[Q] Share Contact by SMS on ICS - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
When you go to share a contact card via the contacts app or by clicking attach in the SMS app. It appears ICS is missing this function.
I have seen a couple of posts on this but none mention a native solution.
So my question is: Is there a native way to add SMS to the stock ICS 'share list' for sending contacts, or is this something to do with either contacts or SMS not exposing their 'intent' correctly?
Thanks in advance.

Tap and hold on the number, it will give you the option to copy it ;-)

Thanks NoXiScz,
I'm aware of how Copy and Paste works in ICS
I'm looking for a native solution.
I have found an app that puts sharing by SMS into the contacts, but it doesn't seem to work the same way as the native did on Gingerbread.

On ICS I used a phone dealer who have this function, for example rocket phone dealer.

Options are gone in contact icon dock.

Hi.
I hope you'll the problem I see in my phone. When you look at your contacts and click on the contacts name, this dock appereas and option you to send sms , email, call, skype call and so on.
If you install another email app and different sms app, it should show them as optional as well. I don't get that in my phone anymore. Please help me fix it.

[Q] MIUI can't find my contacts to send SMS - I can't remember how to do :\

Hi.
I remember there was a function to let MIUI stock SMS app find your contacts when you try to send an SMS but I can't remember how to enable it.
For example, if I have to send a message to John, I just should type "J" and the system recognizes the rest. Now I'm using Handcent SMS to do this correctly but I would like to use the MIUI app.
Can please someone remind me the steps?
I'm sure there's a solution, I've read it somewhere!!
Thanks in advance!
When I had this problem I just found that the contacts number wasn't set as their mobile number. If this is the case for you just go to that contact and edit it

Thank you both.
I tried both solutions but with no results. I'm sure there's a fix for that!
EDIT: I got it! Messaging -> Settings -> Advanced settings -> Filter numbers
I think it's the same if you pass from MMS section.
Thank you very much!

[Q] [REQ] Porting ICS Stock Contacts & Messaging to JB?

Is there a way we can port the Stock ICS Contacts, Phone and Messaging to CM10.1? or Jellybean 4.2.2?
There are many features of ICS Contacts and Messaging than the JB.
For example is the Creating of Group Contact that you can just mark a check to contacts, unlike JB's Contact, you need to type it one by one.
Messaging in ICS has an Address book to choose or mark contact whenever you want to a message to a lot of Contacts in just one go and it will also display in one message, unlike JB's Messaging, you have to write it one by one and if you send, it will create Sending Message.
Thanks in advanced..
PS: Please don't recommend me a third party apps, also I'm using the CM10.1 from MaclawStudio

short answer is that i doubt any one would want to port something from an old version onto a new version
that being said one could always add new feature to the latest version
have you had a chance to look into how to mod apps?

I tried but it seems it's out of my league to mod an apps, I don't have any background modding an application. But if someone can do that.. It would be much better..
I don't know why JB Stock Contact and Messaging remove that kind of features..
just gonna bump this thread..

[Q] How to send Contact as " SMS" instead of VCard

Dear
In HTC One Stock Messaging App there is no option to send contact number as SMS it has to send as " VCard" and many devices like Samsung not support this .. can we enable this option as Stock Application.

What android phone actually supports this? IMO, just download the app from the play store. It's going to be a lot faster than decompiling the messaging apk, adding the feature, and doing all that. Not to mention finding someone that knows how to do it.

Replace standard contacts / dialer?

Does anyone know if it's possible to replace the built in dialer and contact app with the standard Google app?
Also, does anyone know if it's possible to configure Gmail so that when you press a phone number it automatically opens it in the dialer?
Amongst other things these are two features I miss from my recently departed Nexus 5.
Thanks all.

Yes, you can replace contacts and dialler but you'l have some issues, some messages will appear when you are tring to call someone asking you to choose the apk (google one or built in one ), i recomand you to install just google messages
