After a lot of headaches and nandroid restores, I finally managed to get my contacts back WITH exposed installed.
I downloaded Contacts.apk (Jan 2017 Samsung version for Android 6.0) from apkmirror and installed the apk, the app installed itself as system app and I can browse and save new contacts normally. Dialer is broken though, whenever I type a number it force closes. Calling stores contacts directly still works.
To fix dialer problem I downloaded a very nice and cool looking dialer/contacts app called "Simpler" which can be themed to match your Systemui colors.
Finally I got Xposed and my contacts app working together, i'm happy! Time to do a nandroid backup now in case a new module messes something up.

Hey guys!
So I am using Fresh 2.0d and love it! But I am having one slight issue that would make it amazing for me. I use SlidescreenPro as my home screen replacement. When using it with SenseUI roms such as Fresh 2.0d, the stock HTC messaging app is overriding the ability to set Chompsms as my main app in Slidescreen. To prove it, I deleted mms.apk, and while it did set chompsms as my main sms app on the homescreen, it removed my ability to receive incoming messages. Does anyone have an mms.apk that will be the vanilla android sms/mms app that will work with the Fresh 2.0d ROM?
bumping to the top!
Bumped to the top. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Did you do a nandroid backup before you started erasing apks?
Yes i did, so I do have something to fall back on. But I would need to find an mms.apk with the vanilla android messenger app. Could i take it from an asop build and that should work with fresh 2.0d?
I think i figured it all out. I unziped a ROM in which the featured worked, copied the Mms.apk, deleted the current mms.apk, and pushed the working one. Seems to be working alright.
After rooting, froze some of the bloat, but now when I click on a contact's name in the Contacts app, it Force Closes.
I'd read in the forums that the Yahoo Mail Authenticator was the cause of this, so I did not freeze it, but I'm still getting FC's.
Anybody got any ideas, other than one by one going through them all?
Well, step one would be a list of everything you've frozen, so people don't have to guess which one of the 220 system apps you shouldn't have killed...
I was messing around with freezing too and had the same problem; I could view the list of contacts but tapping a contact for their specific information would cause a force close. I fixed it by un-freezing some of the social apps...I think they hook into the contacts app somehow.
Did you by any chance freeze "Yahoo Contacts"?
That causes contact FCs for me.
Just tried to repro the issue with the social apps and couldn't get it to break. I also froze yahoo contacts and no breaky either. Hmm... When it happened to me I just un-froze anything remotely related to contacts, restarted, and checked. Can't say for sure exactly what it was, but try that.
I ran into this problem as well. Went back into Titanium, defrosted both of the "Yahoo" .apks and it fixed the problem. Of course there are other things that could break it if you froze them so it's not necessarily an all-in-one fix.
i know for sure that the yahoo ones were part of the problem, but i also think it could be the email and other things that contacts use even if you aren't using those specific things
hey guys I'm having the same problem but I removed the apk files instead. yea I know. I figured I could restore with Titanium backup but it just locks up. is there a way to manually reinstall? I already tried copying the apks to the /system/app/ folder but TB still reports the apps uninstalled and if I manually install the apk it says install failed. TIA!

Please hrlp needed, my dialer and contacts have suddenly dissapeared from my screen. Seems strange, i tried lots of ways like changing permissions in system apps, copying pasting, deleting again pasting but nothing works. I have either to reflash unless someone provides an alternative. I did nothing but was configuring gps tracking services after which i noticed my dialer is gone along with contacts app.
I am deodexed la6 with jkay deluxe mod.
Help.will be appreciated.... Thanks

I just updated to Sense 6 by checking for new updates in my M7, but after the update was installed I noticed that the camera app is missing...
Every app and feature are there, just the camera app dissappeared. What should I do to fix it?
Thanks.
you should first check if you can open it by another programs help
Try to take a picture in whatsapp
There are apps that just add a basic shortcut to homescreen in google play cant remember the name sorry. (around 50-100kb)
If you are rooted check if apk is still there if not just grab a camera.apk from playstore or another rom.
So, after I rooted my phone I started cleaning out some of the system apps that I didn't want and couldn't uninstall (Google Books, Movies, etc.) and I also removed the stock messaging app (stupid). It turns out that it is important and now I can't text from any other SMS app at all without it crashing.
Would anyone be willing to share their stock system messaging apk with me so I can put it back where it belongs? I can't seem to find it online anywhere. I know I really should be more careful, it was a thoughtless mistake. Thank you very much for your time.
SOLUTION: I found the Mms.apk in the system dump from the XT1097 Moto X and used a root explorer to move it into my /system/priv-app (possibly unnecessary, I tried this first), then I just took the apk and installed it like a normal app. Maybe this will help someone, but hopefully no one else will be as careless as me and need it.
