If you are certain, please help us to solve the issue. Reproduce the behavior and then send logs through the Settings. Make sure you describe the problem - "switch to test profile goes back to main profile" or something like that will do.

Thanks in advance.

Any issues with 1.0.7?

According to the latest review we should "**** u. You make me not switch back" :-)

Hopefully that's just a random case...
[Android Apps and Games] leventccc:
looks really cool but the switching takes very long
[Android Apps and Games] jbarns:

[Android Apps and Games] yitzter:
I'm quite certain that nothing is actually happening. I sent you a log from the settings. Hopefully this will help you in resolving the issue.

Totally Messed up my Nook Tablet

Hi Guys,

Good News is this is working in Nook Tablet...

Bad News is i totally Messed up. First i created a Administrator Profile, when i rebooted, i got rebooted to my orginal(rooted) profile.

So i created another user profile and switched to that profile..

Then all the hell got loose..

Now i am rebooted to my Non-Root as first time login. The tablet asked me to do steps what i did during my intial login.

My Root Previleges are gone (really!!! i don knw yet)

I like to reboot back to my Root profile or the Administrator... Can somebody help me out in this..

Cheers!!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] jbarns:
I had to wipe /system to get my taskbar back in case anyone is wondering. Won't be using this app until its more stable.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Only the first time. After that, use fast switching mode - on my devices it takes less than a minute.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Do you understand "nandroid backup"? Why were you wiping /system?

You dont know yet? What is that supposed to mean?
[Android Apps and Games] mac4rfree:
Because from Nook launcher, i am not able to see any applications i have installed, so not even the SuperUser. It seems to be as if it has been factory reset. :(

Only thing now i want is how to switch back to my Admin User profile... because am not able to see anything prompting for which user profile to use,, it is directly login to test user i created.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Did you perform a nandroid backup? Have you tried downloading su from the market? Have you read the instructions on how to manually get back to a profile via adb that was posted a few pages back?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Updated to 1.0.8

This is a small release that addresses a bug with switching profiles on some devices (where pressing the Switch button would do nothing).

A few minor device specific bugs (Transformer Prime, ICS Xoom) have also been fixed.

The strings, descriptions and help have been updated. No spelling mistakes or nonsensical phrases in this one.
[Android Apps and Games] pu3cyg:
Can't switch profile after updated to 1.0.8. Running ICS on Xoom Wifi. I've already sent log through the app.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yes... but you did not describe the issue. Cant switch profile tells us nothing. BE SPECIFIC!
[Android Apps and Games] pu3cyg:
Nothing happened after I clicked on the "Switch" button, nor the "Activate" popup menu. I was on my admin profile, trying to switch to another non-admin one. Do let me know if you need more info. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
I think i know what the problem is - its kind of our fault, because ATM clicking "no" in the first switch dialog when you have selected "Dont show this again" will cause it to never switch. My bad.

Will be fixed in a minute, a new version is already finished and will be pushed to market in the next half hour.
[Android Apps and Games] pu3cyg:
thank you very much for the quick response and action :-)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
1.0.9

A hotfix for people who are unable to switch profiles when clicking the "Switch" button. Everything should now switch perfectly.

Reboot your device, then let me know if it worked.
[Android Apps and Games] pu3cyg:
Just updated and it worked! Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ermeda:
Hi ftgg99,

I installed app 2 times but each time I'm stuck in a boot loop.

My steps:

Install APP

Launch App and create 2 profile, 1st one ,called Admin, and after this I create another one called User

Long Press on User anc choose Activate

After this I'm prompted to reboot and I do

I left my Note run for 10 minutes but no way, boot loop, boot animation keep on restarting withjout end.

My configuration is in signature.

Thanks for any support and , even if this APP is not currently working for me, GREAT IDEA....it remind me, in a certain way, what VMware is doing with Android.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Have you tried a rom that doesnt have A2SD links?
[Android Apps and Games] ermeda:
Hi,

no tryed only with this Rom but, as soon as I'll flash another rom, I'll try (anyway Rocket is , for me, the best Rom for Galaxy Note so I don't think I'll change it, exept fot testing again SwitchME app...)

Anyway never used A2SD apps or anything like this.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Its not something you would even notice... basically there are links to elements of the system. Lots of rom cookers will leave a whole load of rubbish that isnt necessary (ehrm, see above) because they copy paste their work. There may bo no implementation at all but the links will still prevent the app from working correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] ermeda:
Hi,

Can you give me some example:

Some init file or stuff like this to check?

This Rome is jus a stock Rome with some init.d script and some graphical mod and, from the change log , I was not able to find out something related to A2SD or anything to let install app into sd ext partition (even because Galaxy Note rom is really big enough so no need to move app into sd).

Thanks to help me :-)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Its too complicated mate... and youre wrong, ots got a lot of crazy mixup in there. Based on stock? That means nothing much really. Best i can do is recommend another.
[Android Apps and Games] ermeda:
Ok,

Thanks anyway for your help.

Bye
[Android Apps and Games] mipuel:
exactly what my girlfriend need to use MY tablet !
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Excellent. Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
In any case, there will be a new release tomorrow.
[Android Apps and Games] nt1001:
The stock Nook launcher won't show you anything that wasn't installed through the nook store/pre-loaded. You should be able to search for application names or, if that fails, install appmanager.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Just tried it on the Galaxy Tab 7.7 - works flawlessly!
[Android Apps and Games] BtirreG:
On Xoom wingray with latest cm9 it works perfect. Thank you very much!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
No problem. Please leave a review on the market, that will help us a loy!
[Android Apps and Games] riggsandroid:
Last night when switching between profiles it booted into a new installation of cm9 and no data from profile is there but it shows a profile in the app. I cant switch to any profile it just reboots into the new installation. All data appears to be in the appropriate folders.

Any way to fix? Cm9 on HP touch pad.

Sent logs last night via app. PM for email
[Android Apps and Games] ayysir:
Try to see if you can get free version of switch me apk. And if you know how to use adb, push it to system folder and chmod the file at 0644 then reboot
[Android Apps and Games] riggsandroid:
I was able to install it but I'll check permissions
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
In these cases, PLEASE SEND LOGS WITH DESCRIPTIONS!
[Android Apps and Games] riggsandroid:
I did. I sent a log via the app. I'll check my email and send again?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
No, we dont respond to all logs. But we do appreciate any log at all.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
1.0.10 - this release is aimed at increasing compatibility, if your device was not supported before for some reason, please use the new logging function to let us know why!

Improved logging, added ability to send logs even from incompatible devices

Reworked native switch code - it is now faster and much more stable on all architectures

Added new notification graphics for all screen resolutions
[Android Apps and Games] iammodo:
Just installed this on my xoom, works really well.

A widget or something to swap users would be so handy
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
A widget is already in the works! Should be ready for the next release!
[Android Apps and Games] dasunsrule32:
You should move all information like that into your main thread. ; )
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Its not necessary and will not work half the time. The nandroid warning is already in the OP and app itself mate.
[Android Apps and Games] parthabhatta:
Working well on Optimus 2X running on CM7 kangs by Temasek.

BTW, shall I reinstall the app when I flash a new nightly with only cache & Dalvik wipe (NO FULL WIPE)?

Secondly, can I uninstall a system app from one profile and let it remain on the other?
[Android Apps and Games] theyurtingyeti:
Compatible with various restore functions?

I've been looking through all the threads (I have not read every single post), but I don't think my question was covered.

How does this app worth with restore functions?

1) If I do a nandroid backup will all profiles be saved?

2) Do I need to do TiBu backups within each profile and then restore from each profile?

If I flash a rom w/o clearing all user data (so that the apps are maintained) will this app still work correctly? I assume this would not be true if the flash is of a different ROM.

I ask because I flash stuff on my phone on a regular basis, I want to get an idea how much extra work could be in store if I try out this app:)

Sounds like a killer app though, great work!
[Android Apps and Games] fafrehugen:
1 Yes all profiles are saved - the nandroids copy partritions entirely, not apps or data..

2 No, i dont see why you should just clone!
[Android Apps and Games] aisha23:
is it possible to install multiple roms on the same device though??
[Android Apps and Games] Kameo:
Yep you can, but not with this app...
[Android Apps and Games] Shortbus-Driver:
With what can this be done?
[Android Apps and Games] Shortbus-Driver:
This works great...Kuddos mate!

keep up the great work.....i was highly impressed at how simple and well your app works!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Bootmanager
[Android Apps and Games] Shortbus-Driver:
Lmao .. shoulda saw that comin.

and im guessin you are refering to rom manager....and thats not were i was going with it
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
No mated i referring to Boot Manager

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.drx2.bootmanager

Enjoy, if youre device is supported.
[Android Apps and Games] theyurtingyeti:
Thanks! I'll have to check it out :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Right. Let me know how it goes!
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Just installed + purchased it for my Transformer dual booting ubuntu and it works like a charm! Thanks for the great app, I look forward to future changes and improvements.

One question though. How does the app calculate the appropriate space to each new instance? The free / remaining space seems to change depending on that instance's use.

Just curious as I don't want to run out by creating too many.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
The app will warn you if theres not enough space.

When you look at the details screen, the top blue bar will show overall space usage by that particular profile.

A new profile will generally need about the same amount of space for the Dalvik (the bottom orange bar) as every other.

In any case, the transformer has enough space for 20 or more profiles, so i wouldnt worry about it...
[Android Apps and Games] rimoth:
How's the new version coming along?
[Android Apps and Games] ptruman:
I'm VERY tempted to try this out, however my tablet is (currently) encrypted.

Does this app run when the tablet is encrypted? (It looks like it's "post boot" so should do?)

EDIT 1 : Installed it anyway, seems to work!

EDIT 2 : "Sort of" :\

My WiFi uses EAP-TLS, and when I added a new profile, obviously that would not have my default profile certificates. When I fast switched back to the main profile, it would not connect to my WiFi - showing no certificates as being available in the WiFi AP manager - but my custom CA cert WAS present in the list of certificates under the security manager.

A hard reboot sorted that - but it seems the credential manager doesn't like fast switching - at least on an initial switch - I tried again and it worked :)

What would be REALLY cool would be a custom lockscreen - enabling the device to lock after going idle and allowing someone else to pick up and login. That saves people having to "logout" or go back to a default profile.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Coming tomorrow - we have our hands full with Undelete 2.0 at the moment.

Encryption does not affect this app, any encryption settings will be stored on a per-profile basis. Cool huh?
[Android Apps and Games] ptruman:
My Xoom "default" profile shows :

App Space : 197/430MB

Data : 178/430MB

Dalvik : 54/430MB

My test profile shows :

App Space : 400K/19MB

Data : 3.6/19MB

Dalvik : 14/19MB

Is the 19MB a hard limit and/or can it be changed?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
As i said, you should be looking at the top BLUE bar, everything else is irrelevant to the final calculation.
[Android Apps and Games] ptruman:
Fairy snuff, I saw it got bigger :)

"Clone" seemed a bit odd. I setup a profile at install, and then cloned it, and got a base install with no settings. I cloned it again for another user and got a true clone.

Only other minor thing of note is that once you switch user, that user doesn't have the paid for key, so the app pops up a message, but given those users aren't admins, it's not a huge issue - just a minor niggle.

Otherwise, it's top, and confirmed working with encrypted Xoom tablets :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Regarding the key - that should not be happening. Send logs please. WITH DESCRIPTION.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
By the way guys, please leave ratings on the market - just click the star icon :)
[Android Apps and Games] fafrehugen:
Done and done! Thanks for this awesomely useful app!
[Android Apps and Games] ptruman:
What do you need from me in terms of log?

Switch user, get msg about the key, send log?

Wrong app. This is for multiple user profiles on the same ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yes, that will do. Be sure to include a description.

[Android Apps and Games] rimoth:
Drum roll please.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Done, heres the gist:

1.1

Added awesome widget

Fixed a minor issue with Superuser on specific devices

EDIT no, just found a small bug. Will upload 1.1.1 in a minute :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Done. 1.1.1:

Fixed widget not showing active profile
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hi guys. I know there are a few issues with the widget - too small on tablets, opens app again if app was exited by pressing home. Will be fixed tomorrow!
[Android Apps and Games] amraving:
Would not load with desire using webs aio rom.

Crash report sent to you guys, I hope you can get it sorted.

sent from my desire running seb's aio rom
[Android Apps and Games] rimoth:
Couple of suggestions for the widget . Rather than "open application " how about switch profile or user? Dialogue should close when clicking outside area.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
It already does that mate, you probably haven't set up any profiles...
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Your rom has a non-native a2sd implementation, which means it will never be supported. Also, your phone is not exactly ideal for this app to begin with...
[Android Apps and Games] rimoth:
No I'm on the paid version with four profiles.

When I click on the widget the dialogue which appears has the title 'Open Application'. I think this would be better if it said " Switch Profile" or "Switch User".

Clicking outside the dialogue area should make the dialogue disappear - standard ICS behaviour.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Its not a tiltle, its an option. Maybe you should just stop using the wpp aslltogether if the logic scapes you...
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
1.1.2

Fixed widget size on qHD+ screens

Reworked Home button behavior in widget
[Android Apps and Games] rimoth:
I'm with you now! When I clicked on it did nothing though. I will check and report back.

What about the second point?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Sorry guys we havent time to deal with everything today, we have another project due monday.

I myself will be releasing something tomorrow - a little pet project that will be very useful to people who use their devices as ereaders...
[Android Apps and Games] amraving:
If I return to my stock froyo will this work?

I know a desire isn't the latest kit but I want to try your software.

sent from my desire running seb's aio rom
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Yes, it will work and has been tested.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Any issues to report with the latest version?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Hi again guys! Please get me some feedback on how things are working in the latest build...
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Come on guys, its important that we get some feedback after new releases!
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
As I use this program on my tablet, I don't have any need for the widget, since the persistent notification works better (more convenient?) I find. As for the other additions, things seem to be working well for me.

I'm secretly holding out for a custom lockscreen, which I know will be a whole lot of work. Maybe you guys could consider writing a Widgetlocker plugin? ;)

Anyway I love the app. My gf now uses my tablet since she can have her own account! Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] johnnycs:
I would gladly test a new version if you could it to work with my Vibrant!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
It already works on your vibrant. Get a rom without a2sd links and you'll be fine.
[Android Apps and Games] barryflanagan:
Problem is, it just works - makes feedback hard! Would love to see a lock screen switcher, but apart from that, it does what I want very well already.

[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
We are working on it! Next week there will be some sort of beta i hope.
[Android Apps and Games] fafrehugen:

I don't want to switch to a different ROM. The ironic thing is I don't use a2sd at all since my phone's internal memory is larger than my sd card. Is there a way to disable a2sd so that I can use SwitchMe on this rom?

[Android Apps and Games] Braneless:
Sad to say, but over 50% of reviews I've read in the market were written by retards. You can read some truly depressing reviews there - it makes the movie Idiocracy look like a documentary.
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
There's no way to disable them - they would not be there in the first place if your roms creator had not copy pasted his way into "development". Sorry, but there is nothing to be done at our end. Contact the rom guy and see what he has to say...

App not work on my device

I had originally downloaded the app and it worked (or at least opened fine). I had not gotten around to setting up any profiles or anything.

After the last round of updates I get a message saying that the app is not compatible on my device. No changes to my device have been made. I submitted the error form through email to the developers.

Phone: Captivate

ROM: THSs CM9 Alpha RC0 build 15 (ICS)

Kernel: Glitch v14 beta2
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
That really doesnt tell me much, especially if you never bothered to set up any profiles or try switching.

The only reason the app would say your phone is not compatibe is if you have a2sd links built into the rom. Can you please let me know who you are in thelogs exactly? I will look into the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] ptruman:
Did you get my report? (I sent it a couple of days ago - been away!)

So far the only glitch I've seen is with secure credential storage. Powering the device down manually, and powering it back up - sometimes the Xoom comes back with no certificates in the "Modify AP list".

Switch to the default profile, reboot, switch profile to a user, all good again. Not 100% replicable, but the only thing I've seen so far!
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Does this happen when youre using fast switch or in general? In any case, ill have a look.

By the way, did you include a description in your log? We generally ignore log submissions without descriptions...
[Android Apps and Games] ptruman:
I did indeed give a desc, just can't remember what I put! :\

And yes, I'm using fast switch as otherwise the "full" reboot (and decryption PIN entry) is wife annoying!

On another view, I just upgraded the app via my "main" profile - the other profiles all tell me their instance needs upgrade separately - is that something you could 'fix' via one single installation across all profile dirs?
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
ATM this is not possible. Best we can do is prompt you to update manually!
[Android Apps and Games] ptruman:
Addendum - the report was about a diff issue.

i.e. I have the full (paid for) key but sub accounts were (and still are) telling me I had to upgrade if I click add. If I log back in under the "first" profile it's fine :)

Have just subbed a new report with the desc "shiny new report for xda" (or new & shiny report for xda) :)

My profile was a NEW (not cloned) profile and IS set to admin :)
[Android Apps and Games] ftgg99:
Actually the point of the key not being available to all profiles is important - only the owner of the device should be able to administer the passwords, and therefore only owner accounts need the key...

Now, what is your new issue?
[Android Apps and Games] ptruman:
If I setup a profile as an administrator though (which my profile is) THAT profile cannot add profiles, as it gets the licence warning.

I have to switch to the main account to add a user. If that's by design, the then UI "+" button should be removed for the non key holding account?

The "new" issue was the lack of secure credential appearance on some boots, but it's a sod to replicate (i.e. random).
