Help Where did the dialer application go ?

[Ahmed Mestiri]

3 Days ago I rooted my phone and accidently I uninstalled the default Dialer from my android because I thought the other ones work without it. But after that I noticed that each time I can't know who is calling me.
So I've unrooted my phone then did a factory reset. After that, I've found the default ''Phone'' application in Settings -> Storage -> Apps But I didn't find it in ''Desktop'' or even in ''All apps''.
Can someone help me? My phone is really new and I need help.

Thanks in advance

You'll need to re-flash the original manufacturer's firmware. A factory reset won't restore anything you've deleted.

What phone have you actually got there?

Thanks,

I have a lenovo a319. My cousin has the same phone as mine, maybe he could transfer the dialer to my phone? then where can I find the original firmware of lenovo a319? I've searched everywhere. Can someone give me a link with some clear instructions ?

You might be able to, however the other phone would definitely have to be rooted to get at the required file, like yours was. You'd probably have to use Titanium Backup.

I know where you can find Chinese version firmware for it, but that's probably not what you want.

Problem is really Lenovo doesn't readily make their firmware available for end-users.

If you can get the the stock dialer app from someone who has your device,Maybe it can be side loaded with adb shell.
But I don't remember how to do it.

Is actually installing a custom ROM will get it back? Because the ROM that I have is a 4.4.4 android version. And in the same time I wan't to upgrade my phone from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4.

however the other phone would definitely have to be rooted to get at the required file, like yours was. You'd probably have to use Titanium Backup.

I can root his phone really easily and with one click, using Kingroot.
Then after rooting, what would I do?

I'll try to search on google how to do it.

The big problem with adb is getting the drivers for your computer. Luckily I use Linux and it wasn't a problem for me. Once you have adb and the adb drivers and if you have the dialer apk, then just connect your phone to your computer and do:

adb install dialer.apk

or whatever the dialer apk is called. If you don't have the apk and you deleted only one file, you can use "adb push" to push the file onto the system partition, but you must make the system partition read/write first.

Hey guys ! It's me I'm back !
I actually solved this problem, no Flashing needed or anything.
Just had the apk of ''Dialer'' out of my cousin's phone then I shared it using ''Sharecloud''
It was really easy !

Thanks to everyone for your support !
