[Q] messaging and phone apps not in drawer - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I used sgs tools to upgrade tw launcher, but i didn't remove my apps from the dock. all of these apps (phone, messaging, and camera) weren't in the app drawer after the uprade. I then upgraded my camera using sgs tools and now It is back in the drawer. The other 2 apps are still installed. whenever i receive calls or messages, my phone acts as it should, but I want to know how to get them back in the drawer. so i was just wanting to know if anyone has a solution. even if it is an "upgrade" like what returned the camera?

menu, settings, applications, manage applications, all, touchwizlauncher, clear data, reboot

Sense/Phone app and default contacts/dialer...

Is there anyway I can only use the default 2.1 phone and contacts apps while using alhpa 14 of Paul's Desire ROM? The phone app and people app do not work properly, showing me all the SIM contacts I have, toggling this off doesn't even work. Push/pull/etc or something? Very confused. Can I delete the phone app?
I replaced HtcDialer.apk with CM5's Contacts.apk and renamed it to HtcDialer.apk, now I get android.process.acore stopping unexpectedly.??
the errors could be due to the HtcDialer app integration with Rosie (e.g., Sense UI). i don't know for sure. you can push the Nexus 1 Contacts.apk to your phone and then place the Phone icon (with the blue background) on your home page. as you change contact info, etc., you'll be prompted to choose the Contact app to complete the change; select the N1 contacts app (as the default ap) and it will launched automatically. unfortunately, i have yet to find a way to launch the N1 stock dialer via the Phone button on the home page. there are a few other activities that won't launch the N1 Contacts app, but i can live with that.

[Q] In desperate need of a way to ensure my SMS app receives everything.

I am on CM7 on my Milestone and have the SMS/launcher apps locked in memory (although I uninstalled the stock sms to just use handcent) and I am sick of missing messages to the point I have got in trouble because of missing messages.
What else can I do to stop this problem?
Just today I tried texting myself a number (quick way to get info to the phone and never even got the message.
I have been in the application settings and watched it randomly restart which I believe would miss any messages at that time. Since I heard before when either the SMS app or Laucher is loading that any messages will be lost.
Try using the default messaging apk inside CM7 Milestone. As Handcent uses much more RAM compared to the default one. Also, try minimizing widgets on your homescreen, and other apps that constantly run in the background (i.e. antivirus, CPU/RAM/system monitors, social networking apps, etc.)
I will think about trying the stock again but I remember it as being pretty basic.
I have no widgets at all and Facebook sync turned off only other app I know that runs in the background is my voice caller id, which I can't live without.

[Q] Missing Phone app on my AT&T GS3....need help

I installed the Rocketdial app on my phone because I can't stand the dialer on the SG3. After installing it I found that the native dialer was conflicting with Rocketdial. I looked all over my phone for ways to disable the dialer and lucky me, I completely disabled it....now I don't have the native dialer app at all! I can see it in "Application Manager" under the "All" tab but it isn't in my app drawer any more. I uninstalled Rocketdial but reinstalled it because that's the only way I can make calls but I can no longer find the native contacts app either. Because I can't access the native contacts app...I cannot edit contacts through the reinstalled Rocketdial. Please help! I really don't want to restore many phone because it took days to get it the way I like it. Thanks
RocketDial is not conflicting with stock dialer, it uses some features of stock dialer ... I guess you need the phone application back to your phone .

Messages app not working

It's been almost a week since the stock Messages app started acting up.
If I try to open the app by tapping the icon, it will start, briefly show the messages and close itselt with an error prompt that allows me to close it or send an error report. If I receive an SMS and tap the notification, the app opens and shows the message, I can reply and it works fine this way.
Restarting the phone sometimes solves this right away but it appears at random times. I don't text that much via SMS (mainly WhatsApp and Skype) but it's annoying to not be able to open the app to send an SMS on the rare occasions I need to.
I have an unlocked US model, I'm not rooted or anything. Using stock with Nova Launcher Prime and a couple icon packs.
Has anyone experienced this problem with the Messages app?
I'm currently waiting for the 4.2.2 update to show on the phone. I hope this is fixed in this update.
If the update doesn't fix it, I will try Textra or SMS Now. I've read good things bout them but I really didn't need an extra messaging app since I received or need to send 1-3 SMS a day.
Having a 3rd-party SMS apps will interfere with the stock Contacts and Dialer apps in some way?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First thing I would do is go into settings > apps >all. Go to messages then force stop. Reset defaults and delete data.. That should reset anything you may have changed on error. If that doesn't work do a factory reset. If that doesn't work then I would say your launcher has a conflict

I already deleted its cached data and reset default options. Could be Nova Prime Launcher having a conflict with Messages, but the strange thing is that it started to happen long after installing Nova.
I'm waiting for the 4.2.2 update. When it shows I will update and do a factory reset.
Thanks

Remove Sony Dialer and Message App

I am rooted and I am in thr process of debloating the official ROM.
I have installed EX Dialer, can I completely remove Sony's dialer and Contacts app?
Same for SMS, I use a 3rd party app, can I remove Sony sns app?
Use titanium to freeze it first
If everything is fine then you can go ahead and delete it, if not you can defrost the app....
