Root GB .595 problems with contacts?

[xliderider]

Noticed that I can't view or edit my contacts after loading GB .595 both odexed and deodexed rooted versions.

When I long press on the contact and select Edit or View, it just closes out to the home screen. Happens from both the Contacts icon in the app drawer or from the Dialer, Contacts tab.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

have you tried to wipe cache???


you may have to reflash .595

 

[xliderider]

Yeah, tried doing both, wiped cache and reflashed the System files. Still getting the same problem.

Did you remove any bloat?

i guarantee he removed/renamed/froze at least one of the "yahoo" bloatware apps...cant remember which one causes the contact problems..

I did rename the yahoo bloatware to .bak, along with a bunch of other stuff...

Tried a reboot, now I'm in a bootloop like in this thread:

Pulled my battery to conserve it till I can try an sbf file.

Next time you go to remove bloatware, check my thread:

It's not totally comprehensive but it does note what a bunch of the bloatware does and notes problems with removing three of the blur APKs/causing force closes for contacts.

Thanks, I think I renamed Blur_yahoo.apk and Blur_activesync.apk

I was able to recover from the bootlooping by booting into bootloader, sbf'ing, flashing .588 and then flashing the .595 deodexed rom.

Thanks to all who replied to this thread.
