[HOWTO][4.2]Now there's an app for that. Enable Multiple Users in Android

For Android 4.2 Try this:

FYI, since I stumbled across this looking for 4.2 and it came up because *not 4.2* is in the title, in case it's not here - 4.2 how to (possibly depending on build)
adb shell
su
pm get-max-users (should show 1)
setprop fw.max_users (some number above 2, I chose 7)
pm create-user someusername here
repeat the create-user as wanted.
That popped up a "Users" tab for me after creating 1 that allowed me to create more.
Your mileage may vary, and I did this on a different device so I may just be useless

Only bug I noticed was that in order to switch from any non primary user back to the primary(as far as using a visual UI), your lock screen *has* to be in landscape mode. Easy enough I guess so have at it!
Thanks to everyone keeping the info flooding in on this subject. Hopefully KLP will have this baked in for phones as well.

Also, I have navigation bar mod on my 7/30 build of CM10, so ignore those.
This should work on any Jellybean Android 4.1.x ROM built from AOSP, like CM10, AOKP, etc.
Please read this entire post before doing any of this!
This feature is now in AOSP fully as of Android 4.2!!
After reading about the recent discovery of multiple user code being in JB, I decided to mess with it.
Here's a video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfHWV_-X3a8&hd=1
Manual method(fun, makes you feel like a hacker):
First, we need to enable this.
Go to Terminal Emulator and type these in:
Code:
su
Code:
pm create-user test
Hint: "test" being the name of the 2nd user. You can change that to a name, or whatever.
Now, we've created a 2nd User on your JB 4.1 device. Hold the Power/Lock button to bring up the power menu, and you should see this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
From here, you can switch to the 2nd user, which will have a fresh homescreen, and show you the tutorial. Settings are limited to this user, as seen here:
mantian said:
In case someone hasn´t figured out how to rename/change any usename, it's pretty easy.
You only have to go to /data/system/users and edit the "userX.xml" file, where X is the user numer(0,1,2,...). The change the name between and to any other you like. For example, from guest to invitado. Save the file and reboot. It work well for me.
P.S: If you don't know which user number has the one you wanna change, check out the userlist.xml file, which has the same path above.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To remove this 2nd user from your phone, switch back to the primary user via the power menu, and go back to Terminal Emulator.
Type this in:
Code:
su
Hint: only if it isn't still running from before
Code:
pm remove-user 1
Hint: primary user in this case is 0, 2nd is 1, so on and so on.
Now you should only have one user, and your Power Menu should not have the ability to switch to a new user anymore.
To double check, go back to the Terminal Emulator and type this:
Code:
su
Code:
pm list-users
Should say:
Code:
Users:
UserInfo{0:Primary:3}
Easy Method:
XDA member Raghav Sood has an app that does all of the above for you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824066
At the moment, this isn't extremely usable, ie texts from the primary user's still show in the 2nd test account. But, with the right launcher installed, and hiding the apps from the drawer on the 2nd account, this can still be usable in its current form.
My suggestions:
1.) Label the 2nd user Guest
2.) Use Nova or Apex as the launcher for the Guest user, and hide all of the apps you want(texts, social media, email, etc) from the app drawer.
3.) Setup a security lockscreen on the primary user to prevent Guests from gaining access(each user has different lockscreen settings)

I found that in the second account there are apps that I don't have in the primary account, for example: Google Wallet, Play Magazines, Play Books and Play Films. (I'm from Belgium)
Oh, they disappeared as soon as I signed in with my Google account.
If you are on the second user, most of the data from the primary user is hidden (you can not acces it).
For example:
- photo's
- unlocked levels in Angry Birds
- music
- contacts
- google account
- clipboard
- home screen
But there are a few exceptions:
- all the apps are there, as if they were just installed
- the recent apps menu
- the use-app-as-default-setting (I don't know the official name). For example: if you set Apex as default in the Guest account, it will also be default in the primary account.

Your the master select what should sensor do, currently only 3 options are available
- Lock
- Unlock
- Lock & Unlock
Choose what you like & have fun
7. Split 2nd Sensor Function :
You can define another effect for another sensor opening lot more opportunities.
For more details refer Tutorial in App.

The list is growing everyday and there's also the apps pulled of the store but there's xap/appx on some forums so it worth the work on such app

@Rataplan, why do you need a special "store" just for the certain apps? Create a static web page with the short descriptions and tiles, links to the packages (but don't forget appropriate content type for the .xap, .appx & .appbundle extensions) looking good on the phone screen, host anywhere on the free anonymous http hosting and post link here - what's all
I believe, mods will be happy to pin/announce your page link at the forum's FAQ post.
P.S. Of course you are free to call your page "The Ultimate Underground WP Store"

- Developers can reach a wider user base and get their work known, provide updates and receive feedback from users.
- User can easily find new apps and install them from a trusted source, receive updates in a simple way and request features.
But we only have four apps so far

@Rataplan, why do you need a special "store" just for the certain apps? Create a static web page with the short descriptions and tiles, links to the packages (but don't forget appropriate content type for the .xap, .appx & .appbundle extensions) looking good on the phone screen, host anywhere on the free anonymous http hosting and post link here - what's all
I believe, mods will be happy to pin/announce your page link at the forum's FAQ post.

Actually, that's a really good idea (and more realistic than building a store tbh).
If people want an app they can make a web wrapper of that, I guess?
Although I'm not sure if a web wrapper can update installed apps, which would be super convenient for something like this

it doesn't have to be a fully functional store and update the apps automatically but at least provide all the apps in one place and notify about updates so users download them and install them manually so if a web-rapper app can notify about the updates it'll be more then enough for me

@karaki93, I gave you an idea; don't ask but do it by yourself!
P.S. If you need some advises or consultations, many people here will be happy to help you. The only thing you need is a start working on project instead of posting requests
P.P.S. Very first advise: find a XML- or JSON-based HTML5 mobile site template (without SQL database), this will be a 50% of the project.

Hi everyone .
I started a new project for now it named Google Maps Unofficial. It's a C# based app that use MapControl to show Google Maps on the app not like other apps use a simple WebView or a HTML code behind .
I need some developers to help me in completing this project. .
Project Updates :
Update 4 : Now Version 1.35 Alpha is available and pervious versions removed from attachments. see the change log on post #15
Update 3 : Now you can download V1.20 Alpha in attachments and you can see details of this version at #13
this time app is available for both PC and Mobile Platforms (X86,X64 and ARM) maybe it should be deployed on XBOX and HoloLens too.
Update 2 : Now you can download V1.15 Alpha in attachments and you can see details of this version and known issues at #11
Update 1 : Now You can select region to download offline map.
Developers with this skills
MVVM knowledge , Google Maps APIs , MapControl and UWP Experience .
Projects on GitHub:
Current app on GitHub
https://github.com/NGame1/UWPGmaps
Class Library (SDK) for developers :
https://github.com/NGame1/UWPGmaps.SDK
NuGet library :https://www.nuget.org/packages/GMapsUWPSDK
I implemented some basics like showing map in satellite mode and normal road mode and traffic view .
everyone with the mentioned skills and ready to help please let me know in pm or here on topic .
Regards

gMaps is a very good google maps client, the only problem is that offline navigation doesn't work. If you can't make that work in your app, then... Any effort is useless. But, don't let my comment discourage you to develop, but keep that in mind.

I implemented a class for offline using but there are some bugs presents.
but the first thing I'm looking for is offline map usage (at least map only without navigation)
If I solve the saving offline map I can look for things like offline finding directions and etc.

All the best

I may not help you in code as I am not a full-fledged developer. But I hope you get success in this project. This will be a very good contribution to our phones as the Windows Maps is bad after Creators update.

yes exactly . after creators update windows maps get awful and exactly that's why I'm thinking about building this app .
I hate google but Microsoft forced me unfortunately

As an update for project detail I have to say I finally completed the offline map downloading .
You have to select a region for downloading the offline map and it will download .
Please let me know what you need to be prepared for the first release .
For now I need your basic needs (things you can't live without them lol)

Excited for release.

I don't say I want these all features in first release. You can take your time . I want favorites places to save like Work and Home. And Yes.....organizing those saved places into collections just like on HERE Maps apps. Also driving and Voice navigation can be a part of it.
Wish you all the best for release.

Good idea, my friend! Would you mind to create class library with NuGet package, and share sources on github? I believe this project might be interested for many devs (who still code stuff for UWP of course ).

I didn't share it on git hub but I will do it and also after a bit cI will share it as a DLL or Nuget package too .
I know many guys need this and love to use it in their apps

wao, good luck!

As a very soon pre-release I Will share you the appx on first post .
It contains :
Showing maps as I mentioned in default Road view and Satellite view
and it supports showing traffic and transit
It supports downloading offline map and if downloaded a region offline package if you are offline app automatically use offline map .
Known bugs and issues :
1 - Download Map page : when you select points, Pointers doesn't show the correct position that you selected (they stick to top left of map) but that's ok
2 - Download Map page : Progress Indicator fills many times until download complete, because it show progress of download in each zoom level that app trying to get and it's not showing really true value of progress! I mean it's not reliable at all!
For understanding when download complete wait until app show you Download Complete message
As this app is a very very very first alpha build do not select a large region for downloading offline maps. Please select a region like a City, not bigger. For example Mashhad, Khorasan Razavi, Iran offline map is about 22 - 35 MB (about ~7K to 9K files) depend on the exact region points you selected.
Because of large number of files to write it may takes very long to download much more than 30 - 40 MB but looking for some workarounds.
Good News Maybe :
if app crash ( I didn't see ) or you close app or etc. that cause canceling the map download You can re-select the region you selected before this time app only check for the files downloaded before and continue progress from un-downloaded content

Thanks

OMG. That's really great to see the first pre-release hit over 850 downloads a day.
I added the walking mode navigation to app , how to use Simply find where you want to go on map and hit the point !
Map showing you the way to get to your destination .
Change log :
-Fixed continuse location using after closing app
-Added Walking mode navigation
-Minor fixes and improvements
Appx file and it's dependencies will be added to the #1 post.
What will I want to add in next build :
a better offline map download (not downloading tiles over zoom level 20, Zoom Level 17 is enough I think)
and maybe I use the Icon I attached for next release
Also I added an Insider group in Telegram Messenger that I will provide you the link of group to join me and I really want developers join me to complete it's alpha ring features.

Now Application Source code is shared on GitHub
https://github.com/NGame1/UWPGmaps
NuGet Library and Class Library (DLL/Winmd) to work with Google Map APIs will be available soon too.
We have an insider group on Telegram Messenger you can join there for updates and keep me updated with bugs and features you need . There should be a better communication with you and other users .

I know there's a known bug that it repeat commands periodically when you get into 400 meter to the point you have to turn or something else I will find a way to fix it, if any developer know a good way to make it ok let me know .
Regards .

Don't use Telegram for bug tracking! Use GitHub, it has all capabilities (not an industry standard level but enough for open source fun projects).
