Root Opsie

[ysuboy]

So I have been messing around with my phone lately. Mainly buying a whole bunch of applications that I regret because they seem cool at first then I realize there is something else better so I uninstall that one and buy another.

Anyway, I am not sure what made me just notice this but I cannot "open" a contact on my phone. When I go to my contact list and click on one of my contacts I get an error message that states "The application Contacts Storage (process com.motorola.contacts) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"

I am sure through my messing around I caused this. Is there a way to find out if I deleted something accidentally? Is there a way to retrieve this file from my TiBackup, if it is in fact backed up?

Any advice would be great. I tried to do a search on this topic but there was not much mentioned beside someone talking about deleting some yahoo files.

Hope someone can chime in!

And thank you all in advance for your replies!

Well, I went into my back-ups and restored everything that looked like it had anything to do with contacts and I unfroze the yahoo contacts stuff. I should have done one at a time but I did it all at once. Whatever it was, it worked. Now I see why that "freezing" feature is so useful on TiBackup if that yahoo contacts freeze was to blame. Awesome!

Guess this thread can be closed mods, unless someone wants to add into the mix to reassure others if they make the same mistake I did!

It's a known issue that deleting or freezing the Yahoo contacts app causes this problem. It's not terrible to remind people of this.

I will move this to "All things root", though, since this has to do with something you can do with a rooted phone.
