Dual Sim choice on texting - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good evening. I can't find any rom with decent RAM management that allows me to choose between sim cards and make one the default to a certain contact, like shown below. Also, I've already been on CM 12.1 and had to go stock, second SIM was required.
Note that the option "Remember ote that the option "Remember SIM for number" is important...
(see pic attached)
Thanks in advance

Annoying FRF 91 problems

Hey guys i recently updated to FRF91 manually ( stock google update ) and i am facing a couple of annoying glitches.... the purpose of this thread is to have a centralized list of all the problems and workarounds hopefully:
Flash: Well before FRF91 i had FRF50B in which i had an option ( in the browser settings ) to turn flash off or on demand.... Now its missing in FRF91
Messaging: firstly in conversation threads my picture is not shown and i cant figure out a way to get it to show my picture ... by the way it was ok on 2.1
Market: Market is very very very slow even on wifi .... Plus whenever i uninstall or install an application it gets stuck on the progress bar ( when u go to an app's description page and click on install it shows the progress bar which shows the download progress and once downloaded it shows install progress and thats where it gets stuck, even after the application has been installed.
Browser: Browser also seems a bit patchy.
Any one of you all facing any of these problems ?????
Flash (or actually, browser settings): are just in the same place.
Messaging: I think it was mentioned on the forum, together with solution - but don't remember the thread.
Market: it was mentioned 10000 times on the forum, together with solutions. The easiest of them is to clear all Market data and cache in App management. It flies.
Browser is great and fast as hell. The only thing it's missing is the need to enter "about:debug" to get to UAString setting. I'm waiting for someone to recompile it, leaving the debug settings always on.
Thanks Jack. I really apologize for my ignorance.

Open browser, then:
Menu/More/Settings/Enable Plug-ins
Select Always on/On demand/Off
The issue with your picture not being displayed in messaging is down to your phone number being programmed on the sim card.
Go to Settings > About Phone > Status. If "My Phone Number" shows as unknown then the phone is unable to recognise your number against your Facebook profile hence why nothing shows.
My understanding is that the phone reads this info direct from the SIM card so perhaps a SIM update from your network provider will solve this. Alternativly inset your SIM card into a "dumb" phone and it should let you change the number programmed on the SIM card. Android cannot do this for some reason (although ive heard the iPhone can!)

Ok i have discovered another issue. The delivery reports dont seem to work. But that was a problem on FRF85B as well.... When you long press a text message and check delivery report it keeps saying "pending " even though the other person has already recieved it ... any work arounds ????
Also my market issue is still there
"I have a funny issue with my exchange. When i get a new mail, i get a notification on my N1. But even after i have read that email on my PC.The notification doesnt go away .... and when i check my phone after some time i think i have recieved a new email but its only notification of old one .... is there a workaround for that guys ?"
I have this same issue that you have, but on a HTC Desire with custom Froyo ROMs. I don't remember it being a problem with the stock ROM, but on a Desire this stock ROM includes HTC Sense which I think does its own Exchange stuff, rather than use the Android Exchange apps.

How to edit phone/sim/radio settings (found by ##PROGRAM) using build.prop

Hi, as the title of the thread says I am trying to figure out how to edit certain settings via build.prop, rather than ##PROGRAM.
This is because of two things: I flashed my bionic to page plus, using the stock rom, then I installed Carbon ROM in slot1. To make 3G operate correctly, you have to change certain settings using ##PROGRAM. The stock rom works great after using the program menu. Unfortunately, the Carbon Rom, although fantastic, does not have this menu.
One of the settings is to change Sim type to 3G. The other is to set lte bppanic to disable. Then disable class 1 and class 2 apns.
If anyone knows how to do this, I would be thrilled, as would other Page Plus users, I imagine. Thanks.

This may be off by a long shot, but relating to radios..

Hi, I think that is the right direction. However, so far I cannot find out how to change sim type to 3g or set lte bppanic to disable using a database.
There are similar "name" inputs there, like network mode, etc, but nothing indicating those exact settings. I wonder if I find the settings under the stock rom, can i import them into carbon? Or are they motorola-rom-specific?
I think that these are actually important questions for flashed users, and we will see this becoming more and more of an issue as 3G phones become obsolete, and the only way for a Page Plus or other Verizon MVNO user to have a workable smartphone is to flash a 4G one,
On the Bionic (and I imagine on other models), the only option for now will be the stock rom; any rom without access to the ##PROGRAM menu will be left short as far as advanced network settings goes. Of course, I think this might vary depending on how you flashed in the first place. I used a free tutorial that was quite simple.

I honestly couldn't input much on this, as I've never had to dabble with this area ( well just once, quite a long time ago), but I'd imagine you could check out the data bases ( maybe take a "snapshot" or copy/download it) from a stock rom, make your changes using that ##program menu, then compare the new/changed database to the prior one.
That would be a quick way to detect if any values are being affected there, and where. Then you may as well check if those values exist on other roms, and try them out. Couldn't hurt, with safestrap/recovery backups and all.

I believe that you should check out the setup for page plus on howard forums. It goes thru the changes to make the bionic 3g and turn off 4g completely. But the links to the apps and basic principles should still apply. Good luck, if you can't find it let me know. I'll send you a link.

[Q] Proper DualSim Management

Hello,
I recently started playing around with Custom roms on my XT1068 and was kinda disappointed by the Multisim Management in CM12 based ROMs compared to stock.
The Stock solution is nothing too fancy it just allowed to assign a color and a Name to each sim and to remember the SIM choice per Number for SMS and voice calls:
I only found one third party solution - Dual Sim Selector (net.pixelrush.dualsimselectortrial in Play Store) which emulates this behaviour.
Is there any way that the stock SIM management solution can be integrated in CM12(.1)?
Are there other solutions/ROMs out there which offer equal functionality?
thanks,
f.luke
12.1 have that and more. what ROM you tested?

Magisk Module to change SIM number?

Is there a module or is one possible that can change the number stored on the SIM? I started a new monthly plan and transferred my old number over, but the new SIM card carries the wrong (new) number. I was able to change it before using an Xposed mod to do it (can't remember name now) but this isn't usable yet on Nougat afaik.

That doesn't actually change your number, you'll need to contact your service provider to make sure your number ported over correctly.

It has ported over correctly, just the new SIM card is hardcoded with the new number that About Phone > Status > SIM status reads from. Trying a new app that first requires registration usually pulls that number and autofills it in your signup window doesn't it? Hence the reason wanting to change it.
Yeah... No Magisk modules for that. I'd request a new SIM from your provider, with the correct number.
Ah ok, thanks. Will just wait it out for Xposed to come
its possible if mod located on file or folder but if inside the code of framework or apps then not possible.

Insert SIM to iPhone and change sim number. Or "old gen. mobile phone" like Nokia 3310 (not smartphone).
You can also get a smartcard reader for your pc and write it to SIM.
xposed sim editor 1.3.0 will do what you need. Note that if you use dual sim just insert the sim to edit to sim1 and leave sim2 empty, change and restart and change again and restart again.
This works:

Note 8 Dual Sim Personal Profile question

Hi all.
I have a bit of an odd query.
On my Note 8, in Contacts, my profile at the top of the page...the default phone number keeps going to SIM 2's number.
I change it to default to SIM 1's number all the time and within a few minutes goes back to SIM 2.
I edit the profile and even delete the number, but sure enough, within a few minutes, SIM 2 number is back as the default profile number.
Why would this be please?
Anyone, please?
Also...can the profile be viewed by anyone else...or is it strictly an on-phone thing?
Mine is not real dual sim, but I have already changed to dual sim.
The number is not linked to sim 1 or 2, just a number in the profile,
Mine is working well, didn't change back automatically, but I didn't share the profile.

If you are sharing the profile,
When I call your number (whatever I got from website or somewhere) and I don'k know your name, Samsung will show your name automatically which you are sharing.
I tested this with my friend, but not 100% sure.
Hi.
Thank you for your response.
So the SIM 2 number will actually show up on my profile (which I am not sharing)?
