Dialer/Contacts are gone

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!!

where to get stock alarm clock apk

I have accidently deleted the apk for the alarm clock and now I cant get it back. Is it possible someone could post it here? The rom im running is stock 2.3.3
Just download a ROM from here that resembles yours, open the zip, go to system/app and copy DeskClockGoogle.apk
That's the name of it in my ICS ROM, probably the same or similar in Gingerbread.

The PA mms doesnt have this option. You will need to take the mms.apk out of another rom (cyanogenmod has the feature i believe) located in system/app, then replace the one in your rom that is currently in system/app. Also change the permissions to rw-r-r. A root file explorer will be needed to do this, i would recommend root explorer.

[help]can't install aosp browser on 4.3

I updated my n7 to 4.3 on Thursday and everything was great. I'd had the 4.2.1 aosp browser installed, but tried to install an updated 4.3 browser. It would force close. when I uninstalled the update the 4.2.1 browser which previously worked, will only force close.
I've tried flashable .zip installations, I've tried pushing the apps to system/apps, setting permissions, and rebooting. I've tried just installing the app. none of these work.
I have browserproviderproxy.apk and .odex renamed to .bak.
please, any help is appreciated.
Try aosp browser installer from the market. Worked for me on 4.3.

I renamed the Browser.apk (asop from N4 I think) by adding a .bak extension on it before flashing the 4.3 update. Also renamed the browserproviderproxy files back to .apk and .odex. After completing the update, I renamed things back, rebooted, asop browser working great, just like before.

[Q] Google Edition Email.apk on MF3

Hi, I much prefer the email application for Exchange that is on my Nexus 10 to the one on my AT&T Galaxy S4. My GS4 is on MF3 firmware, so while I can root, I cannot simply flash the Google Edition ROM (although I would prefer to). I attempted to replace the email app on my phone with the one from a Google Edition ROM, but it doesn't work. Here's what I tried:
Remove SecEmail_J.apk and .odex from /system/app
Remove SecExchange.apk and .odex from /system/app
Copied Email.apk to /system/app (from GE 4.2.2 ROM)
Copied Exchange2.apk to /system/app (from GE 4.2.2 ROM)
chmod 644 on both files
reboot
Unfortunately, I do not see an Email app in my apps list. If I try to run the .apk from the /system/app folder manually, it asks if I want to install the application, but then fails with "application not installed".
Any ideas? Is what I'm doing possible?
Thanks in advance!
Are the apk permissions set to rw-r-r
Yep
