I would like to access the SIM menus on an Android phone using STK.

I am trying to write an APK that shows the SIM Menus and perform operations on it. However, since the software would be used by users, replacing the OS core modules may not be an option.

How can I do this?

This is, unfortunately, not possible. SimToolkit applications are protected from use by other applications because they could incur charges for the user or alter his connectivity state without his knowledge or consent.

The SimToolkit application (which is signed by the manufacturer or mobile operator so that it has special privileges) is the only application which is permitted to communicate with the STK application on the SIM card.
