The pictures are files on your storage and you are the owner; while album is just an app that is used to view these files, the album app does not own the pictures. In fact, even the android OS does not own them. So even if you were to remove the entire album app, or even install a new OS, your images will stay.
Deleting/Resetting the data should be even more trivial and have no impact.

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

If I just want to delete apps like facebook, notes etc, do I just need to root my phone or is there something else as well.

You need root to delete system files,but you can disable any app you want from applications settings.

I deleted all Google, facebook, twitter & linkedin sh*t from my XZ as soon as I rooted my device, which is to say, half an hour after buying it, and i've never looked back. Must be tough for you....live and forget the net alternative to having live friends & relatives, you'll never regret it...

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?

I have the same problem with my new Xperia Z1, uninstalling updates worked for one app but the other two, contacts and phone do not have apps in the list.
Any ideas?

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 .

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
Programming is a race between engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

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

If nothing else is working I can't see any other way. Take a titanium backup before you do and it will restore all apps and settings
