(FILE REQUEST) Need a few system files from stock I537UCUAMF3 - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Could anyone on stock MF3 (AT&T) upload a few files from their /system/app folder for me?
Files I need, and corresponding odex if possible: (a full copy of the /system/app folder would be awesome if possible)
Blurb.apk
Chrome.apk
Flipboard.apk
Peel.apk
Phonesky.apk
PlusOne.apk
SamsungWatchON.apk
SecLauncher3.apk
I may also need "/system/media/shutdown.qmg" because I know at one time I had changed it, but I cant for the life of me remember if I put the original back and cannot find any backup i may have made.

[Q] differences between odex and apk

I was looking at the system/app folder on a stock 2.1 rom and noticed there were some files with an .odex extension. The files with the .odex extension seemed to mirror to some degree the files with an .apk extension.
My question is: how does an odex file differ from an apk file?

Stock Apps

Could anyone please upload all of the stock apps from /system/apps (.apk and .odex)?
Thanks so much !!!
just download the rom you want the /system/app folder from. and open it and extract that folder.

Question Add apk to system.img of Stock Rom

Dear all, I need help im modifying system.img from Stockrom. I can delete apks (de-bloating) but I do not know how to add new apks!
So far I have done the following steps:
1. Untar AP*.tar.md5
2. Extract with LZ4 system.img.lz4
3. simg2img system.img system-new.raw
4. sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop system-new.raw mnt/
5. delete bloatware apps from system/app and system/priv-app
6. add additional apks to system/app and system/priv-app????
7. umount, img2simg, lz4, tar and flash (e.g. Odin)
I have real issues with step 6, everything I tried so far did not work.
a) add apks to system/app and system/priv-app with user root and 644
b) create directories in system/app and system/priv-app
c) replace apks in system/app and system/priv-app
While the de-bloating works, step 6 is broken! The new apps are not usable. They show up with the generic android "robot icon" and their canonical name (e.g. org.fdroid.fdroid...) and are immediately stopped.
What is the correct approach to add additional apks to an existing stock rom image? Please help.
