Nope i know nothing about task. I only know that there are hundreds of "devs" on this site that know nothing whatsoever about "development" - people tend to get confused about the meaning of that word.

In any case, we dont change app code to suit random third parties. We spend our time maximizing compatibility (and since overcome works, thats good enough)!

There will be an update tonight that addresses many issues across a variety of devices, it may or may not help.
[Android Apps and Games] Kameo:
Yep, got it. I know that you already answered it earlier, i just wanted to make it clear.

I don't know if people really shutdown down their phone(s), but i know that i switch my 2 tabs a lot.

Having a default profile, my wife's one and mine to switch at logon would be awesome.

Anyway, keep it up, your app will sure become a standard :D
[Android Apps and Games] shilldiy:
This would completely work for me (make it an option perhaps if not for others?).

I have just ordered the Transformer Prime that I've been deliberating over specifically because this app has been released. You are a godsend!
[Android Apps and Games] KingJoshu:
Have there been many instances of this getting stuck in a bootloop and needing a restore? I'm a bit nervous about putting it on my Prime since it doesn't have CWM yet and there's a scary usage warning.
[Android Apps and Games] dasunsrule32:
What's the process of "undoing" the multiple profiles if ever needs be? I was going to look on the dev site from the market, and it's dead. Thanks. :)
[Android Apps and Games] rimoth:
The ability to switch profiles from the lock screen would be make this app brilliant. (I haven't even installed it yet!!)
[Android Apps and Games] short/y:
Has anyone experimented with Google's backup and restore facility? I'm trying to do so but I'm not sure I'll be able to tell what changing access points and apps on one profile will do to another that uses the same Google account.
[Android Apps and Games] nscxp2005:
Do you know if this will work on the Xperia Play?
[Android Apps and Games] danlivesey:
Just done a switch on my xperia play and it works good but still working it out, when I switched to the clean rom, it seem to stack up on my ram and said low mem. But its safe. Nice work dev
[Android Apps and Games] nscxp2005:
Thanks mate.

I just want to clarify something, does this allow the user to try a couple of different roms?

All the best,

I have the same problem, when i reboot into TWRP it shows the /data/profiles/3/ empty folder, so it copies nothing to the new one.

Running Asus Transformer TF101G, with No-Name Rom 4.2.2

Before this i had the Stock Asus rom rooted v4.0.3 and there it was running fine.

Is there a way to create a standard user (or guest) which we can then clone the profile ? because when i clone my own profile i could start in the newly created clone.
[Android Apps and Games] sxjg23:
I guess this app needs to be updated to work with the current android versions. Maybe someone has more info.
[Android Apps and Games] sxjg23:
Even current version 1.5.4.3 doesn't work with Android 4.3 and Samsung phones.
[Android Apps and Games] SGWonder:
Hi,

what if i flash new version of rom (cm10.1 alpha5 to cm10.1 beta 2) will i lose all apps and profiles including my primary one?
[Android Apps and Games] rootcid:
No, as long as the android version remains the same (ie 4.2.2 or 4.4.2), the partitions will not change and you can flash without worries. I do it all the time for nightlies.

[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
Tried it on my Lenovo S5000 4.2 tablet (for which I have root but no recovery as I cannot find one out there for it).

Created two profiles, switched to the second one, it rebooted and loaded but Superuser asked to grant a powermanagement app root which I said yes to, then nothing else loaded. No desktop, statusbar clicks don't work.

Edit:

Wiped emmc, back to above situation. Any idea what could be stopping the menus/system from opening?
[Android Apps and Games] TylerDurben:
Hi,

Since today I'm a switchme customer and I really like the idea!!!

After installing switchme to my note 3 international, using 4.4.2, creating and switching works really good.

But after some minutes on my mainprofile I noticed that my SwiftKey languages that i downloaded r missing!?

Could be a problem with storage management of switchme, but not really sure ;)

So I send you some interesting logs and a bootimg of the note 3, to find and fix the problem.

Forgot Password

I have not used this tablet in a while and it is logged into a different admin account. I want to log into "original" account again but I do not recall the password I set.

How do I reset the password?

Can I delete this account?

If you have a registered Samsung account for your device, you can unlock it via the Samsung Web page ;)

doesnt work on samsung s3, android 4.3

on my Samsung t-mobile s3, android 4.3, when I created second profile. while first time switching it just shows busy for hours and nothing happens.

I reported this to support but no reply.

is there any setting can help?? let us know if you can figure it out.

Does this app needs SD card to be inside phone?.. which I don't have, almost 5gb phone memory is free.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] sxjg23:
How can this be? I have the same phone (SM-N9005), same os version (4.4.2), the phone's rooted and this app DOES NOT WORK. Never did on my Note 3 / galaxy S3 / galaxy S4 with android versions 4.3 or higher. Tried all versions of switchme incl. last one (1.5.4.6.B5).
[Android Apps and Games] TylerDurben:
Tested on x-note 13

Meanwhile i deleted switchme because of some bugs!

Developer did not answer to any questions, don't know if this project is still alive!?
[Android Apps and Games] Droidphilev:
Hi,

Look at the original poster: his account is disabled. I had some questions too a posted them in their Google+ page. Don't expect an answer and if they answer it will be negative. I hope they lose all their customers very fast!

my problem was: this app creates a /data/ for every user and this works correctly. Still, there's a folder /android/ on the internal SD which developers also can use for storing things (like games use allot /android/obb/). The built in Multi-user in android is not so powerfull as Switchme but al users get their own /android/ folder too while in Switchme this is not the case. My emailclient uses this folder too. So i cannot setup thesame mailclient for 2 users with different accounts. Their answer was that this app cannot be updated for things like this, simple. So: good app, BAD company!!!
[Android Apps and Games] sunnychan2012:
Hi,

The switchme app seems to have big problem. I try the free version. The time between switching to another profile is too long to bear. The app should not refresh so frequently when the user switch between apps. Finally I had uninstall it. They should release a stable version so users can still use it, for example creating two versions above or below android 4.4.

Btw, how many profiles all of you created with the paid version?
[Android Apps and Games] rootcid:
Perhaps you should read the app description and the help as suggested?

samsung galaxy star systemui error

I've got problem

with custom system ui. It

always show me a error

message. How can I use

custom systemui with

Switchme. thankx
[Android Apps and Games] ineedaname:
So I installed the app last night and created a 2nd profile. I logged in and everything worked great. I switched back to my original profile and everything seemed to be working.

However when I loaded back into switchme it shows that my 2nd profile was active but the green dot was on the 1st one. I'm actually loaded into my first profile but it somehow thinks i'm in the 2nd profile. I'm stuck on my first profile no matter how many times i try to switch or log out but somehow it thinks i'm on my 2nd profile. I can't remove either profiles because it says i don't have the admin rights.

Please let me know if anyone else is having this problem or if there's a fix.

I'm using a OnePlus One with a stock rooted rom.
[Android Apps and Games] lucamira:
Anything odd in the properties (size) of the account you are ACTUALLY in, even if the app thinks differently? I just solved the same problem, in my case disk space for profile one were all zeroes except for apps (3.45 megs)

Open a terminal window (I'm using CyanogenMod, you may have to download an app for that)

su

[Grant superuser privileges when prompted]

cd data/.profiles

ls 2

ls 1

In my case the listing for profile 1 only had one item (app)

Now the potentially dangerous part, it solved my problem but do it at your own risk. Basically we're wiping the defective profile (which will backed up again when we switch out of it, so nothing is lost) and exchange profiles 1 and 2 to reverse the app's confusion.

cd 1

rm -Rf *

cd ..

mv 1 3

mv 2 1

mv 3 2

Now force close SwitchMe if running, open it, and you should be able to switch back to the other profile.

Wish you all the best! Let me know if it works for you

SwitchMe - "factory reset" after switching

Dear SwitchMe-Team and Experts,

I used to be very happy with this app - since this week.

I created 4 profiles but mainly switched between profile 1 and prof 2. Worked like a charm.

Monday, I was switching from prof 1 to prof 2 and then my Nexus 5 welcomed me to my "new phone" - f....ck!! I knew, there was some gone wrong... I rebooted, but without success.

I then was setting up and installed SwitchMe quickly. I then saw all 4 profiles - but they were all empty - zeros everywhere (in the profile overview) and I was not able to switch to another profile. It stucks on the "new" created profile - there is/was nothing I could do. The content of the storage partition was still there - at least.

I was resetting the whole phone - gone back to official nexus 4.4.4. and then installed the custom Rom (Mahdi 2.7).

Was setting up everything again, the main profile (1) and the second one (2) and two more profiles.

Guess what? After I was finished installing everything on profile 1 and 2, and after some successful switches (20-30 more or less), it happened again. Same error as described above.

After rebooting (dalvic flushing), Android was updating ~120 Apps (yeah, I tought, I was back again) - but there were no apps - it was a "clean new profile" without my data. Switching impossible - like described above.

The f...ck... Somebody an idea what happens here?

Here some info:

Nexus 5, 16GB

Mahdi ROM 2.7 (20140903)

Kernel: ElementalX-N5-1.10

I absolutely have no clue what could have happened, that after some switching the phone seems to make a factory reset.

Are there some known issues that cause this error?

Thank you guys for some help.

Switch me keeps crashing on second profile.. please help!

Hi,

When I installed Switch me, I just got a warning that some of my apps are on sd card and my behave strangely, which I ignored. Then I successfully made two profiles. Then I switched onto second profile (switch me prompted me that it could take 5 mins, which I accepted) . The phone sucessfully rebooted, created a new profile. But the switch me in it always shows the message that it has crashed. I tried to load but in vain. As a result of which I am stuck on second profile and can't switch to first/primary one which contains all my data. Also, in second profile it is always showing the message that "Storage Space Running Out". The crash may be due to that, m assuming. But I can't delete/ uni stall anything as the applications are not showing.

Could you please tell me how to resolve this problem.

I need to enter into my first/primary profile as I have my data in it. Please guide how I could achieve it. Either some manual procedure or some other way out thought which I could boot into my first/primary profile.

Please guide, its very urgent.

My Phone is samsung note GT-7000 having rooted official samsung jelly bean rom.

Thanks.

new profile problem

Hi

I added a new profile to my switchme (working flawlessly lately, I must say) and at first boot with this new profile the system stops and won't let me operate - it gets stuck at first-use settings

I think there was not enough space in my device to add a new profile

Is there any way I can make switchme boot from any of the other profiles that actually work?

so I don't have to format everything and start from scratch... I don't have a backup!

thanks for your help
[Android Apps and Games] Anzvai:
Hi, I'm really worried. I have installed this app, I've crated a new profile and switched to the new profile. Android reboots in the new profile without any app (as expected) but I don't find SwitchMe anymore. I think it's probably because I had few space in memory. So I delete some files (pictures) to be able to install the app again. I do it. Now in the app I can see the original profile but I can't switch back to it anymore! I see the SWITCH option only for the new profile. It acts as if I already was in the original profile but it's not so obviously!

It's frustrating because in the app I can see the original profile with still all data in memory!

Please help me.

5th profile not booting, system.ui crashing.

Hi

Switchme showed me 11GB of free space, so I created a 5th profile.

It booted, started optimizing apps. like 48/110 I saw. Then system.ui and android crashes. And keeps crashing.

I can push the on/off button and beeing quick enough, I get to tap the reboot/shutdown button between the next system.ui crashed warning pops up.

I guess, the memory storage is full.

Can I just enter recovery, use a file manager and delete this 5th profile manually?

Because now, it is always booting into this not working profile. The other four are fine.

Thanks

This app made me lose data twice! :(

I have nexus 5x with 7.1.1 with Elemental X kernel and for twice after I switched to my second account via this app, it required me password and always rejected my password which I'm sure it was correct.

Both times I had no backup and had no way but reset my phone. Even deleting app through TWRP didn't make it let me log in my phone with my "correct" password!!!

Be aware, guys!

Yesterday I rescued an old tablet from my drawer. It had SwitchMe installed. I uninstalled it and when I rebooted I had lost half my apps, and Play Store gives FC.

Any way of recovering from this?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] dekuji63:
I'm missing some important step. How do I get apps shared across accounts? There is really only one I want to have work in both accounts (Find My Device) to keep the tablet connected for location from my admin account. Everything else doesn't matter but I cannot figure how to get that app on both 'sides' without having to actually log in and add the app from the Play Store because then it's a PITA to try to remove the Google account. Thanks for helping out!

[Android Apps and Games] mrsanna:
switchme does not work today, it does not switch. Any problems?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
An update has been released and should be available for download in half an hour or so. Heres the gist:

1.0.5

- Fixed Superuser issue (please recreate all your profiles or install Superuser from the market in all previously created profiles if this issue affected you)

- Fixed start up crash on some 2.1 and 2.2 devices

- Fixed many device-specific bugs

- Reworked UI (new profile selector, new details)

- Added more warning screens

- Added administrator account functionality

- Added full profile wipe

Boot loops should only affect devices with small memory cards (and people who disregard the automatic low-memory warning the app will show). You should be fine, there is after all a recovery of some kind on the device.

We are in the process of creating a new site. To remove the profiles, use the Wipe feature in the settings of todays release.

I dont see why not.

[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Now, if you want to help us debug, BEFORE YOU DO THE ABOVE, enter:

1. adb shell ls -l /data/

and send the resulting text to fahrbotlogs@gmail.com

Thanks.

For you and anyone else who is unable to get back to their first profile and didnt heed the warning about nandroid!

Notes on the code:

Connect device via adb then enter with the following guidelines to the steps:

3. if 1 is the first profile you created, then for every directory it shows, do steps 3 and 4, substituting the directory number

4/5. use the name of the directory

1. adb shell

2. stop

3. ls /data/.profiles/1

4. rm -r /data/directory_name

5. mv /data/.profiles/1/directory_name /data

6. start

That should boot you into your original profile.

If you want to help us, use the first code that I posted above and then send the resulting text to the address provided. We will make it work.

[Android Apps and Games] jbarns:
working great, i remember this in development (coming soon) and forgot about it until now.

Now IMO a sweet feature request would be a slide to unlock profile. So on the lockscreen you would have a choice between profiles. Profiles could also be password protected.

This would be great because my gf and I share our tablet, I would like to have my email/fb synced up but don't want the GF snooping around in it.

Great work so far!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
