Hi, as far as I know, AOSP 6.0 does not support Dual SIM. The problem is that, since this function is not coded by google, neither I have access to the source code of the system, nor there is any standard. So, untill Google implements Dual SIM, I can't support it.

You should try to run the application, it may change the number of SIM #1. If so, just swap the SIMs during the process. Else, you must do it on another (Single SIM) phone.

TelephonyManager works on default SIM. Btw I will investigate on this when I have more spare time. Thanks

• Nexus 5X
• Android 6.0.1, patch level March 2016 (build MHC19J)
• Unlocked bootloader
• TWRP Recovery
• xposed-v80-sdk23-arm64
• XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4

Is the module whitelisted in Xposed Installer? Can you post a logcat?

Yes, the module is whitelisted in xposed installer (checkbox enabled in xposed module list).

I found this with logcat:

Is this issue related to SuperSU?

It seems that you didn't grant the necessary permissions to the app in a previous installation. Try to go to Settings -> Apps -> SIMEditor -> Permissions and check all the list. If it won't work, post the entire logcat (or send me a private message). Thanks

Dual Sim Support would be nice. I tried it with an ZUK Z1. I switch off the second SIM. It shows the Number of the SIM that has to be changed correctly. I can enter an other number but it doesn't change it within the SIM card. Nothing seems to happen.

 

[superdusto]

What exactly does this do? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

It changes the phone number detected by the system

So I can clone a SIM?

If you are able to detect that the program runs on a dual sim phone a short warning maybe enough. For Zuk Z1 i can report: SIM in Slot 1 is working/changeing correctly. SIM in Slot 2 pretends to work, but doesn't change after restart. You have to swap the SIM to Slot 1 and after the number change you have to swap it back to Slot 2. - Anyway I couldn't get a working Mailbox by pressing "1" with this tool, too

Sorry for the delay.
No, you can't "clone" a SIM. You just change the phone number detected by the device (this process is standalone, because SIM memory is overwritten) but your "real" phone number (the phone number assigned by the carrier to the SIM) won't be changed.

hi, just tried for sim 1, it works great
wondering will the future version multi sim support? Thanks

 

[SOLheel]

This app worked to change my SIM card reporting an phone number that was set to the SIM before I purchased the SIM and had my number ported.
The provider tried to update it a few times over the network, and it worked. But if I switched the sim to a different phone or changed roms then the setting was lost.

Thank you so much :highfive::good:
