[Q] Galaxy Tab 2 7.0" multiuser support - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys. Yesterday I became owner of Galaxy Tab 2 7.0". It's my first tablet and I 'm quite happy so far. I installed with odin the 4.2.2 stock version and rooted it . Since all my other devices are running custom ROMs, I decided to stay stock with this one.
The only problem is that Samsung decided not to implement multiuser support for the Tab 2, and I desperately need it for my device. So I installed xposed framework and Modaco Toolkit module to enable multiuser support. After rebooting the device, the Users option appeared in the settings section as expected.
I created a new user and set it up with its own gmail etc. The problem is that when pressing the power button, there should be the existing profiles to be able to change the user from there. Right now I can't change users as expected. Is there a way to be able to change users since their profiles exist? Maybe through a script? Any help would be highly appreciated :fingers-crossed:

Hello, You want to change users? why not just change it by going to settings-->users?

Thanks for the reply.There is no way from there to change it, neither from the lockscreen.

I do have it (via the Modaco Toolkit module for xposed framework in a stock rooted rom), but what can I do from there on to be able to change back and forth?

I am using Nova Launcher and can add "User Switcher" to the power button in Settings/Buttons.

How exactly is this related to Nova Launcher? This submenu is in your ROM's settings...

MultiWindow Control App {added LSZ support}

OPTION 1 : For DEODEX Roms Only
If you have a note 2, maybe you are familiar with the MultiWindow Control App (MWC) by legendk95. The MultiWindow Control app, as the name implies, controls which apps are added on the Multiwindow bar (flashbar). You can find out more about it HERE. It was only available for note 2 users until now. I got curious the other night and thought I would like to find out how legendk95's mod works so I sort of reverse engineered his note 2 files and luckily I was successful. I asked his permission and he allowed me to share it with you. Credit and donations goes to him. So here it goes.
How to install?
Be sure you are on a rooted deodex rom - XXLSZ, XXLSC, UBLS4 or ZSLM5. Make a nandroid backup.
Download the flashable file for your rom version below and just flash thru CWM recovery.
Download and install MWC app below or for the latest version go HERE.
Launch the MWC app and select your apps. When you are finished selecting apps, press the back button and it will ask to kill Multiwindow bar. Press kill it then check the Multiwindow bar for the apps you selected. Videos of the app in action are available HERE.
Note: This mod is only for stock multiwindow, ie flashbar tray (not floating multiwindows).
OPTION 2 : For rooted ODEX & DEODEX Roms
As suggested by mscion, you can use the XposedMultiWindow.apk (credit and thanks to scalee for the module) you can find HERE if you are already using the Xposed Framework by rovo89. This module will give you unlimited apps on the multwindow bar without having to flash anything which means it should work for both ROOTED DEODEX and ODEX ROMS. To install, you must have Xposed Framework installer installed first (some info HERE) and just install the XposedMultiwindow.apk module and enable it in Xposed Installer then reboot.
Re: MultiWindow Control App { LSC, LS4 & LM5}
Nice 1
just thinking of same thing and its already here... nice...
So first of all we need to deodex LM5 then flash this mod which is long and too much trouble for me.
doing one. but still noob with it and dont dare to release it to others...
Many thanks Mate...:laugh:
Looks awesome again great Mod from U:good:

MultiWindow Control App vs. XposedMultiwindow.apk
HI. I have a Tmobile Galaxy Note 2. To allow all apps for mulitview I used the XposedMultiwindow.apk. This immediately puts all apps on the screen you get when pressing edit in multiview to transfer to the multiview bar. The MultiWindow Control App seems to require you to select apps to put on the edit screen which you then again select to put on the multiview bar. Is this correct? If so, why would this be preferable over XposedMultiwindow. Perhaps as an overall framework to do things the MultiWindow Control App is a better approach? Anyways, just asking!
Yay! I used second option on LM5 and it works no need to deodex my rom :good:
Thanks
was planning on staying on pure stock LM5
but looks like i gotta root now :laugh:
Just added mod support for XXLSZ Roms. See OP for details.
USB in my note seem not work

[Xposed] Multiwindow Apps Manager

Hello Galaxy Users,
I present you my first attempt to create a Xposed module for the powerful Xposed Framework by rovo89. This module allows you to multiwindow-enable apps that are otherwise not enabled by default by their respective developers. Unlike the unlimited hack, this module allows you to choose (enable/disable) only the apps you like with one exception - you can not disable the native multiwindow apps like gallery, solid explorer, etc. This works without patching apks or jars and it should work for all Galaxy phones/tablets that have multiwindow features like Note n7000, Note 2, Note 8, Note 10.1, SGS3, SGS4, etc. It enables multi-instance feature for Note N7000, Note 8 and SGS4 - multi-instance being the ability to launch same app more than once with some exceptions - not all apps can run in multiple instances like browsers, etc.
This module is on alpha stage so please give feedback to help me make it better.
How to INSTALL and USE?
1. Requires: rooted device (should work for both odex and deodex roms). Make sure you do not already have the unlimited apps hack or mod, otherwise this would have no effect at all.
2. Make a backup.
3. If you have not already, please install the Xposed Framework. You can find updated version HERE.
4. Download and install my Xposed Multiwindow Apps Manager module and be sure to check/enable it in the Xposed Installer module tab.
DOWNLOAD
5. RUN Xposed Multiwindow Apps Manager and choose the apps you want then reboot for changes to take effect.
6. A THANK YOU would be nice or maybe a cup of COFFEE to keep me awake in my MODDING NIGHTS.
NOTE1: Please do not repost this APP in other threads. I would appreciate it if you could just introduce and point a link to this thread to consolidate feedback.
NOTE2: To all ROM devs, you can include this in your ROMs with proper credit without need to ask my permission.

sorry to say but I don't work for me on Energy Bean Rom
my steps

- set a few apps to off
- reboot
but all apps are still there in MW
did I something wrong or maybe is it incompatible with EnergyBeanRom
oh, multi instance is working

Hi Hara , May be this is like in his mod . The deselected ones wont disappear from the List they just wont start in window mode..May be

thanks for reply,
but they start from MW, I just tested it for a minute
sent from my G-Note
As I said in the OP, if the ROM you are using already has the UNLIMITED MULTIWINDOW HACK or MOD integrated, then this module will have no effect. Just change the FlashBarService.apk and services.jar from the original stock rom.
oh thanks,
I didn't read well
sent from my G-Note
so, I have running it now for a while in parallel with the MWM. i could not find any issue, but my multi-instance is working now. it would not work at the floating MW (i dont no why, normaly it should be there). So, the MAM does his job :good:

Nice Work OP!! Thank you for this module!
I'm having an issue on my stock/rooted AT&T SGS4 - I used this to enable all of my apps, but when I try to drag one into the multi-window bar from the Edit screen, it doesn't add the app that I was try to add. It ends up adding some random app instead. Has anyone else seen this?
do you make this mod for ics 4.04 ?
im using mtk device many others too...thanks in advance
I hope it would have select all, unselect all and search apps functions in next version because it's really a pain to pick out just one or two apps among hundreds.
Thanks
---------- Post added at 02:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 AM ----------
And could you make options to disable multi-intances and not to select new installed app ?
Hi
is it only for Sam roms n TW customs? Or does it work on paranoids and cm roms?

I am having the same problem, when you swipe down to pick app it will pull out the app from the first screen only, when you pick app from the first screen it still works. I think it's a bug in determining the position of apps.

[q] "recovery reboot" option for stock rom

Hi guys is there any possibility to have "Restart in Recovery mode" (and, eventually, "in Download Mode" too) between options in Power-off menu? I'm referring to stock rom (4.2.2) and not to custom one (where I know it there is).
Thank you

Perfect indeed my question was referring to simple adding an option, indipendently if I had or not any custom rom (however I have one... the cwm 6.0.3.6)..
In every case, is that possible by flashing a zip? Or, alternatively, is there any guide from which I can learn to do this? (I know how to decompile and recompile apks)
I solved with a fantastic multi functional app developped by an xda user... it is called Wanam Xposed and it allows to customize Samsumg"s devices in hundreds of ways!!! adding options to power off menu is one of them!

Where can I get that? I see Xposed Sense 5 toolbox, but not 6. Is it something I can get in the google play store, or do I have to get an apk somewhere? I just got S-Off, so I'm trying to fix this issue now. Other than that and the Verizon bloat, this phone is perfect.
Ok, I got Xposed Framework installed, but the latest version of Sense Toolbox is for 5 and crashes instantly when I try to run it. Gravity Box says it's for AOSP roms, so I'm doubting it would work.

Derp. I left out xposed from the search and it was the first result. I'll probably wait until I install Skyfall to try it. I'm sick of the Verizon apps reinstalling themselves after I delete them with root explorer.

Stock Launcher Needed for CM 14

Hello
I have CM 14 installed on my h850
I would like to install the stock launcher since I want the double tap to sleep option, other ways don't work since the phone ends up admin locked and you have to enter a pin to unlock the the phone.
Anyone know of way to install the stock launcher?
Update I installed an app called knock on seems to work but it feels like a cludge so would prefer stock launcher

A little workaround I use,any launcher that allows gestures and then easily make double tap gesture connected with sleep (lock) activity from this app. It locks and fingerprint reader works (no need to enter your pin)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nkming.powermenu
BTW root needed,works on both stock and cm,aicp,crdroid or any other rom.
Anyway I'm using SlimLauncher from slimrom mm with this app (you can find the launcher apk on xda)
PS
I think you've posted your request in the wrong section
wrong forum (as mentioned above)
you're looking for cm's stock launcher, thats Trebuchet?
alternativly, many custom roms use Launcher3
Trebuchet
Launcher3
There is a stock G5 launcher apk floating around. It works but you can't use double tap to wake/sleep with it
sorry for posting in the wrong section where should it be questions?
