The reason an apk and an odex file is present is, that the odex file only contains the classes.dex information present inside the apk file, the rest of the resources and precompiled xml file stuff is still uesd from the apk file.
This is also the reason one can usually swap out png assets without running into the issue of odex/de-odexing.

Many thanks for this clarification, and yes, I hear that Lucky Patcher is necessary step here as all rom / ksw apps are signed with the same key - SharedUserID thing etc.
However you say if one was to replace only png resources this whole odex issue wouldn't be a problem. This is exactly what I'm trying to do i.e. replace few pngs and couple of xml files. The problem is, when Kri (just to test things out) deleted launcher apk, system still booted up with, well, all launcher stuff present. So this would mean that resources are also precompiled and stored elsewhere?
