Need links to default apps for Moto C Plus

I was playing around with adb, and deleted some stock apps. Now I find two minor problems:

1. When I try to give an app permission to sd card, that app crashes. Also when i try to access sd card from settings tab, settings app crashes. I think its got to do with file explorer, but not sure which app that i deleted is causing this.

2. When I try to download something, say from google drive, the download wont start, nothing happens. I am guessing its got to do with downloads manager which i deleted.

Would be great if anyone would suggest what can I do here.

Thanks
 
Thank you so much for the link, but I'm really not looking to have to flash, if there is an apk file available for the apps.
 
Depending on just which system-level apps/services you've deleted, there might not be any APKs available. A lot of manufacturer and/or carrier specific apps are integrated into the device's ROM/firmware and not openly accessible to consumers. Flashing the ROM might be your only option.
 
Thank you svim for your time and advice. I agree, flashing seems to be the only option, but I am very iffy about the whole process. My device works fine without the two apps, I think i will let it pass for now. I'm open to more suggestions if anybody has any.

Thanx
 
Did you use “pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of package>”

If yes, that doesn't remove the app from the system partition, only the user. You can do a factory reset and get the removed apps back.

Or if you know the package name this should work to reinstall it without resetting:
adb shell cmd package install-existing <name of package>

Cant thank you enough @kate, it actually worked. Just reset my device and it all came back. Had no idea that it was only removed for the user and not from the phone entirely. This is a great way of debloating, and if something goes wrong(which very often it does), you can still go back to normal by a factory reset. Thank you once again
