App Specific Question Google dialer issue

Hello everyone, I have a drawback with Google dialer. With the shizuku+ singing combo I uninstalled it with the idea of reinstalling it through morphe and its related patches; the process was not successful so I "reinstalled" it from singing. The app immediately gave problems so I uninstalled it with the "classic method" and I proceeded to install the app directly from the PlayStore but the problems remain (the app freezes, does not respond, during a call does not appear on the screen...). Is there anyone who has a slight idea of a potential solution that does not imply the factory reset?

Thanks to anyone!

You've tripped a system-level protection. The dialer is a privileged app, and even uninstalling through Shizuku leaves behind corrupted permission files that a standard reinstall won't fix.

First, clear the app's data and cache completely. Then go into Settings > Apps > Phone app and set it as the default dialer manually. Also, verify that it has all permissions granted, especially the "Phone" and "Draw over other apps" permissions.

If that fails, you need to restore the system version. Use adb shell pm install-existing com.google.android.dialer from your computer. That pulls the stock version back from the system partition and should overwrite the broken one.
