Added lock screen for logging in and out

More stable Fast switch implementation

Reworked UI colors

Now, its very important that we get some feedback on how this big new feature works, so please read up on it in the help and post your thoughts!

Hello,

installed - actually without doing a nandroid ;o)

profile switching seems quite cool - how much is these things split up?

So if i use a profile to kids and one for work ?

can these be password protected?

If you buy it - could you provide screenshots of the lock screen?

else everything seems quite nice here :)

info

galaxy tab wifi 8.9

ics 4.0.3 Galaxian soup beta 1.4

danish language.

---------- Post added at 07:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 PM ----------

and to correction

Lock screen only seems to be an option if you buy the app?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
1.2.2 - HOTFIX 2

Reworked widget on qHD+ displays

Fixed widget text on HC and ICS

Fast switch improved on older devices

Hi guys! I would really appreciate some feedback regarding the new lockscreen!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Anyone at all?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] bdfull3r:
i don't see much use for this app in my daily life. i don't share my tablet with many people and the ones i do share it with no not to **** with things they don't understand. Maybe useful if i wanted to switch between honeycomb and ICS ROM's but i don't know how much value that has
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] orlandoxpolice:
May be useful for rom testing
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
There are plenty of uses!

- lock your account away securely when youre away by logging off -

- use a profile to e-read without any apps at all to drain the battery and different clock settings

- perform all private messaging in another, password protected profile

- test applications

Theres something for everyone :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] domadm:
well, I am interested in using this app on my 8.9, as I share my tablet with kids.

But I got it yesterday, so need some time to find a way to root and backup first.

PM me if you still need testers.

I'd like to test it if was possible to have 2 roms at the same device, I use my tablet to work and fun but would be awsome to test great job of custom rom as overcome, galaxian and so on, after I taste ICS I'll back to 3.2 stock but stable and full funcional

Is it possible?

1.5.3.0

Enabled full support for MIPS and x86 architectures

Many root daemon code fixes and optimizations implemented
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] antijape:
Hi, just installed SwitchMe to my new GT-P7310. Using rooted Stock Rom (A3.2). I have the free version (1.5.3.0) with two profiles and everything seems to be working as expected. I'll continue the testing and report if I'll encounter bugs or some other unexpected behavior. Thanks a lot for this great app!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Thanks, enjoy! Also, if you have suggestions, do let me know. I want to keep improving this one, its a favorite :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] antijape:
I bought the paid version, made third profile and now market (play -store) doesn't work anymore on any profile... It worked with two profiles. I tried clearing cache on everything, re-logging to play, restart, removed the third profile etc, but still if I try to download I get error: "Downloading the <software name> failed because an error (-101)". Message translated from finnish so might not be exactly what it would be in english. I found this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=952100 that says it might have something to do with partitions. Any ideas or should I just restore a nandroid backup (without switchMe)?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Well first of all, could you please send some logs after switching to one of these profiles so we can track the issue (be sure to include a description)

But also try just manually installing the market, in case its a singing problem of some kind.

Anyone else seeing this issue?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] antijape:
I sent you two feedbacks from both non-market-working profiles. Could you explain a bit more about how to manually install/uninstall the market? I removed the play market but how to remove the old market? I can stop it but there's no option for remove. Unfortunately I'm not exactly a guru with the Android. ;) Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] antijape:
Got it working! I removed the gmail account, wiped dalvik, changed the gmail password with pc, added the account again and voila! Not sure what caused the problem, but it might not have anything to do with the SwitchMe. About the same time I added the third profile I began receiving Google Talk authentication errors on Tab (I've never even used Talk) but gmail was working normally. Some maybe it was just somekind of google authentication bug? Also I noticed that I had wrong timezone selected.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] fafrehugen:
Any clean accounts will have a timezone of their own. I think this isnt app related - probably some problem with the play update. We havent had any other reports (yet).
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] antijape:
Yep, this wasn't SwitchMe related. False accusation, do something with app -> something stops working -> blame the app. I did the same process with the second profile (without cache cleaning) and it started working also. Anyway thanks for the help!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
1.5.3.1

Fixed issue with lock on boot

Fixed some rare crashes on lock screen

Fixed MIPS and X86 Key compatibility
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Any issues regarding the latest version? Suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
I take it everything is fine?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] antijape:
Everything seems to be working perfectly. Started using the quickboot and no problems there either.

Might be stupid suggestions (since I'm not a developer) but I'll say them anyway:

1. Some SwitchMe included basic lock screen modifier to easily add SwitchMe widget on lock screen.

2. It would be nice to be able to choose the profile on startup. If "wrong" profile has turned device off then you need to first start that and then right one (=doubleboot). But I guess this is nearly impossible...

3. Some "ultimateprofile-feature" which could be used to update all profiles (e.x. same program on all profiles need to be updated). Again, I think this might be impossible to do...

Anyway thanks again for this great app! This has solved many problems in my family since myself, my wife and the kids can all have their own profiles.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
1 - i dont understand

2 - it already does this...

3 - that can only be done when each app is signed thew same way - which means that it can only work with apps in /system making it impractical
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
So are you going to clarify?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] antijape:
1. Well, it seems that SwitchMe already does this too... So no need to clarify.

2. Yep, I just didn't notice this feature. Stupid me. Maybe this is an indication for a bit better help/faq feature. Maybe include some screen shots? Or maybe it's just me being blind.

3. Ok.

I quickly studied these "new found features" and found some odd behavior. I'll study some more (to avoid any more obvious/stupid questions) and get back then.

Sorry for the delay.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] antijape:
1. After boot/profile change first appears the android lock screen (and in my case asks pin code). The SwitchMe lock screen takes about 5-10 sec before it "overrides" the android one or if already unlocked the standard one then it just appears while for example using email program. Basically this leads to situation where system is used for few seconds and then the SwitchMe lockscreen comes up. You can actually do quite a lot in this 5-10secs and that's why its a bit annoying. Is there any way to boost or prioritise(is this english?) the SwitchMe load?

2. SwitchMe settings -> Switch screen settings -> System keyguard settings -> Set lock screen (translated from finnish) -> Enter pin code -> goes back to switch screen settings when should go to android lock screen settings. Minor bug, can get around easily, but still not the wanted behavior.

Suggestion: since I want to use pin code to unlock the device I cannot Replace the standard keyguard. And this leads to double unlocking. If SwitchMe lock screen would have some security features this could be avoided.

Clarification: what I meant with: "2. It would be nice to be able to choose the profile on startup." was to have this option before startup. Meaning right after you have pressed the power on, not after the system has actually loaded. This was also the reason why I stated it might be impossible to do.

Any issues with the new build?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] safir187:
i created a new profile and switched to it for the first time. but i didn't have SwitchMe pre-installed in the new rom. so i had to restore my nandroid backup (thank god i listened to you)

what am i doing wrong?

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

would it work if i install switchme manually? can i switch back to my default profile that way?

---------- Post added at 09:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 AM ----------

also, how does this work? does it totally switch the root?

i mean if i switch to a new profile and then flash, say CM9, it wouldn't do any harm to my default profile? is that how we're supposed to test roms with this?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
That doesnt seem possible... perhaps your new profile was not rooted? Because installing root outside /system will cause something like that.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] carandcar:
I'm so anxious to try this but I have not been successful in setting up a new profile. Whenever I switch to the new profile I get passed the splash and boot screens but my screen stays dark. I can see the items in the status bar (time, battery,etc.) and I'm able to pull the notification bar down but the screen itself is black. I'm running an ICS ROM on my mytouch 4g. I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Right i had a look, the dev is making it for personal use and doesnt explain whats in it. Your problem could be because of su outside /system or any init scripts or symlinks. Want to use this app? Use a mainstream rom, they usually dont have any silly stuff like that since its superfluous.

when i switch, the lock screen appears, i unlock once, and when the desktop is loading the lockscreen appaear once again.

in other world

i need to unlock twice when i switch.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
The lock screen or the switch screen? Or both?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] scoubi_doo:
hi,

when the tab reboot, i have the lockscreen (not the switchscreen), i unlock it.

when my profile is charged the tab, i return to the switchscreen and the lockscreen.

maybe i have to desable the lockscreen ?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
I would assume so, yes. Or you could disable "use switch screen at boot", since technically you dont actually need the switch screen - the point of this app is that you can use any method you like to unlock a profile, even different methods in each profile.

Pretty cool huh...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] kwikrick:
google's fault?

I'm not so sure it's not switchMe related, though it might not be switchMe's fault but rather Google's fault. I've had similar problem just after installing switchMe and creating a second profile. The second profile has a different google account, and it seems this confuses the google play store. I also get the error that Google Talk cannot authenticate. Maybe google assumes one google account per device?

I can fix the google play store for one profile by clearing it's application data and rebooting. But then the other profile will have the play store problems.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
You could try using titaniums market fixer... might be related somehow. I havent had any problems.

Or try not using fast switch, it can mess with system app data.

profile switching works a treat!

now if only it were possible to do it without rebooting but i guess thats to deep inside the OS :S

who knows maybe one day ;)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
If you use fast switch reboots should take around 10-15 seconds - actually aster than a windows log out/log in :)

Feedback would be appreciated!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] zulusik:
Experienced a strange bug yesterday.

I'm on a Galaxy Tab 8.9 WiFi 16GB with rooted stock ROM. I have two profiles - one admin and one not.

I was on the non-admin profile, checked the Play Store and saw that there's an update for SwitchMe, so I updated the app. A pair of hours later I started SwitchMe to switch the account, and everything was OK. I switched to the admin account (not Fast Switch), and worked there for some more. Then started SwitchMe to switch back to non-admin. Everything was fine, and I switched to non-admin.

Now, when I started SwitchMe, it said that there's no admin account selected and asked if I wanted to make this account admin. I answered "no", and saw that although my admin account was there, it had no name and no profile picture, and it wasn't marked as admin. I typed the name, changed the picture, made it admin, switched into it and back, and this time everything was normal again. It's ok now, but was quite strange :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Please, if things like that happen, send us logs with a description through the app. Its nigh impossible to fix issues based on forum posts...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] zulusik:

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] zulusik:
Have an issue again, this time much severe - after switching from non-admin profile to admin one, noticed I'm still in non-admin. Launched SwitchMe, and saw there were no profiles!!! Everything from my admin profile was lost :(

With Root Explorer I can see there's a folder ".profiles" in /data, with a file named .props (90 bytes) and two subfolders - 1 and 2, both containing only .props file (after first reboot there were lots of folders in 2, but after rebooting once more all were gone).

Have sent you a report from the app.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] zulusik:
UPDATE: Seems that all the lost info (at least I was able to distinguish /app, /data, /dalvik folders by their contents) is in Lost+Found - is there a way I can restore the lost profiles information? What file(s)/folder(s) do I need to restore to .profiles folder (or somewhere else) so that SwitchMe recognizes my profiles?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] zulusik:
Any help on the above?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
You mean you have discovered the original profiles? If yes, and youre on the same rom, put the data back in the data folder:

/sdcard/data/.switchme/.profiles
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] zulusik:
Unfortunately, the file and folder names for top level files and folders (those that were directly in data/.switchme/.profiles) was replaced by some alpha-numeric garbage. I can make a "guess" and recover the "main" folder names (e.g. data, apps, etc.), however I'm afraid it won't be so easy with switchme-specific file names.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Whatever you did... try not to do it again.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] zulusik:
I didn't do anything wrong - I just tried to restart into another profile. The files/folders were then recovered somehow by the system - they appeared in the "Lost+Found", but the names were not recovered - so probably something happened to the file system during the profile switching/restart.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
It would have been something you changed that led to this, as the rebuild is handled by android - I myself have an 8.9 and use SM copiously. My daily driver is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1435868 and i have never experienced anything like that in all the time ive been developing on this tab (good choice by the way).

What exactly happened during the switch? Describe it in detail.

Perhaps an update to some binary did not install correctly or something... hard to replicate so best advice is stick to cm and if it ever happens try to get some logs...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] zulusik:
I've sent you a bug report from within the app, with detailed description, but will describe it once more here:

The Tab is running stock rooted ROM. I have two profiles on the Tab - one for me (the admin profile), one for my wife/kids (non-admin). My profile has English language and all my accounts and programs I use, my wife's profile is in Russian, has her email account set up, and lots of games for kids. Since the profiles have different languages, I don't use fast switching (fast switching does not work correctly since the languages are different - if I use fast switching, the language does not change).

The tab was in my wife's profile, and I decided to switch to mine to do some work and to update the apps. I got into switchme, selected my profile, and clicked the "switch" button. The tab rebooted, then I noticed that the date/time on the lock screen is still in Russian. I unlocked the tab, and saw that all app/game shortcuts are from my wife's profile. I launched switchme, and there were no profile.

That's the whole story - I didn't do anything wrong/unusual.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Could the wife haver done something :)

Anyway, ill have a look.
