Please remove all

<category andorid:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

in packages/apps/Contacts/AndroidManifest.xml, I think it will work fine.


Or try to remove Contacts.apk (but this may not work because you may get crash again.)

If you want to remove the phone app completely from your phone, then it's as easy as deleting /system/app/Phone.apk. If you want to compile a framework that does not show the phone app in the launcher, then you will need to modify the launcher, not the phone app.
