Contacts App not working!! - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!!
My contact app is not working, yesterday I had installed PaulDiddy Remix Contacts on my phone via CWM... It did not work and now i'm stuck with it... The contacts app is no longer working... Although I have installed Go Contacts from the market however i'm still unable to edit or add new contacts... I'm not sure what can be done in this case...
Any ideas how I can restore stock contact app... I have a rooted I9000 running stock gingerbread 2.3.3 with hardcore's Speedmod kernel... Thanks...

Factory resett/data wipe will help.

Is there any way to do this without a factory reset ??

Not really

Can't I just copy the original files from someone running the same stock rom to system/app and then see if it works or not??

well factory reset did not work... Any other ideas??

Then you should flash the whole thing again, but with PIT-file + Re-partition ticked to be sure.

[Q] ROM backup

hi all,
i've got a problem which hopefully you guys can help me with. i rooted my i9000(2.2) with z4root and then installed oclf....
now i wanted to flash gingerbread 2.3.3, so to backup the current ROM i installed ROM manager 3.0.2.2 and did flash cwm recovery, then proceeded to 'backup current ROM' but i'm getting this screen - Android system recovery (3e) and its giving me the message that its' updating media, installing mulit-csc and install default apk-files... how can i backup the ROM? i tried searching but couldn't come up with anything useful...any help would be appreciated.. i'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to this stuff
you can't install a custom zip with 3e recovery install a kernel containing cwm or if it is easier for you a rom including it(darky resurection for example) you can also downgrade your recovery and then install cwm with rom manager(2.1 roms have 2e recovery it is even possible to downgrade it with a script)
easiest would be darkys rom with odin
do you have 3btn?
edit:btw you need clockworkmod(cwm) to do a backup

yes i've got 3btn and about the cwm it's currently unable to backup... should i install speedmod kernel?.... i'll try darky's rom like you mentioned but won't i need to backup first?
thanks for the reply
well you can't backup without cwm any kernel flashable with odin/heimdall having cwm will do it ...
with darky's resurrection you will loose all apps and everything
you should use titanium to save them but don't restore system apps in 2.3
backing up efs is a must tho...

sounds like CWM is NOT installed to me? (3e would seem to indicate it hasn't to me) but I haven gone to gingerbread myself yet.

remember you will delete everythinv on your phone (not the files/media but settings apps contacts etc. so save them)
you can use darkys normal rom no need for resurection

they aren't on by default with speedmod.
even if on it shouldn't be a problem because both kernels(you used dark voodoo with darky ?) know ext4 but it is better to deactivate it. i myself had a problem with it it didn't mount data..
if it works now you are good to go
just a tip make nandroid backup before any lagfix chance

before flashing i installed darkyrom manager and in the kernel option selected skip since i already had speedmod... i think i didn't use dark voodoo(installed version 9.5)?...but i did go in the advanced options in speedmod before the flash and enabled the lagfix and changed the data_fs, cache & DBDATA to ext4... i have already done nandroid backup....the phone has become so smooth it just feels different
thanks for replying gbohm.. you've been very helpful
you are very welcome.
you kept the kernel so what you flashed had no influence on your lagfix.
only if you chance ther kernel there could be problems.
if you flash a kernel better turn off lagfix (just to be safe)
in many cases there is no need to put it off but you have to know them with off you are safe to go...

I had that issue when i was still learning. You accidentally deleted something within the phones framework.
Wipe your phone and reflash a 3 part file ROM. If i were you go get the JVS or the JVT one. Also, delete the dalvik from CWM.
try to format cache and dalvic cache
my rom is jvr.
how to format dalvik cache?
actually even before i deleted dalvik cache, im having problems already with my fone

go to cwm recovery by holding vol up+home+power button.
goto advanced->wipe dalvik cache.
nothing will happen on my other apps if i do that?
try the answer on this.
this will be the best solution on your problem by flashing the a stock GB.

I agree with hackfinn, however softpinkishlips you need to be more detailed in your posts, is that a stock rom or custom rom, did you update via kies?

Best is to reflash since I don't have much information to salvage from your configuration.
If you're using Supersonic or a ROM that disables journaling, you'll get FCs if you encounter a power loss. That's normal. The solution is to reflash anyways.
There is nothing wrong with your phone. there is something wrong with your searching skills.
ALL rom's JVR, JVS have FC on the Phone.apk.
IF you'd be able to change your pampers by yourself, you'd use SEARCH feature to find it:
Simple, isn;t it? and flash
Someone has to teach me. I'm not technical when it comes to roms and flashing. I just do what I am told to do

2. Put it on your SD card
3. Reboot your phone to recovery mode
4. Install via option: install update from zip, navigating to the downloaded zip file.
5. Reboot
6. Check if helped and give feedback.

Try to delete it from a root explorer in system/app/gmail.apk
And extract it from your ICSSGS RC4.2's .zip. And then copy it in system/app/

Don't really know about it. But did you try re-flashing the ROM ? It will probably solve your problem. (wipe all)

And yes, u can flash it

No I did not. I'm going to re-flash tonight (when I come back home and after my 5-years old son will sleep - no possible to do anything before that )
Should I make all wipes? Factory, cache and DALVIK? I'm aksing becouse one time when flash ICS (that was CNA) I did all wipes (with DALVIK) and I had bootloops and big problem to do anything, even Odin did not help. luckily after few trials (switch off/on, remove battery, remove ext SD, remove SIM etc) Odin recognized my Phone and I flashed stock GB.
I think DALVIK was a reson, but maybe I'm wrong

Try clearing cache,dalvik cache and finally do a factory reset and see if it is gone.It may be caused by the leftovers in /data partition.It must probably resolve your problem.My advice is (thought ketan said it to me first) after flashing any rom its better to do a factory reset and clear cache.You can do it in recovery
I solved it just after posting this by factory reset, thanks anyway. I knew about cache, i did wipe, but i didn't thought of factory reset (and still don't understand that well).

Factory reset wipes /data partition which contains the apps and its data downloaded from market/internet.It also wipes your settings data and restore every thing to factory default.Just explained this because you said still don't understand that well.Good to hear you solved your issue on your own
Yes, thanks. If i don't want to keep my mobile and return it for refund (i still have few days) and if flash with the firmware it came with it, modified kernel i installed will be replaced by original (it's in the firmware) and so they'll accept it as return, right?
Yes. Just flash your stock Rom via PC Odin, and everything will be back the way it was when you purchased your phone.
Why ODIN desktop and not mobile? Without everoot, cwm and else... Of course!
If u flash any stock ROM via Mobile Odin or CWM, The CWM Recovery will not be flashed and it remains as it is. So you have to flash using PC Odin to get Stock recovery too.

That's exactly why i talked about using mobile instead. But apparently won't flash cwm, can't do it in any way with mobile version? Last thing: As of now, i tried only stock roms. Can i try custom (ICS of course..) installing it by ODIN MOBILE and not wiping (it's just for test), then flash stock later, everything will still be back in its place like original, they won't know i used custom rom, right?

Yes certainly you can try custom roms bruh!! However all the ICS Roms demand everyday high maintenance so IMO installing a GB rom will be a sane option as if now, even if you just want to test that....
If u want a suggestion then go with rocket rom gb v22 my personal favorite however all the other gb roms are stable and can ne used on daily basis.
Peace

This can be achieved easily!! You have to Install Chainfire's Repack via Mobile Odin then install "Triangle Away" App to remove yellow Triangle on Start up. Then flash again the stock firmware using PC Odin.
It is confirmed work!!
This was just an skeletal overview for indepth steps please refer to the corresponding threads!!

Thanks for the answer, i already have Odin Mobile and always flashed with it, so no triangle. Chainfire repack, i should install that only if i wanna try ICS, right?

Flashing stock kernal doesnt give triangle in any way.I would suggest you not to use ICS leak rom as many suffered from not able to go back to stock after that.As of now I know only 1 developer has recovered his note after struggling for nearly 10 hours.So stay away from it.I dont know about other ICS roms.But its better to stay with GB now.
if you are planning to return it, then do not try ICS. the leak is not for Note and this caused many users (of Note and Epic 4 touch) issues like a fried flash drive. All the GB custom ROMs are pretty much stable.
I'm about to start. I have "Odin3 v1.85" that's the right one? I already have the KKA firmware md5 file, i put it in phone or pda? What should i put in CSC & other case? And where do i get the right files?
Please anyone..?

Factory reset
Hi all guys,
reading this post I saw that everyone said not to use a factory reset from CWM, because otherwise there's the risk to brick the phone.
Might I ask why?
I've used the factory reset many times in GB, and in ICS aswell (but on an HTC desire, not on the Galaxy note).
So.. why is it unsafe to factory reset trough CWM, if using ICS LPY?
I'm back on stock LPY and rooted again, everything works again!
Thank you guys, for your help!

back up your important data to your sd card just in case and remove it before doing anything. also some apps lets you back up user data. back that up to your sd card as well. will save you headache from setting up your apps again.
