Android apps no longer work

Oh boy, I fcked up: I deleted Google Play Services (GPS), because whenever I tried to update it, the update failed with the message that a "conflicting package existed", so I thought I could just delete GPS, but I should never have done that! After the deletion all Android apps stopped working and reinstalling GPS has not solved the issue: I can start an Android app, but after a few seconds it gets minimized and so I can't use it. Reinstalling the apps does not help either, rebooting does not help, clearing cache and data does not help. I should appreciate it greatly if anybody here might have any suggestions on how to get me out of my predicament!

Android apps no longer work

Oh boy, I fcked up: I deleted Google Play Services (GPS), (G.P.S.), because whenever I tried to update it, the update failed with the message that a "conflicting package existed", so I thought I could just delete GPS, G.P.S., but I should never have done that! After the deletion all Android apps stopped working and reinstalling GPS G.P.S. has not solved the issue: I can start an Android app, but after a few seconds it gets minimized and so I can't use it. Reinstalling the apps does not help either, rebooting does not help, clearing cache and data does not help. I should appreciate it greatly if anybody here might have any suggestions on how to get me out of my predicament!
