Not working because superuser

Hello,

I have a problem, hopely someone can help me. I tried several things, but nothing helped.

I have an Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 and i want to install Switch user, but when i start te program it say's You have not granted superuser permissions to the application! I tried it, after installing superuser from the android store, but even then it doesn't work.

I hope i forgot somting stupid, but i don't know it anymore.

Please help.

Rgds,

Do you plan on making it so the profiles can be different ROMs?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
No we don't plan that. This AP has noting tyo do with roms. Look at bootmanager.
[Android Apps and Games] Holmes108:
Sorry if this was covered, but I can't seem to find the exact question.

I have the app working flawlessly on my stock Galaxy tab 10.1. I see in the OP that CM9 should work. I'm just curious if there's any issues with the frequent updates a beta rom can have.

Once the app is installed and working, can I just flash a newer (non-wipe) version of the rom with no issues? It won't mess anything up with this app will it? Will both "users" be updated?

edit: just to clarify, I'm just talking about going from one version of CM9 to another... not stock to CM9.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] IamSnah:
Had an issue that possibly can be a bug? (you'll understand when you see the description)?

Sent a error report from the app
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
It has been covered before, dont worry, it will be fine.
[Android Apps and Games] IamSnah:
Update on my issue: other apps were missing stuff as well, had to make a nandroid restore..

(not sure how to update the report I sent via the app, so I post here. Still not sure if it is this app that is causing it (as stated in report via app), so I prefer not going into details here in the thread - let me know if after reviewing the log, you think it is related to the app)

Not available in my device's country.

Hello.

Just upgraded to the newest CM9 on my HP Touchpad in the USA. I tried to search for this in the market, but it wasn't coming up. I proceeded to go to the Play Store webpage and look it up that way. It pulled it up in the market, but then told me that the application is not available in my device's country.

Any ideas? Is this a ROM problem?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I will check on monday, but it sounds like those apps were installed outside /system.

Yes, sounds like it. Are you able to find the key?

[Android Apps and Games] suku_patel_22:
Created two profiles and was successfully able too switch.

Can't the switch be instant, like inn windows 7? It seems that phone boots into each profile.

PS: I have sweet quick switch as on.
[Android Apps and Games] fafrehugen:
for me the fast switch is 10 seconds on my galaxy s 2 and 15 on my tab 10.1

remember - the first time you switch between any two profiles, it will not perform "fast switch" function
[Android Apps and Games] suku_patel_22:
My phone is slow then :-D

takes more than a minute...

Does it save the running apps?

It seems to reinitialize my widgets and home screens, start the services...

when i select a custom picture it lets me browse , and i select gallery , when i click on a picture it wont accept it or allow me to use it , do i have to pre crop the image to a cirtian dimention ?
[Android Apps and Games] jus1haz2:
Neat idea but it didn't work for me, the problem is probably the customs roms, blends and cualk, ics and GB.

Hi!

Sounds like a great app, but it's not working for me.

I have a samsung s2 on 4.0.3 ics with a custom rom (Omega) based on the stock one.

I can switch to a new profile, but it won't connect to any network.

I found 2 problems:

1. sometimes I get a "unfortunately com.android.phone has stopped"

2. when I go and try to manually select a network, it suggests to insert a sim (which of course I have in the phone already).

I used the search function but found nothing relevant for "switchme sim" or "switchme com.android.phone"... don't crucify me if the question has been asked before!

Thanks,

Fabrizio

Hi,

Back home with a warning. I managed to lock out my self again :(((

in short:

-flashed a new rom

-set everything up and removed samsung apps

-installed Apex launcher and freezed twlauncher BUT FORGOT TO SET APEX AS SYSTEM APP

-made a new profile BUT SKIPPED THE GOOGLE ACCOUNT STUFF AT STARTUP

-result: no launcher and i couldn't installed through play store on pc because i skipped the google stuff. unswitchme didn't help as the profile with no launcher was the current one.

pushing a launcher through adb wasnt working either. result: start aaaaallll over :(

As you look at any message made by ftgg99 you will see this info:

As you can see in the OP's profile (here) the last post was on 2012-04-09, 06:46 in this thread (search for all posts created by "ftgg99") This date is the last one posted or visited at other Android community forums.

I am a little bit concerned on ftgg99's current situation as he was very, very active while developing, supporting and debugging his app "SwitchMe" within this thread. Hes gone for about 6 days.

Is there a reason his account was "disabled" that we should know about? Any security issues we should know about?

(

I really, really do hope that ftgg99 just won a lottery

and went on a 2-week-vacation on a nice, sunny and warm spot on this planet and is relaxing from all the evil users posting questions already answered 3 times in the thread and not making nandroid backups!)
[Android Apps and Games] Droidphilev:
Hi,

It seems that he's back, thankfully :)
[Android Apps and Games] fbxdadev:
Anyone had anything similar?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Just a heads up - i got banned (again, wohoo for strike 4) - and miraculously i was also on holiday in sunny provence.

Regarding the post - the insert sim again thing is a well known error with the 403 build. Just press back to cancel it.

But probably its something with your rom. This app really does nothing with the radio layer... Could be some startup script or whatever, it impossible to really tell as most devs just copy paste these sorts of improvements. Have a look at the rom page and post the description.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
It should just shrink the picture down... please reboot and try again, it may just be a gallery error or something. If not, ill investigate.
[Android Apps and Games] Droidphilev:
hi,

welcome back!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Thanks, i plan to be meaner that ever. Hell i probably have one of the largest ignore lists on this forum ;)
[Android Apps and Games] fbxdadev:
What are you interested in? I can paste a description of the omega rom (which is here http://omega.indieroms.net/blog/?page_id=238 ), but I suspect that is not exactly what you are looking for, probably something more internal about the booting process or else?

Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
The link is dead...
[Android Apps and Games] fbxdadev:
I managed to solve the problem by deleting some apps (after a titanium backup of course) until I had enough space for cloning my profile (as opposed to create a new vanilla one), then I switched to the new profile and "vanillized" it by removing nearly all apps. Last, i went back to the original profile and reinstall my backup apps.

It's working ok now!

Since it seems a lot of users are going to use this to enhance battery life, I think it may be useful to have an option for sharing sms/mms/call log among profiles.

For the time being, I will try the workaround below :

I found sms/mms/call log are stored in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases, and I believe the unused profile is in /data/.profile/<#>/com.android.providers.telephony/databases.

I will use smanager to run a script upon startup of the secondary profile that does a

mount -o bind /data/.profile/1/com.android.providers.telephony/databases /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases

This already worked for tricking the os for using my sd card instead of internal memory for some demanding apps (Google play music, for example), i suppose it may work well here to trick the system into using the original profile's db and store newly arrived sms/mms in there!

Will let you know how it works

[Android Apps and Games] ex-28:

even tried selecting an icon image which should be small enough to use :(
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Maybe its the file manager you're using?
[Android Apps and Games] dukhan:
ftgg99; is there anyway i can set different language for each user? When i tried, it only applies one language.

ftgg99; the first time i experienced such on my galaxy tab while the auto-rotate option is on and the tab is rotated by 180 degree (samsung log on top overturned), i turn off the auto-rotate then press on the power off to let the tab lock then i repress the power off button to sign in by using the swithcme user log in screen that came automatically due to the automatically longing off.

In such above condition, i can not sign back in to any user and the touch screen does not respond to the points of touches. Evermore, i can not turn off the tab but the only solution i have to do is just guessing, touching anywhere of the screen to catch the unlock circle then move my finger to somewhere other than what is shown on the screen to unlock. In addition, the problem still present and i have to turn on the auto-rotate option and rotate back the tab then turn off the auto-rotate.

Does it sound strange and how can i fix such?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
This is an old issue that was fixed back in the beta. Send us some logs, we will see. Be sure to describe the problem.

In the meantime you should lock the orientation through the apps settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Holmes108:
This is the greatest tablet app ever. Seriously, I don't know if I could live without it anymore.

That being said, I'm having some minor Wifi "hiccups", although I'm not sure at all that it's Switchme related. I only ran my Galaxy tab 10.1 for literally a couple of days before installing Switchme, so again, I'm not sure if this app has anything to do with it.

What happens is that when switching profiles, sometimes the Wifi will take far longer than usual to connect, and other times it won't seem to at all. The strange thing is that to fix it, all I ever have to do is go the the Wifi screen. I don't even click anything... the moment I go to the screen it immediately says "obtaining IP address" etc and then connects.

It seems to happen more often when switching profiles than just from a boot, and I never noticed it happening in the first few days I owned the tablet (prior to using Switchme). But those observations are purely anecdotal, and not really scientific at all.

Is it possible Switchme is affecting this? or could it just be a Galaxy Tab glitch? For what it's worth, it happened the same on Stock and on CM9.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
SwitchMe itself is not at fault, but something in the way the switching happens on your particular rom could be. Try running for a while without fast switch mode to see if it helps.
[Android Apps and Games] Holmes108:
Hmm, that's a good idea. I didn't use fast switching for the first few weeks, and I can't recall if the issue happened then or not. Thanks.

Stuck on lock screen with no user icons

Hello. I installed the most recent ASUS update 9.2.1.21 and now when I start the ASUS it is stuck on screen unlock but there are no icons to drag the unlock circle over to start using the tablet. I know that apps are running in the background because when I tap the bottom taskbar I can see new email notifications, apps updating etc. But when I try to access an app (gmail for instance) the screen locks and I am stuck. Is there a way I can bypass the lock screen? I can connect via USB to my computer and can access folders is that helps.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
You can use the instructions in the main thread, its in my sig. Search it for "unswitchme".

In the future, disable the lock screen before installing updates. And better yet, backup with nandroid beforehand.

[Android Apps and Games] xd4d3v:
To the Devs.

A Feature request.

Instead of selecting the profiles to unlock. you can just use a pin screen.

According to which PIN you enter it goes into one or another profile.

that way, the users of other profile "dont know" there are several profiles ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hi. A pin type switch screen theme is on our to do list. For now though you can use the legacy screen, it has an option not to auto complete profile names.

Same for me... I don't know about the need to disable SwitchMe lockscreen before updating my ACER A200. Yesterday I installed a Kernel Update to OC the tablet. After applying the update.zip and a reboot I am locked out :mad:

I tried to root the device again with the supersimple root tool for the ACER A200 but nothing happen with the lockscreen... What can I do now?

Ok I have solved this by myself and I know what was wrong...

After the update I have tried many times to boot the device. One time superuser comes in front and I have done the biggest mistake... I have denied SwitchMe SU rights. That was because I never have worked directly with Superuser.apk and don't know what I done.

So after getting root back SwitchMe still can't get su rights.

I have fixed this with the adb shell

I found the fahrbot switchme apk and I renamed it. Then I rebooted my tablet and YEAH!!! I is back again. I gave Su rights to SwitchMe with the superuser apk, renamed the switchme apk to the original name and the known lockscreen comes back and I can unlock my device...happy now :-)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Why would you need it?
[Android Apps and Games] twistedumbrella:
I was curious how exactly switching some data aspects would be more useful than being able to swap an entire build. I get the purpose, but being able to swap an entire build with custom system apps, settings, accounts, etc hardly seems less useful than having my "work" data profile separate from my "game" data profile. Really seems to be focused on a family device or people with split personalities. I guess having different roms for different purposes, I am curious what the motivation would be to go to profiles instead.
[Android Apps and Games] Holmes108:
As he said, I would think Profiles would be much more mainstream. I bet a majority of users would like profiles (not just a majority of XDA users, or geeks). Whereas I'd be willing to bet the amount of people wanting 2 different roms/builds would be tiny.

Would it be a cool tool? Sure, but I have serious doubts about the demand.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Weve seen a lot of this sort of thing, especially when ics came out and google swapped the yes/noy button positions to no/yes.

Fun fun fun :)

What he said, and what i said, theres already an app that does that in a hopelessly limited way. And thats how it will stay im afraid. If i could live in a perfect world, android would not be fragmented and sm would work for everyone flawlessly ;)

SwitchMe and nandroid

Hi!

I currently use SwitchMe on an MIUI Galnet build - still GB (not ICS) and it is the latest GB MUIU build. I have two profiles:Private and Work ( couse the Work has security locek code and so on).

I wonder: When I do a NANDROID backup of the current ROM - does it backup also ALL switchme data for the non-active profile? Can I simply just store it and play with new ROMs ? And when I need my work profile, I simply just restore and use the switchme to activate the work profile ( if the nandroid was done from my private profile...)

Can someone explain ?

Thanks & regards,

Kacab

Little help

Ok, I've searched the thread but found nothing useful.

I have a Droid Incredible with CM7, and the app installs and will create a profile, but will not switch to a new profile. It just reboots back to my original profile. Any help would be appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Maybe you cloned your first profile?
[Android Apps and Games] vua777:

[Android Apps and Games] blackholepcs:
Nope. It was a fresh profile, not cloned.

[Android Apps and Games] togapilot:
I'll echo the Droid Incredible/CM7 problem that blackholepcs mentioned a couple of posts back. I have the same setup and have been unable to get SwitchMe to work. I can create a new profile but any attempt to switch results in a reboot without switching profiles. I've tried many times with my current setup as well and have also tried to immediately following a clean install of CM7.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
As i say, its probably something to do with the way it links to data. Might be superuser related too. Why dont you replicate the issue and send logs through the app. Be sure to describe the problem.

Apart from being completely pointless, one might ask how is this a cm9 port anyway?

As the description says, any data located outside the proper folders via symlink cannot be located definitively, and therefore roms with these links are not supported.
