it's possible replace the default contact manager with other one? like Go Contacts?
when i launchContacts prompts wich app i want to use and i set Go Contacts by default, but when i restart the phone prompts again.
I have removed conversations.apk because it was causing the same problem with GoSMS..

I put the MIUI rom on my phone, but I'm not a fan of the contacts app, particularly I want to be able to have it not display certain contact groups like exchange and facebook. I have the stock HtcContacts.apk, but I'm not sure how to load it.
I attempted to install it, install fails
I put it under /system/app, reboot phone. Isn't recognized.
So what I'm asking is:
1. Can you modify the MIUI contacts app to not show exchange contacts
or
2. How would I re-install the stock contacts app?
Can't help you with MIUI, but I can tell you that HTC's apps require HTC's framework.
I'm trying to figure out how to switch a phone contact from Phone Contact to Google contact.
Id just make another contact as a Google contact the delete the other one off the phone, or you can log into Google online and add the contact through there and it will push it to your phone automatically.
Here's a bit easier way:
1. Open your People App
2. Navigate to Menu>Import/Export
3. Export to SD Card
4. Go to http://www.gmail.com
5. Log in
6. Go to your contacts on the left (I can't get to the page at work so work with me here)
7. There should be an option to import contacts
8. Upload the .vcf file that is on your /sdcard
If the browser on your phone won't let you, just transfer it to your desktop (usb, emial, dropbox...whichever way is your flavor) and upload it from there.
You can now delete all of your contacts and sync with Google to have them downloaded to your phone.
I was just trying to change a couple of contacts on my wifes phone. She didnt know that you should put them as a google contact so if anything happened there never lost. I'm getting ready to take her from Ava to Myn cause thats what I went to and I think Myn will have an update for the new software update before Ava. And it's fast as hell!
Yea, that method is good if ALL your contacts need to be changed. If you only need to change a couple, just make a new contact, as a Google contact, then delete the old one. I just tried on my phone, and there is no way to change them for some reason. You can change everything else about the contact, except changing from phone to google.
I got myself into a situation I can't undo.
I wanted to try out the AOSP Email app because I'm tired of the stock app that comes with my Telcel-branded SIII.
I followed instructions;
Fully rooted 4.0.4
Delete Email.apk
Delete Exchange.apk
Copied AOSP files to systen/app
Change permissions to rw - r - r to email.apk
Reboot.
So far; the exchange accounts I had exploded. The phone freezes every few seconds and I get a pop up that tells me that either Exchange or Email has stopped working.
Tried to roll back. I can't. I had backed up both apks, but putting them back still freeze the phone every few seconds.
Decided the easiest solution would be to wipe to factory settings.
Even with factory settings the email + exchange don't work. Adding a corporate account force closes the email app.
At least the phone isn't freezing every 2 seconds.
So now I have a phone that has no email functions. I can add k9 mail or other apps, but I really want the AOSP Email app working.
After full factory wipe, I tried again.
I've deleted both files.
I've installed Exchange.apk
I've installed Email.apk
In both cases the dialog window says they were correctly installed, but an email icon will not appear in my app drawer.
With ES File Manager, I can see that even if OS thinks the apps were properly installed, neither apk appear in the system/app directory.
Sorry for the wall of text, but I wanted to give as much detail as possible.
What can I do? Do I need to flash stock ROM and give up? Has someone been in a similar situation?
Thanks!

I removed this "widget" without backup because I incorrectly assumed it was one of those widgets you put on the home screen. Anyways my settings app is bricked (I get "Unfortunately settings has stopped working" whenever trying to open settings) and after digging around on google I found removing com.lge.sui.widget is the issue.
Is there anyway I can restore this dependency? I have a stock backup on my computer that I'd rather avoid using it if possible.
Alternatively, is there any way I can change input methods without going through settings? I cannot enable any new keyboards because they require me to go through the settings > language & input service, which causes an error message whenever I try to access it directly or through my keyboard apps. However I can switch between the keyboards I currently have enabled just fine.
I found a 3rd party app that changes wifi settings without going through the settings app, is there any similar app for enabling keyboards? If there was such an app, I wouldn't need to go through settings for anything else saving me the trouble of finding this com.lge.sui.widget or reinstalling android.
My phone is LG D850 (G3)
Just flash the kdz again without the wipe option, is the only way.. I made that error in my G2 and g3
Downlod .zip file of your ROM, copy .apk to location and set its permissions. Then reboot your phone and it should work.
I recently intstalled the 16 build on tissot and while I was deleting some system app like contacts, I accidentally deleted the contacts service or something like that with lucky patchers, now I cant my contacts anymore, or use whatsapp. Can I get the apk of the service instead of reinstall the whole rom?

Update: When I go on the contacts app and I press + to create a new contact I get "No app was found to handle this action", if someone can give me a copy of the apk of the contact handler that would be great
