Is there any way to have different user profiles on the Galaxy note 4? i know this was a feature that was released with lollipop, but im not sure if this was made available for samsung phones? Is there something im missing or is there some sort of workaround to be able to have user profiles on this phone?

Hello everybody, a friend of mine who owns a galaxy s3 recently showed me a number of the useful "Motion Gestures" on her phone, see: http://www.androidcentral.com/how-use-motion-gestures-galaxy-s3
I am quite sure that this is a ROM feature developed by Samsung, therefore would it be possible to port any of these gestures onto any Galaxy Nexus ROMs? (Especially features like Direct Call, Flip to Silent)
If not can anybody please direct me to any relevant apps that can achieve the same on the Google Play Store, or any ROM which features these?
Thank you!
I'd also be interested in this. The phone has all the hardware necessary, does anyone know of any ROM that has these features?
I just picked up my Galaxy Note 3 yesterday and one of the things I noticed was the ability to add users/profiles is missing. This is a core functionality of Android and has been present for quite some time now.
I've gone through the settings many times I have been unable to find a way to add profiles. This is especially useful for people who have small children yet still allow them to use their phones to play children's games, etc. If anyone knows how to utilize this functionality within the Galaxy Note 3, please let me know.
Thank you.

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, the profile feature which was added in Android 4.2 is only for tablets (of course unless it's hacked in).
I thought the 4.3 version allowed user profiles for phones too.

I don't think so, as my Galaxy Nexus 4.3 doesn't allow different user profiles as far as I can tell.
Nope.
The feature's only been enabled for tablets. 4.3 brought Restricted Profiles, but it didn't add phone support.

We'll probably get a ROM that hacks it in, don't worry.
Been running CivZ rom since couple days after getting this device. Wondering if any SPen functionality found in stock rom has been lost. It has been way too long since I've been stock so don't know about this. The Note 10 (2014) has ability to hold the pen down over any notes section in apps and handwrite instead of using keyboard. This is a really cool feature that I can't seem to replicate on my Note. Can someone running stock chime in and let me know if this functionality on our tablet exists?
Just got a Tab Pro 12.2, was wondering if any of the currently available ROMs include the "Restricted User" option in the User settings. I know CM11 includes this, but so far as I can tell it isn't available for the T900 yet. From reading the forums, I'm thinking the most stable ROMs are GigaWatts or ProPlus, but they both appear to be modified stock so I'm guessing they have the same settings options.
Did I miss something? Suggestions?

Um, never mind. Out of the box, it only allowed adding a User. After an OTA update from Samsung, "Restricted Profile" now shows up as an option.
On my previous Sprint Galaxy phones, I have been able to create custom notifications and place them in a particular folder, enabling me to choose them from the notification chooser (I believe that they call it the Media Picker, or something like that). If I remember correctly, I was even able to do this when the phones were not rooted, but I might be wrong about that.
I have not yet rooted my Sprint Galaxy Note 4, and it might be sometime before I get around to it. What I should like to know is this: is it possible to create and use custom notifications with this phone and operating system as I did with previous Galaxy phones and versions of Android? And if it i is possible, can I do it before I route the phone Thank you very much for your help.
