[REQ] stock Contacts.apk/ContactsProvider.apk files JB 4.2.2 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi people!
I need someone who has the aforementioned files to gently hand me, because I was messing up with root uninstalling apps with a app named root uninstaller, and I had the unfortunate luck of the app being bugged and instead of clicking on the app I wanted to uninstall, it choosed the next app (which was the Contacts app) and voila, I accidentally clicked on the uninstall button, no going back. Now I can't dial anyone or add contacts.. Because I simply don't have any valid Contacts apk. Any suggestion to solve this irritating problem is welcome! I want to stray away as much as possible from ROM Flash/Reflash or factory reset so don't suggest me that unless there is really no option.
Thanks in the advance,

Download a call/sms app from Play then. You don't even mention which device....
Sent from my D5503 using Tapatalk 2

I haven't mentioned my device cuz i don't think it is worth it.. It is very far from being a known device, being restricted to Portugal very mainly.. It is a meo smart a12, and the technical name is ZTE Blade C2 V809(chinese manufacter, unless I flash a custom recovery, the recovery mode is in chinese, which complicates the things by a pretty big amount shall I need it..) I think that the contact apps around in the Play Store interface in one way or another with the Android Contacts app.. So I don't think it's worth giving a shot, but if you know any apps, let me know too..

Bump! I really need help people!

[Q] HELP!? ive removed certain google apps with titanium

i removed certain google files with titanium now im unable to start android market and gmail doesnt want to work no more either.. wil it be restored with a factory reset or is there another way for it to be restored? i was hoping to get rid of those horrible google ads ZzZzzz.. pls help me ty greets sjoegeliehoeper
Captain CHAOS...............
don't worry m8 its an easy, but annoying fix, all you gotta do is unroot, restart, delete the root apps, restart, turn off, take out battery, run seus, do the reinstall and you get all the stuff back to normal, after that you can root again, be careful, dont delete/uninstall any google apps, and it will be fine, if you look at the thread on BUG..........PLEASE READ it will explain how i came to this lol, it also give advice on fixing market if you end up with a stuck market (after the seus), there are also thread on what is safe to remove, use these for a rough guide, obviously there will be stuff that you will want to keep,
i uninstalled
user guide
E support
moxier app
playnow app
backup&restore app
chinese keyboard
korean keyboard
android.ime
latin.ime tutorial
voice search
and a few others, but i has to do some thread reading and learn a bit, but all the info you need is on the threads, just do a wee bit of homework after you run SEUS and before rooting and you will do fine
Captain CHAOS...............
don't know if you can remove the ads m8, but its only a small annoyance, just get rid of the stuff you dont need moxier etc, ive spent 3 days doing homework and flashing and messing up and flashing and messing up, just to get to this point, but its worth the time, so DONT REMOVE ANY GOOGLE APPS lol
heres some links for homework reading, easy

these are the google apps i have left..
google mail 1.3
google mail storage 1.6
google talk 1.3
google talk service 1.3
i quote u said be careful, dont delete/uninstall any google apps, and it will be fine.. :'(
Captain CHAOS...............
you will need to do a REINSTALL using the SONY ERICSSON UPDATE SERVICE (SEUS), you can go to c: program files (x86)/sony ericsson/update service/db/13740270 (or the number you got)/blob_fs AND DELETE ALL FILES
Then run seus to get a totally fresh download and update install, after its finished let it boot etc, install root apk and root again, but dont delete ANY google apps,
as i said do some reading from the above listed threads, if you were here it would take me 20 mins but trying to write it will take a while..................good luck, im always here (well mostly,gotta go out sometimes lol)
IM 1.6 is a google app also, and you need this for market to work (the little app icons give an idea to what provider they belong to)
GREEN DROID=ANDROID
RED/BLUE SPEECH BUBBLE=GOOGLE
and some have either GOOGLE/SONY ERICSSON/ANDROID in the title,
hope this helps, just take it slow, if you need keep your computer running with the XDA THREADS SHOWING for reference
you the man homie all i did was this unroot, restart, delete the root apps, restart, turn off, and run the sony pc companion app to update it.. it said i had the latest version already but i chose to recover and so on i did as i was told nd voila a new fresh copy only most of the data like phonebook messages etc were gone but who cares its running smooth again.. il go nd customize to my own again.. i'l leave these google apps alone this time but stil be looking for a way to remove these stupid ads ;p thanks alot.. take care
all you need is the full version of titanium backup.. It had a freeze/defrost option.. its like uninstalling without actually uninstalling lol.. u can do all the trial n errors u want without having to reroot al d time!!
Hope it helps!!

[Q] Instagram blocked my device

Hi!
I have a problem.... Instagram have blocked my device. Not my account, because I can log in to it from other devices or via the web, but I can not login using my device or even create any other accounts...
I have rooted S3 with 4.1.2... But I don't want to reset my device to try if that works... I don't even know if that would work?
On iOS there is an option of chaining some kind of keychain file... is there something similar on Android? or there is other options?
Thanks
Have you tried uninstalling it and resinstalling?

OK... after trying all kind of stuff... even switching to other Android ID using Titanium Pro did't help... so, the olny way I found was reseting device to factory state.
But if some one finds other solution, it would be great if you cold share with us.

nop... There is an solution, but it`s crapy...
I restored the device several times- installed other rooms and so one... They are not bloking the imei, but they are having some file on the phone, that includes the info about the violetion.
So the option is to reset the device to factory settings, install instagram,, opne it... Hit the Sign in button and then go to RAM clearing options- clear RAM memory and switch back to Instagram, but be sure the screen is where you must sign in the username and password and vuola... your in... After signing out, you must do the same thing when you need to sign in with other account or other one or creat new one... as soon as you pres sign in button- clear RAM and then sign in.
at the moment it`s the only solution I found, but have not been seeking for the option to find the file which is responsible for the info about the violetion.

still I'm really curious where instagram get's the information about being blocked from, since I changed my Android ID, even created a new Googleaccount and reset everything. The app "LBE Privacy Guard" says Instagram doesn't check the IMEI, but I'm not sure about that.

I have Samsung Galaxy Advance (i9070) running on JellyBean 4.1.2. I factory reset my phone
but to no avail, I'm still banned in instagram. My device is just banned cause my account works fine in their website
and other devices. How did you get through with your problem @Fabolous93085 ?
My device also blocked my phone. How can I fix this?

Hello everyone who have the same problem with me. My S grand2 disabled too, but my instagram still active, i can still login on other device/bluestacks.
Now, I have solution about this after instagram make me confuse for a couple of weeks.
I tried this on my Android Device (SGrand2), just install app called IMAGINE for Instagram. You can google it. Or i recommend to download from onhax web with search keyword "imagine". (sorry i still can't post link)
Once installed you can login from that app not from instagram official app. And the good news, you also get some new features there.
Thanks! Hope it can solve your problem.

[Q] Possible to run multiple instances of same APK ?

i did a search and someone asked this about 2 years ago, and the answer was that its not possible. But maybe there is a way now.
Im wanting to install 2 instances of the same APK
The app is: Star Wars Force Collection
Reason im wanting to do this: Once you install the app and login to your account, theres no way to change accounts without uninstalling / reinstalling and logging into new account.
Looking for a way around this. I have a rooted Nexus 5.
Thanks for any help

Or get multiple profiles (by custom rom or app)

ive seen an app that does multiple profiles but after reading reviews its not that safe and can corrupt your main profile / or prevent you getting back to it.
Still looking for a solution here, must be possible

you could unpack the apk and rename the package name... I'm not sure how to do this as I'm no Recognised Themer, but if you did get an RT to help you then I'm sure you could install the same app twice if Android thought it was a different apk when it isn't, unless it'd bugger it up by having the same app loaded in ram at once. I'm no expert but this is the only way I can see of doing it.

Sorry to bump such an olf post but im looking for the same reason as op. Running multiple instances of the same app would make life much easier. Im running lollipop so all the guides iv read thus far havnt had any success. Can anyone help?
I would like to only run 1 instance of the same app ,different versions though
Sure, this is possible via Lucky Patcher (I know, we don't love Lucky Patcher here). You can use the clone app option. I'm not sure how they do it. They change the last digit of the package name, I don't know if they change anything else. If it needs to be different versions, I don't know how.

[HELP!] If you have a Rooted Galaxy S6 Edge then I need to ask you for a huge favor!!

Ok, so I screwed up. I wanted to uninstall Uber using Titanium Backup and I accidentally uninstalled a different app right above it. A system app! I didn't catch it's "display name" but in the screenshot you can see it's called " com.trustonic.tuiservice. " It's the app that's right between Uber and Trim in TiBU.
http://imgur.com/a/McrDD
If someone could please make a backup of this file using TiBU and then send it to me by posting it on here I would really appreciate it!! I will reinstall it using whoever can provide it to me's backup. I'd prefer someone that has the black 128GB version (just cause I'm super paranoid now) but I'll take anyone with a Verizon S6 Edge. I don't know what this app is or what it does and I really don't want to make my phone useless
Lesson learned: Make sure you pay attention when messing around with your phone's rooted apps & settings...
Update: Now my brightness slider won't work on Ultra Power Saving Mode. Hurry everyone before my phone explodes!! Lol
Thanks in advance!
Don't get your hopes up from my post, I don't have it. I just have a possible option for you....
Try downloading a rom based on your firmware, dezip on a pc, mount system.ext4, extract the files you need. An next time you plan on uninstalling anything system, even bloatware like Uber when pre installed, hit backup before uninstalling! !

Needs to go in system\app\TuiService\
Hope this helps
I can't help because mine is not rooted but I can tell you that the app you just deleted accidentally has got something to do with Knox, so, it is kinda fatal...
Thank you to everyone that has commented! I ended up just flashing the stock firmware through Odin and then doing a factory reset. It looks like the program is back in Titanium Backup after I did that so everything should be good to go! Also, the Knox Status app confirmes I still have my warranty. Lol I went almost 4 weeks before doing a factory reset and I didn't notice any issues so I guess it wasn't that fatal. Thanks again much love everyone!

Please help: restore data/ache app of dairy/journal

Dear reader,
I love to write stuff in my journal/dairy. For this purpose i use the Samsung memo app (version 16.0.00-340).
Today I updated the app, and then went back to the previous version, but this lead to factory reset of the app.
The reset deleted the app data and cache. All my hard work is gone of the past couple of years. Also all my important advises for helping mentally ill people are gone. I feel like I let them down.
I am super sad right now. Is there anyway to restore the deleted memo app data? I would be so grateful and it would mean the world to me. Thank you in advance.
I am using a Samsung 7. Not rooted yet. I am willing to root it if its necessary.
