[APP] Multi-User App Share

I have created an app that will help share apps across users on google's new 4.2 multi user feature.
Thanks to mentose457 and unwired for giving me the idea.
see this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994169)
It works by removing package elements from user's package-restriction.xml file to add the app and adding the package element back to remove the app. (located at \data\system\users\10\package-restrictions.xml where 10 is the user's id)
This is quickly thrown together and will likely have a ton of bugs, but I wanted to go ahead and get it out there for testing.
- This is BETA
-You must have ROOT
- This changes system data on non documented files it could screw something up.
- I'm not responsible for any problems this causes or lost data or bricked or broken devices
- please use cation
- it is currently built to run on main user to enable or disable apps on secondary users (once root is fully working on secondary users I will see about making it run correctly on secondary user's account)
- not tested thoroughly with paid apps*
- does not currently support system apps**
- due to the way I pull the app list from the package manager some installed apps may not show as available to add/remove
- apps installed first on a secondary user's profile will probably not show in the list to add/remove
*paid apps seemed to work but I did not have internet access during testing. My theory is that any paid apps that use Google's license verification will not work or not work for long. So adding your Google Account to the secondary user's play store is probably still the best way to share paid apps.
**The entries in the xml for system apps is different. Therefore I will have to research them more before getting it to work or deciding not to mess with those apps. Currently some will show not installed on other users even though they are and removing/adding them will not work correctly.

I'd love to get feedback to what is working and what is not. Also if anybody figures out anything more about the package-restriction.xml file I'd love to hear it. Especially when it comes to system apps.

Thanks mate added my sons Google account and it is all running perfectly. Seperate saves and account details for apps and allowing me to share my paid ones with him
First review on play store is up.
Will have a mess around with apps and report back but it appears to be running sweet at the moment

I wanted to chime in as well. It is working on AOKP. Thanks again jeepguy04.

Looks like it's working for me too :thumbup:

Strange, I'm rooted. Using root apps such as cache mate, titanium & sixaxis.
Multi user app enabler says not rooted.
So does root checker??

On the first 'owner' account I'm rooted, but the second user account doesn't recognize root in apps shared through multi user app.

That is a known issue (if you want to call it that). For me it's not a problem as my second user is a guest just like on my computer.

I know, that's why I quoted the user I meant to answer
It wasn't meant as a negative comment, as I think this app is very useful.

I tried this with ten games and all worked fine (free and paid) except Retro Racing. It works with primary user but crashes with secondary user.

Do you think it is possible to have a shared folder for fotos and musik for multiple users?

some one post the apk my devices are not compatible lol

Great idea! My solution involves just buying everyone their own tablets.

Should work on any tablet running 4.2 (or phone if your custom rom enables the multiple user profiles)

Currently I only have it available in the market to tablets to avoid confusion for people wondering why it doesn't work with their phone. Maybe I will change that since only nexus devices or phones with custom roms are running 4.2. Those users tend to be a little smarter and know if their phone has multiple user profiles or not.
Here is a link to the apk for anybody that can't see it in the market.

The shared folder idea is interesting but beyond the scope of this app. Probably could do it with symlinks or something (not very knowledgeable in linux). Maybe I will look into it and either make another app or find a way to make it fit in with this app.

Yes. Symlinking the photos/music folders outside /data/ should work. But I don't have a 4.2 device(nor willing to set up an emulator) so I'm unsure.

Looking forward to trying on my p5113 CM 10.1

Google Play billing service is for accepting donations via in app purchase. Under settings anybody can donate if they feel the app has value to them... so far I've gotten two $1 donations...lol
network access is for connecting to internet for ads and also for ACRA (Application Crash Report for Android) it basically sends error reports to me to help fix errors. It can be disabled under settings if you do not want it reporting errors.

[Q] How to use App Ops on the Note P605?

Hey there,
since a week I own a Note 10.1 2014ed with LTE. So far I didn't modify anything on it and run the stock -MJ2 firmware.
I want to restrict some apps of accessing what the don't need to access and since 4.3 supposedly has this rights control feature called "App Ops" already integrated, I checked how to use it... Google gives many links to descriptions how to open the feature, they are all the same: Either you use a launcher that can start "Activities" (like Nova launcher) or you install one of the many apps from Playstore which do the trick as well.
Here is what I found on the Note:
Whenever I start the App Ops (no matter if I use an app, and I tried several, or start this activity), it just takes me to the first page of the Settings screen (WiFi).
Although searching the web for a while, it seems no one who owns this Note is using the feature or not having the trouble with it.
Can someone confirm this problem or, even better, give me a solution for it?
Cheers

I have that very same thing happen with something totally different. In wanam when I try to enable the flashlight from lock screen feature it takes me tu settings page nothing to do with camera flashlight or lock screen.....No idea I just gave up for now

Hmmm, no one interested?
I'm just wondering now if people don't care what their apps are accessing or if they use a third party program to make restrictions.
Any idea how to control apps will be welcome. If you use sth like LBE, please leave a reply.
Cheers

Hi there again.
Since there is no information available throughout the web concerning my question I was in contact with Samsung support about it. I thought it might be helpful for others what was replied.
They said that using the original Samsung Firmware, the feature cannot be used. They didn't specify whether it was completely removed from the system or only disabled so itcould possibly still work.
Since I am not a developer I didn't go into more detail there.
Now I hope that a custom ROM like Cyanogen will be available soon for the tablet.
Sent from my SM-P605 using xda app-developers app

I'm facing the exact same issues.
When following the windows opening when starting App Ops from e.g AppOpsX, a window titled "App Ops" opens quickly, then closes and ends up on the Settings screen. Same for flashlight.
My best guess was that Samsungs version of the Settings App blocks access in a way that they can only handle windows/panes that their app is capable of - would explain why it shows up just quickly and then closes.
I've been thinking that if I'd be able to flash the stock settings app, temporarily freeze the Samsung one and try App Ops - might work?

I have the same issue. My p605 is not rooted

Note 4 Apps

Just a heads up, if you change the following lines in your build.prop, you can get some of the stock apps from the Note 4 via Samsung Apps (or Galaxy Apps or whatever it's called now). Just open up the app, go to the Galaxy Essentials section, and download. I'll post up the apks shortly....
ro.product.model=SM-N910S
ro.product.name=SM-N910S
ro.product.device=SM-N910S
Actually, I just realized somebody else already has a thread going, with all the available apks and info on the apps that are currently available....

I am on S5 ported ROM. Is there any advantage to these APPs? ANy great improvement I would be missing out on?

[App] Multi-Window Commander(All apps enabled)

EDIT:
As I mentioned to TDunham on his thread for OA6 DeOdexed.....
For those of you taking the Lollipop update, there is an app in the playstore that enables all apps for Lollipop. It is also the only one I know of to work with Android L at the moment. Of course, this is unless any Devs here eventually modify the Lollipop UI on their own custom roms.
ROOT IS REQUIRED!!!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xpe.app.multiwindow.commander
After download.......grant SU, select apps, save and reboot. It's that simple. The difference is that NOW your MW will be on the right side with no thumb/arrow pull. You will have to double tap the back button to use. I'm not sure if this was a patent issue with Samsung, but it works.
I am just posting this as a pass-on. Moderators, feel free to delete or move this thread at will.
I don't need any thanks. Thank you's all go to the developers of this awesome app.

Its nice but it is a paid app. Devs technically wouldnt be able to implement that. Thanks for the find though. Im purchasing now

Yeah. I guess I typed that wrong. I meant that the devs on XDA have the ability to break down the UI to implement their own mods.
I multi-task with my phone, hence needing multiwindow. This app thankfully gives the solution "now". Great stuff.

@abdullaha @khaled147
What I do see is you quoting an Exynos version of your phones. Am I correct? There MAY be issues on International versions, as we here are on the Sprint(P) variant. I do know that not ALL phones will work with this app.
Are both of you rooted and on stock Touchwiz?
There was also an issue with the latest update as stated by the developer. Perhaps a simple clear of data and cache will solve this issue.

Have you tried contacting the developer?
Can you open the app itself at all?
I fear that your tablet MAY not be compatible, although some comments in the play store section seem to suggest otherwise. The developer states that the app fits all Galaxy series phones, and most galaxy tablets with KitKat or Lollipop. I'm sure there are exceptions.
I've attached my screenshots so you can see what you SHOULD have. If you can not even open the app itself to select the apps that you want, there's a bigger issue. Perhaps even try reinstalling altogether.
One pic is the slide window activated by hard-pressing the back button, now on the right side. The other pic is what the app itself looks like when you open it.

In read in the reviews section of the Play Store that a Tab S user is having no issues with the app. I have tried reinstalling multiple times. I open the app. The loading message is displayed and the app closes within a second. And that keeps happening every time I open the app.

Yes. I have also seen that some Tab users have had success. Did you get the initial request for root? If you haven't, there is your first problem.

The first time I installed, I did which was followed by the app closing. I reinstalled and I stopped getting the root request dialogue. Root is working as other apps are actively using root and requesting for it.

For those of you with FC's.....
I found that once I uninstalled the app, all my apps were still enabled when I was on stock DeOdexed OA6. But of course, I am no longer on a stock rom.

Got it up and running. Needed to make a few changes (enabling certain apps with Package Disable Pro), but other than that it seems snappy. Will have to see how some of the extras work before I can form a solid opinion.

Does wifi calling and volte (HD voice) still work with the official Tmobile nougat release?

If you guys are having trouble getting it to work you could always just install nova launcher and make it pretty much identical if not better than the original pixel launcher. Or else there is another app called nougat UI for Android that looks promising but I haven't tried it yet.

If you start a thread, even when you're just giving a link to more info people will ask questions. I've been there, started a few compilation threads over the past decade on XDA and it never fails... people hope that since you compiled the list you have the info... Not to mention it is a Verizon mod and tmobile people will have different questions. But you enjoy being an ass... I'm gonna run to Fred Meyers and grab some cookies.

I would reflash without wiping anything first. If it is only the launcher FC, a reflash without wiping might fix what ever went sideways during the initial install.

I've had trouble with Pixel launcher as well. No problems during the beta, but after "official" it mysteriously stopped working.

Working awesome here! Nice and smooth!
I found the easiest way to install this through adb is, make sure you have adb/fastboot installed on your computer, DL the play store mod file, extract it and all you have to do is CLICK on the play store rom.bat and it automatically opens the command window and the directions on there will guide you through the process.
MAKE SURE your home screen grid on the TouchWiz launcher is set to 5 x 5 as that is the default grid on the Pixel launcher. If it is set different on the TW launcher it messes with the Pixel launcher viewing. It offsets the app icon grid and makes icon s look crooked on the screen and widgets are all out of place also.
