Did you try to replace your dialer with some other ported one etc? Or flashed some theme?
If in emergency you can install an app like contact plus or any other dialer app from app store.

That's not the point PCC will restore your dialer but you will lose root in the process so you will need to reroot the device

1.If you are on 4.1.2, go to settings>apps>all apps and see for contacts in the list maybe it is disabled
If you are on 4.3, go to settings>apps>disabled and see there
2. Try clearing data of XperiaHome
3. If you are using xposed modules, maybe you have hidden that app from home
4. Check your system/app directory and see if the apk is present there
Hope it helps

You can disable it - problem solved But I agree, for those who are rooted, it's best to get rid of what you don't need to...
BTW. they should really STOP putting all this FB/Twitter crap on our phones... you can get those from Play, no need to put it as a "factory app" that can't be removed
I can't find the "reply with message" bar while getting a call guess I removed a APK by mistake

Hi,
I deinstalled Facebook App with Titanium Backup,
but it seems to recover itself automatically after restart. Does anyone have a solution for this?
Android 4.2.2 Xperia Z (Rooted by Easy Rooting Toolkit)
I used Titanium Backup to delete HTC Sense from my phone, because I read in multiple places that it just slows the phone down if you have a costum launcher installed. Problem is: I remember thinking about doing it, but I am not even really sure I did it. I only know that when pressing home, it doesn't give me the choice to enter in it. How to tell if I removed it? And if I did, is it possible to restore it somehow e.g. factory reset, without a backup?

The way you can check if it's deleted is either go to titanium backup and search for the app, or go into the apps menu and search for the app again.
You can get it back by either Reflashing the rom or having a backup. Or go to the rom root dir system/apps and search for it there.
I've been using CM10 so I don't remember the exact app name, but it shouldn't be hard to figure out :3

In case you want it back, just extract it from any of the sense based roms around here. Or if you don't wanna download a whole rom, tell me. I'll upload the rosie for you

Getting the same issue. Also my phone doesn't seem to be connecting to the PC although the USb is plugged in. I restarted my phone and the icons got grayed out too.. These are the icons on the bottom of eachhomescreen (the ones for phone, messages etc)
I had this try going into you settings/apps/all and then disable(freeze) the offending app uninstall any updates then enable it again, that's how I got my icons back. Its safe to update afterwards. Hope this helps?

Apart from the restart method that some have tried, you could use a task manager and kill "xperia home". That will force the launcher to reload again and you'll see your icons there. A lot more faster than a reboot .

You make backups with recovery. You can also make a backup of the xperia home apk with titanium backup that you can restore,
I can provide you with the file when I get time.
Just remember that in future it is always good practice to backup things up before you flash anything or replace system apps. that way when things go wrong (Or if you don't like the result) then you can easily go back without having to ask for someone to provide you with the files that you once had on your phone.

You throw them in system/apps and overwrite.
Restart and then it should be back to normal.

seeing as you never mentioned which rom you were on I presumed you wanted the stock systemUI.apk.
If you want something different then extract it from your rom download and put it in system/app using root explorer and change the permissions so they are the same as other apps.
HINT
put it in system
long press on it and choose change permissions
change them to this
[*][*][-]
[*][-][-]
[*][-][-]
then move it to system/app
reboot

root the phone and delete the update app from /system, I've always done this way
this way you will loose also some sony apps updates maybe, but you can still get them here in the forum (even more updated from other phones maybe)
I am with the rooting approach. But in that case you can simply freeze it then.
If you don't like rooting you may try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.weborienteer.utilits.hibernate&hl=en . It can hibernate many system apps.
