[Q] Deleted IM and IMprovider

I have the original Tmobile mytouch. Recently I thought of rooting it. I used universalandroot and rooted the phone. I then though of removing some stock apps which are not used by me. I used titanium app to remove amazon, IM and IMprovider. I was not aware that removal of the last 2 IM related apps causes issues. The mistake I did was I did not even back up these before uninstalling. After removing these I started getting messages which said com.android.process.gapps stopped unexpectedly. This happened each time I tried accessing gmail or any other google app and also while accessing market. I google the problem an read that this can be resolved by going to settings - applications and clearing data from each google related app and then ensuring sync is disabled and then late reenabling the sync. After I tried this, I was able to access gmail but gtalk and contacts still could not be accessed withthe same error. I therefore thought of doing a factoryreset which might bring the original apps back. I did a factory reset and cache wipe from android stock reboot options but when I rebooted the first message I got upon reboot is "com.android.process.gapps stopped unexpectedly". I tried to sign in into my google account to use the phone but am pretty sure the the factory reset has not resolved my problem. I am currently unable to sign in to the phone using the intial google account set up wizard. Everytime I press finish in the wizard, I get "The application Setup Wizard (process com.android.setupwizard) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". Does this mean my phone has been rendered useles???
Can some expert help me resolve this issue? I am a noob and have committed mistakes and need some help fixing them. The phone current has donut android 1.6 on it.
Thanks in advance for your valuable help and time.

Update - Solved
I have resolved the problem. I flashed the phone with sappimg.nbh which took the phone back to the initial state (android 1.5) and this causes the rooting to be undone and also reinstalls the google apps. i dont see the failures due to gapps not found anymore and all is well.

Annoying android.process.acore error

I don't really post here much but this problem has me baffled beyond belief and I have yet to find a solution even after googling and trying their suggestions. Maybe I am not looking in the right places and someone could assist me.
The error I get is when I try to pull up my contacts, I immediately get the following message.
"android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. - Force close"
I have never had this problem (rooted or unrooted) until I flashed SuperClean 2.4. I flashed it and everything was OK for a few days. I couldn't fix it, so I reflashed SuperClean 2.4 he next day (which was this past Saturday) and the error happened today. As of right now, I am stock except for the EB01 Baseband.
Along with SuperClean, I did install LauncherPro, Facebook, Androzip and some games.
ANY help will be appreciated. Thank you!!!

Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications and find the Contacts program. Then clear data and try to open it again. Just be warned though that clearing the contacts data may remove any contacts stored on the phone (shouldn't touch your Gmail contacts).

Thanks for the reply.
I assume you mean "Contacts Storage"? I've tried that and it still gave me the message with Force Close.

Help network keep crashing

Hi,
The problem that I have is that everytime I turn on my S4 "Messages" crashes and afterwards "com.android.phone" keeps crashing.
It started when I was on Google Chrome Beta where I got a few crash notifications (I think it was 2, don't remember). I didn't think much about it then, but when I went to the Play Store to install Chrome, where it said it was already installed. Recently I have removed a lot of the bloatware including Chrome on the S4 and nothing happened by it and I have restarted my phone a few times after that. But in the Play Store when I clicked on the uninstall button it got stuck on uninstalling (most likely because it wasn't installed in the first place) and when I restarted my phone thinking it might solve the problem. The whole problem with "Messages" crashing and afterwards "com.android.phone" crashing again and again, started.
Now I have to keep Flight mode turned on or I can't even use my mobile.
I have tried following solutions:
- Wiped Cache & Dalvik Cache
- Factory Reset
- Reinstalled all the bloatware
- Reinserted SIM card
- Removed sdcard
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 (XXUAMDM) - Root - Stock rom
I hope someone can help me figure out how to fix this.
I found out what the problem was. I didn't reinstall all the bloatware. I only got the first 20 installed instead of them all. So now it works again.

[Q] update breaking functionality

So I've been running CM 12 for about a month and today I went to update and afterward my phone was unuseable. After the update I started getting the pop-up gmail has stopped so I uninstalled it. After that I couldn't use the play store. It kept asking me to sign in even though I was already signed in. I cleared cache and deleted data in play store and still the same problem. After This I tried reinstalling gapps to see if that was the problem. After reinstalling gapps my phone kept saying unfortunately phone has stopped working. After clicking ok it would come back up immediately, rendering the phone unusable. I couldn't even get to the desktop to try to get into settings. Before the update I backed up my rom so I was like, "Good for me, I saved the day." Nope. After installing my backup same problem. The only way for this problem to stop happening was to reinstall cm12 all together wiping system and data. I tried reinstalling my backup hoping it would work but I get the same problem.
What's going on here? How do I get my old rom back. I need my contacts back. I don't care about anything else as much. It would be nice to get everything but contacts is the main thing.

[Q] New Google photo's app crashes on startup

So far I've yet to get this new version to work with the fancy new backup and organization features that just came out. When I first installed it would just crash immediately when trying to boot. What I've now tried is Force Stopping and clearing cache and data. This gets me into the "intro" screen, but as soon as I hit 'get started' It just crashes. Any ideas what's going on? I just updated to 5.1.1, had issue on 5.1.0 a well. I am rooted.

:highfive:

Tried force stop and clearing data and cache for both the camera and photo's app. Then tried rebooting and opening camera (worked fine) then photo's (crashed as usual). Tried doing it again but opening photo's first, still crashed on the screen where it looks like you turn backup on or off. I think there is a backup issue. I had auto backup off for photo's previously by the way.

the same here
