Good news ;)

I just bought the app, because this is a feature requested in android since a long time and I think this is a really good start and I want you to still improve the app! Like switching without reboot or have a lockscreen with the possibility to switch profile :)

It's just bad that the average people can't use it because it require root, but I understand you have to follow Android limitation... Anyway, you did a good job!

Here's my test so far:

Clone current profile => Woking ( takes a while but I had a lot of apps )

Create new profile => Working

Fast Switching => Working

Problems or questions:

- Bubbleator "live wallpaper" seems to crash after a "profile switch" but to be honest it can crash by itself easy... lol

- Is it normal I can Access pictures/video folders of other profile ? ( if it is, that could be great to have an option to "lock" a folder so only the "owner" will be able to access the files )

- The "Asus" apps installed by default like SuperNote or mylibrary (ebook reader) seems to have access to notes or books stored in other profile ( again maybe this is normal )

I don't understand how the space usage is displayed..In one of my new blank profile there's 53.29mb available for apps same for data and same for Dalvik and it's filled at 84%. In another new blank account it's 246.54mb available for every categories.. So why the space allocated to each profile is different and when/how this is determined ? Is it fixed ?

That's pretty it, thanks for this good work! And thanks in advance for your answer!

Is there anything else to test ?

Problems with games

Hello,

I haven't try games in my previous test. After few profile switchover I can't play all fullscreen games.

I got problems with:

Tinytower (not tablet optimised), Zen pinball, Shine runner, they all crash at sometimes during the loading, 2-3 seconds after the program start or during game play. I can't say if it's the game itself having problem, but I can tell you tinytower as never crashed on my device before and I have played Zen pinball 2-3 times and it was ok.

Example of game that still work: mx moto, Angry Birds, Tank Riders, Air Attack HD, SiegeCraft THD. So far I haven't got any problems with normal apps other than games...

Most of the games seems to run ok... I don't understand why few of them are crashing.

Does SwitchMe will use more "ram" for other profile or it just don't have a footprint at all once you switch and "reboot" ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fafrehugen:
Fullscreen games? Maybe you have them on the SD in some broken ways? For me every game works just fine.

Galaxy Tab 8.9, KANG
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Arsenick:
Yeah forget about the fullscreen.. lol it's just my bad english. I tried to reboot the device and the games worked again. It appear to happend when I do several consecutive profile switch. I will try to reproduce tonight and let you know if this happen again. The games wasn't on the sd because I have no "external storage" on my tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bigguy1921:
I have been using the paid SwitchMe for a week or so now and have 3 profiles. One for my wife and me along with a "guest" account, so far its been great, I would, however, like to have an icon or section that would show the memory taken per user. That would be killer for me to see it visually at a glance like that.

My one question with the app as is I get toast notifications granting the app superuser access from time to time long after booting. It's the only app I have that does that. Not a problem at all, just curious about it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] taulard:
Works great here

Hello,

Succesfully rooted and created 3 profiles with switchme.

Everything works smoothly, from clone to fresh profile.

Fast switching works great, no problem so far...

One question though: I though there was a widget to switch profile... I need to go to the app (through notification's bar shortcut) to switch profile. Anything like that planned?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ftgg99:
If you like it, please leave a rating or review on the market, they help us a lot!

Yes, there will be a Call Master style (its another of our apps with a powerful widget, have a look) switching and info widget. Next release will be today or tomorrow.

For the peeps who wanted a lockscreen, we have almost completed work on that as well.

The daemon will not always start at first run.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rimoth:
Excellent.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ftgg99:
Any issues to report or is everything working flawlessly as usual?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] barryflanagan:
All good!

This is no way to run software development :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cmat1120:
First off it is working great for me no problems or hiccups of any kind. I do have a question though. I am not sure I fully understand how it works. I want to know does it actually create an entire new installation of android or does it share the same os between different users? The reason I ask is because I want to know if I can install ICS and HC at the same time?

Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ngough:
I can say that this app is working flawlessly. In regards to the tinytower game, I believe the issue lies with something else (on the TinyTower side). I'm experiencing the crashing as well, so bad that even after a reinstall, cache/data clear, it is still a no go. It also warns you that this is an "untested" device. SwitchMe is working great, I went and bought the pro edition. Very excited for the lockscreen and widget :-D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ftgg99:
How it works is explained in the help. It only creates multiple copies of the same OS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ftgg99:
SwitchMe 1.2 has been rolled out and now includes a lockscreen replacement:

1.2

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!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rimoth:
Excellent - will install tonight and report back.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ftgg99:
1.2.2 - HOTFIX 2

Reworked widget on qHD+ displays

Fixed widget text on HC and ICS

Fast switch improved on older devices
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ronde90:
Hi. Have been using the pro version of the app and love it! I have been having one problem though, I can't seem to get lock screen controls to work even after enabling the in switchme Do I have to download another app from the market or what? Thanks for all the help

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

Wait, never mind, I figured it out haha. All in all I love the app. I have been using it for a while now with no problems whatsoever. It switches between profiles quickly which is awesome. I do have a few suggestions for future builds, specifically with the lockscreen:

- Have the option to set a custom background like on the normal lock screen

- Have the option to set a custom picture for each profile (like in windows)

- Have option to add user information on lock screen like on the ICS lock screen

Aside from that, great app; getting the full key was a solid investment on my part. Keep up the great work!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ftgg99:
Well we already had the first two suggestions on our todo list, the third you will have to expand on... what information?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ronde90:
With the Prime ICS stock lock screen, you have the option to add owner info that will be displayed, like your name, phone or email. You can put any text you want into that section, I just choose to do those so that in the event that I ever forget my tablet at the library, someone would be able to turn on the screen and contact me (hopefully) as to return it to me. I hope that helps you understand what I am talking about. Thanks again and look forward to future updates!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rimoth:
My expectation was for a widget to be added to the existing lockscreen which would allow you to select the user profile.

I guess it may not be possible to hook into the standard lockscreen hence your replacement lockscreen?

Apart from the previous suggestions, I think a scrollable list of users would be best by default without free typing the profile name.

A number keypad would be great for those with a numeric password. Likewise for a pattern lock, but I appreciate the overhead of coding that.

I selected the replace keyguard option, but this did not work, but I believe this is because I have a work exchange email account which enforces the keyguard. Word of caution to other Exchange users.

Small point is keyguard the correct terminology? I thought lockscreen might be more suited.

Some of the text in the lock options says " unblocking" where unlocking might be suited. When in the main app one of the button says "switch", whereas a long press on user name lists option to "activate", not saying which one is more suited.

Not being pedantic, just want to improve usability.

Btw, I have all the lockscreen options checked, might this be the preferred default?. The app appears to work perfectly - good skill! Fast switching is faster. Anyway to avoid a reboot when switching to make it even faster?

Great Application!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ftgg99:
Regarding exchange, that complete nonsence, exchange has no permissions to do anything. Also, the lock screen and keyguard are different things.

If you want true security you should be using both the lockscreen and the standard android keyboard!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ronde90:
Hi. So I did the OTA update and forgot to turn off the password protection on SwitchMe. Now I am locked out of my Prime and it won't recognize my profiles since root is not present. Is there a way that I can uninstall SwitchMe via ADB? I really don't want to have to do a factory reset and restore everything using Titanium; Its a pain!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] b3er:
try this:

adb uninstall fahrbot.apps.switchme

Just tried it and it worked! Thanks for all the help; you're a life saver.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] barryflanagan:
Hi ftgg99

With the (great!) new lock screen feature it looks like, if you select Automatic logoff, it is logging you off when the display gets turned off according to the setting in Settings -> Display -> Sleep

Would it not be better to instead use the "Settings -> Security -> Automatically Lock" setting, which determines how long you want to wait before locking the screen?

The reason is, I have my display time out after 2 mins to conserve battery, but have my Security time-out set to 30 minutes after sleep. This stops me having to keep re-entering the pin/password every single time the display times out.

I realize that some people may not have a lock pattern set up (silly people) and therefore the security time-out might not be set, but if it is set, it seems to me this is a better timer to use.

Many thanks.

-Barry
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ftgg99:
There is no timer per se - and what you suggest should be an option in the form of "lock timeout" instead. That is a good idea.

But people in your situation should just log off using the widget or notification for now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ftgg99:
Any other comments guys? Keep the suggestions coming!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
Hmm I'll look into this. I'm probably gonna have to root to get Order and Chaos to work so it would be awesome to have my Warrior backing up my Mage on quests lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ftgg99:
Right... feedback please!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ebatsky:
I've got this running on my Prime with 4.0.3 for a day now. Got a profile for myself and girlfriend and it's been working great.

Some of the things I would really like to see:

- the ability to log off/switch profile from the lock screen. Even though there is an option for this in the setting, it doesn't seem to work. I am using the Pattern lock screen and the only thing I can do there is enter the pattern. It'd be nice if it had some kind of widget or options there where I can either log off or switch to a different profile.

- "log off on lock" works but the password screen isn't very pretty and like some other people mentioned, it would be really nice to have pattern-like login screen instead of having to type in a password. Then it could truly be a replacement for the lock screen itself.

- When I created a 2nd profile I had to add my gmail account onto it in order to install SwitchMe key. I removed the account afterwards (since this profile is meant to be used by someone else) but it would be nice if SwitchMe Key also installed itself onto any profile if it exists.

Otherwise great job and looking forward to updates :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ickk:
hopefully this app will let me use honeycomb on the side so I can play mc3 again :)

edit: both are ics :(

any way I can change the second profile to hc?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ftgg99:
It says "multiple secure logins" not "multiple different roms".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ebatsky:
When using Tune-In radio, if you sign into it with one switchme profile, it will show as not signed in on the other profiles but it will still show presets and such from the first one. It will not allow you to sign into a different profile and says that the "device is already associated with an account".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ftgg99:
So its just cosmetic?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ebatsky:
Well, there is no way to have multiple tune-in radio accounts associated with a single device, even with switchme at this point. So it's not just cosmetic.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ftgg99:
Oh really... i would have thought that signing into another account would do it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ebatsky:
Tune-in radio won't let you sign in when you're in another account. It shows that you're not signed in (yet behaves like you are) and if you try to sign in, it says that the device is already associated with an account. You can try it yourself, the tune-in radio app is free.

Concerning the changes in the new version:

- The new login screen is a step in the right direction, but unfortunately the fonts seem to be white or something, so you can't see any text with the default transformer prime wallpaper. So it's not really usable with that background.

- The widget is now 2x2 which is annoying cause it takes up too much room. At least make it resizable?

Every time transformer prime updates (3 times this month) they remove root. Even if you have things like OTA Rootkeeper, they don't restore root automatically... you have to go and open them and click the button. The problem is, switchme is gonna lock the screen as soon as it gets loaded up and it doesn't see any of the profiles. This becomes really annoying. Turning off password protection, keyguard options, etc, doesn't work, the only way around this is to uninstall switchme before the update. Otherwise you need to somehow enable usb debugging (luckily asus sync enables it when you connect to a pc) and uninstall using adb. We need some kind of work around for this. e.g. if switchme doesn't find root, it should log into default profile or something. Or at least provide option for this.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ftgg99:
What do you think of yesterday's update?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ebatsky:
They are good improvements. However,

- the widget now LOOKS smaller, but it's still 2x2 which means I can't put it in line with other shortcuts/widgets, it has a bunch of empty space around it.

- I don't know how to switch profiles using the new theme? I tried it out and I can see the text now prompting to enter the password and such (though the buttons do look sort of transparent), but even though there are two icons for the two accounts I have (with no labels, or invisible labels), it doesn't matter which one I click on, it will just log me into the active account.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ftgg99:
Did you upgrade to KANG? That widget thing is a cm error that we cant to anything about...

Regarding logging - that should not be happening. Are you certain they are not clones?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ebatsky:
I just tried the new version and the new theme screen appears to work - I just didn't realize that you had to drag the lock icon over to the profile icon to log in. I thought it would've been more intuitive to tap on one to select it, but whatever.

The widget thing is odd, because in the early version you had a 1x1 widget that worked perfectly. Then it got changed to 2x2, and now its 2x2 that looks like 1x1. Any chance for the older 1x1 to make a comeback, maybe as an option?

There's a bug that's transformer prime specific. In the new login theme screen, I can't type in the password with the keyboard. The onscreen keyboard also doesn't come up of course. (I am using android keyboard instead of asus one as the onscreen one). If I detach the tablet from the dock then the switchme application will come up in the background behind the login screen, but then I am able to use the onscreen keyboard to type the password in. It's quite strange.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ftgg99:
Whatever indeed. Your passwword issue was fixed at 4am yesterday. Regarding the widget - when it was 1x1, were you using the official prime build or kang? Because the issue as far as i can tell is with kang, which returns a handset, not tablet value.

I just installed this app and setup and admin and guest account however I soon realized that now many USB to pc stopped working. Ive tried over 4 different computers and nothing. I uninstalled still hopefully it works again but any ideas what that would just happen?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ftgg99:
USB to PC? You mean mtp?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drewskee:
I mean when i unplug the cable from the charger and plug it in to the computer nothing happens...i can plug it in the charger and it charges but my computer does not "see" the prime anymore. It was wierd as I watched my pc monitor i could see the device connecting then disconnecting and finally it just stopped connecting and no matter where I plug my prime with the cable not 1 computer recognizes any type of hardware..im stumped as this never happened b4 and now that i uninstalled the app and rebooted the prime it still does not work. If you have any clue as to why this happened let me know and I did have my prime connected to the PC while the app was running and while i was switching between "profiles"..IDK if thats what caused it but thats the only explanation I can think of at the current moment as thats when this happened.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ftgg99:
Obviously, its not the app if uninstalling didn't help...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drewskee:
I guess.. just wierd that it happend while using it so i hoped this was a known issue or somthing..thanks for the app hopefully ican resolve this and try to dl again as having a guest account is quite nice.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ftgg99:
Its probably something innocuous, try rebooting.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drewskee:
Yeah ive tried...When the app creates the 2nd profile does that affect the internal memory at all like partitioning? Thanks for the quick response
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ebatsky:
I've never used anything other than the official prime build on the prime. As far as I know the boot loader is still locked so you can't really install anything else on the prime...
