[Solved]
I'm running cm 10.1 rc2. I went ahead and changed the MMS.apk because I prefer the black theme or the stock white/grey. I overwrited the current mms.apk located in system/apps/ and changed the permissions to match the other apks in this folder. After I rebooted and noticed the icon for the mms on my homescreen dock was gone. I added it back through the app drawer. I then went ahead and did the same with the contacts.apk after changing the permissions I noticed both the contacts/phone icons were gone from the dock. I rebooted as usual and replaced the missing contact icon.
Now here is the issue the phone icon isn't located in my app drawer. I went to make sure it was still installed and in the system/apps/ and it was. I didn't touch this file at all. I tried to access the dialer through my lockscreen shortcut when I highlighted it nothing happened it just unlocked my phone. I'm unsure how to get my dialer to work and the icon back.
reinstall
I think you can use Root Explorer, go system/app/ then install file Dialer.apk.

Sounds like you broke your settings, just pull the settings apk from the original rom zip and push it to your phone then reboot.

Forgive me if I may sound a little dumb here but how do you pull it from the original rom then push to phone?......
I am sure one of the fonts did that. it has happened to me before. To pull somethiong out of rom just unzip it. Settings.apk is in system/app folder.
Awesome fonts. Thanks!!

YES PLEASE I redid everything on my phone and its great again but i would love to use a different font but i do not want to use this zip until someone can pin point the problem
the ajax font crashed my settings, i repeat do not install the ajax font, it will crash your phone and constant FC of your display settings, i extracted the original settings .apk from my rom and pushed over and rebooted, that does not work...still FC... not cool...
I pinpointed the one that's causing the force closes. can't remember the exact name because I deleted it right when I discovered which one it was. I do believe it had something like "7con in it. Or something to that extent. Hope this helps everyone that's having this issue.

Uninstall it using Titanium or super manager or whatever you use and it ll be back to normal.
I unistalled them all using Titanium and was able to open up my display settings again.
Edit: post before me beat me to it.
yeah, that doesn't work, i uninstalled all of them hours ago...tried to push the settings apk over using root explorer but root explorer wont allow me to mount the system folder to rw just stays ro, i pushed settings.apk over to the data folder where app is and that did nothing after i replaced settings.apk...should i unistall settings.apk from titanium then reinstall settings.apk from my rom zip? i try to reinstall the settings.apk and it will not allow me to do so..now my launcher is freezing up and force closing on reboots...
Woops same problem. Is it the ajax apk?

I have a rooted NT and GO Launcher v2.65 running with little to no problem except that everytime I reboot any widgets I have added report back:
"Problem loading widget"
None of the apps are loaded on the SD-Card. I've tried a clean install with a reroot with nothing done except Go Launcher and a gapp or two to test the widgets but still get the error. Am I the only one?
On a side note after I rooted I didn't have to search for the Go app link anymore it just accepts the default setting.
Thanks in advance.
***edit***
I reinstalled the launcher but didn't set it to the default and that appeared to have worked but once i set it to default the problem started again.

That sounds more like a problem with version of Go Launcher... Try a 2.5x version and see.
Thanks for the suggestion. I downgraded to 2.53 and so far so good.

I was having the same problem. I downgraded to version 2.63 and my widgets now work fine.
2.53 was missing some features i liked in v2.6x
Edit. Nvm 2.63 is failing too now....

It's not Go Launcher. I have the same problem with Launcher Pro and ADW.
It's got something to do with the Nook.
Version 2.66 just cameout, alot of widget fixes in it. Might be worth updating to it and testing.
I just installed the update and now my widgets are there after a reboot.
Im usin 2.66 now with no problems. Thanks!
I updated to 2.66 but widgets are still screwed up after a reboot.

Same here. Seems that this is a problem if you make go launcher your default launcher (using homecatcher).

Thanks, uninstalling homecatcher fixed the problem. Widget issues have been driving me nuts.
I had the widgets not loading issue until I applied the 160dpi fixes listed in the GApps thread here.
This was the only change I made to my system, and right after it no widget problem, so I'm guessing it was the fix.
I'm using GoLauncher 2.66 and Homecatcher.
Do location based apps work now also?

I unsinstalled homecatcher but now the "n" button will only take me to the stock launcher. Go Launcher is set as my default launcher, but it doesn't seem to care.
Possible workaround.
So this seems to have worked for me on my Nook Tablet. Using Go Launcher 2.66 and Home Catcher to re-purpose the "n" button. Go Launcher is set as default upon boot, and upon hitting the "n" button. The 160 dpi fix mentioned above didn't work for me, and I was having this issue on all 2.65 and 2.66 of Go Launcher. This workaround seems to have fixed it for me. I got the initial idea from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360036
Using Root Explorer or similar tool move your alternate launcher APK from /data/app to /system/app. Change the permissions to 777 (all 3 rows checked in root explorer). Then restart, and you should be good. I have restarted numerous times now, and had no widget problems.
Step-by-Step Directions:
Open Root Explorer
Browse to /system
Click Mount R/W button
Navigate to /data/app
Long Press launcher APK file (for me it was com.gau/go/launcherex-1.apk)
Choose Move
Navigate to /system/app
Press Paste button
Long Press freshly pasted APK file
Choose Permissions
Check all the top 9 checkboxes (Read, Write, Execute for Owner, Group, Others), leave all others as they are.
Press OK
Navigate to /system
Press Mount R/O button
Restart Nook
Usual at your own risk disclaimer applies.
Thanks ffwalrus! That worked!

Nice! I wonder though if just changing the file permissions in place (in data/app) would achieve the same thing? The thing I'm curious about is how will an update affect the location change.

I am really not sure. I think its more about the order they are loaded than the permission settings themselves. I will try with Go Launcher 2.65, and see if I can update to 2.66 and report back.
Thanks ffwalrus, works great!

If you dont like the Samsung keyboard that came with stock rom, heres an alternative ICS stock keyboard:laugh:
I took this from cm9, and so far encounter no problems.
Just move the apk to the
system\app
and the lib to
system\lib
also root is needed
For P7500, if you cant copy the apk to system\app, then you probably dont have enough System storage space. Use Titanium to determine if you have enogh space.
I solved this by deleting the weather widget in system\app since i have a better weather widget
WARNING: Be very careful when deleting anything in system\app

Edit:
So the key is to install it like any other app... unzip and select the .apk. It will work fine. Using it now.
Do you know if this will also enable the built in ICS Spell Checker?
If it's just the normal spell check, then this have it too
I don`t like at all the all black background and UI fo the TW email app so I would like to replace the email app from ICS/ JB stock ROM with the stock Google one.
How can I do it and do you have the stock apps to share?

I agree and have been looking for the mail.apk that comes with JB, im assuming you replace the original crappy Sammy one with the apk using a root explorer type app.
The black and white of the Samsung app is just not readable in my opinion; the stock JB is great
yes you can change it through root explorer or es explorer, you can find the apk of the email for ics or jb, then you have to replace also the exchange.apk as if it supports the stock android apps. make sure you fix the permissions too. I'm using stock as I hate the sammy mail
Ok i've uploaded them for you,
Make sure to backup the exchange.apk and mail.apk
use a root file explorer,
/system/app/
Place them their and make sure you fix the permissions.
thanks. are they ICS or JB?
I zipped the original ones with root explorer then deleted and pasted the new ones. but before I could set permissions my phone froze completely and I cannot do anything more now.
any advice?
They are ICS, but they are almost exactly the same as the JB,
you need to replace them after backing up, make sure that you set the permissions the same as every other apk in the system/app/ folder, after you finish everything restart your phone and it should work perfectly, if anything doesnt work perfectly, then go to recovery and go to fix permissions, it should sort everything out.

I recently flashed stock rom on my phone. Everything's working fine except Messages. Whenever I try to open it, it says "App isn't installed". Can anyone please give me the Messages.apk from systems directory. please i'm not able to send or receive texts
Have you checked data/app to see if the apk is there? If it is both there and in system/app that's probably the cause of the problem. I attached mine anyway, it may or may not work though seeing as mine is the Mms.apk from a custom ROM.. Try it though, as long as you delete the current Mms.apk in system/app it should still work.

I figured what the problem was. Its because I was using nova launcher and I had restored a backup of the nova settings from what i had on a custom rom. So the shortcut on my home screen kept saying 'App isn't installed'. But thanks a lot! nonetheless for attaching the files! It might come to use of others facing similar problems in the future!
PS: Thanks to Bala_Gamer for telling me about the Nova Settings
