[HTC One X+] Diesel321:
I'm new to internal memory and assuming most of us are considering that last year the only phones that didn't have SD card slots were iPhones.

I'm told that when we do certain wipes through recovery it wipes everything except the folder(s) titled "SDcard" and it's contents. Which should save all music, photos, and other various files like downloads e.g. but the next file after "SDcard" is "storage" which contains a file named "SDcard0" with all of the same "parent" folders in the other "SD card" folder. So during a wipe would that be saved as well? Or is that considered the "on board" memory?

Also wondering with titanium backup you can zip your backups and make them into different file types. Does that make is possible to extract a backup, place it within a rom (before flashing) and then when you flash it all apps and everything saved within said TI file become "part of the Rom"?

Sorry, feel free to move this to Q&A

I realized after the fact that I should have put it there in the first place.

Firstly sorry for my english

I'll tried to explain my problem

I successfull to root my device but only the main user account but I can't obtain access root in others account.

How can I do this ?

At the moment you can't until Google updates that feature to allow that. The multiuser is in its infancy. We will just have to wait I guess.

Furthermore, it is not even possible to enable developer settings (via build no) for second users, right?

So, without USB-Debugging no adb to backup second user apps (w/ data) using the Toolkit..

Is there any chance to fully backup second user apps? Apart from nand of course, as I would like to backup/restore apps for a switch to CM10.

Superuser 3.3 now supports multi-user root... 3 modes... Owner only, Owner controlled & User controlled... I will post an update zip here once I built su & Superuser tonight!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djd338:
Wow... That would be truly amazing! Sounds like you are mod'ing the apps yourself, or are they updating to include the feature? I'm pumped at this possibility! Thanks craig!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigacgomez:
Nope... not my mod... official updates to Superuser... I've just built it with the new changes!!

Here you go... Superuser-3.3-arm.zip

Notable Changes (from Superuser 3.2):

1. Android 4.2+ multi-user support [3 mode -> Owner only, Owner controlled & User controlled]

2. Better handling of applications with multiple root (su) requests

Flashing using a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM). I recommend wiping data for the Superuser app and re-granting your root apps su access to avoid any problems.

NOTE: Even though Superuser 3.3 supports multiple users, you root apps may not... so there is no guarantee that all root apps will work fine in multi-user mode. For those app, you will need to wait for the app developers to update their apps to support multiple users.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KlipperKyle:
It sounds like the zips don't play very well together.

Boot into recovery.

Mount /system

Delete /system/app/Superuser.apk

Delete /system/bin/su (if it exists)

Delete /system/xbin/su (if it exists)

Clear the Dalvik cache to err on the safe side.

You should now be unrooted. (In fact you could boot up, and you should see there is no superuser app installed)

Now, just flash the superuser zip again to root your device.

get root for the main user- rootapps work-

so what is wrong?- had anybody a solution?

Kind regards

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KlipperKyle:
It sounds like you have Superuser 3.3 installed and working, right? In order to use Superuser 3.3 with another user account, you need to go to its preferences and change Multi-user Mode to something other than "Owner Only."

"Owner only" means that only the owner can su.

"Owner controlled" means that the owner is the only one who can set and deny root permissions. Any filters are applied to all users.

"User controlled" means that each user can define allow/deny filters. Only use this option if you really trust other users.

Don't update to the version of Superuser on the Play Store. The version on the Play Store is 3.1.3. You already have 3.3 flashed on your system partition. Because you won't need the version on the Play Store, you can also stay away from ChainsDD's Superuser Update Fixer. (The update fixer is for an entirely different issue than the one you have.)

If you have installed these packages, you should uninstall them.

For future reference:

I should have been clearer about deleting files in custom recoveries. If you use TWRP, there is a built-in file manager under the Advanced menu. If you use ClockworkMod, you should use ADB commands: (ADB is a tool found in the Android SDK)

adb shell
cd /system
ls -al
[I](You should see a bunch of directories. If not, make sure /system is mounted.
This is an option in one of the recovery menus; I can't remember which
one offhand.)[/I]
rm app/Superuser.apk
rm bin/su
rm xbin/su

Then reflash the Superuser zip.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1234556789:
I cant believe it- first it work, but a little later it was like before root acsess only for the main user. Not all like befor- now superuser allows the -not main user apps - to "work", but root is gone.- At last i am not really shure if it works at first or if i had tested the main user.

I am confused..

I will try to delete the files you said.... maybe that works.

edit: I have tested it once more: the result: all was fine-until i reboot . then the same than ever -no root for main user.

the way i go -

like your post i was using clockworkmod to delete and so on.

all went fine-

than i install superuser 3.3 .zip with nexus toolbox

and delete dalvik cache

Now all was fine- rootchecker notice both users are rooted both titanium backups works.

but after reeboot.....root for normal user gone

so i am not confused like i thought- but now dissapointed- half day for nothing.....:crying::crying::crying::crying:

Sv: [HELP] How to ROOT multi user

I cannot find a single thread about superuser v3.3. Cannot find anything about multiuser root that is working besides in this thread and this isn't really active. Is this for real or some hoax? Just want to be sure before flashing.

Skickat från min GT-P3110 via Tapatalk 2
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KlipperKyle:
Did you check the Multi-user setting in Superuser to make sure it isn't somehow being reset?

So from my understanding, this is what you did:

Set the Multi user user setting to something other than Owner only.

Verify root works for first user (owner).

Switch to second user account. Verify root is working.

Reboot

Repeat steps 2-3.

I tried this procedure, and everything works fine for me.

Try clearing your filters. Maybe there is something funky left over from who knows what.

Also, make sure you don't have any Google Play versions of the Superuser app installed. Find Superuser in the Play Store. If there is an Uninstall Updates button, tap it.

I never flashed Superuser using the Nexus Toolkit you mentioned. It came with the ROM I have (CyanogenMod). I have version 3.3 Build 2012-11-20 installed.

What ROM are you using?

If you have ADB or Terminal Emulator set up, will you please run the following: (I have the commands and expected output in the following listing)

u0_a41@android:/ # type su
su is /system/xbin/su
u0_a41@android:/ # ls -al /system/xbin/su
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 95912 Aug 1 2008 /system/xbin/su

It is funny that android terminal seems to see superSu -( not to see in Playstore)

- but i think if supersu realy is working - i had root.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KlipperKyle:
Here's the problem. The su binary you are using was left by SuperSu. Now the trick is to delete it and install the correct Superuser su binary...

Method 1: Through Recovery mode. You will need ADB set up on your computer. Boot into recovery, plug the device into your computer and issue the following commands:

adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/xbin/su

Then just flash the superuser zip again.

Method 2: Through Terminal emulator (This is hit or miss, but if it works, this is probably the easiest). Open up Terminal Emulator on the device and type:

su
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm /system/xbin/su

Reboot into recovery and flash the superuser zip.

Because you have the wrong su binary, the first command (su) may or may not work. If it doesn't, try Method 1.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1234556789:

I found a bug on this unmodify stock kernel. If I want to format cache partition i.e. wipe cache in CWM recovery it will give me an error. The cache partition will no longer work. I try to fix it by using different Ram disk from other ROM also try to use older version of CWM and the newer one but none of them can fix the issue. Lately Arakmar kindly advice it is a known bug in ICS stock ROM. He fix this issue in ICS14 by update mmc driver.

I remove the download link because I don't want people to blame me.

If you think this is a good kernel and want to use it I can add it back to the first post but need to warn people not to wipe cache.

I'm learning how to build kernel from source and successfully build a .55 kernel + new mmc driver which fixed partition formating issue. Because the fix is from advance stock kernel also the ram disk it is pretty close to advance stock kernel ICS17. There are some different but not much do you want to try?

Hmm. Could you please give little more detail how did you test. What is the governor you use?

Did you compare with unmodify stock or advance stock kernel?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
I've been using your kernel version 3 since last night with XTXperience 7. I can't really quantify how the battery drain is compared to the previous kernel (I was using Arakmar's Advanced Stock ICS 17 kernel), because I turned battery percentage off in the status bar and I use my phone quite irregularly (sometimes a lot, sometimes I don't touch it all day).

It "felt" a bit more thirsty though. As I said I can't prove it or say why, but that's just my feeling. The combination of XTXperience 7 with adv stock ics kernel 17 and tab'n'grid system ui was very battery friendly though, don't know how but it seems the system ui did that because without it, it drained a lot. Some apps seem to load a bit slower as well. Not that everything's sluggish, it's just the opening bit.

I also can't seem to find performance settings to change the governor. Do I need to install a separate app for that? I guess I'm just using the preinstalled governor now.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Install any CPU controller app.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tosa.th:
Yes you are correct the default governor is ondemand, It is the one that come .55 stock but I tweak some parameter a bit for battery saving. I got information from here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1369817

I'm not surprise that you feel a bit slower but it suppose to give more battery life.

To use PegasusQ you will need some app like setCPU to change governor.

I did not set PegasusQ as default because I'm not sure how it behave on Xperia s. For your info PeagsusQ is from Samsung!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
Yeah I feel a bit stupid now, a kernel wouldn't change the settings menu. I got used to the way it worked in CM10. Back on my ZTE Skate cpu control was also with a separate app on stock based roms, ofc it's the same here :). There were a few roms that integrated No-Frills-Cpu in the settings though, but that's on rom level, not kernel. I'll try PegasusQ as a governor then.

Also, am I right in understanding that SuperSU only gets installed when the phone isn't rooted yet? Because I still have Superuser (coming from Arakmar's kernel). I know how to replace it manually though, doesn't matter. SuperSU looks a bit more flashy (Superuser is a bit more Gingerbread-like), but once I set my apps that require root access up, you don't see any difference.

I'll report back about the battery performance, maybe cook up a testing procedure that allows for a better comparison :).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tosa.th:
Yes. there is a script in ramdisk to check "autorooted" file. If file present it won't re-root.
