I Need Multi User but changing the build.prop didn't work
Is there another way to activate multi-users as on Stock Android Q/R?

I'm running stock 4.1.1, it's odexed and rooted.
I'm wanting to change my DPI to 200 maybe, but it seems I need a deodexed ROM to do that. I really can't be bothered reflashing and I don't have enough data to download a new rom anyway.
So is there any way to change it?
Check in my signature.
You can set any dpi with that guide.
Just you need to use a custom keyboard.

Your sig is actually what made me want to do it. The guide confused me though. What modules do I need to use and where from? And I have to download like 10 modified apps don't I?
If you want 240dpi then you have to download the modified keyboard and I recommend launcher as well.
If not 240dpi then you have to use a custom keyboard and again I recommend launcher as well. You have to disable the stock ones.
Now some apps don't work nice on a specific dpi. You have to use xposed app settings and make them run in 320dpi.
You have to download xposed framework and download the 3 modules listed in the guide.

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!
have a rooted G3 running the latest cloudy rom.
how do i add custom fonts to settings>display>fonts without using LG smartworld or iFont or similar apps......?
i want to be able to add to the font list already on the phone (like on HTC, Samsung etc)...
can only find solutions to change the default system font using iFont/HiFont/Font Installer etc....
must be some way? can't find anything about this anywhere....
TIA
Hi. I'm currently working on an apps that need to support multiuser behaviour.
I've try this method but it doesnt work since the change not persistent after reboot.
So maybe someone can link custom ROM that have integrated multiuser support?
Thanks
Edit 1
I use this method for editing build.prop and now multiuser feature available
