[APP][4.2] Multiple users feature enabler

SferaDev · Mar 12, 2013

Hey!

We have heard a lot about Google's multiple user feature, and we were so excited about it in 4.2. But we felt disappointed when Google limited the use of the future to Tablets. So here is my app!
You'll be able top enable the feature on any 4.2 mobile running Aosp, cm10.1 or Aokp!

Play store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.sferadev.multipleuser

Github: https://github.com/SferaDev/4.2MultiuserEnabler

Disclaimer: Please use the app in your own risk! No thermonuclear war supported! Remember the feature it's not officially supported by Google for phones (I dunno why) so I'll help you with any problem but don't expect miracles. Also I'll continue understanding how the feature changes between tablets and phones to give an excellent work. Also I refer to Third Party App called User management, Please for bugs refer to the creator.

See you!

Hi, after every reboot I lost all my users and I have to reactivate them through your app. Moreover I cant switch between them in the lockscreen.
Nexus 4 with 4.2.2 rooted ofc.

Any ideas?

Nice app, definitely makes it easier to enable multi-user support for people who are wary of messing around with system files.

Just thought I'd add that my app, AppShare, is a nice alternative to multi-user app share and has both phone and tablet optimised layouts.

I discovered that the Multiple User Enabler works best, before any gApps are installed. Would you mind providing a direct download link for the APK so this can be achieved more easily? Thanks in advance.

Adding fw.max_users to build.prop

Hello,

I just wanted to report that I had to add the fw.max_users variable to the build.prop file of my tablet in order to be able to reboot without seeing my other account created disappear.

(also I had to rename Provision.apk because 1st run of created user

You may download build.prop editor app to modify your build.prop (click add button).

Thanks,

awesome app!!!
Is possible to add a switch profile based on lockscreen pattern??

I try to explain better:
My device is shared. I already set-up multi-user profiles for each of us:

1-Family mode
2-My mode

example: "pattern1" triggers My mode while entering "pattern2" triggers Family mode

So I will have certain apps automatically blocked when in family mode (hides some applications, sms, calls, and/or maybe starts a blacklist?)
but unlocked in My mode

Is there a way to do this? or is there an app/hack that can closely do some of it?

thank you

Hi there,

I have a rooted galaxy i9500 S4 (4.2.2) and unfortunately your app doesn't work. I clicked "Enable the Feature" and the created a new account in User Management app but it does not show the new account created! I also can't find the user management in the phone setting... any idea how to overcome this?

Thanks.
