Thanks, if you like it, please rate it on the Play Store :)

There is no conjunction atm. Googles code is a long, long way from anything usable. As soon as it is, we will be there to improve it ;)

cleaning 2nd profile

Hello ftgg99 or anyone else, quick question, testing the free app since yesterday and this is frigging amazing, just what I needed since I bought this for my wife (yeah right) and she is not too tech savvy, I just wanted to setup a simple screen for her with just the apps she needs and nothing more.

1. So my question, if I clone my setup then change to her name then login with her profile can I just uninstall apps/widgets without it affecting the apps/widgets on my setup (I am sure this is what your app does just need confirmation before I start deleting away...lol)

2. is it possible to set it that after powering on for the first time (after power off) that the profile chooser (ICONS not the lines where you have to type the username) comes first like in windows? I thought I had this then I played around with settings and can't seem to get it back.

3. when entering the userid it seems to be case sensitive so typing andrew does not let me login unless I capatilize the first letter.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hi. To answer your questions:

1 yes, though if you remove system apps, they will also be removed from other profiles

2 have a look in switch screen settings, there are a number of options that speak for themselves

3 yes... that is the way it will stay
[Android Apps and Games] iggy:
1. Excellent, works great

2. ty, figured it out

3. ty, figured out how to get just the icons to unlock which bypasses this screen so I am good.

so far only issue is the priority of your app showing up, so I actually see the screen starting to load my widgets and then the lock screen then your lock screen showing 10-15 secs after.

Crud, sorry forgot to add, excellent App, just what I was looking for.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I'm afraid the only way to deal with that is to use both the android lock screen and our switch screen - this is a problem we share with all other lock screen replacements.

Btw, if you enjoy the app, please review it on the play store :)
[Android Apps and Games] iggy:
More than happy to review SwitchMe....done.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Thank you, enjoy!

JB and some observations

Lo there

Just booted my Xoom (32GB WiFi) to 4.1.1 Jellybean and all is well.

Some observations - NON cloned profiles do not exhibit the odd secure certificate store problem I had before under HC & ICS (basically if the tablet powered down under a user profile, I had to switch to recharge, power up, switch to "initial" profile, then power off and power on to get my certs working) - so that's good. Not yet tried a cloned profile though.

The only thing I now can't find (unless it was removed?) is the little pop up screen that appeared when you clicked the app? (the menu let you open the app, or directly switch users). That was more user friendly for my family, versus them seeing the main screen. If it's not been removed, how to get it back?

Cheers :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
That popup bit is in the widget ;)
[Android Apps and Games] B.Maximenko:
I sent you an email a few days ago and haven't got your reply. So I'll post it here in hope of positive reply.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
The app is not compatible with your device. Why would you buy the key?
[Android Apps and Games] physicsguymatt:
Setting up now. I'm cloning my profile for my kids, then will delete all the stuff they don't need in their profile.

How long should it take to build a clone? It's been going on for over 5 minutes now. Is it normal to take this long to clone my profile?

(rooted tf201)

UPDATE: finally done. It was after I tapped the notification area on lower right. Not sure if it was hung up waiting for me or good timing. So far so good. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] michael_ch:
I upgraded my CyanogenMod on HP Touchpad yesterday, but after the reboot, I had an empty profile screen from which I was not able to continue. The same problem seems to be mentioned here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1709861

Solution:

In order to fix the problem, I connected via ADB and killed the switchme process.

Immediately after that, I was asked to give superuser permission for Switchme. After I confirmed this, the problem was solved.

So I guess that SwitchMe somehow looses the sudo permission during ROM upgrades...
[Android Apps and Games] physicsguymatt:
Profiles are created and working, however if I try to manage the screens in GO Launcher HD (by pressing the + in the upper right) it gets all buggy and I have to fc the launcher and restart. Is the app known to conflict with GO Launcher?
[Android Apps and Games] emmedieci:
files in common

The application works very well. I created two accounts. but the files in the sdcard and extsdcard remained in common and both users can see them. how to solve the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I think i already told you via email - YOU ARE WARNED ABOUT THIS IN THE HELP. The solution is to disable the switch screen before updates.

I dont see how - unless it is somehow installed in SD.
[Android Apps and Games] Heart1010:
Sh*t... I think I have that same problem.... my wife switched to her profile and I think she denied the root access question. So do I have any chance I can solve that "problem". I can't get in now :eek::crying:

update: oh saw that thread above mine... I try to kill the process via adb.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
You can simply uninstall it via the Play store. Of search the thread in my sig for "unswitchme".
[Android Apps and Games] Heart1010:
Ok, can login now again ;)

Kill only the switchme process didn't help here because after killing the PID I saw immid. the "access denied for switchme" tooltip. So I removed the switchme apk in /data/app folder via adb shell, did an adb reboot and after the reboot started the superuser app and deleted that switchme deny entry. After that installed switchme again in play store and everyting is working again.

Lesson... don't give the wife access to the tablet (especially not when done a rom upgrade) ;)

Thanks ftgg99 for writing back so fast (and that on sunday!), thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] michael_ch:
Hey cool down man! :) I was not complaining but rather sharing my solution for those who might overlook your hint in the help - or performing an upgrade without thinking about it...
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
The proper solutions are already available in this thread. Search is your friend.
[Android Apps and Games] B.Maximenko:
ORLY?

I had to download it with another phone (sgs2) and share apk from it to have it installed. It works like it should so why market doesn't allow me to install it directly?

Please consider overhaul of your compatibility settings for the app in market. It is perfectly compatible with Galaxy Note running cm9 and cm10.

I don't want to update it using other phone every time.

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hmm done. If anyone has a moment, please try it on the stock tab and let me know if it works. I remember removing it from the compatible list ages ago because it didnt work for anyone... probably just CM9.
[Android Apps and Games] ptruman:
It is indeed, cheers muchly :)

Only observation now under JB is that the Widget is a 2x2 JB icon - a 1x1 option would let it sit flush with the others nicely. Feature request for when you have time, as it's hardly a priority :)
[Android Apps and Games] B.Maximenko:
Checked compatibility for me -- OK now. Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
So it works fine on stock (which build please) n7000?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
This is a real problem that google has to solve. I guess since most rooted users will be on some sort of ICS rom, that doesnt matter any more?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hi guys. Heres an update with some critical fixes:

1.5.3.13

Added full compatibility for Galaxy Note

Fixed switch screen issue on OTA updates and wipes

Reworked wipe profile behavior
[Android Apps and Games] ptruman:
Google?

Not sure how the widget framework is to control, but Titanium Backups widget is 1x1, so they can be defaulted. SwitchMe defaults to 2x2.
[Android Apps and Games] B.Maximenko:
I've set it up on my girlfriend's Note running ParanoidAndroid based on CM9. Didn't set it up on my PA CM10 yet but interface works, I've created a Main profile for the beginning.

Can't confirm official ROM but it is identical to one on Galaxy S2. If it works there, it works here.
[Android Apps and Games] ioneng:
On my galaxy note, everything runs smoothly in the new profile. But when I tried to install a few apps, google play tells me that there is insufficient storage space. Here is the profile details. How should I interpret this information?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Your screenshot is empty...
[Android Apps and Games] emmedieci:
PLEASE help me. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] zulusik:
This is by design and can't be changed. Imagine you have a usb stick in your windows pc - can you make some files on it invisible for one of the profiles?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
We actually know of a way to do this - but it would mean HUGE profiles and admins would have to set quotas.

Its something to think about.
[Android Apps and Games] tom_yellowblue:
I think it would come in handy. Then I could put R-rated movies in my profile and not have to worry about the kids seeing them.

To me they don't even have to be invisible from other profiles (although that would be a bonus), they just need to be locked so they can't be accessed.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hmm you can already do this with nomedia and probably a bunch of other ways. There must be apps out there...
[Android Apps and Games] emmedieci:
Please help me ! Thanks

Phanton Google Voice Account

I tried using SwitchMe until I realized that having two different Google accounts on the separate profiles didn't work so well (the original profile, even if the second didn't back up data with Google, wasn't able to download apps from the market).

Since then I deleted my wife's profile and uninstalled the app but now my Galaxy Note 10.1 somehow receives text messages from both of our Google Voice accounts. I've tried uninstalling Voice and reinstalling but somehow it still receives her messages unless Voice is currently uninstalled. I looked in /data/data to try finding configuration files but couldn't find anything relevant.

Any thoughts/suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] Stu|:
Do you still have both Google accounts set up in the one profile?
[Android Apps and Games] sonofdays:
It's just my Google and facebook account on here.

I unchecked the Automatic Restore setting in Settings -> Back Up and Reset so when I uninstall then reinstall it shouldn't be restoring any previous settings. I also installed Voice, deleted its folder in /data/data which made it stop working, uninstalled Voice, reinstalled and it's still receiving texts for both accounts.

When I click on the notification that she received a text message, nothing I do affects her account (add/remove star, delete, respond). It shows that the text she received was sent to me (it shows up in the inbox on my tablet, not the web interface) and if I reply it's my account replying to whomever. I just checked her Voice account settings and mine on the web interface to make sure some weird setting wasn't causing this but everything is set as it should be...*shrug*

If nobody can figure out what's going on and suggest a solution I'll probably end up doing a Factory Data Reset though somehow I don't trust that would fix the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
This works absolutely fine for me.

Are you using fast switch?

Also, why would you factory reset? That seems insanely dramatic...
[Android Apps and Games] sonofdays:
You have two profiles set up with separate Google accounts? And you're able to download apps from the market with both profiles? Having my profile set up, I installed SwitchMe and cloned my profile to another, then removed my account from the second profile and set up her accounts so that GMail and Voice both had her junk instead of mine. Her market worked but mine did not.

And now that I've removed SwitchMe and her accounts, I receiver her text messages as if they were sent to me. I'm not willing to just accept this behavior so if a solution can't be found to either make it all work or for me to not receive her texts I'll try a factory reset. It wouldn't require that much effort to set everything up the way it is, especially with the Titanium Backup I did before I tried ANY of this, and it may be worth it if it fixes the problem.

Also...I don't know what fast switch is. When I switched profiles it restarted my tablet and came up with her profile instead of mine.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yes, fine for me, its a well tested functionality. Perhaps theres some sort of cache issue. Why dont you try clearing the cache instead of - whoa there wiping anything.

Also, Send LOGS WITH A DESCRIPTION thought the app - that is the only real way to get help.
[Android Apps and Games] sonofdays:
I created a fresh profile instead of cloning it and was hopeful because I sent one text message that didn't get sent to me, but then the second text did get delivered to me. As requested, I sent feedback through the app.

I guess I did that prematurely as I hadn't tried wiping the cache first. I'll edit this if that changes anything.

Update: Wiping cache didn't do anything...factory reset...I'll let you know how it goes once I get everything set up again. I'm the kind of guy that doesn't mind reinstalling Windows two or three times a year just to have a fresh start by the way.

Update 2: Fresh install of everything...seems to be working. I did not clone my profile this time.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Interesting. I'll have a look today.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Well, i had a look couldnt work out what was going on, works fine for me both cloned and not. There might be some extra data being saved somewhere, but i cant see it...
[Android Apps and Games] iggy:
Hi ftgg99, I am receiving the notification for jelly bean update for my laptop, quick question, if I do the update on one profile, is it only for that profile or the entire device, I have an Asus TF300 transformer.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
You should either disable the switch screen before updating, or make sure you're using a root keeper. Better both.
[Android Apps and Games] Emaaans:
I love this app! Seriously! Very good work!

Just a question when you talk about a gaming overclocking profile you mean that I can use different kernel with different profile?

Inviato dal mio GT-N7000 con Tapatalk 2
[Android Apps and Games] Bolini900:
Im having a issue when trying to switch to the secondary profile. First, I created a primary profile with admin rights.. And then another one for testing. But when I try to switch the screen turns black and tablet freezes. Have to hold the power button to force reboot.

Im on a custom rom (BAMF 2.3) but other than that its a clean install.

Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
No, i mean you can set different clock speeds in each profile.

Link to rom please. But generally it would be because theres symlinks to the /data partition in the rom somewhere.
[Android Apps and Games] Bolini900:
Got the ROM from http://www.teambamf.net

Altough I changed to another ROM (SlimBean) last night and your app works perfectly now...

Really good work, will send you a donation later tonight!
[Android Apps and Games] Technical:
Fantastic!

Works perfectly on Galaxy Nexus I9250 (maguro) and allows using different profiles. I have one with very few apps installed to get the best from battery time.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Thanks guys! No need for donations - just leave a review on the Play Store if you enjoy the app :)
[Android Apps and Games] Bolini900:
If you could add Pattern unlock as a alternative to password security, it would be perfect. Any plans on doing so? Im to lazy to write a password every single time I log on :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yes, it is the next big feature but will only be available to paying customers. Free version users will get get some goodies as well. ETA is late september.

Running two Whatsapp on the same phone?

Hi there,

Thank you for the great work on SwitchMe!

I am trying to decide between the purchase of an iPhone and an Android. One of the main purchasing decisions that I would base off is that I just want to be able to run two instances of Whatsapp on the same phone. I guess that SwitchMe would allow me to install the 2 Whatsapp profiles on the same phone. But would the 2 instances work?

Refer to the Whatsapp FAQ below. Sorry I can't post the full URL as I'm new:

www [dot] whatsapp [dot] com/faq/en/general/21009863

They mention that "WhatsApp can only be verified with one number, on one device". So if I install the two Whatsapp instances on separate SwitchMe user profiles, would that work? I realize that this is an application logic or behavior, but I don't have a smartphone to test with, so would appreciate if someone could answer it for me. Ideally, it should work on a Samsung Galaxy S2/3, which is the phone that I'll be getting.

If it really works, I would purchase SwitchMe and an Android of course! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Stu|:
I think you won't be able to run 2 different whatsapp profiles. You could probably run the same whatsapp profile on both user accounts.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Whoa there... why not? There's absolutely no reason, as long as he logs in with different progpfiles.
[Android Apps and Games] Stu|:
Because you log in using your phone number
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Ah i see.
[Android Apps and Games] defianty:
How about if I login using different SIM cards on different user profiles or much easier, using a dual Sim adapter like MagicSIM? Thus, on user profile 1, SIM 1 will be active, while on user profile 2, SIM 2 will be active. Would Whatsapp allow the running of 2 numbers on the same phone? Does it check anything like IMEI or some phone ID and disallow this?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I have no idea.
[Android Apps and Games] Stu|:
It does check the phone id as part of the activation but I have no idea if it would let you use the same phone on two accounts while using different sims.

But I can't think of a reason why they would disallow it.
[Android Apps and Games] defianty:
Hmm, can I get someone to check this for me for a small fee? (ftgg99, Stu| or anyone?)
[Android Apps and Games] blaine07:
Any tried this on BAMF Paradigm(4.1.1) on Gnex?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
It will work fine.

Hi

very helpful app for a family with only one tablet, works almost 100% OK for us.

everytime i switch profile a android OS update is done, and after a few seconds im loged out again, after second logon it's OK

Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5110 4.0.4 XXBLH4
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
You mean theres a moment when you can see the desktop before the switch screen appears?
[Android Apps and Games] rogstro:
Yes, it's OK if it supposed to be that way, guess i'll just have to wait a moment?

but how about the android OS update thats runing every boot?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Its not an update... its scanning for data changes. Are you using fast switch?
[Android Apps and Games] rogstro:
have tried with and without fast switch, same behavior

anyway, it's a very handy app :)

One question, may have been asked earlier, how to best perform update to JB on the device?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
You will have to temporarily uninstall the app, since you will lose root when the ota arrives. Just I stall it again when you're rooted and you will have access to your profiles as before (unless you wipe them).
[Android Apps and Games] short/y:
I've left my phone on one profile for a LONG time (like, long enough that I can't recall when I was last on the other profile) and yesterday I tried to switch. I got a message that my ROM isn't compatible. I don't believe I've upgraded the ROM (it's CM9) but that doesn't really matter. My question is whether I can discover precisely what is causing the app to complain? And, if all else fails, whether I could possibly recover manually (like maybe manually restore the other profile from recovery).

Again, I'm not complaining about the app nor am I calling it a bug. It's entirely my responsibility for not having paid attention to things over the past few months. I'm just wondering what I might be able to do to save the state of the current profile and recover the other one. I know you store the profiles in /data/.profiles and I'm comfortable working with ADB in both normal mode and in recovery mode. If you'd prefer to work this in email or via PM, I'm glad to do that, too.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Youve probably flashed some mod or something. Fact is, these things dont just happen by themselves. Lets start by sending some logs with a detailed description through the app.
[Android Apps and Games] short/y:
I sent the emai and logs that the app gathered and prepared. Let me know if you don't get it or need more info. And thanks for any help you may be able to provide.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
OK I'll have a look.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I didn't get any logs at all yesterday...
[Android Apps and Games] short/y:
Just recreated and resent and it looks like it went through this time.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Right ill have a look monday.
[Android Apps and Games] short/y:
Any news on the log I sent?

Incredible app, installed it on my SGS2 and it works great! Now I can go out and buy myself a tablet!

I'd just add a request, if possible could you please add a widget for fast profile changes?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
A - there is no stock 4.0.3, youre talking about a hybrid 401-3 AOSP

B - works fine on our nexus s

C - are you sure youre not just cloning the profile?

D - if you are, send logs with a description via "Write to us" in the app
[Android Apps and Games] TeeJayEss:
Heart attack moment!!!!!! Installed on my SGS2, created a blank guest profile and switched to it. Perfect!

On running the SwitchMe app again to switch back, I got a "your device is not compatible with this application"... eeeeeeek! Brown-trouser time.

Fortunately after a full restart of the phone, it worked the second time. Phew.

Great app - will install on my Transformer Prime which is being delivered today!
[Android Apps and Games] DarkhShadow:
A) Nexus S has OTA Android 4.0.3

C) no I created a new one and when I check app after switch it still says main one I set up is active

D) will have to do later if this uses logcat as I can't get it to work on my current kernel

Sent from my ice cream powered Nexus S
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Its probably because of apps to sd or some other implementation of apps on the sd card.

Really? We never got ours... maybe because of this?

That is strange. Everythings fine on our device, and the kernel has nothing to do with its functionality!
