I know this is going to sound very redundant, almost useless actually, but please bear with me. Is it possible to create an app player for android? By this I mean an app that creates a virtual environment that runs apks and lets you use them just as the normal app would work. The reason I ask this is because many people have multiple accounts for popular online games such as Blood Brothers and Rage of Bahamut but can't access both on the same rom. Titanium Backup allows you to create different data profiles for apps but it simply doesn't work on these types of online games and there doesn't seem to be another viable solution to running the same app twice on your phone.

hi,
No parental controls on android, but I'm giving my phone sometimes to kids and, i don't want them to mess up with eg calling people in my list, starting messaging, reading email, going to porn site, installing new apps etc.. basically just let them play the installed games
Is there any ready made app or script anyone knows of that achieve that?
Basically, replacing the launcher by a launcher where i choose the apps, and which needs a password to exit (it has to also change the home button not to show task manager on froyo etc)
So not hacker proof but enough for regular 10y olds not to do bad stuff
Any idea? I'm nearly thinking of a quick of dirty bash script moving all apk's away and back...
Hi guys Im one of the developers of SwitchMe - an app that creates multiple user spaces. We have just released a new build which should fully support the Note. Please have a look and let me know if everything is working as it should!
Thanks in advance, PR after the break:
.................................................................................................
SwitchMe - share your device!
SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple installations of Android just as you would on a desktop computer.
SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple user spaces just as you would on a desktop computer, with each profile having its own separate system settings, apps and data.
Some of the benefits of this technology:
Privacy
Securely share one device among many users, protect your accounts with passwords and log out automatically.
Kids
Create a profile for the kids, with only the apps and access you feel comfortable with.
Gaming
Overclock your profile for maximum performance in intensive games
Speed
Imagine a buttery smooth profile, with no kids games, messengers or bloatware to slow things down.
Testing
Create a sandbox profile to easily test applications and themes - no more nandroid nightmares!
Battery
Switch to a profile which only contains the essentials to save power through brute force.
Critical usage warning:
Incorrect use of this application can potentially harm your device. Before proceeding with use we strongly recommend that you perform a full nandroid backup through the device recovery.
READ THE HELP FILE CAREFULLY TO AVOID ISSUES
Without the Key, this application allows a maximum of 2 profiles and no security features.
Only the standard Android implementation of Apps2SD is currently supported. Use all others at your own risk.
Most devices should be compatible as long as they have enough free internal memory to create secondary profiles. The application will warn users if available memory is low.
These of course are only suggestions - there are plenty of other uses for the functionality SwitchMe offers.

The free version allows the creation of two profiles and has no security features.

Anything to report?
Everything work fine on the first day, but later when i boot in my second account, it reboot for almost 10 mins and lost my active one, and lost everything
Sent from my GT-P6200 using xda app-developers app
So, what changes did you make to your system? Because generally things have both cause and effect...
no big changes with my tab, just normal use, no overclock... its just a clean install on the second account. I just want to use it after work for playing game and web surfing. that's it. But when i want to switch it back to my active account, it switched off immediately and reboot for almost 10mins, and boot into the second account and i lost my active one.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You didnt lose anything, you just switched profiles... the first switch between any two can take a while.
Guys there have been reports of the app being blank sometimes. Im trying to work out if this is something to do with superuser vs supersu. If youve experienced this, please let me know and be sure to tell me which of the two youre using...
Hi all
As the title says I'm looking for an app (paid or free) that will allow me to freeze apps and services on my Androids.
I am not having much luck searching the Play Store. I have come across a few, but they don't have the abilities like I detail below.
At the moment I am using App Quarantine Pro and while it mostly works it has some quirks and I cannot fully rely on it. Added to that it has not been updated in a long time and is, I consider, abandonware. The chances are it will work even less reliably on Android Marshmallow
The feature that AQP has is the ability to create groups to freeze apps and with a couple of taps you can freeze/unfreeze all of the apps in a group. Each group can have a widget, too, making it even more useful. Within that widget you can even choose to start individual apps, too. It's amazing!
Chef's Freezer is very old, not reliable like AQP on newer OS.
Link2SD Plus you can only freeze/unfreeze apps one at a time
Same for SD Maid Pro and Root Uninstaller Pro.
App Freeze is not bad, but you can't group or group widget
Disable Application is not bad, you can create a shortcut for each app, but no groups or group widgets either.
Disable Bloatware is more an 'app hider' which does not suit my needs
Freeze App does have the shortcut facility, too, but again no groups or group widgets.
None of these seems to touch services either, though one that does all services, too, is probably expecting too much.
I know that Titanium Backup Pro has a label/widget facility and would satisfy my requirements, but, and I hope this makes sense, I'd prefer to keep TBP for backup operations and not have loads of labels for quarantining apps mixing in with my existing labels for running certain types of backups. I will use TBP if I have to, though.
I should clarify further I am not looking for, or interested in, apps like Greenify or such hibernation apps. I want the app to be locked totally until I choose to run it manually.
Hopefully someone knows of an app that will meet my needs.
Hi,
I want to add golf clash gaming app to App twin. Can someone help me with the process?
Thanks
You exactly want to duplicate a game?
Yes, I want two apps of the same game like two instances of FB or WhatsApp. Earlier I was using app cloner but now it doesn't support this game.
I have to logout every time I want to use my alternate account and it's a tedious process involving recovery codes hence I am looking to have two apps of the same game.
Thanks
I was on OOS and recently switched to crDroid. Probably the only thing that I really miss is the utility called Parallel Space which allowed me to have two copies of the same package. It worked seamlessly. However, ever since I have switched to crDroid, my options are limited. Any dual space app that i try from the Play Store are either clumsy or bloated. I am looking for a worthy replacement for OOS' Parallel Apps. The best app I could find was 'Island'. But it is more of a sandbox app. To use one app in Island (ex. WhatsApp), I need to add more apps to Island (Adobe Reader to view pdf, Contacts apps to access contacts, etc.)
So I want to know what apps are you guys using, and if possible also tell why. Thanks.
