[REQ] Multi-User Login as on Android 4.2

does anyone know of ANY apps or mods that enable multiple user login on the Note 10.1 similar to the nexus 10 where you have your own profiles on the lock screen for multiple users?
so far, I have only found ONE app that does this but havent tried it yet: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEwMiwiZmFocmJvdC5hcHBzLnN3aXRjaG1lLmtleSJd
any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated!

Multi user login in Android 4.2 is embedded into the system at a very low level. Such a thing is very hard, almost impossible to port, especially without the source code of the ROM you want to port it to.

Yes in the app itself it can unroot, and you can download also your stock rom for your country from samfirmware as a backup

I've tested both ways now and in principle both go, but there are advantages and disadvantages of each. I would like to tell about the most important:
1. SwitchMe App:
i rooted the device with the above method.
then installed the switchme app and granted superuser access.
advantage:
Every user has a completely separate account on the tablet.
disadvantage:
with every switch between the users the tablet has to reboot.
2. terminal app:
also rooting with the above method.
create a new user with pm create-user Katja (my wife)...
advantage:
switching between the users is possible in the on / off menu and dont require a reboot
disadvantage:
same apps and save games in the apps
notification does not reset after switching the user. (this is very annoying)
After all i decided to not switching right now. and if i will do, i will use the SwitchME app.
maybe there will be a update to version 4.2 in near future. This will be genius with this fabulous tablet.
I hope i can help some of the users here.

thanks! ur right the app works fine but the reboot thing is annoying. I can't seem to figure out how to put the profiles on the lock screen so I can switch accounts without going into the app...anyone know how?

[APP] Multi Window Manager | Works on S4!

So my Multiwindow Manager app was restored via Titanium Backup on to my new S4. I thought about giving it a try to see if it works. To my surprise it does!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bjbinc.multiwindowmanager
Get it there ^
*fyi- It asks to install a patch everytime you open it. I suggest you hit later cause I am not so sure its ok to do so as the app doesnt officially support S4.

Confirmed working! Thanks for sharing

Tap any apps you wanted from the Disabled Packages(Top) to add into the Enabled Packages(Below) and press save at the top right corner, it will request a reboot just tap yes. After the reboot you should see the new apps you add display in the Multi Windows Menu !

I since posting worked it out.

The app was updated to officially support the S4.. so I doubt it would mess up. Ive had no issues.

Has anyone had the problem of it saying error java io file missing then closing the app? Because I don't know how to fix that :/ it worked fine on my other phone I had so I dont get why its not working on my s4.

Bloatware

Hi guys,
Quick question... I got this phone three days ago... I rooted it mostly to delete some of the bloatware... The thing is, I tried to delete the apps on the system folders, but it won't allow it... It returns an error message saying it is not possible to delete the files...
Anyone knows why this is happening and if there's a workaround?
Thanks!!!

First check you have full root or not.

why uninstall system applications,it is not recommended either one developers that is risky.
try this application work good.Make sure the app you are going to uninstall is not a system app.
Code:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=zsj.android.systemappremover&hl=en
install and Open Root app delete on your android phone and,Tap on System apps and tap on Pro when prompted to choose from Junior or Pro mode.
Scroll through the list of system apps and tap on any of the apps which you want to be removed from your phone.
Next tap on Uninstall to remove the unwanted app and again tap on OK to confirm your selection.
In case the app cannot be remove properly, you will see the following error. Tap on OK and then tap on #1 to force uninstall the app.
Now the unwanted app / bloatware will be removed from your android phone.

What version are you running? How did you get root?

Hi guys...
First of all, the "What???" wasn't meant for this post, for some strange reason when I replied on another forum post it did here... I'm really sorry about that...
Anyway... The phone was bugging and the root wasn't working right, that's why I wasn't able to delete the apps... I wasn't trying to delete system apps, but things like Google+ which I don't use at all...
Anyway, I'm on a D2306 from Brazil... I flashed the 4.4.2 global to get rid of the carrier apps, but I probably did something wrong while flashing and rooting it, so it was't working... I reflashed it yesterday and did the root again and it worked flawlessly...
I deleted the integrated apps I don't use and the phone is perfect now...
Thanks for all the help...

That's first thing I also do after rooting. There is so much delivered with the phone, and not few of it completely useless to me.
I think the advice not deleting system apps, hmmm .... what is a system app? Sony Home? SystemUI ? Or Google+, Gmail, Maps, Sony Select, ... all in system and unremovable without root. I understand that we need to be protected from doing harm to the phone we bought. But still I think the phone should come with a kind of admin function or semi-root to remove what is not needed. As it is it has more the smell of forcing people to using certain things.
For other apps I have different needs than what is supplied. I am lucky I can change things. As examples, for email I can use a normal email program such as K9, for sms I can use an sms messenger that actually does give repeat notifications, such as Evolve, QuicPic to me is the superior Album at 1/10 of the size, for navigation and maps I use Mapfactor bcs it has real offline navigation, and so on and on.

[Q] Deny App Permissions on 5.1 LMY47I

Hey guys,
I need an app to deny some permissions to certain apps on 5.1 (LMY47I), since there are apps I have installed that, I think, require some very intrusive ones. After a little search I found AppOps.
But since I am not rooted right now, could you guys confirm if this app is working correctly on 5.1 (LMY47I) on the N5. Or recommend another app, preferecially one that does not require Xposed, since it's still in Alpha (don't get me wrong, I love Xposed).
Thank you :good:
I can't post URLs, but the one I found is the one by Droid Mate.

Why donot you try a custom ROM like CM which has a build in privacy support. You can actually deny any permission to any app in settings.
There are some other apps but mostly would need ROOT i am afraid
Quote if you expect a response

Oh, I didn't know that CM had that feature builted in, definitely gonna check it out.
But is it really capable of denying ANY permission if an App? Because I tried AppOps in my rooted tablet and not all permissions could be denied, some don´t even show up on the App options.
Thanks for your answer :good:

Unable to change GPS joystick as a system app

Hello Everyone,
I have rooted my phone and am using GPS joystick Fake GPS location app from the play store. I am using a private mode within this app which helps me to create a copy of the app with a different name so that POGO does not detect it.
Everything works fine till here. I am using Lucky patcher to change the installed cloned app as a system app and it asks for a restart, after restart the cloned app goes missing.
I have no idea what is gng wrong and would need some light and help on this.
I am using a Xiaomi Mi Max
Android Version : 7.0 NRD90M
Android Security Patch Level: 2017-11-01

You can't use Titainium backup that does it but other then that I don't know. I don't mess with things like that.
Also just be careful. They are banning people caught cheating. To the point of banning the device itself.

Use titanium backup. Saw the auto correct was a mistake. That is really the only way but even then it has been detected by the game.

Can we not make an app a system app without using any of these apps?
IF i am right does it not just move the data/app to priv/app folder?

It does but it requires root. You could try just moving it with a file explorer but no promises it will work. Normally system apps only work when flashed. Also they tend to code things to look in the data partition. So moving it to system can cause issues.
You can try a few but no promises.

The phone is rooted for sure, but moving the data/app to priv/app then when I reboot it.. the files go missing! As if it was never pasted there...! That is what is causing all the issues!

That's most likely due to the signature. All apps in system need to have the same signature. Without it the apk won't run at all.
I can't help any more then that. People here don't use multiple versions of the same app.
