Reinstall default apps w/o factory reset

[theonlybuster]

Just curious if there's a way to re-install the factory default apps without doing a factory reset and losing info/data.

No issues or problems. A "smart" friend was trying to 'show me something' and uninstalled a handful of apps, some of which were the stock apps that I simply prefer to use over other apps.

Ok. Which apps are you referring to? Are you rooted?

Still running stock at the moment... The Clock/Weather app, Messenger (honestly not a big deal), Wifi-Calling, ugh there's another but I can't think at the moment. But the main was the Wifi-Calling, the others I can manage without.

I've done it with a few apps like the stock message when it seemed the app was flakey

I went to APPLICATIONS MANAGER, found the app, cleared cache and data. It came back with no issues and is now working fine. No reset needed.

Many of the pre-installed apps can't be totally uninstalled but can only be disabled (turned off). Go into settings, application manager, swipe all the way over to the "turned off" tab and look for the apps there. If you find them, just select them and turn them back on.
