Hi guys,
I recently received the S8 duos (SM-G950FD) and to the dismay of my OCD, I have these annoying icons which cannot be removed.
I installed a different messenger application which solved half the problem, but I still get the icon in the call logs etc.
Seeing as I use a micro SD, and just the 1 sim-card, I find this highly frustrating.
Is it possible to remove the icons by installing the standard S8 firmware? If so, can someone direct me to the correct files.
Thanks

I think the duo and regular s8 use the same firmware, it automatically detects if you have 2 imei's and add's those little icons if you do.
No way but...
This is a system config to separate and identify the SIM calls from 1 to 2.
I guess there is a system configuration that may allow you to disable one of the IMEI of the phone so it works as a single SIM, but even if there is, it's propably a root-only ability
P.S.: Try looking into the Developer Options...

I just got new HTC Iolite device (English ROM version). It work nice, but built in Sim Manager v. 6.57 doesn't allow me put more than 14 symbols in SIM contacts name... I believe I can increase this number by editing registry.
May be someone know how it can be done and can help me?
Here screenshot of Sim Manager settings for reference:

Best regards,

It´s normal, the filesystem of the SIM-card limits the entrys.
Greetings!
mirko.prinz,
Thank you for replay! I don’t think that is normal because most of my SIM contacts have cut last names and on my old Nokia phone everything was shown properly... I read on some forum that Sims Manager has this limitation because of code page version used by WM 6.1... So I asked if some body know how fix this issue.

When you save the contacts in phone memory, then no restrictions. When you save contacts in SIM, then restricted and no contact-pics and adressfields avaiable. (by all phones).
Greetings Mirko
Hello everyone, I bring you this topic knowing that our G2s have some sort of crippled multi-user functionality.
But I was used to use the full multi-user support on my Galaxy Note since 4.2.2 (or any other Android with 4.2.2) which differs from LGs by a mile.
LGs implementation is limited to show only the apps you allow without means of changing wallpaper, pulling down the notification shade, etc. Android 4.2.2 can handle more than what LG gave us, like having a totally new and independent full session, including Sync accounts and apps which I found very convenient.
However when I tried the procedure described here it errors out for some reason with a "couldn't create user" error.
But when you get into the System Settings you get to see the new option "Users and Restrictions"

If you go there you'll see:
If you click Add User:
If you click OK:
Obviously that's because of the error I got inside Terminal. I also disabled LG's Guest Mode in case it had something to do with it but it was a no go.
I'll try some other methods and keep you posted. Any ideas are welcome.
Cheers!
this is neat, @Rayan are you already has the fix?
Nope, unfortunately I have not found a solution yet.
I have tried all methods available but no solution yet.

It looks like you tried to flash a phone.apk or a dialer app that isn't stock. You didn't say what phone version you have (your signature mentions GT-I9505?) This forum is for the I337 variants. My suggestion would be to try and find the same version of firmware / ROM that you are currently using and see if you can get the correct phone.apk or dialer apk out of it and try to restore that way. Depending on you phone model and firmware, you might be able to restore with a nandroid (if you have one). If your bootloader is locked you might need to restore via ODIN and the proper firmware. Most thing you do will run the risk of wiping your data and contacts so back everything up first before you try anything to be on the safe side. If you don't understand the things I mentioned or if you don't know where to find something I suggest you use the forum's search function to find the information and tools you need. Good luck.

see two symbols of battery, you were trying or tried to do for that to happen, and if you can tell the model of your phone, greetings
okay guys, this is just a modified floating_feature.xml
first, let me tell you guys something why i did this.
when im still on nougat, i didn't face any thing like 'biometric' setting, inside the root of phone setting, but after oreo, i see some weird option called 'biometric and fingerprint setting' , i thought it was located under the security section. but it's not.
i dont know, are u guys facing the same issue or not.
actually, using hidden csc features from @kubura2999 surely will hide the biometric setting back to the security section, but realize when using @kubura2999 floating_feature.xml make my phone slow when open the camera app. especially when open the camera while using 3rd apps like instagram, there are 2-3 sec delay before the camera opened.
so i decide to make one for them who suffered the same problem with me.
check this out :

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
REASON WHY :
why i make this? because the biometrics and security setting icon is not customized on many samsung themes or even substratum.
i mean this icon :
is rarely getting customized by any theme developer.
tried many substratum themes which works with samsung stock oreo, but this icon never 'touched'!
this file works with A7 , A5, A3 (2017 VARIANT)
what you got :
1. moved biomeotrics and fingerprint section under security section inside phone setting
2. just that.
if u want to use this feature along side with floating_feature.xml from @kubura2999 , u can message me.
Hey, I'm new to the forums. Decided to get the Nothing Phone 1. Seems ok atm but was a bit glitchy when first set up.
Just wanted to see if anyone could have a quick look through the app list to see if all looks ok.
Also I have some permissions which I'm unsure about for example on the shell app:
Reroute outgoing calls
android.permission.ACCEPT_HANDOVER
see and control calls through the system. (I noted this one because of the period at the end)
android.permission.REQUEST_OBSERVE_COMPANION_DEVICE_PRESENCE
android.permission.REQUEST_COMPANION_PROFILE_WATCH
download files without notification
android.permission.READ_NEARBY_STREAMING_POLICY
Edit: for some reason I can't attach the screenshots

What's your point man ? Nobody can't edit all yours apks .
What I've seen , you disabled randomly lot of important system apk so I think you may reset your phone , take a breath , learn some stuff on Google and after that you can setup again your phone , paid more attention on system apks .
No, I meant edit the image size, it's ok I'll work it out.
I've disabled the things I don't need for now. These permissions were there before I changed any settings. I did reset the phone after purchasing.
The most concerning me are reroute outgoing calls & download files without notification.
I haven't changed any settings in relation to this.
The reroute call permission also found in phone services
