I really want to have multiuser support on my phone so I can setup a work account with a conforming (long) password. What would be the easiest way to achieve that on my s3?
I know 4.2.2 has multi user but samsung disabled it on the Note 8. I'm sure the phone won't get it either.
Options? Thanks!
Only thing I know of is using googy kernel and dial booting to two separate roms...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
What about the app switchme? And I thought there were hacks to enable multiuser on phones too.
Hmm I guess I'll keep Googling but I'd appreciate any thoughts people might have.

Did I get what? Figure out a solution for multi user? No.
I'm thinking of doing dual boot via switchme and see what the usability is like.

Switchme doesn't handle dual boot. It just does profile switching (which is what you asked for anyway). Perhaps I am being pedantic but there is a distinct and obvious difference between switching users and switching roms.

Are you sure? My reading of this article convinced me it was essentially dual boot.

Only a few lines in it tells you it doesn't really dual boot.
We've already shown you how to dual boot your Android phone, but SwitchMe is a bit different. Unlike BootManager,it won't let you dual boot different ROMs

...so it's not really dual boot. It's multiple profiles, done poorly (i.e it has to install the same rom over and over again).

Hi all,
I have just installed lightning rom 2.5 and I have noticed that under both Phone and Contacts, there are missing tabs.
e.g.
Under Phone, the contacts tab is missing. I used to be able to slide to the right for more tabs.
How do I go about adding more tabs?
I tried searching but every time I add the word "tab" I get the Samsung Galaxy Tablet threads instead.
Also, under Security, the "SIM Change Alert" and "Remote controls" doesn't seem to be working, every time I tried checking the box, it freezes for awhile and then it says the setup has stopped working.
I wanted to post this in the lightning rom thread, but there's a 10 post restriction, and as such, I am posting here.
I hope someone can kindly help me.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know about remote control or sim change alert, but it is a well known change in ICS that those tabs are removed purposely, in their infinite wisdom. I don't agree with it, but it is what it is. One of the many reasons I'm staying on Gingerbread until find an overwhelming reason to go to ICS.
So if this ROM is ICS based, that's your answer.

Ya, will do.
Interestingly enough, My Samsung Nexus S is on ICS as well, but it has contacts in the phone app.

That's cause Nexus S is running AOSP android, and Galaxy S series (including the GS2) runs TouchWiz, which Samsung, in their infinite wisdom, have modded to their liking.
Edit to add: Lite'ning ROM is based on Samsung stock, so it uses the same system apps. This will hold true for any ROM based on Samsung stock, unless the ROM chef changes out specific apps, like the phone in this case.

Thanks for the clarification. I am new to android and have been reading up on how to root/flash custom Rom on my TF201, SG2 and NS one by one. Took me several hours of reading and searching, but I have managed to get them all rooted/flashed without bricking any of them
This forum is loaded with heaps of info, but sometimes it's a bit hard to search for some specific stuff;the 10 post limitation on custom rom threads make it hard for me to ask for help from the author.
Just wondering... if S2's lite'ning ROM is based on Samsung stock (non AOSP), how do people change out specific apps?

You need to be rooted, and you replace certain apk files in the /system/app folder. But you need to be certain to use files compatible with your particular build of Android.

I also had this problem. Found the fix on the Litening rom forum under Problems and questions.
I would link the page to you but since i am a new user, i am unable to lol.
Basically there is a zip file that u can flash which lets u add a samsung account and enables the remote settings features. ive tried it on litening rom 2.5 and it worked for me

Try "hi app lock" from play store you can lock most things down. Not just user apps. Eg: you can lock settings preventing uninstalling etc.

My question was not to use any external applications..
Actually i am using the Archidroid rom with android 4.3 on my S3 and i am able to see the restricted profiles in the settings and i am able to create new restricted profiles, but the problem is i am not able to see the restricted profiles icons on the lock screen, when i searched on the internet and in the forums, it was mentioned that restricted profiles work only on tablets, so i just wanted to know if anyone managed to use restricted profiles on their phones successfully..

Ohh ok. Well at a glance, no. So closest you are going to get may be an external app.

It would be so cool, if they could just make the restricted profile for android too, i have no idea why they choose to design restricted profiles only for tablets..
And sorry about posting it here, but i have less than 10 posts so i can't post it in ArchiDroid's forum but the restricted profiles in ArchiDroid works
I have finally figured out a hack to make it work in ArchiDroid 2.1.6 on my S3 :laugh:
Hi I'm new to XDA but I've used plenty of stuff from XDA in the past...
Yesterday I had and idea that only XDA Developers could fulfill: Make all of android UI VR...I'm no developer but I don't think it wouldn't be too hard to split the screen of a phone and project 2 small versions on either side of the display of what the screen would look like if it was full. But when you put on Cardboard all you would be able to see is a massive android screen in front of you. Also there is an xposed module called one handed mode where the ui gets shrunk to a portion on the screen... If this is possible shrinking it a bit more and projecting the image twice can't be hard. To navigate this interface you could use a Bluetooth/otg keyboard/mouse. Let me know what you think. To do this I'm guessing you would need root access. Let me know what you think and if you CAN make such an app please do and tell me about it.

Well allow me to clear this up, this is Xposed we are talking about, and basically to use Xposed you need root access... and I'm pretty sure that you are posting this in the wrong section mate.

Hello all, this is my first post on XDA so I hope it isn't too convoluted.
I just got the Galaxy s6 Edge + and I want to change the ui sounds of the phone to custom one's; specifically the unlock sound. "unlock_none_effect.ogg"
I'd like to change these with out rooting. The default location for ui sounds are Device>System>Media>Audio>ui. I cannot replace any of the files because they are "Read Only." I just swapped my phone into Dev mode, but Dev mode doesn't have a setting for "read only" admin power.
Anyone know the best way to do this with out rooting? I'm tech savvy as hell, I just don't work on phones that often. Anything you throw at me I'll be able to do with a limited explanation.
Thanks!

Not without root I'm afraid.

The box your phone came in should have the serial number on it.

I had the same problems but what I did is I used the RingDroid app and then just re-saved my files as a ringtone. They became available in any app that I needed ringtones/notifications. (Textra MMS for example.)
Good Luck!
hello,
am on miui 11.0.5.0 global and was able to remove the stock mi browser(v10.....etc).
am trying to install an older version of mi browser that had better features than newer versions , it installs but keeps closing everytime i open it!
is there any workaround to make it work?
I know I'm not answering your question.
But why exactly do you prefer to use a browser filled with ads and junk?

Poco launcher gives you a neat way of hiding those bits of xiaomi scurf that you can't uninstall - why not just do that and browse with Iron or something better?

I never said i cant uninstall it.....read reply #4
Regardless of ads or not, why do you still insist on using a inferior browser when there are so many others out there that do a better job.

i already mentioned the cause above!......the old version am talking about has a certain feature that isnt working anymore in new versions!.
All you mention is "the feature I'm looking for" or the "cause I'm looking for"
There's no direct mention or explanation of what you're looking for. Maybe more people will help you if you choose to explain a bit more rather than shut down every comment that's trying to help you.

the reason for posting this topic is to get help regarding running an older version of miui browser that installs but closes everytime i open in oreo/pie/q ......it runs fine on other android phones on nougat!!.
specifying the feature thats working on this old browser and not working on recent versions wont help coz poeple who "try to help" would simply recommend using other newer versions or even different browsers!!
if i wanted to shut comments ....i would have simply ignored any replies without a direct solution!!.
Okay, so you know how it works in the software world. Nobody codes everything from scratch. What we do is build upon the work of others to get what we want. Your previous browser would have been built with various libraries that it hooks into to provide different functionality. Now a new one has come out which was installed on your fone and this is using later versions of the libraries and possibly some APIs may have been dropped. So you're trying to use the old browser with the new libraries and it's entirely possible that the APIs/ABIs it needs are no longer available. So you're SOL. You're going to have to run your browser in debug mode to see what's wrong. I hope it works out for you.
