Hello, I recently starting degoogling a motorola razr 50 and I overdid it.

My approach was to use ‘adb’ and uninstall packages. I started with the obvious ones, and then I started going a bit too far. I realise now I should have taken a backup of the apk to restore it after. Well, too late now.

I removed com.android.dialer and com.android.phone. I thought i would not need them since i installed some Fossify app alternatives. My guess is that they are more libraries than apps, and still needed by the Fossify apps (messages and phone). I’m not able now to send/receive calls/sms, and I’m wondering if I could download the apk from somewhere and restore it.

I tried to get some from the interwebs, but I get the following exception when trying to reinstall them: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE: Existing package com.android.dialer signatures do not match newer version; ignoring!]

The last resort would be to do a factory reset, but I would prefer to avoid it.

Anyone knows how I could fix it?

Thanks

      More than pride, I feel great someone took the time to tell me I’m wrong. We’re all growing until the day we die, and we all need others to call us out when needed for us to rethink our ways and then try to make changes for the better.
