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.
Market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.switchme
The free version allows the creation of two profiles and has no security features.
Screens:
Adminitrator accounts
Any profile on the device can be given elevated-privelage administrator rights. These accounts have the ability to wipe all profiles from the device, or delete individual profiles. An administrator however can not switch to other password-protected accounts, only remove them or grant them administrator permissions.
Once you have granted admin rights to a profile, the owner of that profile will have the same privilages as you. You can revoke these rights from the same menu in security settings.
Incompatibility errors
These are usually caused by Superuser installations outside /system. If you find that this error occurs inside a newly created profile, go to the market and download the Superuser app and then go back into SwitchMe. You should now be able to switch back to your original profile.
These can also be used by erroneous A2SD links in your ROM. Try another if you need this app to work.
Custom Roms
Most stock based roms work flawlessly, some custom ones do not. We know that MIUI currently has framework glitches. CM7 and CM9 are known to work well - tested on Xoom, Xoom 2, Galaxy Nexus, Transformer 101/201/301 and Galaxy Tab 7.7/8.9/10.1, Incredible S, Sensation, Iconia tabs, Nexus 7
A general to do list from user feedback (not exclusive)
Must have
Widget like in Call Master [done]
Encryption
Export profiles to SD
Location aware (probably through Tasker)
Could use
More detailed info
App/data sharing
Custom lockscreen
Would be nice
Support for A2SD etc [done]
Reserve space for profiles
Oh WOW! Testing immediately on my Galaxy Tab 10.1!
Seems really amazing! but sounds risky, so I will wait for feedback from others. I just hope that the switching does not take up too much time or battery for that matter.
Will this work on a Samsung exhibit II

It will warn you if there is not enough space... so unless you have trouble reading warnings its pretty much risk free.

I dont see why not. Just make sure your current profile doesnt take up more than half the ROM if you clone it.
Alright, will make nandroid backup and try.
Is it possible to run two different android Roms ?
as in - On one profile have CM7 and on another profile have a stock based rom
No. Only multiple installations of the same base rom. Any content inside /system cannot not be changed.

Well this worked for me on MIUI on MT4G, but on the profile I created, there was no status bar... is that normal?

You mean you switched to a new profile and there was no status bar? Or you cloned it and there was no status bar?
Maybe you could help us debug - post a screenshot, use the "Write to us" function?

I switched to a new one and there was none. I'll try again, if it's not there again, I'll screen shot it, and send you guys the image
Better send logs as well. Be sure to include a description - "no status bar in new profile" or something to that effect.

Just did it! Here's an image
Interesting... i think this is fixable. Are you using a custom one? Or storing any apps on the sd?
GPS.conf Profiles
This app does installs a customized gps.conf file for your GPS. It has several different profiles to choose from. We recommend to use the default Google profile but it is up to you. Apart from the general profiles, you can customize the one profile you choose to fit your own needs.
NTP Servers
Derek Gordon maintains a special NTP server pool for you. Dispite what everyone thinks, it is not necessarily the one closest to you which is the best. We consider Derek Gordon's server to be the best option to choose because it has the best data and is most frequently updated.
For more information about the NTP server check out the "About this app" section found under the settings of this app. Also, feel free to visit derekgordon.com for more in depth information.
aGPS Alamanacs
Derek Gordon maintains a special aGPS almanac for devices using Qualcomm or similar chipsets. This xtra.bin data file is updated every 30 minutes and is located on a content delivery system maintained by the generous donations of ther userbase.
For more information about the NTP server check out the "About this app" section found under the settings of this app. Also, feel free to visit derekgordon.com for more in depth information.
Donations
To maintain the server we need money. Donations through this app will be divided between Derek Gordon (Crypted) and Zatta on XDA.
Each star costs 2 Euro and will reduce the waiting time before you can install the patch. 0 star users wait 20 seconds, 1 star users 10, 2 star users only 5 and 3 star users and Premium users can install immediately.
You can become a premium user for only 5 Euro. This is a discount of 1 euro compared to a three star user! We choose this method to allow every one to use all features of this app and because we believe in XDA developers users. Please, don't leech!
Backup and Restore
On the first run of this app a backup is made on your SD card. Don't remove it because a backup is only made during the first run (or at an update if you choose to remove it anyway) and no other backup is found on your SD card.
ROM Updates
The patch this app provides is located on your /system partition so every time you do update your ROM the patch is overwritten and you will have to redo the patch.
Unless you are using a Cyanogenmod based ROM and your rom has addon.d support. In that case a script will be placed in the addon.d directory to preserve the patch.
It can be disabled in the app's settings but is enabled by default.
ASUS Users
On ASUS roms a typical file is present at /system/etc/gps, namely the gpsconfig.xml file. This app pathes that file as well, to be specific the PeriodicTimeOutSec parameter. Of course a backup is made of this file as well.
Get it on Google Play!

I use GPS Status app for testing my GPS, and after installing this app, it needed <10 secs to find my exact location.And I wasn't even under the clear sky.It usually takes min or two to get lock.The thing is, when I opened maps, it wasn't so precise.The circle was around 1km big.Thats strange.I will test more tomorrow though.
Can you explain exactly how this app helps to get quicker gps lock?

I can't do that exactly because there are many variables that are tweaked. This has been a long process, Crypted spent roughly 2 years experimenting with the gps.conf file and maintains 30 (!!) threads for various devices all over XDA.
The main thing though is the excellent ntp server he maintains.
Thanks to all downloaders over the past two weeks. We are now on a steady 400 active installations of the app, that is a rate of 66 percent of the total downloads which is great!
What makes me even more proud is that I didn't get any bug reports so far..

No it didn't create the backup of original file. just the folder was created in the sdcard.The new file is created in system/etc folder. I will try to upload original GPS confg file from ROM dump. I'm on micromax a110 device. It is a rebranded Chinese phone available in Indian market
Just to give some more info if that will help. I'm using an extremely large host file to block ads. not sure if this has any connection.
Been testing this on a Nexus 4 with Stock ROM and Franco Kernel. I've always had spotty GPS (if at all, specially inside buildings if I don't turn On WiFi). Yesterday, it locked me inside my house without WiFI after reboot in 3-4 seconds. Today, it has been kind of spotty. I flashed the General settings with no specific Country. I live in Puerto Rico. Do you recommend some specific settings?

Come on now, don't be so vague...
When it doesn't work, where are you? When it works, where are you?
Do you have any non-standard Nexus 4 ROMs installed? Any other GPS tweaks installed?
If it locks at a previous location, it sounds like GPS isn't being activated and it uses cached coordinates.
I have Stock ROM rooted with Franco Kernel, nexus 4. It doesn't work as well inside buildings which is to be expected. Yet I would like to have at least an estimate of my position. Couldn't this be done with network data? No other mods installed.

Update available
Now that I have the Skyrocket officially supported, I will be posting weekly updates. Goo app seems to be working well, but be aware the download sometimes times out, especially during peak times. Always download on wif connection (if you can) and try to download the updates during off peak hours. It's the goo servers, and when they are backed up, we all suffer...lol
Enjoy folks!
Glad to see Skyrocket is officially supported.
I used 1-01-24-14-UNOFFICIAL for about two weeks and only issue was randomly screen will take long time to turn on.
It happened couple of times also with incoming calls. The ringtone will start but after ~10 secs still nothing on the screen.
Recently moved to 1-01-29-14-UNOFFICIAL and haven't had this problem any more.
I'll try the weekly.
Great work, thanks.

That was kernel related bug. Depending on which gov/scheduler you use, occasionally there was a horrible lag when coming out of deep sleep after the battery level dropped below 75%. But it was so intermittent, I though I was the only one having the problem...lol
It happened again on 1-01-29-14-UNOFFICIAL. Call comes in, ringtone play and nothing on the screen until I manually turn it on by pressing the power button.
I'm using "Interactive" scheduler.
Will the latest Weekly bring any benefit?

Interactive is the governor. If that's the governor you're using, I would recommend switching the scheduler to noop.
I would also flash the latest version (Weekly) as it includes some kernel fixes that addresses issues like this...

why thank you....alot of work went into it...making sure code was done properly as well as building with gcc 4.8 for rom and sabermod 4.8 for kernel really finely tunes and optimizes the rom just perfectly
Now that it's out into the open!! The best ROM used since forever. Get 16k+ scores on antutu and whatnot. Very stable and have had no raging temperature sores. Definitely the best ROM out there. Period.
Credit goes to R3V3NT3CH for all his hard work and time spent on the development of what might be just one of the best phones with a physical keyboard till date..

There actually are a few glitches that I'm noticing, now that I've had time to play with the phone. Is there a way to disable certain services / features to get the phone to run a little better? What I'm looking for is something very bare-bones; I don't need any bells or whistles. For example, I've disabled all the animations that I could, but are there any other tips to make the phone a little more responsive?
Another problem is that the phone doesn't want to update to a newer LS, it says "Invalid ROM (liquidd2lte) & device (apexqtmo) combo!"
Any ideas?

the reason it wont update through settings is because although the relay is a d2 variant phone it is not unified for any of the d2 variant updates....hence why for now its unnoficial and not unified or seperately branched on liquids end for updates.....as for wanting something very bare liquid is not meant for this as it has a huge multitude of customizations....try using slimkat and flash my kernel over it and im sure youll find what you are looking for

Hello and thx for the nice ROM, only KITKAT makes my phone useable.
Unfortunately i have some issues.
1. No deep sleep after charging, i have to reboot to resolve that.
(performance menue changes: cpu limit to 1458 on boot)
2. Email only imap and no way for option dont delete from server?
How i change to some kind with no delete from server or better which app work?
(k9 app don't have this option, gmx app have this option but activate the option do exactly nothing,
the mails are still deleted).
3. Gallary don't show photos that took with app Ucam, same if photos send by bluetooth.
I have to reboot to see the photos from the last session (media scanner only scan at boot).
4. TrackID with optical issue, i report a video if nessesary and i inform me about HowTo take a on screen video.
5. No undervolt possible, the performance menue told me my device doesn't support undervolting. Checked that behavior with some tuning tools, same issue. All tweaking tools tells me Kernel doesen't support undervolting so i deinstalled the tools without changes. No worries, i have some uv experience with xperia pro
I installed your new kernel yesterday (B14CK1RD v. 1.1) and repplaced the original one from LiquidSmooth but unfortunately the issues are the same.
Only 1. and 3. are realy important for me.
and again, thx for the nice LiquidSmooth

I didn’t create this, I only fixed some problems (mostly closely related to i9305 device) and built it. It is a big difference, similar to buying versus building a house. Buying a house is not a simple thing (at least in my country) and you’d probably need to do some changes and repairs before you can start living in it. But building a house is something completely different and much more difficult. The work I’ve done on these CM builds is more like buying a house. The see the list of people who "built the house" go into Settings on your phone, section About phone and then Contributors. It is a really long list. Thanks to all of them
Also, please, keep in mind, that I am only sharing results of my hobby.
Now, please, proceed to the this post for the build (I’ll probably change this to more traditional OP after the code stabilizes, but now I’d like to keep track of history, instead permanent rewriting the OP.)
Thanks @nels83 for several commits.
Sometimes it takes me a while to publish new build. But there are also other builds from @mad89 - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_ohj9exsQJMSU84MGxkbFdnYUk
OK, so here is the first taste (which I know about) of CM 14 (Android 7 Nougat) for Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE - i9305. Before You even think about installing it on your device, please, keep in mind the warning from OP. Consider the build experimental - AFAIK CM 14 has not been even officially released yet. Be prepared to restore your current system. You have been warned and you can download here:
cm-14.0-20160930-UNOFFICIAL-i9305.zip
Please expect bugs.
Basically all hw is working (I didn’t do any thorough testing, I’ve just checked the basic functionality):
- RIL - data (2G, 3G, LTE), in/out calls, I didn’t check SMS
- wifi
- bluetooth
- GPS (with one minor glitch - see notes bellow)
- camera (I can take photos, but there is some problem with video recording) and flash light
- probably all the sensors (accelerometer, magnetic field, orientation, pressure, light, proximity, etc.) I haven’t checked them one by one, but also haven’t noticed any sensor functionality missing
- NFC
Notes, problems, etc.
- mobile data probably won’t work after first boot, reboot fixes it
- as mentioned above, there is one GPS glitch - I can get the fix, no problem with that, but the list of satellites (e.g. in SatStat) contains sometimes SBAS satellites. This is probably some software error (there is quite big change in gps code) or I’ve found hidden hw functionality (I don’t think so, I am not sure if I can even receive signal from these satellites in my area).
- I can’t access developer setting menu
- there was a bug in the camera code, which was also in cm 13. This bug caused crashes when the preview started, I don’t understand how the camera can work in cm13...
- the recovery image is too big to fit into recovery partition
- selinux is permissive
- I’ve finally fixed the annoying bug in kernel, which caused kernel panic (and phone reboot) when there was missing camera firmware. Beside thisi, the firmware is now loaded from system partition
- there are probably many other bugs, the development is still in progress
Code changes:
All the code changes I did to make this work are in attached diff file (code.diff) and this repo. Many of them are quick & dirty fixes (just to make it work). I am planing to do it properly and upload on github. There is also attached roomservice.xml, which I*used and list of commits and some screenshots.

OMG WHAT RIL WORKS
YOU ARE A LEGEND
i'll help to test in 2 weeks time, exams now. Just ended school and its 9pm whew
(even i9300 hasn't gotten it yet)
btw1: why isnt your thread xda:db yet
btw2: since a kernel takes 6 minutes to build i'm making one right now just for fun to see if it works. will upload later lol. at the same time start backing up stuff slowly.

for those who are already testing this rom to try. I have not tested it myself, please back up system beforehand.
Hey, so good to see you here with such good news about your CM14 alpha. Keep up the good work and thanks a lot to spend your free time with this hobby.
When I'll have free time, be sure I'll test your builds and report.
Awesome. Never expect to keep this phone this long when I bought it 2012 and now 7.0 :laugh:
RIL works before i9300... This must be magic, the least buggy build you can publicly get for the i9300 is a build where nothing works, not even WiFi, but here RIL works too, and WiFi, amazing work :good:
What is this sorcery? How in GOD's name did you achieve this feat? My internet was down for ~30 minutes and this is what I see first thing. HOW? I swear I will have to donate some money to you @p.a.n because reasons. If you can PM me some info as to how i can donate some money, I'll be more than willing to.
Hi everyone,
thanks for the support (@西村大一 thanks for offering the donation, I appreciate it, but I`d like to keep money out of this).
There is no magic involved, Just good old plain debugging and RIL wasn`t the most difficult one. The fix for camera, even if it looks simple, was more difficult. I was overlooking the solution for long time, maybe because the code works in cm13 (this I consider magic).
@limjh16 what do you expect from building the kernel? There some important fixes there, but it doesn`t make much sense without the rest.
Maybe some of my fixes may help i9300 porting. It would make sense (e.g. I suppose the kernel version is at least similar, so finit_module syscall has to be changed back to init_module).
Thanks Pan for your work! I will try it. ?

Okay, I respect your decision. One bug to report is external SD card. It doesn't get mounted in fstab, but it gets detected as dev/block/platforms3c-sdhci.2 (if that is the sdcard) without any problems. I'll look into the fstab and add some mount point for sdcard and see if i can make it to work.
Dev settings menu is multiple tap on build number and works without any issue, WiFi works, RIL works, haven't tested the camera, calls work, everything is fine and dandy. Once the SDcard problem is fixed, it is good for daily driving needs.
The GPS 'Glitch' you talk about is not a glitch per say. It is supposed to help with GPS somehow (see this wikipedia article to feed your brain information). And as a little tip, after the first boot, just reboot once to get 3G/LTE/Whatever if you're not near WiFi. Smooth runner, daily driver candidate.

7.0 ARM yes, Pico or Nano are recommended
Very nice work p.a.n. It's already mostly working and very smooth.
Yeah i can confirm, external SD card is not avialable in system. I found another one too, com.android.phone process is crashing when entering dialer/settings/ call settings/call barring.
Pardon my nebulous language without logcats but I noticed one thing about that camera crashes. For me, it's often happening when i try to launch app with camera access and there is another one(or more) in recents menu which had accessed camera. Clearing all apps in recents can bring back access to camera but sometimes only reboot can help, hard to reproduce exactly same scenario. Fast opening and switching beetween diffrent apps with access to camera preview (eg cm cam, googlecam, camerazoom, instagram, fb messanger) can quicly cause these crashes too. Maybe there is some kind of dependency/lock / timming or ram management issue which causes that. Thanks again for great work.
I confirm SD card is mor available. SMS is working, GPS also.
Is not possible to setup weather source for clock widget.
Is not possible to change battery icon
Thanks.

Well I was tired from studying and wanted to take a break
Nothing more than just a little experiment.

God damnit, hate to be the first one.
Could any one please test the front camera ?
NVM: Crashed once, working now

no.
Hi Pan! I just wanna say, "thanks" for all your hard work for this device. I've been using your builds ever since winxuser switched phones. You're doing great work, keep it up!
Cheers,
eages.

If you want a brick then go ahead. Otherwise get the i9305.
