Umm, title says it all - can someone tell me where the settings are for setting different ring tones for each SIM when you have dual SIMs? I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find anything in settings for setting these? I assume I must have missed something obvious, because you wouldn’t have a dual sim capable OS that only supports a single ringtone, right?
I’m checking on this, but I don’t think this is available by default in LineageOS (maybe there are 3rd party solutions?)

Thanks @rik - if it doesn’t I’ll be rather gobsmacked TBH…
I’m pretty sure this is not an IodéOS ‘problem’ and that it comes from LineageOS.
Running LineageOS for microG on a phone that supports two SIMs, There is only a single option for ‘Ringtone’ in Settings | Sounds. AFAIK it is possible set different ringtones for different contacts but not for different SIMs
Then mycenius remains gobsmacked..
I think it would be useful to know on which SIM the phone is ringing but well… this limitation is definitely less severe than the horrible impossibility to disable a SIM so that you have to physically remove the SIM… how crazy is that?

In Settings | Network and Internet | SIMs, is there not a radio button for each installed SIM? Turning the radio button off for a SIM should disable that SIM. (I cant test this for myself as I don’t have a spare SIM lying around)
I can confirm indeed there is. At least on a BraX3 with iodéOS.
Well. The button is greyed out on my single SIM crosshatch (about to be replaced with a Dual sim .. sadly not on Iode OS). On my Auroras (Sony XZ2 premium) I cannot disable SIMs.. I get the message that I have to remove physically the SIM… This has always been the case with ALL my dual sims whether on /e/ OS, Lineage or IodeOS since at least Android 13 (or 12?). I think on some older Android variants it was possible to turn them off if needed..
I just realized that on the Mi A3 phone to be converted to /e/ OS I CAN disable the only SIM it has in it; not sure if it because it’s still on (the original) Android 11.
Crosshatch printscreen below:
Hhmmm, that’s likely one of those odd iodéOS idiosyncrasies, perhaps they assumed if anyone had a single sim they would never want to disable it? Or if it was a physical sim you can just remove it… There are definitely disable options for multiple sims including the 1 physical one on my BraX3 with iodéOS.

On my Pixel 7 Pro (single sim) I can disable that single SIM, so not certain why it doesn’t work for you, but let’s take any followup on this side note to the original post to a new topic 
I think even “stock Android” as of a year ago didn’t have this feature (non-definitive quick search):
So I don’t think we can even blame LineageOS for this one being absent
Well I’m double gobsmacked then!
And really, it just highlights why I was always averse to Android in the past and always considered it an inferior UI experience to iOS - I mean Apple basically had the separate ring tone per SIM thing right from day one IIRC (or very immediately after); when they introduced dual (or multi) SIM functionality…
In closing, my final rant so to speak: I just can’t understand who designs multi-SIM support into a system, and doesn’t include the obvious basic functionality? It doesn’t seem hard or difficult to conceive of - the whole point of multi-SIM functionality is to replicate 2 (or more) actual phones in a single physical device (if you had 2 physical phones you’d always have different ringtones to differentiate them, why would anyone think you wouldn’t want that for 2 SIMs in a single device)?!
And setting individual Contacts to default to a particular SIM also is a bit the same in Android, it’s like an afterthought so not that well implemented, even in stock versions I have seen, and poorer still in the FOSS type apps I’ve dabbled with so far… Again it was front and centre in iOS the day they implemented multi-SIMs and very user friendly, and where appropriate easily customisable, etc…
(P.S. And I’m not meaning to bag anyone who works on open source aspects in anyway, we all appreciate their efforts and commitment I’m sure, but given if you are right @rik about stock Android all I can do is quote ‘Vizzini’ and say Inconceivable…)
EDIT: P.P.S. I’ve used dual ringtones in my iPhone for over 5 years (maybe nearer 6-7)! As someone said in the thread you linked to rik: FFS Google!

I’m not certain if the option will be there, but can you check this?

Thanks @rik but no joy unfortunately. That option does not exist in iodéOS 6.8 (nor previously in 6.6 or 6.7 as it was the first place I had originally checked).
I did see somewhere on the web (reddit?) a comment a year or two ago about how supposedly Android 14’s release had nerfed any ability to do dual SIM ringtones in one type of phone or OS that had previously had the function. And also people a few years ago using Automatic app(?) to do work arounds to call a different ringtone for 1 SIM, etc…
So nothing especially helpful or positive - and I think the first item also nerfed doing anything with the second if I read it correctly - anyway you shouldn’t need to run a whole extra process to try and do this (especially given the device’s limited processor capability)…
