[Q] cm 10.1 2m contacts has stopped when accessing the dialer - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If you click dialer you get error message that unfortunately contacts has stopped.
I have tried wipe cache, wipe dalvik fix permissions. This is on a fresh installed of cm10.1 2m from stock rooted ICS build. I did import my contacts from my back up pro. Only thing left I can think of thanks in advance for any help.

Hi guys,
I'm sorry but I still have this problem. I wiped data from everything that may be related (contacts, dialer, google contacts, dialer/contacts storage) but still no joy.
I flashed the phone with CM 10.1 M3 a few days ago but frankly I don't remember I've ever seen the stock dialer open.

Found the cause of the problem. It was the theme's fault! I was (stupidly, I admit it) using an old CM7 theme (goo.gl -slash- 5wyP4) that was also working on CM9 but not in CM10.1. Apparently the stack trace was saying that the dialer activity failed to draw the interface.
Cheers
