Root I broke my messaging/contacts, please help!

[oops]

Hi all,

So I was tinkering around with my newly rooted XT860 (Droid 3) and thought I had backed everything up in Titanium, only to learn that it does not truly backup system apps.... I removed a bunch of stuff including social messaging and socialnetworking, and now I get crashes when I try to access my phone book or facebook messager. I knew I should've waited until this phone had better support and fully functional backups, but my curiosity got the best of me.

Specifically, I get the error "The applicants Contacts Storage (process com.Motorola.contacts) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

I tried a full factory reset to no avail.

Please advise,
J

Hi there,

I tried a similar approach thanks to help from from someone at XDA (I'm forbidden from including links). I then tried copying over all of the Yahoo files, this also did not work. I then tried copying over files I explicitly remember deleting, this also did not work -- although it was successful in restoring some programs such as Citrix, Maps, and Streetview (none of which I actually want). Oddly, this did NOT revive other files I deleted such as Yahoo, Flickr, Picasa, etc.

I opened up Titanium backup and these files do appear but with a line through them, as if I removed them. I should note that this is new because I reset my phone after removing the files.

if you froze any apps, unfreeze them, then reboot your phone. i had the same problem today and fixed it by doing this.
