Hi guys
I'm using 2 sims (one personal and one for work)
For me it's crucial to know from which sim am I getting call right now (for new numbers that are not in my contact list)
Thу problem is that in MIUI ROM you can't assign color to a sim card, so the only way to know which sim card is receiving call is a small icon with sim number. Even in a normal state it's to hard to see the number. It gets ten times harder while driving, for example. In AOSP there is an option to assign a color to a sim card so when i am getting a call from specific sim the call screen is colored by the sim color.
The question is, how can I change the dialer of MIUI to a standard AOSP dialer?
I also have tried another ROMs, like resurrect - this is very good but I lack the "dual apps" from MIUI. I tried different "dual apps" solutions from the play market but they all are just bad and can't be compared to MIUI dual apps (for example in whatsapp - where i need to whatsapp account to run simultaneously)
This is pretty interesting. If it's possible to change the default dialer/contacts, how would one go about it? Also, what dialer app would you folks recommend?
Hi, I think the easiest solution for you is just need to setup different ringtone for each SIM

For me it's not a solution, as most of the time my phone is on vibration (to not disturb my wife or other people on the meetings)

oh I see, so you can try to use pixel phone dialer on GG Play.

Nope, it doesn't help - on incoming calls it's the same.
First of all change ur dual SIM name, Suppose A & B, now u can easily check which sim is receiving call from another no. Incoming call, miss call, everthing

Hello there!
I'm just thinking about buying a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (i9192), but I have some doubts about how it uses its SIM cards, and I haven't found the answers even on the owner's manual available on Samsung's website.
For example, let's say that I have both SIM cards active, SIM1 is the default SIM, and I receive a call on SIM2. If I review the call log and search for that SIM2 call, what happens if I call back to that number?
a) Will the phone use SIM2 to place the call because it was received trough that SIM?
b) Will it make the call through SIM1 since it's the default SIM?
Another question is about associating contacts to a particular SIM. Can I specify a preferred SIM for a contact? If so, how does it work? I've seen some screenshots of the contact list from other Samsung Duos series, and they show a little 1 or 2 next to each contact, but I'm not sure what does it mean, or it that feature is available on i9192. Can somebody please clarify this?
Last question is about SMS. If I receive a message to SIM1 (for example), will I always reply from SIM1 too? Or will it let me choose between both SIMs?
Thank you very much for your help.

Hello SilviuMik,
First of all, thank you very much for your quick response.
In the screenshots it looks like you can always choose to call from any SIM, but I’m wondering if there’s a way to call back from the same SIM that received the call (obviously if it's active). Could you please tell me if this is possible?
In one of the screenshots contact "A" shows a pop-up window asking you to select a SIM, but I don’t really know if this means that contacts can be associated to a preferred SIM, or if this window appears after pressing the call button with preferred SIM card for voice calls configured as "Always ask". Would you please clarify this too?
In your screenshots it seems that the each SMS can be sent with any SIM. Isn't that a problem? For cumbersome people like me, you could easily send SMS from the wrong SIM. As you've been using the phone for some time, what do you think about this? Is this feature comfortable/powerful of is it a mess?
Thank you for your patience.
Best regards.

Not without a third party app, or like i said in the next question, if u have 1 SIM always assigned as calls then from that sim
"In one of the screenshots contact "A" shows a pop-up window asking you to select a SIM, but I don’t really know if this means that contacts can be associated to a preferred SIM, or if this window appears after pressing the call button with preferred SIM card for voice calls configured as "Always ask".

Instead of Always Ask u can configure SIM 1 or SIM 2 in that menu . Maybe u have one sim for calls only and one for data only If u select SIM1 for example that pop-up won`t appear anymore
"In your screenshots it seems that the each SMS can be sent with any SIM. Isn't that a problem? For cumbersome people like me, you could easily send SMS from the wrong SIM.

Depends on your fingers i never sent sms from wrong number
Thank you for your patience.
Best regards.

Your explanations were really helpful.
In my opinion, these Samsung dual devices are not mature enough yet, but they will be hopefully better in the future.
Thank you very much!
I can't seem to send messages on SIM2 or choose how my call gets through, there is no sim icon in either messaging or in the call settings. I have H818N.
I can assign contacts permanently to either SIM - which gets used for calling but not for SMS.
Also any way to assign SMS also to particular sim for particular contacts?
EDIT: I can change global setting on which sim to use through the notification icons, but any way to do it on a per call/sms basis?
PS1: I have updated the firmware to the latest version
PS2: Any dual sim good SMS app?
Same problem here on h818n.
Did you find out yet?
As you said, you can assign the default sim for calls and sms from the quicksettings in the status bar dropdown. Couldn't find a way to make the dialer just ask wich sim to use each time tho.
As sms app i like the Google Messenger app.
As dialer i'm trying TrueDialer.
On both u can tap the sim icon and pick a sim b4 calling\sending the sms.
Has this issue been solved through software updates by LG, Or do we have to resort to using third party apps?
Nopes not yet. I still can't put a default sim for SMS. Also if I have set a default sim for a contact, I can only use that sim, which is a major inconvenience. There should be an easy way to call from the other sim.
Also would suggest using the default sms app - dual sim support of other apps is sketchy at best.
Dual SIM phones are becoming more available in the developed world, and I think there is a great use case for them here that seems rather untapped: the consolidation of work and personal phones.
At the moment, the way that dual-SIM communications is handled is tailored to combining communications from both SIMs into one place; I want to keep them separate.
For calls: the app "Dual Sim Selector" is essentially exactly what I want for calls, however it's interaction with LineageOS seems to be slightly disjointed (if anyone knows how to suppress the OS's sim selector prompt whilst not overriding the above app's selection, this app would be perfect). The critically valuable part of this app is that I can, carte blanche, automatically assign contacts from any given account (google acct, exchange acct) to use a particular SIM; all other numbers it prompts.
For SMS, however, I've yet to find a viable solution: I want separate inboxes for each SIM. Tabs within an app, separate SMS apps, I don't care; I just don't want to accidentally send one of my clients a sexy text message by accident.
So my two questions:
How can I get the Dual Sim Selector to work nicely with the dialer? and
How can I keep my SMS inboxes separate?
Dual Sim Selector's behaviour on LineageOS on my ZTE Axon 7:
With OS's SIM settings to "Ask every time": Dual Sim Selector app works as expected, however OS prompt still present. Dismissing OS prompt by tapping outside terminates call; selecting any option changes theme and information on dialer but does not affect the SIM choice, the app's SIM choice is used.
With OS's SIM settings to default to one SIM: App's choice is disregarded.
I've contacted the developer, they've pointed the finger at abnormal implementation of LineageOS's sim selection dialogue.

I have a similar issue with my Honor 5X and Lineage OS 14.1.
If I set, in options, to "always ask" which SIM to use when calling, I cannot make calls from my car using bletooth, because the phone wants to know which SIM to use.
The best solution, in my opinion, would be to have two buttons on the dialer, one to call using SIM 1 and one for SIM 2 (just like it is in the standard EMUI dialer).
That way, I could set, in options, to "Use SIM 1 for calls", be able to easily choose which SIM to use for calling and be able to make calls in car using bluetooth with the default SIM.
Hello everybody !
When receiving a call, when you have two sim cards, it is almost impossible to know which one is ringing. There is just a tiny icon with the number of the sim, but so small that it is unreadable.
Can we change that and make sure that when we receive a call, the name of the SIM card appears roughly?
I never know which line my calls come on .. It's painful.

Maybe there is a way with tasker.
With the google dialer I let tasker increase the font size, so that I could read the SIM properly, but that way brought other problems with it, so it was useless.

I am using an app called True phone ( not true caller) and it has this feature in the setting. The app itself is perfect and full of features.
Hello, can someone help me with this one...i had until now a rn5 pro with 2 sim cards inserted (private and business number). When incoming call arrives it says number and sim2logo on display and i know that call is coming on my business number inserted in sim2 tray. On note 8pro when someone calls me i can see just a number displayed, not sim1/sim2 information. Even my old note 3 pro had that info displayed (and5pro as stated above) but this one doesnt have it? It was important to me because if i see someone calls on my business number i can choose to not accept call if i dont want to, but now i cant see which sim card is receiving call. Anyone knows anything about it? Thanks
Hey. How about installing the Google Phone APK... That displays the SIM as far as i can remember...
It is no problem to install something....but every dual sim including xiaomi until now has that option so i was wondering did they forget it?

Yeah well who knows what's going through XIAOMI's mind these days.... The entire OS is a bunch of bad decisions in my opinion. I'm not at all surprised about what you said to be honest. Your best bet is to install a third party dialer. Try it and see.
