Froyo No Phone App. Doesn't work.

My phone shortcut states: 'Application is not installed on your phone'
I reinstalled the aosp dialer but no love yet.
Same thing here... I was using CM 5.0.5.3, tried to flash Froyo (from Modaco), but there where too many FCs, so I flashed CM 5.0.6 first (everybody says you can flash Froyo on top of this without wiping; I dare not wipe), and then Froyo.
Everything seems to work fine after that, EXCEPT dialer app and contacts app...
No icons for these apps in the App menu and when tapping the new dialer icon of the launcher, I get the massage "Application not installed on your phone"...
I even tried to wipe the cache for these 2 apps with no result.
This cannot be happening to just the two of us, guys, please help!
Did you try clearing defaults? Sounds like somethings not compatible with Froyo, but it doesn't know to go back to the default dialer...
I have your same problem.
The default are clean, but no icon for contacts and dialer, and the button says application not installed....
fix?
Hey guys, I had the same problem after upgrading to MoDaCo r17 from r3.1. Full data wipe fixed this issue for me. (after nandroid backup of course) Hope this helps. Pea's

Apps keep self-installing from Market

Apps keep self-installing from market even after full wipes, flashes, and turning off "back up my settings and automatic restore in privacy settings"
The apps that keep installing are from when I was on Cyan506.
Anybody else with similar problems?
it must be the google backup cloud restoring your apps, ive been trying to get this to occur for me, but no luck.
Mine was doing this when I was being dumb and installing Cyans rooter over Pauls rooted Rom. After I stopped flashing the rooter, this stopped. But every app hangs at install now.
i flashed cyans rooter over pauls pre-rooted froyo and im not having any issues. i wiped first so i dont have any of my apps but im not having problems that i know of.
Before you set up your google account, go through the settings and change the settings to not auto restore your apps. Settings, privacy, auto restore.
i do want it to restore my apps though. that or i want a file manager that can back up the apps and restore them once ive flashed to 2.2. it would be nice to restore SMS as well if possible.

This is where I'm at now. I'm missing my paid apps tab in the market. Right now I'm back on 2.1 and about to start a OTA for 2.2.

I did this and... they still started to self-install after a reboot. It's driving me insane. Now like I said, I'm back to stock 2.1 goingto OTA 2.2 and flash Cyans rooter.

[Q] Why doesn't "Data backup" feature work on SGS?

One of the highlighted features in froyo announcement was data backup
http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights.html
when you flash a new firmware or factory reset your phone the settings, applications and more important application data are being restored automatically.
SGS doesn't do this.
Did samsung disabled this feature? is there a way to enable it?
I know it's in the settings, but it doesn't seem to work.
When I had nexus one and when I tried CM7 on SGS it worked like a charm
(although many applications doesn't use this feature so application data doesn't restore).
it works... at least for me, but the truth is that there arent many applications using the backup agent. i have built one and the data backup is working flawlessly
after factory reset, does all of your previous applications are installed automaticlly?
does it restore the custom settings you had?
It does when I use CM7, but not when I use firmware based on samsung.

[Q] [GT-i9000] - ICS - Gmail

Hello guys.
Yesterday I updated from latest stock ROM to ICS Dark Knight 5.5, then for many problems I switched to ICS 4.0.3 ICSSGS RC 4.2 Onecosmic.
Now there's only a pair of problems, but I think these could belong to the same cause:
in the notification bar, it sometimes says it's running out of storage
Gmail works really bad, it takes minutes to send or receive a mail and the refresh button doesn't work
Can anybody help me fixing this?
I was thinking how to reset Gmail: deleting application data doesn't work, is it ok if I delete any file related to Gmail in data/app?
Thanks everybody!
look for datafix script on xda. it should solve your ''low storage'' problem. and for gmail, i'd delete app's data, force close it, then wipe cache and dalvik and fix permissions in recovery. if that doesn't work, you should ask the dev of your rom for some solution.
Try this,
[Script]New "Low Storage" Notification fix
Don't be deleting gmail stuff.

Hi, try reset factory, if dont work try another rom.
Help
Hi ultradj83
Why not cut your losses and try a more up-to-date rom. ICSSGS now has a newer version but now by Team Nyx (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677650). If you want to keep the ROM you have just open apps in settings and clear gmail data. If all else fails, try fixing permissions in recovery mode.

[help] Dialer/phone force closes

Rooted (stock) VZW moto x
A couple days ago my phone app started force closing immediately upon opening it every time. It doesn't work at all now. I am rooted, but I rooted weeks ago and this just started yesterday or the day before. I haven't messed with anything. The only thing that I have done is download apps from the play store... None of which 'should' mess with the phone app.
I have since downloaded an alternative dialer app which works, but I'd rather use stock. I tried rebooting, tried clearing the app's cache and data (in system settings - apps) and no luck.
Any help would be great. Either finding/fixing the issue or a way to reinstall the stock phone app? I am rooted and I believe write protection is off, which I had to do to install busybox. Thanks!

What version are you on. 4.2.2 or 4.4
There is a couple things i would try i have had to do it with other phone specially my old S3
1. restore from a backup when i the dialer was not FC
2. try reinstalling the dialer from the APK located here device/system/prvi-app/dialer.apk
3. pull the dialer.apk out of the correct stock ROM or recover img and replace the one located in the above folder and install it.
but to be honest option one is normally the best way to go and the fastest.
Thanks. I'm on 4.4. I'm going to try option 2 when i get home. I'm not exactly sure how to restore a backup on this phone yet being that i dont really have a recovery.
Edit: option 2 installed ok, but still force closes
let me get you the .apk from the restore img give me about a hour to download it and get you a link
also do you know how to use titanium backup if so i would install it and back up all user apps and data because you might have to do a factory reset. but if you backup with TB you and restore everything right back to ware you was
