My phone: Huawei P8Lite originally Single-Sim, but converted to dual-sim long time ago.
I just got the unpleasant surprise to not be able to fully use my SIM after upgrading to Nougat custom ROMs (tried AOSPA and LineageOS 14.1). None allowed to directly view or save new contacts on SIM, although I could import already existing contacts from SIM.
Is there any better Dialer/Contacts app around that can replace the rather crippled default app?
EDIT
Issue seems to be deeper and nastier than thought... it seems that "some people" - those which decide how Android should be, decided that we don't need anymore to save contacts locally, but rather Google should know about each and every one of us... which I start to dislike more and more:

Even if this is a "feature" introduced in latest Android versions, is still confusing how some ROMs allow saving on Phone (others don't unless google account is removed), but none allow to save on sim.
