Cannot go back to primary user

Hi all, first post here!

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note (N7000) running Cyanogen 4.3 (most recent nightly build) and successfully managed to increase the max number of users and to create/remove users using the Terminal Emulator. All additional users seem to work correctly, each with their own appdata.

One minor issue: I found that the only way to switch from primary to another user is pressing the power menu to bring up the list of additional users, and from there it works correctly (the "switch user" tile in the quick settings panel doesn't appear to work at all).

One bigger issue: once in a secondary user it seems impossible to switch to any other user, simply because the power menu does not show any user. There is an option (for primary) in settings>buttons>power menu called "profile switcher", but the "buttons" item has disappeared for the secondary users (disabled?). With this, I am left with having to reboot the phone whenever I need to switch away from a secondary user. Someone in this forum mentioned that the lock screen needs to be in landscape... I can rotate the desktop (with Nova) or the drawer, but cannot find out how to rotate the lockscreen (even with auto-rotate on).

Any idea?;)

Last, I downloaded the "user management" application mentioned in the forum, but when loading it appears blank (no user detected) so no chance to use the options to switch or remove (only "create" works, in sense that a new user is added, but won't show in the app).

Other than this thanks a million to all contributors!

Cheers!

Not working on GT p5100

Hi there,

I tried to enable multi user in the terminal window. After then a new line appeared in Settings menu.

After I press "Add User" the screen goes black and says "Settings has stopped."

So for me this is not working. I also tried the app but it does the same.

I'm running Android 4.2.2 on a rooted Samsung GT-P5100

Basebaned-version: P5100XXDMG1
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LightRider_:
Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Rayan:
Same goes with the LG G2 (D801). I got to the point of enabling the multi user feature, but when I try to create a user under Terminal, it errors out. User Management app does not work either (blank screen). I disabled the crippled Guest Mode on the g2 but still no go.

On my Galaxy Note it works incredibly well though.

Anyone?

Not working on HTC1X CM10.2 or G Nexus2 4.3

I tried the following terminal commands on both my Android 4.3 phones, one crashed, one just returned back to the terminal. All commands were successful except the last one.

My HTC One X is running CynogenMod 10.2 nightly from 10 Nov 2013. It rebooted on the last command with no change.

My Samsung Galaxy Nexus is running ASOP 4.3. It just returned to the terminal after the last command with no change.

I was using this terminal app on the device itself. "Android Terminal Emulator Jack Palevich"

Here are the commands

I hope that helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 3c274:
good info, thx for sharing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] petesimon:
works!

it works on Jiayu G4 Advanced phone, with android 4.2.1.

I ran these commands in adb shell (terminal emulator app also okay):

adb shell
su
pm get-max-users
setprop fw.max_users 5
pm create-user Guest
setprop lockscreen.rot_override true

other good commands to run after you create one or more users to show details about users' names, files, possible email passwords, etc ...

replace # with the right user number. I used "10" so it might be the number for the second user (first user after the owner).

pm list users
ls -la /data/user
ls -la /data/system/users
ls -la /data/system/users/#
more /data/system/users/#.xml
sqlite3 /data/system/users/#/accounts.db
[INDENT].tables
SELECT * FROM accounts;
.exit
[/INDENT]

get the sqlite3 static arm binary (mirror link)

added these to /system/build.prop file for permanent effect after reboots. Use a buildprop editor from google play store:

fw.max_users 5
lockscreen.rot_override = true

and reboot.

On the lockscreen, tilt the screen landscape style and there should be at least two circular user icons at the bottom under the keypad. Pick one and enter any unlock code and go Menu > System Settings > Users and change user properties. Problem: some data is shared among accounts, so all users see all gallery photos, music and files store on the internel and external sdcard's :eek: What's the deal here?

*EDIT* -- Better method with Xposed Framework and Modaco Toolkit module in this post here

*note: the tablet/phone device needs root access. some sqlite commands take from this blog.

Howdy. Have you tried "SwitchMe" app? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.switchme&hl=en

---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------

It does come up with a screen showing multiple users' avatars as small circular icons at the bottom of my screen. I just have to hold the device in landscape orientation for 2 seconds, press on an avatar and unlock the device based on that user's lock preference. :D Have you figured this out for your devices? See my post #169 on page 17.

Hello Petesimon,

Just tried Switchme App.

App looks fine but my language settings also changed after rebooting my device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] petesimon:
Howdy Bru.

Awh bummer! :eek: On which device again? There must be some rc script, xml file or other text file that can be edited to change multi user behavior. But I'm only brave to edit system files on my linux computer, not my phone. Maybe hire some Minions (despicable me) to data mine inside your phone. :silly:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] petesimon:
Xposed framework, and Modaco Tookit app

For the devices that have trouble with command line hack or multi user simply does not seem to work right, then this multi user via Xposed Framework and Modaco Toolkit could work, and very nicely/easily. No tilt to landscape needed, just hold power button until you see the popup menu. Follow instructions carefully, and it should work for most phones with Android 4.2.x +. It works on my Jiayu G4A chinese phone.

Be sure to add this line to your /system/build.prop file:

fw.max_users 3

Download Xposed from here.

Download Modaco Tookit from here.

After setting up and installing, then reboot.

Hi everybody

i need an info: if I switch to ICS, i will lose all settings for all configurations of the tablet? Eg. My tablet has some business programs (installed by my company), if I install ICS I'll lose everything and need to return to the office to reinstall those SW? Or if I use Titanium Backup I can fix it and reinstall everything "as if nothing had happened", recovering program settings as before switching to ICS??

Installing ICS Rom, you lose everything on your tab data and SD files so create backup...
[HTC EVO 3D] jerwolfe:
I have The sprint CDMA EVO 3D it was running the latest version of gingerbread and i had the bootloader unlocked running Hboot 1.50. I had team win recover version 2.0 installed as my recovery on the phone. All of the rest on the phone was all left at stock so there were no extra roms, it was the original HTC rom on the phone. So i was trying to flash the update through Teamwin 2.0 and it gave an error message after it unpacked everything saying "E: unknown command [firmware]". So i rebboted the system and now it will not even go past the HTC bootloader but it will still boot into fastboot and recovery. Is there anything i can do to get my phone back or what should i do!?!? Thanks for all your help!

If you can't get into fastboot or recovery, then I think your on your way to a sticky at the top of the development thread about being able to recover your phone.

I would also remove the battery for 10 min, hold down the power button. Reinsert battery, try to get into hboot and recovery and flash a backup.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zj4x4:
The S3 is the first phone that I had serious plans to integrate into my car to use for more convenient navigation, stereo audio (via A2DP), etc. I've connected it with some success but it doesn't quite work as well as I had hoped. I didn't see another thread on the topic so I thought I'd start a thread where everyone could share their tips/tricks/best practices. Here is my setup and issues:

I have a 2009 Murano LE that has bluetooth but the BT system does not support A2DP. The purchase of the Galaxy S3 coincided with the expiration of my warranty so I installed the Neo Audio GV1 setup to add A2DP (and other features). I use the Infuse 4G car mount.

The car mount works well but one complaint I have is that there's no easy way to get back into "car mode" (the S Voice thing) if I leave the S Voice app for any reason. My current solution is to quickly pop the sliding charger but of the mount out and back in.

What apps/configurations do others out there use?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TLS2000:
I went with a Pioneer AppRadio2. It's what I view as the current leader for an integrated solution.

It uses Bluetooth for phone calls and touch screen control. The display uses HDMI to connect to the phone.

It has downsides. Number one is that it's buggy as ****. It also only allows you to control approved apps directly through the radio.

There are some really high quality apps though.

I have an ELM327 Bluetooth adapter for my OBD2 connector on the car. On my phone I run DashCommand which the AppRadio controls directly. I have real time fuel economy as well as many other readings available to me directly on the AppRadio as well as the ability to run diagnostics and pull and clear trouble codes. All of this can be done through the radio/phone combo.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] waryww:
omg, i've been looking for someone who has this phone with appradio 2. i absolutely hate the appradio 2. The bluetooth OBD2 seems interesting with dash command. There seems to be 2 kinds on ebay, the 1.5v and 2v?

I'm trying the infuse 4G car dock but the audio doesn't come out of the micro usb port for audio. it will only connect if I use the MHL connector directly. i'm also worried if I use CM10 it wont' be compatible with the appradio 2 anymore?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TLS2000:
The reason the Infuse dock won't work for you is that Samsung changed the pinout on the S3 for MHL. It's now an 11-pin connector instead of 5.

For the OBD2 I got the v1.4b Elm adapter as Elm says that there is no newer version that they've created. It works really well.

I haven't tried CM10 because I'm certain that it doesn't support MHL. CM9 didn't support it on my Skyrocket either. It's a shame really, because CM9 fixed all of the Bluetooth bugs that the Touchwiz version of ICS seems to have.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sublimejosh2000:
I have the Infuse dock and audio works perfect... there is an option in dock settings to route the audio through the USB...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zj4x4:
Interesting - I need to find this. I thought this wouldn't work until Jelly Bean. Does your car have steering wheel volume/track control and does this work in conjunction with the USB connection?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] the_buzz_man:
Settings---->Dock---->Audio output mode

Make sure it is checked for audio through the Infuse dock.

the_buzz_man
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] waryww:
yeah I switched it and still doesn't work. I'm guessing it's not using all the pins on the Dock that the MHL uses.

Headunit > MHL > s3 works

Headunit > MHL > 4G infuse car dock > phone /w enabled dock speaker setting or not, doesn't work

this is now just a "holder" for my phone. I guess what people meant when they said it worked on the phone is that without MHL and the 3.5mm audio jack works. Apparently I need lower end equipment for this to be compatible.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zj4x4:
I had the same experience when I tested last night, but I wasn't sure if the issue was with the Neo system where the USB is connected or not. I'm guessing based on your feedback that the dock is the issue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zj4x4:
sublimejosh - just to be clear, when you mentioned the Infuse dock's USB audio out functionality you didn't specifically mention that you were using this. Are you? If so, what system/device do you have the other end of the USB cable connected to?

Dude this topic belongs to Q&A.

All stock (original samsung) and stock based roms have MHL support. It doesn't work on AOSP/CM9/AOKP roms. (RR - phone screen can be displayed but it freezes immediately).

I bought a cheap one and I couldn't make it work. Once I got my money refund I purchased the original one and voila!

1) Plug hdmi cable to mhl adapler

2) Plug charger/usb cable to mhil adapter and next to the power outlet/computer

3) Connect adapter to micro usb port of your phone

4) Setup your digital TV.

5) Optional. Sometimes you may have to reboot your device.

Why would your warranty be void because of it?

If you need to take it in to repair, just flash stock image (if you can) and relock the bootloader.

There's a tool to relock bootloader on the device. You can even reflash stock recovery from the device and then relock the bootloader.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mortenmhp:
Typically the difference is localized customizations so yes you would loose the Arabic support on ics, however it seems Arabic support was added to jelly bean so that shouldn't be a problem.

Personally i lost the proper Danish dictionary, however as I was using SwiftKey anyway, I didn't mind.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoadHazard:
Really, you had a Danish dictionary on ICS? There has never been a Swedish dictionary on the GNex (neither on yakjuxw or yakju), and everything else seems to be exactly the same as well, so I honestly have no idea what takes Samsung so long when approving the updates (what exactly are they approving?!). From what I can tell, them handling the updates for the Swedish GNex is nothing but a waste of everyone's time, and I'm a much happier GNex user since I switched to yakju.

(I also use SwiftKey, so not having a Swedish dictionary by default isn't really an issue.)
