They did not.
The Umayyads had no accepted religious authority, therefore they could not change Islamic Law or strongly influence it. However, under the Umayyad, the role of the Alim (or scholar) came to the fore as the primary source from which Qur'an could learned.

What were people who accepted the Umayyad rulers were known as?
Non-Revolters, I guess. There is no particular term for those who accepted the imperial right of the Umayyads. The overwhelming majority of Sunni Muslims did, however, while the overwhelming majority of Shiite Muslims did not. The Sunnis who did not necessarily concede the Umayyads the right to rule were the Mawali or non-Arab Muslims who suffered under Umayyad pro-Arab discrimination.
How did the Muslims feel about the Abbasids taking power in 750?
Knowing how people "feel" is difficult to gauge across history. We know that the Mawali (Non-Arab Muslims) approved of the Abbassids because they (unlike the Umayyads) granted equal privileges to Arab Muslims and Mawali. The Shiites quickly became disenchanted with the Abbassids since the Abbassids did not intend to install a Shiite leader at the head of the Caliphate and began to organize in opposition to Abbassid Rule. The remainder of the Muslim community seems relatively unfazed by the change from Umayyads to Abbassids.

What Muslim group accepts only the descendants of the Umayyads as rightful rulers of Muslims?
There is no such group. The Umayyads were supported by the Sunnis because they had temporal power, but the Sunnis never had a requirement that the ruler need be a descendant of the Umayyads; their precondition for having the right to rule was having the power to effectively govern.Perhaps this question confuses the Shiite requirement that a rightful ruler be a descendant of Ali ibn AbuTalib. Ali and the Umayyads were enemies and are in-no-way related.
