Hi all,
I'm definitely new at this and trying to learn, I was playing with a ROM that included almost no AT&T bloatware and I'm on Telus S3 in Canada.
I found that when selecting contacts either through Phone or from Contacts directly, I get ATT Subscriber popups and its sometimes not timing out and I can't access my contacts. I tried swapping out the SecContacts and SecContactsProvider within the ROM with the stock ones from a Telus ROM, but after rebooting, it says I don't have the Phone or Contacts apps installed. If anyone can suggest what else is required to change to fix this any help would be great!

Is there any way to get the Contacts apk to show SIM contacts? I already tried to use the KH3 apk but it just gave me force closes... Can anyone mod it or somehow help me get it to show my SIM contacts?
I really miss that on my KF2 rom (i do not wish to flash a newer one as i got this one running perfectly aside from this)...
Today I tred to add a contact to my phone. Each time I would tap the plus button to add the contact it would error and FC the phone application. I decided to do a factory reset real quick, opened the phone and added my friend's contact info before I had restored my Titanium backup. It worked fine.
Once I restored the backup of the phone, I went into the phone application and tried adding a contact again and it was again FCing. What I need to know is what file that has to do with my contacts I need to not reinstall? A phone isn't a phone if you can't add new contacts.
T-Mobile SGS2 running BeastMOD V1.
Just in case anyone else has this problem, it was the ICS Google+ application causing the problem. One I uninstalled it I was able to add contacts again. Sorry to waste a thread.
you can install the proper version from Android Market, that one works fine
only the ICS version causes that bug
i encountered it too myself on my old phone
Ok, Im running shiny 4.2.2 (stock based rom), I just recently flash this one and I remember the Rom I was running before had a direct dial feature in the phone settings along with all the other advanced settings. Now this is what I've been doing for the past 2 days, downloading every Rom I could think of that I ran on a desktop, extracting the system/apps and installing Contacts.apk, ContactsProviders.apk and Phone.apk of course being on a stock based rom some worked some didn't. I know that RootBox has a mms.apk that has a direct dial feature built into the settings, so I'm thinking maybe it was rootbox that had that same thing in the phone settings, but when I try and install those 3 apk's that I need I get force closes everywhere ( android.process.acore) most of all and I have to resore a nandroid. Does anyone have any instight on what I could do or if it's even possible to get it to work with shiny rom?
The original contacts app
I had kind of the same problem. That error is shown when you don't have any app which can handle contacts and hence it takes down the whole package down including messaging, calling, etc. I tried the same extracting and attempting to install. It doesn't happen. The only thing that worked for me was titanium backup. I had the contacts backup there. I restored it with it data and things are A-okay.
Ok, so I upgraded from 4.1.2 to 4.3 the other day, not by choice. After the update completed, I noticed some lag issues and Freezing issues. So I decided to wipe the phone and put it to "Out of Box State" which completely deletes your apps and data and anything else and put the phone back to stock. (with the exception of 4.3, that remained). So far I haven't had any more of those issues. However, I only have one question I was hoping someone can answer.
1. When adding a new contact, How do I set the Default to add them to my Google account instead of the default that is now the "Device"
Before, I was able to use Google as default...but can't seem to figure out how to set it that way again...
Thanks in advance!
Hi, my mom has the Dual modification (GT-I9192). Recently I installed Lineage OS 14.1 with Android 7.1.2 on her phone (because Android 4 didn't support many modern applications already), and she can't get used to the new dialer and contacts applications. She constantly misclicks contacts on the Favorites screen and keeps calling wrong people.
I wonder if it's possible to somehow rip the original apps from the stock firmware and transfer them to the new one, because my mom really liked them. I had downloaded stock firmware (I9192XXUAMH2), opened it with ext4 unpacker, found app folder, but I can't find the right one. SecContacts.apk is what I'm looking for? Anyways, I just don't know the right way to do it. I gained root on the device and looked into the priv-apps folder of the new system, found Dialer and Contacts applications. No sign of SecContacts which I could try switching by the old one. And I'm not sure that it would even be compatible, thinking of different Android versions. Maybe I need some sort of flashable zip of the dialer app for flashing in recovery mode (I use TWRP, but it's not very relevant, I suppose)?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
