[Q] Kitkat - How to: press phone # "link" to make it go to text instead of dialpad?
when there is an underlined phone number link that you can press (eg. on my calendar or someone texted me with another number), i want to be able to press it and have it go to my SMS app. however, i am only shown to have the choice to go to the phone app.
i believe when i had ICS/JB, it allowed me to go to the text app.
this is on LG G2, with a 4.4.2 kitkat rom (Carbon rom). i am rooted so i can use any xposed modules that may offer this feature, if anyone knows, that would be great. thanks!

Checked the entire Comm Rom thread in the dev section, and did multiple searches in dev and Q&A section. Since going from stock froyo to comm rom 1.2 I noticed that I can no longer select from a list to add contacts to an sms message. Doesn't seem to matter what keyboard I use, I have to enter the contacts into the to field manually. Is there something I'm missing? Or was this functionality removed in this ROM? Thanks in advance.

I think you need to give a little more information. I just tested this with v1.3 and it works for me but I am not sure if you are using the same method.
1.unlock phone
2.swipe to message app
3.select app
4.select new message
5.type the first character(s) of the name I want
6.select from the drop down list that appears
Repeat steps 5 and 6 for multiple contacts.
Thanks for the reply gkirby11. What I was actually describing was the samsung sms app whiich is available as an add-on for the comm rom (I just installed as a guess). With the stock samsung sms app instead of adding contacts by swyping the first few letters you can click contacts which appears under the to field. Then you can check boxes next to all the contacts you want and click add to put'em in. The add-on is message_patch.zip and after u install it via recovery...it's pretty nice to have back.
Thanks! I was thinking the same thing.
Installed patch. I send text messages to multiple people ask the time. This was a must.
Happy new year to all in XDA! whell now, the question: i use a rom based on V20A (brazil) and when i enter in "About the phone -> Status" i can see my phone number and operator! it only say "Desconocido"(Unknow) in spanish.
I test some rom based in other version and have the same bug, how i can fix this? or how i can add the info of my operator in venezuel "Digitel"?
why i need that? because i can put my photo to the sms system and other thing related to my profile, like sync with facebook, twitter, etc...
thanks in advanced!

Okey, that because
1. Your cellular provider dont give your phone number on your SIM (hardware)
2. Android dont have 3rd application that have access to change your phone number (as i know, CMIIW).
What can you do for having your phone number on your status?
1. Use another phone like sonyericson or nokia that can give access to give "my number" on SIM card (i dont have specific knowledge about the series of phone)
2. Move your sim from android to another phone.
3. Give your phone number on setting.
4. Move back your sim to android, and check what you have done...
Edit:
This someone that success used another phone to change "my phone number"

Hi,
I'm facing one problem. I can't add a shortcut to a Phone app (it's the app where you enter dial numbers, call someone). Need it on my home screen, but there wasn't it when flashed the rom, in drawer too. And no options which can add it. I'm using CM 10.
The phone shortcut should already be a part of your rom. If you flashed a rom without the phone part. Flash a new rom ASAP!
i just installed the rom ★ [Rom][I605VRAMC3][4.1.2] Stock Root Odex/Deodex [05/02/13]★ on my note 2 verizon phone, and i cannot turn off the keytones, i mean its set to off, but still clicks when i type making that obsesant noise, how can i fix that, is there a way to do it, or modify the features.xml or any way to shut off the beeping when i type?
i installed the deodexed version
Goto settings language and input click the settings icon for samsung keyboard then goto the keystones/feedback and uncheck it.
See if this does the trick
Hey,
I was trying to add a new contact by dialing it's number and tapping on 'create new' (In default Dialer/Phone App), and I get the following Toast message. (Attached image)
I am able to create a new contact through the default Contacts App.
Running stock firmware ( Android 11 , XXU1CTL5)
Thanks in advance, LSGio
