I show how to replace a system apk, that is a apk which uses the shared user android.uid.system.
You will have to look at
adb shell dumpsys package
and find all apk that use this shared user, because they all have to be signed by the same key to be in the shared user.
Then you will have to resign them all with the same key and copy them to the phone.
When you have foobar.apk and foobar.odex on the phone, you will only have to resign the apk and the odex can stay unchanged there. It seems that they are not protected by signature.
(More to come)
