All offline contacts gone after phone update

Worth a try …

Contacts gone after registration for play store and fair phone update

MyPhoneExplorer (Windows only) is able to display all contacts it can find on your phone, be they locally stored or synced with Google. You could have a look whether it shows the “vanished” contacts. MyPhoneExplorer distinguishes between the different storage places, so when everything else is sorted out, you could easily copy synced contacts back to the local phone storage and delete them at Google’s place then.

Used this ooportunity to also replace the dialer by matching Simple Dialer - looks nice.

Does it work?

Google Apps keep reinstalling/ reactivating

In newer Android versions, The Dialer app needs to provide In Call UI as well as the UI to accept a call on the lock screen. The Emerald Dialer doesn’t do that yet, although that’s apparently to-be-added feature. ( See Is there any alternative to the default Dialer app - that works on FP3? ) One option seems to be the dialer app from lineage OS which is linked in that thread.
