I installed a modded version of contacts.apk that allowed it to show the faces next to the contact's name. I did not like it that much so I removed it. Long story short I deleted the contacts.apk from /system/app and I copied the original contacts.apk back to /system/app. I rebooted and it still does not see Contacts.apk (Dialer/calling does not work) I also tried doing "install /sdcard/Contacts.apk /system/app/Contacts.apk" and it still did not recognize it.
What am I suppose to do? By the way I also have the original Contacts.apk in the root of my sdcard if that would help in you telling me the commands to run
Thanks in advance!!

This is why you don't go trigger happy with the delete functions of root file managers. At least make a back-up of what you're going to delete. If what the 2nd poster said, another music.apk probably won't work on your phone.
Best bet is just do a factory reset or download SEUS and reinstall the firmware.
(please backup whatever you need.. sms, whatever. if you lose these, not even SEUS can save you; use the backup and restore app that SE gave you. provided you didn't delete that as well.... )
I did it hahaha.
I'll copy the Music.apk and the odex file if anyone needs it.
h t t p ://w w w .multiupload.com/KM08EGU4CL
It is in 7z format
EDIT 1: I can't put links
I was hoping someone could either upload Android Contacts apk, or point me in the direction of where i might find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

You can easily get one from Cyn's latest build, just extract the update.zip and look under app folder for contacts.apk.
I am not sure though if you need any additional files/apk.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I have the Darkys version of contacts.apk but when I try to install it, it simply says says "Application not installed".
I have tried copying the file to /system/app but there is already a contacts.apk (0bytes large) and it still wont install. I have also tried delting the current contacts.apk in /system/app but when the folder is refreshed, it appears again as the same 0bytes file.
Any idea how to get contacts.apk installed?

How this you go about installing it ? Am assuming if you managed to delete it you must have rooted and got adb running or Root Explorer.
If you have root explorer and have placed the files in system/app the only issue I think you have is with the permission.
Mount as RW
Navigate to system/app , long press the mms.apk and select permissions, change the permissions to
Read Write
Read
Read
Now do the same for the other file, once your done check below your file description , the permissions should now be similar to the other files present there.
Mount as RO
Reboot,
hopefully it should work.
Cheers,
Vikram.

I think that only .apk will be needed. .odex exist after start of application, so I think that it is only some cashe/data file.
My mms.apk can try download here.
As shocking as it may seem I want some blur on my phone! Im currently running gummy 2.5 but after using blur for a couple of months i miss the messaging, email, alarm, camera, sticky note widget and most importantly the icons! is there anyway for me to get any of this back? I tried installing the apks but to no avail. I think I could do with just the icons. Any advice? Thanks!
They won't install like normal apks to the best of my knowledge. You seem to have all of the APKs though from blur so try one of these methods, not 100% sure it will work but it likely should. (Edit: I'm not entirely sure what you are talking about with the icons, but this should help you get the APKs you want back)
REMEMBER TO BACKUP EVERYTHING BEFORE DOING EITHER OF THESE!
1) Download the empty InstallAPKs.zip from this post.
2) Open the archive in 7z or winrar
3) Navigate to system/app and put all the APKs you wan't to install into the zip (just drag them into the archive and let it add/update them. I'd have stuck them in the zip for you but I don't have any blur apks with me)
4) Reboot recovery and install the zip
or
1) You could manually go into the system folder and replace the apks using root explorer. Remember to set permissions to 644 for each file you replace if doing this.
I was (like an idiot) trying to edit the browser icon by using root explorer & APK Manager
When I went to implement what I had done in APK manager into root explorer I replaced my browser.apk app and aparently what I had done didnt work
I made a backup of Browser.apk and I even tar'd it but I cant figure out how to get the browser back - when I click install it says "installation was not complete"
Extract the backup then use root explore to copy backup to /system/app then set correct permission on
browser.apk rw-r--r--.... Reboot see if that helps..
That's exactly what I did except for the reboot, thanks for the suggestions (trying it right now)
It worked Thanks
Any idea on how to change some of the icons easily without getting a launcher? I want the icons like on the Droid Bionic
