[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex_uz:
If anyone if still interested, I found something: It seems that the multi-user feature of Android is only available for tablets at this time. Hence it is not present on the Galaxy S4. I just posted this for reference so people could find this in future.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eweezy12:
Yes... but I'm having the same problem on my galaxy tab 2 7". Cant find an option to set up multiple users either
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MorrisC2010:
Re: Multi User support

Actually multi user is available, although hidden, for any phone with 4.2 or later. Although you need to be rooted. Add "fw.max_users 4" to the end of your build.prop and reboot. When you enter your settings you'll see clear as day "Users". Only bug I found is that you can't switch back and forth. You need the AOSP lockscreen for that.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djboy:
Where are the options for the switching?

I have the latest AOSP kitkat update and don't see how I can do it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MorrisC2010:
If you're on an aosp rom, You can switch either from the lockscreen(you may have to enable lockscreen rotation and rotate the phone sideways), the power menu, or the status bar profile icon
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mephisto20:
hi guys,

is there any possibility to use multi user without flashing a rom ?

any ideas ?

thanks

[XDA-University] Guich:
Good job! :)

I think you can add in op this command:

adb remount

This command remount the /system partition in read/write

adb usb

Restarts the adbd daemon listening on USB

adb shell

Run remote shell interactively

adb devices

List all connected devices

Anh, adb will work in recovery too, write it in op if you want :)

A little suggestion, from a guy used to Linux. Beginners are always lost with shells, so for this one :

Why not proposing some shell commands to explain a little about this adb feature ?

Or you can add a paper/article about it, such as this one : http://www.fortystones.com/40-linux-shell-commands-beginners/
[XDA-University] aojk:
It's cool , thank you.

[XDA-University] Bigbabyjesus:
I was wondering about the adb commands I would use to push a Deodexed /system/app and /system/framework onto my phone? I can't find the path when running adb in recovery and not sure I'd I can just push it while Android is running. Any help or direction on where to read up would be appreciated.
[XDA-University] vikraminside:
Were you able to su from adb in recovery? Else your phone may not be system dir mounted and usb driver mounted.

You can use adb while running. Root your phone for better results.
[XDA-University] justin1701:
I've never used adb, but I'm familiar with rooting/recoveries, blah blah blah. What state does the phone need to be in to use it?
[XDA-University] strainhunter:
You use it when android is booted. And you have to activate usb-debugging.

In some custom recoverys you can also use a feature callen "adb-sideload" where you can push files to the device while in recovery.

[XDA-University] Guich:
In this folder there is adb and fastboot, and you can use all the adb command :)

Download :)
[XDA-University] majdinj:
Nice mate but you could add small notification here that these commands will only work properly if you have patched adbd binary in your android device (ro.secure=0 in default.prop or insecure adbd installed) and not only su binary (in adb push, you will need patched adbd only if you want to push to protected partition like system partition even if it is mounted as read and write..!!).

adb root

adb remount

These 2 command are fair on most devices but some are funky..!!! so you may need another command to remount partition as read and write.

example:

adb shell "su" "" "mount -o remount,rw [B][COLOR="Red"]/system[/COLOR][/B]"

This will efficiently mount system partition as read and write (you can put any partition name instead of /system for e.g, /preload)

Again adb is very powerful tool especially for debugging, direct pushing and installing of apps. Many tools here in xda are born with help of adb engine, so make sure to use and consume it to the last drop ;)

i am a total noob with this and am trying to run some adb commands on my galaxy gear. ive been recommended to use this guide. thanks for producing it. however, as a total noob im struggling and am begging for some help.

ive downloaded the 32 bit file, unzipped it and ran the sdkmanager.exe file. its taken ages to complete and it said i should shut it down.

here is where i am struggling the guide says go to the platform-tools folder and use shift + right click the mouse and select open command window here.

firstly i am not seeing all the files in that folder that the op is showing and secondly i am not sure which file i should be right clicking on to select open command window here? I basically cannot get the command window to open.

i only need to be able to enter these commands

$ adb shell

$ su

# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p20 /system

# rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p

i would really appreciate any help ive been struggling with this for four hours and im gonna get divorced soon.

tia!
[XDA-University] TagEHeuer:
You go into the folder and press shift and right click somewhere away from the folder. It won't work if you try to do it on an actual file or folder. If you're still struggling I'll post Screenshots of where you need to click to get the command window open.

Thanks to doctor_droid and everyone that has contributed to this thread !! :good:

In case this helps someone else, when I typed adb devices, the list of devices was blank. After numerous searches on Google, my problem was that I did not have the Google USB driver installed. After installing it, all was well

ADB Devices

If I am not wrong, adb works only with one device.

*List all connected devices*

It will stop with an error saying that adb cannot connect with two or more devices and hence, will not list all the devices.

I personally never faced this error and can't say the *correct statement* of that error.

ADB question

So after working with Android phones (and even using ADB) for quite some time I finally read the ADB primer that Doctor Droid has thoughtfully posted. I knew some of the capabilities of ADB before this and now believe I understand more of them. I am specifically wondering if ADB will allow those of us with stock unrooted phones to replace the platform.xml file used in 4.4.2 that had changed the external SD card permissions to one that removes those restrictions. There are some times that you'd like to fix that "feature" but not root the phone (can you say Wife's phone?) and this looks like it may hold the key to that. Am I going in the right direction?

Hiya, I just wanted to create a backup with ADB, worked fine once before, but now I can't get past the "Now unlock your device and confirm the backup operation." The screen to confirm shows up on my phone (HTC m8, Android 5.0.1, USB Debug activated), but I can't click on "Backup now" (not the exact wording), it will only let me do "Do not create backup", or sometimes I can't press either of them. In the latter case, I need to kill the adb server. This happens both, via USB connection and via Wi-Fi. Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

Thanks,

- reboots the device, optionally into the bootloader or recovery program

adb reboot [bootloader|recovery]

- remove this app package from the device remove this app package from the device ('-k' means keep the data and cache directories)

On radios, I am on Vipler XL 3.8 and playing with the radios in viper, wondering now which is best , a high or low dbm? I have tried 2 or 3 but the signal bar,speed test remain the same on most of the radios but the dbm goes up and down, so now I am wondering which is the better reception high or low?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
A signal of -60dBm is nearly perfect, and -112dBm is call-dropping bad. If you're above about -87 dBm, Android will report a full 4 bars of signal.*
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Herc08:
The closer you are to zero (counting down in the negatives) the better the signal. It with never be positive.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] leesumm:
Ok, I think I get it now, contradicting AT&T's commercial on "more is better". More is NOT better, the less dbm is better than more. I still don't get AT&T though, using the app "Network Signal Info". It shows the tower at about 3.5 miles on the map and if that is right I can almost see the tower then by line of sight, also its showing the signal at HSPA . I have used the 4 radios listed on the Viper hub and all are around -92 dbm, the lowest at -93 the highest at -99. My area in Arkansas is terrible for cell phone reception and I was trying to find the best but I guess there isn't a "good" radio for here.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Actually, more is better. Remember we're dealing with negatives here, so -60db is more than -97db.
[General Questions and Answers] pprahul2003:
Hi Guys/Experts,

I have installed a custom Rom from the link given by one of our good experts.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2241178

I have noted few problems in it... I would like to highlight them and need some expert comments with resolution.

1) Move to SD card option not working- Whenever I try to use this option Phone Reboots automatically and task is not performed. I even tried to do the same with Titanium Back up still same issues. (Need an immediate resolution to this considering the amount of internal storage available the phone)

2) Apex launcher doesn't work (one solution is already there in above post. As a alternate solution i would say to go to System/Apps and re-install the Apex Launcher.apk)

3) Some Camera Problem was mentioned in the above post- I haven't faced it as I barely use Camera- Still I would say if we can be provided with some update zip file to fix this.)

4) Considering the low amount if Ram is available I would like to request the experts to enable the kernel support for SWAP so that people can enjoy some good virtual ram to play games.

5) Now Stock ROM is available, I would request all our good experts if they can tweak the same (removing all the bloatware) and useless apps which consume RAM. So that we can get maximum Storage Plus RAM to use. Technically a rooted ROM with no or very few apps- So that people may want to install what ever way they want.

6) Inbuilt next launcher is something I would appreciate.If we can get inbuilt swift keyboard as well would be much more appreciable.

7) Only one expert is attached to Development of Xolo A700. I would request other experts to please contribute. As this is one of the best budget phone available. More Expert Minds make this product globally Renowned.

8) Jelly bean update is not yet arrived for this model. I heard company have launched Xolo A1000 jelly bean. Cannot ensure they will bring update for xolo A700.

9) While playing game like contract killer2. Apps automatically shut down after some time. Please help to resolve this.

Expert, Please provide your comments to make this thread live and Users, Please share your problems while using stock roms.

Thank You

Rahul

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] rfail1988:
I am considering getting a HTC One but one of my reservations is that I use Apex launcher and am wondering about the two softkey layout of the phone. with there being no menu button, is there that annoying menu bar always on the bottom when using 3rd party launchers? If not, how can you access that menu on this phone?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] craighwk:
I think you mean the three dot settings button, right? Yah, it will display a bar at the bottom of the screen with the buttons. However, you can install a custom rom that will remove the bar and allow you to long press the back button to open that menu.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] rfail1988:
Bummer. Are there any other launchers that dont have the menu bar at the bottom, without rooting? Its not that I am afraid of rooting, but I dont want to mess with my phone's basic functionality right out of the box.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] 3NE:
Use XPOSED MOD it has a module to remove 3-dot menu.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
I am using the Apex launcher, and there is no black "three dots" at the bottom. It works fine.

On the other hand, I tried the Go Launcher EX, and that one I had to uninstall because it did have the black bar.

EDIT: Not rooted.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] rfail1988:
Awesome! How do you access the menu then from the home screen using this phone?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
You can long press on any empty space and the menu will come up. Or, it can be accessed from the app drawer, top right. Three dots there.

There is no true 'best' ROM, its all about personal experience, some will say ROM 'X' has the best battery life while others will say the same ROM has the worst.
