I have found a couple people that have frozen or removed apps and are starting to get issues with their contacts. Not being able to remove, add, update, or anything with them. So I am posting a zip file off all of the apps for people that have removed them without backing them up. You simply need to restore the app that you removed which is most likely a yahoo contacts or email that is tied into the contacts. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2VU48HSU
Great resource this. I was going to post mine up soon, but you beat me to it. Only had my X2 for a day.
Do you restore these with titanium backup? Because I backed up the bloat ware and later tried to restore it to no luck. However the apps were frozen when backed up so perhaps that caused an issue?
I don't think titanium backup is good at restoring. I've tried it a couple times with no luck. if you place a copy of the zip file extracted on your sd card and open it with files select the application you want to install you can install it from there. I personally only like titanium backup for freezing the application I don't use and cannot remove.

I have tried to install the apps in your list but some would not be installed. Is there another way I can force them to be installed? By putting them in a location?
The list is:
Backup Assistant
Backup Assistant Client

Just use root explorer and place them in system/data or push through adb.
Reboot after you place them there.

Sorry, I'm rather new to this whole root thing. I uninstalled backupassistant with Titanium backup and my contacts got screwed. I downloaded the zip and tried to install Backupassistant.apk but it says "application was not installed". Is there a specific way that I need to reinstall? Root explorer does not allow me to change permissions from read only for "system" so I can't move the apk files in there.

Check and see if you are rooted first. You cannot install system files as a normal app. They must be pushed to system/app or placed there using root explorer. Check and see if you are rooted or that you superuser has blocked root explorer.

Edit Below
I think I know what your talking about, follow Nitros instructions but when you are at the starting folder in Root Explorer press the Mount R/W button, I believe as long as you stay in the program (or don't press back too many times, because if you are at the base folder and press back it will go back to R/O) any folder you go into will say "R/W" at the top. So just press the button when its available and THEN go into the folder you need to go to and the setting will stick.
Edit: actually I just was messing with my phone and the reason I saw that behavior is because I was in the SD card where its always R/W. If its not showing up then yeah I'd listen to Nitro on this one, though I have no idea how you got rid of Backup assistant without root.
So I just copied the app list you posted onto my phone and now its in a boot loop. I thought that when I copied all of them over it would let me choose to not replace files already there. Now the phone is in a boot loop.
This may sound stupid, but I am kinda hoping its reinstalling the apks, one with each boot? But I kinda have a sneaking suspicious that I just ruined my phone since there is no SBF
Also, the boot times before restarting are not consistent, does this mean anything?

If you are in a bootloop but all of your apps are still in place there is a slight chance that you could do a factory reset through recovery and the phone will boot.

Yeah I am rooted with gingerbreak 1.2. As of now Im not really concerned with the contacts anymore because I can still add and save new contacts. My concern now is that when the OTA Gingerbread update is out for the X2, will I be able to install it without the original Bloat.

Yeah my office tech support guy took a look at it and tried it, we got an error indicator icon when we tried. I don't think it finished copying, I think everything dying killed the copy process and left something important unfinished.
Now I am a little wiser for my new phone.

So I'm guessing the only way to get these programs reinstalled is if the SBF is available for the X2, which it is not?

I froze some apps from the recommended list, and I assume I might have selected something I wasnt supposed to.

freezing apps that you dont know what they do is a very easy way to get a bootloop
you can use the system dump to fix it if you know how to use adb a bd push the apps you froze
alternatively
if you can get the phone to connect to your computer you can use adb shell to unfreeze you frozen apps with the following commands
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
su
cd /system/app
ls
//look at what apps have .fro extensions added
rn appname.apk.fro appname.apk
//repeat
that will fix it
Contacts FC fix?
So I screwed up and deleted the yahoo files instead of freeze them on titanium...getting the dreaded contacts force close issue. How can I use this system dump to restore those deleted files? Can I install the apk's through something like astro? Sorry, total noob apparently....had no idea yahoo would have anything to do with contacts..oh well. Thanks.

i did the same thing and also i have no SMS/MMS notifactions probably caus i removed something else i shouldnt have, ive tried installing those apks again through titanium backup and pushing through adb with no luck so what im using for now with no problem for contacts is Go Dialer EX and Handcent for sms/mms
system dump
So is it as easy as doing a copy all from the system/app folder from the dump onto the razr's system/app folder using a file manager like astro?

not at all. be my guest if you want to try. A. i dont think that astro can access the root folder last time i tried, might have changed since, you would need to use a file manager that can access, mount rw/ro, and change permissions of the system files and/or folders in the root.
B. i tried it already and everytime you try to reinstall the system apps through a file manager it says installation failed.
You have to put all the system apps in the folder AND set the right permissions

So I've tried using File Expert, with Root Exploer, but apparently I'm having some issues when I try to Mount as Read/Write. Also can't seem to use it to change permissions. Anyone have any other apps that will give me access to the permissions?

Well, it appears that if you were like me and deleted one of those applications, you're SOL. I've diligently went through the system dump provided, and added all the items I was missing into my /system/app, changed all the permissions to the correct ones, reboot..and still nothing. Even did a full system wipe/factory reset afterwards to no avail. I know this method worked with other phones, but apparently, the RAZR kernal doesn't allow for it. It seems the only solution would be if a SBF was created that can fully restore the phone to factory install...fingers crossed! So what can we take away from this...don't be an idiot like me and delete apps...just freeze them. I think I must be the only one who screwed that up...=/

On a side no...."Go Contacts EX" is my temp solution.
Thanks for the system dump ... i check the bootintro ... i don't like the rogers ... ( rogers branded ... )
Sorry!
The application Accounts (process com.motorola.setup) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
The following error appears once i press "Done adding accounts".
I have already done data wipe. it still appears.

no need to flash the entire gapps on your case
download the latest google play apk in the themes and apps section of optimus one
search ES file manager/explorer (forgot exact name) apk on google from your pc (legit because the app itself is free)
now move the two apks to ur phone with usb
DONT INSTALL GOOGLE PLAY
install es file manager
open root mode something like that and grant the app root permission
now copy and paste ur google play apk to /system/app
AND LONG PRESS IT, CHANGE PERMISSIONS to rw-r--r-- (as same as all other system apps in the same folder)
save permissions
reboot ur phone at this point
bam!! google play is now back there in ur app drawer
becareful next time and do backups before touching red buttons in TB next time, mate

Thank you so much Miasmic.
1. for getting my query resolved with detailed explanation
2. For getting me introduced to ES file explorer. Ive been diving into its utilities since then.
Update: For anyone trying out this solution, you shall find the option to give root permission to ES under ES settings, also make /system as mount to write.

Why can't you just do this?
1. Download Gapps from goo.im/gapps/.
2. Put the .zip on your SD Card.
3. Boot into recovery and clear your cache and Dalvik cache.
4. Flash the Gapps .zip and reboot.
And you're done.

Do you use link2sd or app2sd?? There is no other reason your system apps will disappear because
of changing card. First you check the permissions again.
If they are all ok and still doesnt work.. then download any gb gapps.. unzip it in your pc.
You will find two files.. MarketUpdater.apk and Vending.apk.. place it in same folder system/
app. Same permissions for both.. not sure if this works on Stock gb.
And we dont know what all files you are missing.
ok.thanks a lot now its all back.
thanks guys

I already have a Gmail account..but after I flashed cm7 my phone is not syncing ..??? Why
Do you have Titanium Backup? They can be transferred that way too since yours aren't syncing for whatever reason. Never had that problem personally. When you activated the phone again after the flash did you select the box during setup that says restore from google?
I'm not sure if I did that after I flashed...I do have titanium back up...but don't know where to find the contacts file to. Restore back to my phone...looked through the entire program and can't find it..??help would be greatly appreciated....!!

I already posted in your other thread. But I'll say it again here too. It sounds like you didnt flash the gapps zip along with CM7. If you didnt do that, get the zip file and flash it in recovery. And if you havent already, use the patched CM7 recovery in that thread as well. Not the one you used to flash CM7.
Sign into gmail on a PC and see if your contacts are still in there.

HI im accidentally delete bluid.prop file from system folder
Im on stock jelly beam lg AT&T rom oficial and rooted.
Thats all i have done
This is how it happend
Well I was trying to edit something there with root explorer and then I have two files with that name but one says .bak and I delete the one that doesn't says .bak and only have one know.
After I do it I try to open the one I left and it doesn't open. Them I realize I did a really stupid thing. I search and nobody is talking about it on this forum. The ones who talk about it was an old phones.
My phone is working cuz I didn't shut it down but I know that when I reboot it I will be **** up.
Pliz anybody knows what to do?
The only idea that I have is to do a factory reset may be it reinstall it or something. But I prefer to ask first here to see if one of you (the prooos) know something not like me an idiot who make a big mistake.
I'm sorry
Thanks in advance

You should be fine. Worst case scenario just reflash the ROM without wiping data and it will restore the whole system partition including the build.prop. just make sure you always have a copy of the ROM you are currently running on your SD card.

Renaming the backup file to build.prop should be fine. Check the permissions it should be rw-r--r. If all is good you should be fine to reboot/shutdown. LGNPST can always recover your phone as long as it can at least be turned on. Like I said you should be fine but there is always options.

The remaining 1 is build.prop.bak? If yes then just remove the .bak, and you can open it now with texteditor, check permission make sure it is RW-R--R--, owner is root, then you should be good.
