Apparently I am on the latest version and am stuck in my wifes profile. I'm getting the device incompatibility message when I start the app. I have just sent the bug report from the app. I'm using a TF300.

Edit: I uninstalled the app in the stuck profile and reinstalled it from the play store, which fixed the issue. Maybe you should look into creating a market link on each profile for the app.

unethical dev 2

Apparently, my previous posts in which I discussed the error messages generated by this app (SwitchMe) have been deleted.

This is another example of thread manipulation and the business ethics of this developer.

Here is the summary of my previous deleted posts:

I tried this app back in September. On October 2nd, the app got deactivated with the message "outdated app" get the latest one. Before I had the chance to do so, I rebooted the tablet (stock rooted ROM) and this app kept crashing rendering the tablet unusable - I had to reformat from scratch.

On November 2, the updated app as per developer's suggestions, who told the community to have fixed the errors, crashed again with the error that the firmware is not compatible. I am running a TF700 and I did not update any firmware before this app crashed.

This developer plants time bombs in the app forcing updates on the users (if you turn the date back, app runs again, it downloads the upgrade in the background, then crashes saying it is expired). I don't want to update before I test an application to prevent “errors” in the app.

Again, the developer told the community here that the errors were fixed.

This app is designed to become outdated every month on the 2nd. At which point it will stop working and the user is either left hanging on a non-admin account or, in the best case, cannot launch the app.

Deleting my posts is not ethical, either. Forcing updates or else the app crashes is at least questionable. Let's see what google has to say about it when I'll ask for a refund.

Hi,

That is what i am looking for, it looks risky but i will give it a try to see :D
[Android Apps and Games] louiscar:
What are the issues with SuperSu?
[Android Apps and Games] esoxx:
I'm in the same situation. I don't know anything about time bombs in the app or anything like that, but after setting up an admin account on my profile, I created a profile for my wife. She used the tablet (tf700 running stock JB) for a couple of days, and when I attempted to switch profiles the app said there were no profiles created. After a reboot, it came up with the "app incompatibe with this rom" message. The Play store says this is the latest version of SwitchMe. Is there any way to get my original profile back?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I didn't delete your post, a moderator did. Guess why? You're crazy posting like that! You think we have the same thing happen twice on purpose? Just so I can wake up on a bank holiday Saturday and enjoy some flamage? Its a bug, it happens, its been fixed. Want a refund? You don't have to go to google I'll give you one myself.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Works fine for me... are you certain yoyure on the latest market version?
[Android Apps and Games] esoxx:
I uninstalled, then reinstalled from the store, and all is good.
[Android Apps and Games] Stu|:
Well that's what my edit says... You should consider adding a market link on the other profiles so that they get updates from Google play. Otherwise it doesn't tell you that the version installed is not up to date. I fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling from the market on the profile that I was stuck on.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
You can use the star icon to go to the store page. But hopefully this won't happen again... I've now checked the code personally so hopefully its finally fixed.

Just so you know this isn't one of my apps, I just run the company. Sometimes my colleagues are... not 100% reliable.

So again, sorry for the inconvenience.
[Android Apps and Games] Stu|:
going to the store page wasn't any help in my case. When i looked at the store page for the app it didn't mention that there was an update available because the app in that profile had not been installed from the play store. It had been loaded by the app when it created the profile.

As I suggested, when you do the initial profile creation and you install the app on that profile, it would be prudent to add the market link at the same time so that it does inform you that there is an update regardless of the profile you are in.

This would also mean that you don't have these sorts of issues where people don't read the thread.

Just a suggestion.

@louiscar Super Su doesn't work with this app, I tried it a few months back and had to delete the app via adb before i could login and then stick superuser back on.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
The link wont help because the fact that we have uploaded an update doesn't mean its available on the store in your country. Also, this whole thing was an error and should not have happened in the first place.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
There are some issues. But it should work in general. These are things that we cant help, like timeouts and permission flags not sticking. It does say "not recommended".
[Android Apps and Games] Stu|:
Lol, the link will definately help because if it happens again and there is a market link and you release an update then the play store will tell you when you load the page or even by its usual notification if it is available in your country (which it is for me) but it didn't tell me that the app version that was installed was out of date purely because there was no market link!

It's obvious and a very simple thing to add for the effort that you may save in future. Are you telling us that it's impossible for this or another error to happen again?
[Android Apps and Games] lightsout:
Am I crazy or was this app $2 yesterday and now its $5? I bought it but got a quick refund because of some issues with my phone. Went to buy it again and the price had jumped. Was $2 just a sale price?

Cannot dup profile

When duplicating profile (View attachment 1455387pic. 1 & View attachment 1455388pic. 2) I get an error message (View attachment 1455389pic. 3)

Creating new profile is Ok.

:crying: What do I do wrong?

I have an idea: at 1st to create new profile; then to copy some files to the just created profile (probably with renaming if needed)

Advise please what files should I copy from the original profile to just created one in order to get it working?
[Android Apps and Games] francarl:
Hi,

I've problem with Rikomagic Mk802 shipping android 4.0.4

Installation and profile creation are fine, the problem is that I can't switch to new profile because of a well known Mk802 system bug, the lack of shutdown and reboot code.

Is there a way to start os with the new created profile, without loading main profile first? Only for first boot, then I think I can use fast switching.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] mcbyte_it:
i don't know, the price of this app keep jumping very frequently (check price change here: http://www.appbrain.com/app/fahrbot.apps.switchme.key), I bought it for $1 sometime ago.

Hey guys! How to clone the profile? I have an error (see below)

What is the minimum requied memory?

Any tips and tricks?

View attachment 1460009 View attachment 1460002
[Android Apps and Games] Stu|:
When you clone a profile you need to have at least the same amount of space free that the profile you are cloning is using, as it copies everything in the profile.

If it's the current profile you might even need more. I honestly can't think of a reason to clone profiles vs creating clean ones though.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yes we calculate the necessary memory using the following logic:

Dalvik cache size + 10%

For a new profile on an average device this is between 80 and 120 mb.

Cloning is useful if you already have a lot of apps and only want to get rid of some of them. Also its useful for sandboxing (development, theming, etc).
[Android Apps and Games] Stu|:
So, before cloning a profile, clear dalvik cache and then clone. Obviously this recreates the dalvik cache, but may reduce its size to less than it was before you cleared it.

removing switchme?

I use this app on my wife's nexus 7 to keep my profile separate from hers...As it turns out, her profile has become the dominant one (she has more time to play with it than I do!)

So, in preparation for Android 4.2, I'd like to remove switchme, and leave her profile as the only profile...What are my options for doing that?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Simple - give her profile admin permissions, switch to it and then delete your own profile.
[Android Apps and Games] kgoroway:
Excellent. Thank you. Does deleting my profile do "the right thing" and free up all of the associated files/disk space associated with that profile? Once that's done, it's just a matter of uninstalling switchme, I guess.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yes exactly.
[Android Apps and Games] Arabezar:
Thank you guy. I forgot it (about used and remainig memory;))

The reason for copying is just to have all the apps already installed... and then install more... )))

Unfortunately, I coudn't create a new profile due to an HTC Sense crash error causing my phone to be like a brick - no shell, no desktop, no response at all. ((( I have no idea why... So only cloning is my way now... )))

Thanks again. I'll try now.

====

UPD: No way! ((( Tried to wipe dalvik cache from Titanium Backup, but it cleans only for removed apps... Then tried to wipe from Recovery, but the size of dalvik cache restored after system restart. Will try to remove some apps in order to decrease the total profile size...
[Android Apps and Games] Stu|:
That's how the dalvik cache works, so titanium is doing the correct thing by only wiping it for apps that are no longer in the system.

You could always do a backup in titanium and then create a new profile and switch, then restore the backup.

Edit: apparently my head missed that whole section about not being able to create new profiles! So ignore that suggestion.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
This app is really not designed for old/ cheap/ low memory devices. It is primarily useful for modern tablets.
[Android Apps and Games] alexkno:
and there it works great!!!

nice to see that google found your app nice and includes a 'similar' functionality now on JB 4.2
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Actually ages ago i approached a bunch of rom cookers to build sm into their frameworks, but noone had the foresight. A few did preload the app, but if the framework was modified we could have made it just like google will.

Im looking forward to besting their version once its out :)
[Android Apps and Games] Arabezar:
In this case you'd better point Play.Google not to approve HTC Desire S as a compatible device... (((
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yeah sure except its perfectly compatible... all you need is that grey stuff between your ears.
[Android Apps and Games] Arabezar:
))) Cool support!

... This app is really not designed for old/ cheap/ low memory devices...

... its perfectly compatible...

No comments. )))

Anyway thank you for the app and your time.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Mate... its perfectly compatible because it works perfectly. The fact that you are low on memory is not the apps problem. God how people like you rub me the wrong way.
[Android Apps and Games] maigre:
I have a Nexus 7 that had two profiles. I didn't need one of them and deleted it. So now I have one left and it's the only one I need so there's not much need for SwitchMe anymore. How do I preserve the contents of this remaining profile so that I can uninstall SwitchMe? I'd just delete the profile, but I'm afraid that'll leave me with something close to a stock installation.

edit: I figured it out in the interface. I’d tell you what I did, but now that I have no profiles, I don't have access to repeat my steps. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
All you need is to wipe all profiles and uninstall.
[Android Apps and Games] trunzoc:
I know I'm a latecomer, but just wanted to say thanks!

My 4yo spends a lot of time using my Xoom (Wingray). I finally got fed up with the homescreens being complete chaos and needed a solution. No Xoom ROMs (that I know of) have the google 4.2 profiles worked into them yet, so I went ahead and gave your app a try.

I have to say I am very impressed. I just installed it last night after the kid went to sleep, so not a lot of time to play with it yet, but it was very easy to clone the existing profile, then clean both out. Also awesome that I can finally install stuff like Paypal, Dropbox, etc. that I always avoided on the Xoom for fear of what exploring 4yos would do to them.

I do have a few questions, and I'm sorry if they've already been answered.

1) I (obviously) created a nandroid before install, but going forward, will a new nandroid backupup the xoom exactly how it is, so that a restore will include the SwitchMe profiles? Or does something else need to be done to ensure that the SwitchMe profiles are backup correctly?

2) Lastly, I am a habitual ROM Flasher. Is there any difference installing a new ROM with SwitchMe compared to without? Or still just a matter of flashing the ROM in recovery?

3) The experimental "WuickSwitch" option... Does that do away with the need to reboot every time a different profile is switched? Have you gotten any feedback about how it works with the Xoom?

Again, sorry if these questions have already been asked.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
1 - only nandroids that include the sd card data will have profiles. They are stored on the internal memory. To remove profiles you can either delete them manually or wipe them through the app.

2 - as the help explains at length, you can only use it within the same base rom and its updates (so only cm9, only cm10, only stock ics, only stock jb).

3 - It wont make your device explode, but it may affect things like language and orientation settings.
[Android Apps and Games] trunzoc:
Thanks for the response.

I tried out the QuickSwitch, but didn't seem to do anything different on my device, so turned it back off.

Definitely worth the $3 for the password protection if nothing else.

Thanks again for developing sucha great app.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
You really should pay more attention to the UI. Fast switch only begins working once you have switched between any two profiles twice. Its all to do with building caches, which reduces switch times down to 10 seconds or so.
[Android Apps and Games] trunzoc:
OK. I'll turn it back on and let it rip. Not sure how I'll get it down to 10 seconds when it reboots every time I switch though.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Its not an actual reboot, it just uses the boot logo for a splash screen. Roms that cook the app into them dont need it at all, just like 4.2.

Sharing apps across profiles?

I apologize in advance, I'm new to android so I might have some fundamental misconceptions to be corrected.

I'm setting up a tablet for my family to share. It's a surprise so I can't experiment with it as much as a normally would to answer these questions. I got the app installed and the key installed as well (I had to reboot the tablet to get SwitchMe to recognize the key, is that normal?).

In any case, I am wondering how sharing app installations works with SwitchMe. E.g. if I buy a game and install it how can I allow all profiles to play the game? Or does it need to be installed for all profiles separately? If an app is installed on multiple profiles will the application binary be duplicated or just the application user data?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
The binaries of any app outside /system will need to me installed manually again (unless you c lone your primary profile). Each gamer can have a separate account.
[Android Apps and Games] serusaert:
Error: You have not granted superuser permissions to the application

Hi,

This is a great concept and i really want it to work, but I am getting the SU permissions error right out of the box from SwitchMe.

I am:

Nexus 7

Fresh factory reset of nexus 7 (with update to 4.2.1)

Unlocked, Rooted (using WUGS toolkit for Nexus 7)

SwitchMe key purchased

SuperSu is installed on /system (by WUGS during the rooting process)

I know you mention that SuperSu is sometimes problematic, but, from what I can tell, SuperSu is the only superuser app that is recommended for 4.2 at this point. It was installed by WUGS during unlocking/rooting and it is my understanding that Superuser app is not recommended for 4.2 right now. That's a bit of a conflict there, especially given that SuperSU is installed during the unlock/root process...

What should I do?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Mate its because you missed the superuser permissions dialog. Uninstall, reboot, install, grant permissions. This wont affect existing profiles. When switching to a new profile, be sure to unlock immediately after switching or the dialog will time out again. This is basic superuser knowledge.

Also, please do not write pms to me, i do not respond to them unless they are from people in my friends list. This is something a lot of developers do because it defeats the point of a forum, where users can help each-other and information is searchable.
[Android Apps and Games] serusaert:
OK, sorry for the PM, I am a bit new here, I'm not up to speed on the etiquette yet.

I did the uninstall/reboot/re-install and the same thing happened. Maybe this is a problem with SuperSU? Yet SuperSU does work with other apps, tho I've only granted to BusyBox so far.

To be clear, what I am seeing after running SwitchMe for the very first time (no profiles created) is:

"Working... Please wait while the operation completes...".

This message flickers a couple of times (probably because it is being repeated) and then it is replaced by

"Error: You have not granted superuser permissions to the application!".

There are no other dialogs that pop up, no request from SuperSU to grant permissions. Is there anything I can report here that will help figure out what the issue is? Perhaps my issue is with SuperSU?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Stu|:
I got this same problem with supersu. I had use superuser.
[Android Apps and Games] serusaert:
And that's the dilemma I tried to describe in my PM to the developer of SwitchMe: Superuser app is not working on 4.2 yet. I tried it and had to uninstall it and revert back to SuperSU. There are some posts about it, all recommending SuperSU for 4.2.

So, in lieu of a viable non-SuperSU superuser app, it would seem that SwitchMe is currently not workable for those of us on 4.2, or am I missing something?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I'll look into it, but the fact is supersu sucks. It needs a lot of work.

Associating Additional Accounts with different Gmail Accounts?

This may be a dumb question but I've had trouble finding this information...will this app allow two different users based on two different gmail accounts or is this just two different user spaces but the phone is still registered to the same gmail account?

Let me try to explain:

Let's say that I've registered a phone (before installing switchme) with aaa@gmail.com - so all my apps etc are tied to aaa@gmail.com. If I create a second account with switchme, will it allow me to register that second account to bbb@gmail.com so that it has nothing to do with aaa@gmail.com? Like, would aaa@gmail.com exist in any way while signed into the second account?

So if that's the case, if aaa@gmail.com downloads and installs switchme, creates the second account and associates that with bbb@gmail.com, then will bbb@gmail.com need to download switchme as well so it is visible to bbb? Because if aaa and bbb are completely separate the how would switchme be visible to bbb?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Its for different gmail accounts (if that's what you want). But it can be used without Google accounts as well.

Don't concern yourself with the how, just enjoy it.
[Android Apps and Games] TigerDNA:
I have read most of this thread and haven't seen this brought up, sorry if it has been answered. I installed on my Note2 (N7100) running Omega 7.3 ROM with Redpill Kernel.

1) Each time I switch profiles, I get the "Android is Upgrading Starting Apps" box. Is this normal. I have switched between profiles more than 5 times each and still happens.

2) What about SMS/calls? Is there a way to make profile A receive SMS or calls from certain numbers and disallow profile B to receive from those numbers?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
The basic principle of this app is that we provide you with clean or cloned profiles, inside which you can use whatever apps you like to control the behavior for a user. Ie, if you want to block user a from reading messages that user b receives, install a call blocker and an app privatizer or restrict user b's access to the messaging app.

Re "android is upgrading" - this is probably because your rom in one of the profiles is set to automatically clear cache. Disable this and you wnt have to deal with it.
[Android Apps and Games] TigerDNA:
Awesome. I wasn't sure if there was a way to use GV poor something.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:

[Android Apps and Games] Sascha999999999:
I have installed SwitchMe on Android 4.04 but after a switch (I changed SDCard before) SwichMe switched to the guest but displays the main-profile as active. I can't switch back any more. If I switch to the active profile, that SwitchMe displayed as not active, the device restarts and nothing changed. It I go to the main-profile, I want realy switch to, i have only the button "log out". What can I do? This is realy bad.

[Android Apps and Games] zim2323:
So, has anybody tried this on the Note 2? I'd like to create a profile for my son so that he can play some games on it and not mess up my stuff.

If it will work,

1) If I do that for my son, as a 'non-admin', does that prevent him from installing/uninstalling applications? If so, which profile do I use to give absolutely the least amount of access.

2) Can I prevent users from getting into certain areas? I want to only give him rights to what I put on the screen.

3) Is there a way to install or "configure" as admin to add those things that I do what him to use without giving rights, per #2.

4) Does the profile still answer to phone and txt?

Ultimately his account will be setup with no account, etc. It's purely just a profile with one page devoted to the games he plays. I would still like to be able to receive phone calls.

and one more

5) TitaniumBackup. Do you know if it can backup that other profile? I see that there's an option for 'Active data profile'. Is that what I would use?

Sorry with all the questions. I'm been searching and reading through this forum thread for about 2 hours and those are the questions I couldn't find answers to. I'm considering purchasing this product if it works the way I need it to.

Thanks!
