Small Apps after 4.2.2

[swaminathan]

If  you are missing small apps like voice recorder , calculator after 4.2.2 update 

Do a factory reset to get them back..

I got 5 small apps back(calculator,browser,note,recorder,timer) after factory reset, which were gone after the firmware update

Note:

Before doing A Factory reset , it is necessary to back up all your apps and data using Backup & Restore to prevent data loss..
