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'.
Hello Everyone.
Good News for everyone. I have decided to maintain a help thread at Xperia L community in order to keep the threads for development/general section more clean and better organised. I have been noticing for a long time that whenever new users join, they still are not sure about the rules and thus mistakenly post in the wrong sections too often. If any senior member points it out to them, mostly it is either ignored or taken personally. Thus I have decided a combined help section would be very helpful to the community and the questions which are sometimes left unanswered and lost in question answer forums, that would not happen again for all of you.
I would be personally answering all your questions and shall refer you to someone in case I feel someone else would be able to answer the same question in a more detailed way. Other users can feel free to answer as well if you think you can tackle the situation well and make sure while answering any question, you provide enough information to the users as well. You can easily link the users to posts if you think a question has been already answered.
REASONS I AM MAKING THIS
Lots of repetitive questions.
Same things told again and again
Threads remain clean
A simple reference to every important thread that you should visit in case you have a problem
WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO
Read the rules here XDA RULES BEFORE YOU POST
Idea of this thread is to help and to be helped. So ask any question you have in mind related to Xperia L, Android, or anything at all as long as it is related to Xperia L directly or indirectly.
Make sure you are precise with your information
Be Detailed
Do not repeat the same thing again and again
Use search button to find if your question has been asked before. Do not repeat your question if it is answered before.
WHAT INFORMATION YOU MUST PROVIDE
1.Your bootloader status
2. Rom name with complete baseband/date/version
3. Kernel name
4. Any Mods you are using
5.If you are using Custom Rom, your flashing style i.e dirty/clean or you wiped anything else in specific
6. If you used any guide, link to the guide
7. Root status
8. Your exact problem
9. Any method you tried that failed
10.Any other detail you think would be necessary
Make sure you provide as much details as possible. Things like my phone won't turn on please help would not be of any help to you or to the person answering. So please make sure you provide as much detail so we know exactly what is your problem and thus guide you in the right direction.
A sample would be something like this
Device: c2105
ROM name: CM 12 dated 10th May
ROM version and base: 3.99-RC2
Build number: CM_taoshan-userdebug 4.3 JLS36G
kernel version and its settings: 3.4.0-thunderzap.kernel.plus [email protected] #193
Rooted
Sabertooth Mod
I can not use my WIFI. Although i tried flashing Wifi modules but it does not work.
I flashed CM over 1.5.2A.0.17 Stock
ETC

Please remember "Give respect to others, others will respect you back!" in simple words, No abuse towards newbies/noobs will be tolerated here! So anyone found doing that would be reported.
Another important thing is MAKE SURE YOU THANK THE PERSON who helps you. This is to show your appreciation to someone who personally took his time to answer your question. He had been nice enough to do it for FREE and nothing else. A simple thank you to his post will go a long way. The questions would be answered more and the one who is answering would be happy to answer more questions. So it is a gain gain situation for all of you. Read my signature because most people take help for granted here. So be kind to others and HIT THANKS BUTTON A LOT.

Hey, guys! Hope you're having a nice day! I'll cut to the chase now...
Now, I wanna downgrade my Xperia L from android version 4.2.2 to version 4.1.2. I know there already are quite a few threads on this topic but, I am completely new to all of this. I've tried following those and many other threads but have not been able to accomplish anything so far. Ha! I don't even what some of the terms mean.
Thanks for your help in advance,

Is there any Lollipop ROM which is (relatively) stable and bugfree? I have CM12.1 and am not really satisfied (after all it's only beta 2)
It doesn't have to have plenty of functionality (but would be nice if it really had some)

Although everyone likes to have their own customisation in a ROM and what features they are looking for, it is very hard to pin point which would suit you best. For now , the best thing you can do is test few roms like Resurrection Remix, PACMAN etc and see what suits you best.
As far as your stablility issues are concern, the BSOD is major problem in 12.1. I suggest you go back to CM12 nightlies from official website.

There is a similair thread at the Galaxy Tab 2 forum. It might be best to ask a mod to pin this.
And @Joel16, I still have the device in my possession. (It's eating dust in my drawer) I'll check here regularly to help users if needed.

@SdtBarbarossa you could also add flashing supersu zip for #2. Your method is easier, of course, but personally i run to some issues with cm's default (ie titanium backup seems to prefer supersu). Not sure if it's just me though.

Now when I try to turn it on again, I see SONY and then XPERIA logo, and then Xperia colour animation on the screen. It's been like that for more than an hour, and to turn it off I needed to pull out the battery. PC companion doesn't recognize it . I've tried holding the volume up button while starting up (the logos) and holding down both volume buttons and nothing happened.

After Xperia L
First of all thank you for this useful thread.
My question :
Why is Sony Xperia L lucky for custom ROMs, Kernels etc. I know that Soc (Snapdragon) has major requirement for this kinds of staff. However, I think, Xperia L has also something different and Which Sony Smart Phone are you suggest to buy after sony Xperia L supported like this?

Hi devs,
I need email with exchange security disabled
As far as I have looked for, there is no available solution: Wanam module requires xposed, which is not yet available for our S6 64 bits architecture, Alliance fwk announces the feature but it is not active,
So I decided to implement the solution based on the tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/guide-add-toggle-to-bypass-email-t3129898
I can't get the app working on the phone (it crashes). I suspect that zipalign is doing 32 bits alignment whereas the S6 is 64 bits. I found no indications on Android dev site...
So can anyone help me to get S6 app recompiled and working correctly on the device.
I know that exchange security bypass is an expected feature, so I would try helping to get it quickly

Hello!!!
Recently I've installed dual boot on my phone, and this faced me:
The dual boot manager app has an option to reboot to specific ROMs using a homescreen shortcut, BUT the shortcut can only be created through the app. That means i cannot see it in the widgets page of any launcher, or the shortcuts.
I tried to see if there's a certain activity I can launch to change the ROM and failed.
I also tried to see if I can mimic the shortcut, but then saw it doesn't just change a little thing, but changes a whole file of 5mb and makes specific text changes I cannot mimic.
This is where my question comes in - is it possible for me to make start this shortcut via tasker or anything of the kind, withought simulating taps on the homescreen oe wherever?

I am using the Galaxy S5 SM-G900F running CyanogenMod 13 as the primary ROM and AICP (MM) as the secondary ROM.
I am using the dual boot app found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447534
Although at a first glance the thread seems to deal only with the galaxy s4, upon opening the app you see there are quite a few devices supported - including the galaxy s5.

So I bought the Honor 8 in China. This means that when I swipe to the right (from the homepage) I can see Chinese news, instead of international or English. Is there some way of changing that. All I want to know is how to access the settings for that feature.

That would be great.
I was wondering, if I could link the news function to another application, I would do that. I searched the device for the source of the news and wondered, if I deleted it, would it provide me with the option of replacing it with another.
If you could ask, I would be most grateful.

From an authorized source, it seems impossible at this moment to change the news sources. But a feedback has been sent to the Huawei developer team. Hopefully, a future update can allow you to customize those functions. One suggestion given by them is to use a third party news source and ignore the Chinese news for now.
As the Chinese version of EMUI has more functionality, include more available Camera plugins and better AI designs, I hope you enjoy the default EMUI system, anyways.

Some things in the Chinese forum that were suggested:
-If you haven't yet, turn on your location and refresh the news
- they said news is based on you specifically, like Google now news, so maybe after time it will adapt to your likes.
*To speed this up you could try going into the settings of the news and click on things you like (English news that is)
Sorry, wasn't much else
