[Q] Messages contact picture bug

---

Just came over from the MT4G today, and got right to debloating this bad boy. I went into recovery to wipe my cache and fix permissions (to ensure things worked smoothly) but I had been on CM7 for so long that I had forgotten that Sense has a bug where you lose your contact pictures in the Messages app when you fix the permissions. I tried this script that would fix the problem in Sense 3.0 and 3.5, but had no luck:

chmod 666 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/*

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

The location looks fine, yet the privileges for me on those files are rwxrw-r-- .

I am not sure if that resembles a chmod 666. Also, the folder .../files itself is rwxrwx--x for me.

Maybe doublecheck with that, I am not near a proper linux system right now, so I cannot verify if the chmod numericals you used reflect the privs the dir listing gives me.

I have no idea what that means. This was just a command I got from TDJ back then to enter into Terminal Emulator to fix the problem. I tried it here but it didn't work.

Here's what I get when I try entering it:

666 is RW for Owner, Group and World (rw-rw-rw-).
764 is RWX for O, RW for G and R for W (rwxrw-r--).
771 is rwxrwx--x
