I am posting this thread in an effort to reduce the congestion in development threads relating to the force closing issue of the contacts app in Touchwiz Jelly Bean roms based off the recent Bell leak. The following are solutions that are working for some, but not for others:
1. Go into recovery, clear cache, fix permissions and reboot.
2. Open accounts & sync options, select Google, un-check and re-check contacts.
3. Open a contact through your call log. For some this fixed opening the contacts app, for others it only allows you to view the one specific contact.
4. Restore a previous titanium backup of contacts app.
5. Install SecContacts.apk from a device where the contacts app is working.
6. Change the permissions to rw rw r in secContacts.apk and seccontactsprovider.apk, then fix permisions - Thanks Rybean
7. Flash the odexed bloated version, then reinstall that version without a wipe. - Thanks AntiSyrum
Please feel free to add any other solutions that have worked and discuss this issue in detail. Please keep all discussion here and out of development threads.
I want to note that 1-4 above have not worked for me. I cannot try 5 until I get my hands on a deodexed version of a working apk.
I had to change the permissions to rw rw r in secContacts.apk and the seccontactsprovider.apk then went in recovery and fixed permissions and it worked.

Didn't fix it for me, but did change it to a normal fc vs. a total device freeze, so that I don't have to reboot my device when trying.

thats funny, cause before i only got the device freeze, never a fc so it was a pain in the ass to find what worked for me.
Guys I think I found a pretty simple and easy solution.
Go to the Market/search contacts app. Install Go Contacts EX. BOOM.
My contacts synced instantly without me doing a thing and now contacts are issue free!
Your welcome. Lol

Not sure I follow? Are you saying the installation and sync of Go Contacts will result in the stock contacts app working issue free? If not, are you suggesting a replacement contacts app? On the latter, I am not sure replacing touchwiz ui/functionality would be be a popular solution for those wanting a stock tw rom, we have cm10 for that.

Your right. I am suggesting a replacement contacts app. Like I said, it's just simple and easy workaround until things get worked out. In Smartguys thread some guys were able to fix this issue and some weren't. This is for the guys who haven't had any success with the solutions suggested in Smartguys thread.
You will lose the ui/functionality, but there were guys in the thread who said they've tried every solution to get it to work but just couldn't make it happen.
So this is an easy way to use your phone until issues get worked out.
I like it i just downloaded it and applied the metal theme looks nice

As a temporary solution I agree, but I was hoping to garner more stock app fixes in the pursuit of reducing that temporary period for more people.
Please don't misinterpret my response, your suggestion was appreciated, just wanted to clarify it.

Just to add my experience...
My contacts were working fine until i tried to change the "contacts to display"option. After that it FCed every time. I cleared data with tibu and it started working again.

Ok I was having the same issue so I switched to the odexed bloated version. Unfortunately it didn't work but I did reinstall the Rom without any wipe and that fixed it for me. Hope this helps. I did everything and this was the only fix that worked I forgot who mentioned to do this but whoever it was thank you

I started getting FC's on Contacts after installing an earlier JB-leak. But I used an external launcher (Go Launcher, if I'm not mistaken), and removing this solved my problem. Every FC since then has been solved gradually by keeping up to date on JB-leaks.

Has anybody tried 1.7 yet? Wondering if Facebook sync works - seems like this doesn't work on any roms I have tried yet...
Don't believe you can sync Facebook in Jager 1.7
I can confirm it does not support syncing Facebook contacts. It also doesn't support live wallpapers. I just learned that a few minutes ago. Not a big deal to me, but I know for some that is a deal breaker.
ya, there's no HTC facebook option, and i can't select the regular facbook. i would just use his sense rom for facebook, plus it has hydras undervold kernel and wireless N included.
anyone been able to get titanium backup to work with this rom, for some reason app wont open then fc's after a bit
I've had no issues running titanium backup on jager 1.7. You might wast to try reinstalling it.

I have noticed that Google Voice cannot seem to become/ circumvent the Default Dialer. I cannot convince Google Voice to dial-out via my Google Voice account instead of the native dialer.
So I let my phones battery die all the way accidentally then this morning in getting some Google services fc and gtalk won't open. I'm on randomrom phoenix 2.2 rooted, everything else working perfectly, and battery life has been amazing. I tried reclaiming (after backup of course). To no avail and tried flashing a gapps.zip but that didn't help either. any ideas?

Use Titanium and go to Google Services Framework and clear data.
Thank you so much!! Went ahead and did that, GTalk loaded right up!!
Issue resolved, mods can close this.

Does this fix, at least temporarily, all of the FC issues when on GB? Something this simple? I quit using the GB roms because those nasty FC issues.

Just wanted to know if anyone could help test the fix for Blurry and Small MMS. This process does not require Handcent or using CM7 Messaging. This should fix the problem while still using the stock messaging. Please give me some feed back.
Install
Pretty basic. Backup a copy of your current MMS.apk
Use Root explorer or ADB push to replace the MMS.apk file in the /system/app folder. Reboot, wipe cache, yada yada.

Thanks for the help. If this doesn't work then i guess we will just delete this.

As I understand it you'll need root access to delete the old gmail apk and move the new one to system, so yes.
You don't need CWM or a rom though, just root access on a stock rom and recovey will be fine.
Well I had to take it off, somehow it seems my google music stopped working after installing this. I made a nandroid backup beforehand and as soon as I rolled back my music worked again. Strange. Really seems weird that would cause any issue at all... Maybe it somehow messed up the account syncing since it would only crash the music when I tried to stream music, local content was fine.

Awesome, trying this now. Been hoping for this. The all white makes my eyes water in the morning because it is so bright...
The date on each email looks a little funny because its color is off, and at times goes outside the border. Also the read vs unread black/grey are very similar. It works though. I'll probably live with it.
I've been using this dark gmail app for days and like it. But just today i realized i went to compose a message and there is no way to send the final email. Am i missing something? Doesnt matter whether its a new email, or a reply to an existing email message, i cant send anything!
Am i being stupid or can someone test or confirm this? Thanks.

Been using these for a few weeks on gummy and CNA. Working great and they look good too.
Ok after more digging, this dark gmail is acting weird for me. It is the new ice cream version for everything including inbox etx. But when i compose a new email or reply to existing one, the compose window goes back to the gingerbread one, AND it has no send button. And no action bar etc. But if i go back to the inbox its fine there. I just cant compose.
Only change ive done is 2 days ago flashed the transparent status bar system ui apk. Im on stock 4.0.1. Anyone know what the heck could be going on here?

i just installed the gmail app from that link, and it is the old version just like it said. not the new ICS version. dammit i just want black gmail!
this might help other people. the link in the beginning of the thread had a broken gmail apk, the send button was missing with other stuff. it was all fixed and can be had over at this thread from the nexus s forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412997
that thread actually links back to the one at beginning of this thread, but dont know yet if they updated to the fixed send button version. anyway this has been driving me nuts and glad i finally found the solution.
regarding the other link to the (http://www.rujelus22.com/evo/downloads.php) i tried the google + from that and it also did not work, and broke my system UI. so i dont know if it needs to be for 4.0.3 or what, but i'm on 4.0.1 and it doesnt mention any info about that. hope this saves others some time!
Before anybody flames me, yes, I have searched every forum related to this issue. I am not a noob, just a lurker, so I don't have enough posts to post this in the development section. Here is my issue. I'm running Task650 and Ktoonsez 4.1.2 (build 11.18.2012) and I am trying to install a working version of google wallet. Before I go on, awesome ROM! I flash others and always come crawling back. Anyway, I've tried every variation on getting this to work out there, with no luck. This where I am at now. I can edit my build prop and get the market version of Wallet to work, but obviously it won't once I change my build prop back. If I try to flash the AT&T Modaco zip, I loose NFC in my setting menu. If I try to install the Modaco apk, it acts like its installing it, and at the end I get an "App didn't install" message at the end". My question is, how can I get this to work? If I can't, what exactly is the effect of leaving my build prop set on Nexus? Is it possible to flash the zip file, then extract something from an ota that I can flash to give me back NFC, but leave the rest of the changes the Mocado zip makes alone? If anyone can help me, I pretty much always donate to developers whose hard work I benefit from. Please help if you can. I am stubborn as gravity and will either get this to work or brick my phone trying.
Oh yeah, Its an AT&T phone.
I'm on the same ROM and have not encountered issues. Flash the modaco zip instead of installing, edit your build.prop, then reboot and add your card in the wallet app. After the card is added you can revert the build.prop.

I must have had a corrupt version of the file. I tried again and instead of loosing nfc, or wallet not showing up, the installation aborted. I redownloaded and reflashed with no issues. Thanks!
Glad to hear it! Remember, if you ever switch ROMs always reset the Google wallet app before flashing the new ROM.

One more question. Have yuo had any issue with nfc toggling off randomly since flashing this? It seemed to be working fine but what I have noticed is that if I haven't used nfc for maybe twenty minutes, it toggles off. Its still checked, but I have to uncheck it and recheck it to get it to work. I usually set it to stay on even when my screen is off, and haven't had any issues with it before, even when the phone is asleep. I could write a tasker workaround, I suppose, but I would rather just fix it.
I did notice that occasionally the NFC settings become unavailable. A reboot always fixes it for me.
