Help restoring firmware

In deleting excess programs, I mistakenly deleted messaging from my apps list. (thought it was a stand alone version)
Now I can receive but not send text messages.
And get frequent pops ups saying "xxxx running, but can't complete" or something to that effect. I have to choose "cancel" to make it go away. Does that even not trying to text.
I can't find anything on the Samsung site about restoring the firmware(?) to the original condition.
???????
 
I got an email saying you posted but it isn't showing here. I was assuming your phone was rooted as, in my understanding, you'd need root user access to delete the messaging app. You can find out which ROM (if you are indeed rooted) you're on by going to:
Settings>About Phone and scrolling to the bottom.

You can find the ROMs listed in the link above. Before you jump/switch to a different ROM make sure you aren't using Jocoala's custom kernel and if you are make sure you jump/switch/install a ROM that supports it.

Rom = Android version, baseband version, kernel version or build number?

Build number its the last one listed

Uh maybe depends on the area you're in. Don't worry this is easy to figure out and once you figure it out everything when it comes to Modding your phone will come easier. Trust me when I say that, two months ago I was in your shoes trying to fix my phone and running around XDA and AndroidForums trying to correct my missteps.
