Root Cannot add/view contacts

[rvirani]

Yes, I deleted some files on accident, and I have tried to add them back,

blur_yahoo.apk
blur_yahoo.odex
com.motorola.blur.contacts.sync.yahoo.apk
com.motorola.blur.provider.yahoo.apk
YahooConctacts.apk
YahooContacts.odex

and


blur_twitter.apk
blur_twitter.odex

I moved them to /system/app, changed permission to rw-r-r- and changed owner to root.

My stock contacts app still decides to automatically force close, and I have no idea why now.

I'm wondering what would be the easiest way (besides re-flashing stock), what files I actually need from blur to make it work, and what I am missing.

Droid 3, rooted, stock rom, and I will answer any other question you need.

Thanks,
Riz.

I'm not 100% sure myself. Just to throw out some ideas:

- Did you restart the phone after adding them back and changing permissions?
- I wonder if you need to wipe data for contacts as well? (settings->applications->manage applications. Tap All. Find Contacts Storage. (This will wipe out all contacts, but Google contacts will resync.)
- I also do not know if you need to wipe dalvik cache (start phone in Recovery by holding X while powering. Press both Vol keys when you see the triangle/android/exclamation point to get a menu. "Wipe cache partition" [not "Wipe data/factory reset - that wipes everything to scratch]) and restart the phone

Again, I'm not 100% sure, but these things shouldn't hurt.

Shouldn't hurt more than what I've already done. I mean, if I can't find out, I might just re-flash stock and do it all over again, not deleting some things. Or install a rom with what blur items are actually needed, haha.

I'll see if it works, thanks for the ideas.
