.1+
ALSO try installing them instead of putting them in /system/apps if you want it in /system/apps look for the launchers on here and insert them into the .zip (the rom file) instead makes live tad easier. also save's ****ing about with the permissions
im correct about NOVA, so yea your pissing against the wind with that one

Since LG won't release ICS, why not skip ahead a bit and start adding Jelly Bean stuff to GB. Attached are some of the things you can use right away. You must have root.
If you don't follow these instructions properly, it's not my fault if you screw something up. Best to make a nandroid backup before you proceed, mmkay?
Boot animation:
Copy to /system/media, permissions 0644. Might look a little weird since it's 640x640, but you can't have everything on the first day JB's released
Play Store:
Install, done. Or, copy to /system/app, permissions 0644.
It's for US, so not all of the changes will be here. Most notably, you can't buy movies out of US yet (the option will not be there).
Fonts:
Extract the fonts, copy to /system/fonts, permissions 0644, rename to DroidSans.ttf (rename the original to DroidSans.ttf.bak or something) or symlink it to DroidSans.ttf. Do the same for the bold and italic fonts.
Added both Roboto and RobotoCondensed, as well as some more. You can only use Roboto or RobotoCondensed at any one time, you can't have your cake and eat it too
Wallpapers:
Extract them, paste them somewhere, open in gallery, set as wallpaper.
Now, doublecheck your permissions. Failure to set permissions correctly may result in bootloops.
After all that, reboot to enjoy.
PS. All of the zips are not flashable zips, don't even try flashing them.
Which. Ones can I flash?

You can extract the fonts.zip and the wallpapers.zip.
The bootanimation.zip goes in "/data/local"
The Vending.apk goes in "/system/app"

That's the Jellybean Play Store.
It adds "Magazines" and the ability to buy movies instead of renting.

Just do a backup and try it yourself.
I like how almost all of the questions were already answered in the OP before they were even asked. If only people knew how to read.

My boot animation.zip is in system/media.I have seen both used ..I'm curious now which would load if I put a diff in each spot...might have to try..
Update: the answer is local/data loaded boot animation when there was one in each spot...however the actual jellybean animation is loading but not displaying right for me ....just some graphics flashing for a sec then black screen til boot...same happened when I replaced file in system media. I think zip is corrupted.

Here are the original images, wallpapers, ringtone/notification and theme file from the Bond Edition Xperia T.
Needs root to get the actual theme installed, but can have the ringtone & notification anywhere as usual ringtones and select.
Skyfall.apk needs to be copied to 'system/vendor/overlay/framework' folder and permissions changed and reboot!
Thanks to JJD809 who kindly provided the Bond content.
If preferred anyone with a mediafire account could add this content as sendspace link will not last forever.
UPDATE:
TiMiN8R said:
Sony changed the way the themes work on jelly bean so you can't use this one any more.
Download the new one here and put it in /system/app/ (not /vendor/overlay/framework like the old one) and set the permissions to rw-r--r-- (0644), then reboot.

I love you.
With the help of one of your threads, I successfully flashed my firmware on my Xperia T to get rid of the O2 branding. Before flashing I copied & saved the Skyfall.apk and the tones to the memory card in the hope of pasting them back to their folders. Didn’t realise that the folder would be un-writable. Can any one give me detailed instruction on how to get the Theme back on my phone. I used Flashtool to Flash Firmware and ES File Explorer to copy files to memory card.
Thanks in advance

Check the root thread and use the latest root script to root.
Use ES file explorer and copy the skyfall.apk back to the folder it was in. (see original post)

just change the extension to .apk
or, even better, use winrar or winzip to extract the files and move them manually

its 'system/vendor/overlay/framework' or where the other theme.apk files are saved.

You must make the folder R/W not just R/O
You need root to do this, and then just click on the grey R/W button in top right of root explorer

Took this apk and necessary files out of the tmobile update 5.1.1.
(Root Browser)
Place files :system/priv-apps
Set correct permissions and rename the one already in that directory
This works on At&t Galaxy s6 not tested on other variants
*Confirmed working on SPRINT*
Pictures located on POST#19
Not responsible if you prick your phone or anything.
*Must be rooted*
*Must be on a custom rom
*If I helped in any way a simple click on the THANKS button is sufficient*

"Set correct permissions and rename the one already in that directory "
I have a folder named " SmartManager_PROVIDER " in the system/priv-app folder
Is that the one I rename to disable it?
Then unzip and paste the folder and contents attached to this thread in the system/priv-app folder ?
And what are the correct permissions?
I'm rooted AT&T OE2 using root explorer.

Yes just rename the file you don't necessarily have to freeze as it does nothing its already disabled by at&t.
Yes everything goes in the system/priv-apps folder...
Set permissions to folders as below... the apk and other files in the arm folder are the same permissions.
Reset...
