[MOD] Multi user support for CM10.1 - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Hope people like this, it's a little mod that enables multiple users on the phone. I have it set at a max of eight users that can be added (though I only use 2, 1 for me and 1 for guest.)
Issues:
*reboot of the shell when adding a new user.
*phone calls can not be placed via secondary users.
*while logged in to a secondary user if receiving a phone call, you must switch back to primary users to accept.
*themes do not work with secondary users.
Just flash through recovery and enjoy

This was tested on Deck's 0310 build, though it should work on other versions.

The no root access is a form of security and also due to superuser not being updated in almost a year. If you install superSu or (I believe) the cyanogenmod superuser, you can enable root on other profiles. Text messages can be sent via the other profiles, but they can not be viewed. Calls are supposed to be able to be received however upon testing they ring, but there's no way to answer. I'm looking in to this now.
Here is a mod that shouldn't have the lock screen bubbles: http://db.tt/BNEMJC6u

Let me amend that statement, calls can not be placed in secondary users. Due to the feature being for tablets and tablets not including phone capabilities

---

So seems like the calling issues are limitations of android. I'm sure there's a way to fix it, but it's way out of my league

Great job on this joey! I'm not on CM, I'm on rootbox, so it may or may not work. As for the phone/calling issue, is it only on the secondary profile, or does this bork calls for primary/all profiles?
Thanks.

Primary user is just fine. If you switch users while the phone is ringing you can still answer it too.
The issue with the phone in secondary users is it checks the userID and rejects anything but the primary user causing a force close when trying to call.
Also if this mod won't work for your ROM I'll try and see if I can make one that works for rootbox

I had a theme enabled when I first added a user and when I went to select the new user to set it up I got a ton of FC's. I switched back to the stock theme and the FC's were gone.
EDIT: Set up the new user, went back to the owner user, changed the theme and I get the same FC's when going back to the guest.

This is an issue with the multi user function on android. I'll update the op with this and the other known issues

Updated the mod for decks 23/3 build

I know this is an old topic, but the links are dead and the last time I tried editing apks, it got ugly. Wondering if this works on the current version of cm10.1?
