How to manage other users' apps from main user. - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ex,install,uninstall.

Questions belong in Q&A.
To answer your question: A separate user is a separate user. The entire point is to have them separate. You don't.

Any apps do that via root access ?

As far as I know, no. There's no way besides going on that user.

Apps installed using lucky patch will be available for all users.

[Guide] Multi User Setup for Kitkat 4.4.4 (for noobs)
Wait, there's no way to make apps installed as owner available for other user profiles?
Am I really supposed to reinstall all apps for all users again and again?
EDIT:
Posted a step-by-step guide to setup Multi User on the A10-70 running Kitkat 4.4.4 (should work on Lollipop or similar devices too).
Please help perfect it.

Guidelines
Some general guidelines (not rulles!) to follow -
1. Dont post in the wrong forum. Any development thread goes to development section. Any stuff related to themes, apps, games, shares general mods etc, go to themes and apps section. Any query, obviously, shall go to q&a section. Rest go to general.
2. Searching is key to a happy life on XDA . Never post without searching. If you are sure that what you want is not there on WHOLE of XDA, then post it.
3. Refrain from making posts like "thank you dev/ great work man/ thank you/ good luck/ best wishes" in development threads. Keep the development threads as clean as possible.
4. Questions will not be entertained in the development thread.
5. ETA (Estimated time of arrival) will not be entertained in any development thread. Asking again and again will not make it better, but may make it worse.
6. If you post in threads without following the above guidelines, you are actually putting yourself and others in trouble.
7. Use the
Thanks button to thank the dev/member, dont write it as a post.

ROOTING -
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEFINITION - Android rooting is the process of allowing users of smartphones, tablets, and other devices running the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's subsystem.
As Android was derived from the Linux kernel, rooting an Android device is similar in practice to accessing administrative permissions on Linux or any other Unix-like operating system such as FreeBSD or OSX.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROCESS - Android 2.1 (Eclair) - Use the app Z4Root from market
Android 2.2 (Froyo) - Link
Android 2.3/4.0/4.1/++ (Gingerbread/Ice cream sandwich/Jelly Bean) - No need, if you are on one of these, you are already rooted.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUT WHY TO ROOT ?? - Link
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLASHING -
1. STOCK ROMS can only be flashed via ODIN. For a guide on how to use ODING, head HERE
LINK : TO GUIDE ON HOW TO USE ODIN FOR FLASHING STOCK/CUSTOM ROMS/KERNELS !
2. CUSTOM ROMS can be flashed either via ODIN or via CWM Recovery (Once you have it - see 2nd post) depending on the type of the file provided by the dev. .tar files need ODIN. update.zip files can be flashed via CWM.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STOCK AND CUSTOM ROMS -
For any stock ROM (2.1/2.2) go to LINK

Yes, you're right. Multiuser support is what you're talking about, and it is available from android version 4.2.2 and above. It is enabled on tablets by default. For phones, you would need to flash custom ROMs that have multiuser support. If you're not on 4.2.2+, then you could try the SwitchMe app on the Playstore instead (requires root).

Since I do not know much about your device, you should probably ask this question here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2100
You're bound to get a better answer that way!
P.S. When you ask in that forum, avoid using words like 'best rom' or 'stable rom'.

[Q] Custom android build -> can (custom) pre-installed app be an USER app ?

Hi All,
I have a question regarding custom android build; pre-installed apps and USER app vs SYSTEM app.
A specific app needs to be an USER app but has to be pre-installed in this custom android build.
But from everything that I read this seems not possible, and can only work if it is an SYSTEM app. Is this correct?
This has been trown in my lap but I have very little experience with Android development. I'm hoping I can find the answer / useful feedback here.
Since I did not become wiser after searching for a while.
Thanks,
Thijs

Looking for Custom Rom or App to manage rights granted to Apps.

Hey lads & lassies,
I am pretty new to this.
I am looking for either an App or Custom Rom to controll the rights given to apps.
I want to install some Apps that want the right to access each and everything on my phone (Xiaomi Inc.'s "MiHome"). It just doesn't need that.
I am also annoyed by the amount of rights other apps demand.
I know the old CyanogenMod added the possibility to deny certain rights to apps and still install them. I am looking for something like that.
If you need that data: I am using the
- Samsung Galaxy S8
- Model Number SM-G950F
- Android Version 7.0
- Build: NRD90M.G950FXXU1AQH3
Do know something out there that does that?
I am not yet rooted, but will do so a.s.a. I know that there is a App or Rom to solve this Problem.
Thank you for your help.

Few questions about rooted device

Hello everyone.
I have recently rooted my tab S6 LTE by flashing TWRP. I have done it for gaming purposes and to boost my device performance.
1-Which rom/kernel should I use for best gaming experience ? I heard I can reach 70 fps. What do i need to do to achieve that ?
2-My safety net fails on CTsProfile, how can that affect my device?
3-What modules should I download that would boost the games performance?
4-Is it possible to create a full backup using TWRP without pc/external storage ?
5-I tried to install rom manager but it says this app was built for a different android firmware, is there anyway I can install it and have it fully functional?
6-What are some recommended/useful apps I should use on a rooted device ?
7-Is there any app that speed ups the ads on apps with
out disabling them so I can still claim the rewards?
Is there anyway I can add Samsung pass to magisk hide ? I can't find the app since it doesn't have a physical icon after the last update
Extra info ; I'm using android 10
Thank you in advance
TL;DR
Split this thread in appropriate single ones.
Any answers please
What is this useless website ? I thought XDa were one of the best and oldest ios/android websites ?
Bull****, you're not even half as good as github
