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

Dear,
Does there exist an application on android where we can set profiles like on windows?
so, On profile 1 (Public) some applications will be not visible, call history and sms messages and whatsapp chats are not viewable, while on the other profile which needs a password, all apps and data are available?
Thanks

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'.
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.
Hello Everyone,
I want to inform you all that i googled about the problem since 20 days and i did not got the solution. Ultimately i made my mind to ask to the masters of android in XDA forums. My problem is as follows:-
My Device : Xolo Q700s
OS : Stock ROM Jelly Bean 4.2.2
Status : Rooted using SuperSu
Recovery : TWRP 2.5
Problem : -
->I already converted many apps from user app to system app successfully. However I am unable to convert VLC player and Whatsapp to system apps successfully.
->When I try to convert them, they are converted to system app but when i launch them, they crash and close.
->I also confirmed while checking these apps in /system/app. And Yes these apps were placed there.
->Hence I am very helpless. Also I read some where that this problem is related to system libraries.
->I tried all the methods and apps from playstore but all i got was failure.
I hope you might have got my problem. And I seroiusly need help from you all. Please help me since I am also a great follower of android.
Thank you in advance.

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.
Hi all,
We want to develop a Custom ROM for Android devices with the following requirements.
After successfully launching the OS, it will automatically run or specific application with its home screen.
We also need to create our own App store which will contains all collections of our apps. It can be downloaded and use on that tablet/device. We also want to remove or restrict restrict any installation from Google playstore.
Once new android version come then we can push it to the device as they are connected to our store.
Please let me know what is the best possible way to work on this scope?
Do we need to work directly on Android Source Code?
Is there any paid custom ROM available so that we can add these features and compile it and flash it on Android device?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
why you want a custom rom with such restrictions?
We have a requirement of a project from one of our potential client. He wants to develop is his own app store and also want to launch his own app as launcher. We have one such example like One of our ticketing company in Lahore Pakistan has and Android tablet, and we gone there for air ticket.*
The man powered ON the android tab and at the end the ticketing app launched automatically.*
So this is our first requirement how to do it and then we want to develop a custom app store for our client. Please let us know if anything is possible.
Thank you.
