how to enable multi-user

Hello and Sorry for my bad english.
To enable multi-user at the tab 3 10.1, first you musst root your stock rom.
Then instal BusyBox from the playstore open it and instal.
Now you take a build.prop editor (maybe from playstore) and open, now add a new property.
Name it: fw.max_users
At the key you fill how many users you want (2 at my tab)
Save and Reboot!
Now in the options, you shold can add new users.
Did you try this?
I had to modify my framework-res.apk to enable MultiUser.
Yes, i have it so on my P5210. Works perfekt!
I tried it today, but it didn't work for me. I ended up in a bootloop. Had to copy back the original build.prop to boot my Tab3 again.
Think the solution with build.prop doesn't work on all devices. I'm using a Galaxy Tab3 10.1 (GT-P5200) / P5200XXUAMK7 [4.2.2].
What is your device/firmware?
It's a bit confusing why some have to edit the build.prop and others have to modify framework-res.apk.
Does this really work? Just wondering, because I thought we had to use the xposed framework hack. Man it would be great if it's just a build.prop addition. You may want to tell the dev's of the pimpdroid, and grievous roms if this is all it takes to get multi user on 5210.

Enable Multi-User on Lollipop Manually
I am on lollipop 5.02 and you just have to enable Multi-User on Lollipop Manually
I followed this and have multi user, just make sure the codes are in lowercase letters and no spaces
Enabling Multi-User on Lollipop Manually
This guide will enable multiuser support on Android One devices running Lollipop which is hidden by default.
Requirements:
1) Rooted device
2) Any text editor
Steps:
1) Browse to root directory and then to /system/build.prop and open in text editor.
2) Add the following 2 lines of code at the bottom of the file and save.
CODES
fw.show_multiuserui=1
fw.max_users=5
3) Reboot and start adding new users or guest users.
Note:
1) Every time on adding a new user phone will soft boot.
2) A new menu option "Users" will appear in the settings menu as well to configure user accounts etc.
3) You can click the top right corner of your screen, i.e. on the profile photo to quickly toggle users.
good luck
Yes, it appears that Samsung is also enabling the ability to create guest accounts on the Galaxy S6 Edge. :good:

just a quick question.. after enabling and setting up user accounts, do u also lose some quick setting toggles??
yes at least in my case I missed the screen rotation toggles and Sometimes when I change from administrator to a different user my mobile data connection is lost, i just have to enable again with a toggle, is a small price to pay for having multi-user while we wait for the new update 5.1.1

Hello friend! Sorry to bother you after a long time since you posted this comment! But I'm very desperate because I'm using a new rom on my Note 4, it's the sixperience port to Note 5!I enabled multi users but when I try to set up a new user or switch to guest mode the device soft boot as you wrote here in your comment! Could please help or give me a clue? I'm not lazy, I'm just looking for a way to start to try to fix this! Sorry about the english! Thanks in advance!
try to be sure you have all the dots and stripes down each line. in multiuserui also make sure is equal to 5 and users equal to 1
No theme option in user mode.
While the editing of the build.prop file works great to get multi user available.
I cannot find any way of changing the theme while on another user.
Anyone know a way?
Ps: this is my first post. Thanks to all the custom rom devs who made my Android experience easier!

rom that allows all apps for multiwindow

I just bought a Galaxy Tab s SM-T800 (with Lollipop 5.0.2) and have rooted it and added custom recovery. I am still using a Galaxy Note 8 and enjoy the ability (through root) to have floating windows and have any app I want as a split window. To my disappointment I realized that with the Tab s you cannot add any other apps for multiwindow other than those that Samsung deems compatible. You also cannot float the windows. I tried apps such as Multiwindow Manager but they do not work (I think because Lollipop has broken this functionality). I have also looked at xposed framework (which I use on the note 8) but I am afraid to try this since it is alpha and there have been issues on Samsung devices. Are there any roms out there that would be compatible with the t800 tab s wifi version that will allow more extensive multiwindow support? (BTW I looked at the SuperSamsung Rom but it says it is for the LTE models which I don't have).
No issues whatsoever with Xposed.
Xposed + wanam = any app you want for multiwindows.
Thanks for the reply. I have done some more research and just today saw a post about IronMan rom (forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/prerooted-stock-touchwiz-rom-t2973107) and if I understand the post correctly it is compatible with my tablet and has xposed framework as part of it. If I got this right then all I have to do is copy the rom zip file to an sd card, boot into recovery and install it from there and then I would have multiwindow and floating window support as well as xposed framework. Am I correct in what I'm saying? Sorry for my ignorance but would appreciate your input on this.

The best Kernel for my i9082 Devices

hello guys i have a Samsung galaxy grand duos i9082 (CM 12.0 Unoffical) . My phone is too slow. Can you write me what is the best kernel for my devices. When i reboot my phone , my phone has 40 % lost from my battery, Every REBOOT !!!
thanks for all anwser
lg Andi
ps pls help me ok
-try wiping everything (except SD card) using recovery and installing latest version of your software (I'm using Lineage 14.1 myself, which is half way to perfection)
-install all packages in one set (CM & Pico G-apps)
-don't install apps you won't use and disable all system "apps" you won't use
-use some kernel control app like kernel auditor to boost CPU performance
-get a larger SD card as it helps alot
-enable developer options and disable animations and enable Force GPU rendering & 4x MSAA and try disabling HW Overlays to see if it helps too. (It's all there, don't worry you'll find them)

Root Confusion

Hi everyone.
I have a rooted samsung tab pro 10.1 with Linage OS 14.1, with nova launcher made to look like the samsung S8 touchwiz.
I wanted free some memory and delete some standard apps like calculator, note book, alarm and browser (I use samsung internet).
When I downloaded a system app remover it said the device needed to be rooted. So I downloaded ES file explorer file management app and this said the same.
When I download the lineage ROM does it lose root access and if I reroot my device will it mess up the lineage ROM in anyway.
Hope people can help
Hi people
I have done some digging on the old web and found out what I needs doing.
Basically you have to download the superSu add on for the right version of Linage and the ARM version(I will add a link where to get the add-on)
After that you need to unlock the development options and then enable the level of root access from there.
