Also, I have navigation bar mod on my 7/30 build of CM10, so ignore those.
This should work on any Jellybean Android 4.1.x ROM built from AOSP, like CM10, AOKP, etc.
Please read this entire post before doing any of this!
This feature is now in AOSP fully as of Android 4.2!!
After reading about the recent discovery of multiple user code being in JB, I decided to mess with it.

^^ Um, yes, I took it from Him.
And it works on TouchWiz, Just so you know.
Okay guys, we can work with multiple users on this device.
Before we begin, here's what you need:
1- Root access granted
2- Terminal Emulator [from Google play] OR adb enabled
3- Busybox installed [increases the range of commands accepted by the emulator]
Now open Terminal Emulator, and type these codes to see the maximum users allowed
su
getprop fw.max_users
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It would show nothing.
To change the maximum users allowed, type
su
setprop fw.max_users <your required number>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Mine is 4.
To create a user, type
su
pm create-user <username>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To remove a user, type
su
pm remove-user <usernumber>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
NOTE:- the primary user number is 0. The users you have created would have numbers from 1 and onwards.
If you want to change the user names after creation, go to /data/system/users/userX.xml
here X is the user number, from 0 and onwards.
0 is the primary user.
SECURITY NOTE:
The second user can still access your messages, contacts, etc. It's best if you set a lock screen password on your own user, and select another launcher for the second user, hide all the sensitive applications using some application hider.
If you are on the second user, most of the data from the primary user is hidden (you can not acces it).
For example:
- photos
- unlocked levels in Angry Birds
- music
- contacts
- google account
- clipboard
- home screen
But there are a few exceptions:
- all the apps are there, as if they were just installed
- the recent apps menu
- the use-app-as-default-setting (I don't know the official name). For example: if you set Apex as default in the Guest account, it will also be default in the primary account.
- your messages!!

Nice guide @id74em8 but, I can't seem to find the use for having more than a user when you're the only one using your phone... Might be useful for Corporate/enterprise phones though

nothing REVOLUTIONARY you are doing to the ROM by adding few apks...
ask permission from mr. Pratyush.creed first before releasing this
i'm not just adding apps. i doing it for you to update your apps. all apps released from 2.0 are all cannot be upgraded. again market could not be updated into playstore. but i customize it and make it ready into working playstore. samsung apps could not be updated too. but anyway if you dont need my help i wont upload it anyway.

not like that simple. it's not just easy to copy and paste the apps into system. even you push it into system it wont run. icon wont appear after pushing. those techies can do it easily but for others who are not techies they cant do it easily. and beside this rom is an opensource. so i can't release rom i had customized. i just made it simple, ready and complete themes.
but anyway thanks a lot to Mr. Pratyush.creed. but i'm only

yup...android is an opensource OS. no doubt about that, but don't forget about manners. this things is not related with open source. its totally about manners, and how we shows respect to one another. you can modify creeds rom for your personal use to anything you want. but, if you wan to publish your modification into public you should follow community rules.

no need to argue, just read
The OP got raped hard here. Try again. #FAIL
This is as far as it gets...
Thread closed!
First off I do not own an i605 myself but have the l900 (sprint) which is almost the same device. Hardware wise there is only a tiny difference which is in the partition setup. Sprint uses a different data partition mccblk0p17 where all other N2's use mccblk0p16 the other is our mccblk0p16 which contains special files used by sprint on their stock roms (just to make our lives more difficult). I have been working with @lacoursiere18 on a few of my projects for the l900 and we tried to port an earlier version of MIUI for our devices before he got busy with school. Since then I have successfully ported over MIUI to the l900 and i605. Brian has been nice enough to test build out and confirm it works great on the i605. So now I am releasing this for your flashing pleasure. I also took a little extra time and modified Plasma 2.55 to work with MIUI and gotten permission from @ffolks (a few months ago) to post the modified kernel for everyone to use.
Well everyone (l900 users and those who browse the l900 forums) already knows I hate doing OP's so they stay pretty simple and this wont will be any different. Also MIUI users know that there are weekly updates but since this is a port and I have so many projects going on. It might be a month or two between my releases.
This is ported from the N7100 which is based on Omni rom. Original rom is located here
http://en.miui.com/download-35.html
and is the one by mdiary. So far only issues I know of it call recorder does not work (just says being used by another app) and you have to go into settings..mobile networks..network mode and change to CDMA+LTE/EvDO to enable 4g after every boot. If you flash any gapps package you will lose gps. If you continue to read the OP I will give instructions on how to setup your MIUI rom to get the most out of it.
So I took the base and turned it into a full featured rom with a whole mess of add-ons and tweaks.
Included items/tweaks/mods
Adfree (although I already have a host list created)
dolphin browser
dolphin jetpack plugin
adobe flash 11.1 kk
es file manager
LG G3 Keyboard and a few themes
WSM (MIUI Xposed)
Mi-Tools module (like wanam or gravity box)
Paid themes module (all miui themes are free)
AOSP Dash Clock widget
AOSP Calender widget
Terminal emulator
A bunch of build.prop tweaks
A bunch of init.d scripts (to enable them continue reading the OP)
Bug list
MIUI-i605 4.9.5
Any Omni bugs
call recording does not work
If you flash any gapps besides mine you will lose gps
Change Log
MIUI-i605 4.9.5 9-8-14
First port of rom
Downloads
Flashing instructions
1. Backup internal sdcard to you PC or external sdcard (this will really help prevent issues
2. Boot into recovery and backup current rom
3. Do a factory reset (if using philz/cwm do clean for new rom)
4. Format/wipe internal sdcard (if you dont do this and have issues first thing I will say is format it)
5. Reboot back into recovery (this will create your internal sdcard dir structure)
6. Flash MIUI and boot it
7. After initial setup power off and boot into recovery
8. Flash Gapps (please do it in this order or you will end up wiping and reflashing)
9. Boot into rom
10. Go to post #3 and follow those steps
Do not flash any kernel besides the modified Plasma or your rom wont boot. If there is an AOSP kernel you want to use let me know and I will make it compatible.
Plasma 2.55 MIUI edition Synapse is included in this flashable zip

Importaint tips for MIUI
Simple things for now
1. Open security (located on first screen)..permissions.. and turn on root permission
2. Open WSM tools (miui xposed) and click install DO NOT reboot yet
3. At top of the screen you will see < Manage click here and enable all three modules
4. Reboot phone and setup Mi-Tools to your liking and reboot for settings to be applied
5. Open settings... general settings tab... mobile networks... network mode... set to CDMA+LTE/EvDO (will have to do this every boot to have 4g(LTE)
6. If you want to use a different launcher ( I dont like the iOS style launcher myself ) open settings... general settings... display... default launcher.. and select launcher3 or whatever you have installed yourself
7. Setup your google account and enjoy
Some things are in Chinese
in settings... general settings.. stock settings you will see two chinese options the top one is your advanced settings for samsung devices the bottom one is your Mi-POP settings (that circle with the back icon)
BELOW IS A NICE GUIDE FOR MIUI

Rebooter
This can reboot your watch special modes like the bootloader, recovery, soft reboot, or just a normal reboot.
Root Browser
Explore the files on your device with the Root Browser. The Root Browser can view details of files and copy/move/delete them.
Download
Root Essentials is available on Google Play. The phone does not have to be rooted for the Android Wear features. The app will be installed automatically on the wearable device through Bluetooth. The app does not work correctly if manually sideloaded to Android Wear.
Support
For support on Android Wear, please reply to this thread. If you have any questions about the phone app, please reply to the main thread. You can also send an email to [email protected].

Both DPI and Build.prop Editor have been added in release 1.8.5. Please note that the Build.prop editor will not
work on all watches due to the squashfs filesystem, but should work on your Sony Smartwatch 3 as listed in your profile. Let us know your thoughts on the new functionality.

Some apk needs default authorizations permissions, so it is locked by default root doesn't matter in this case
if you want to modify those... you need to decompile that apk and modify the permissions as you like and again recompile it, install again
if you modify wrongly some of the applications may not work, it may require those permissions
very difficult to find required permissions unless you are the developer or well known about those applications

No-no - based on your feedback you didn't even get the problem:
the authorization in this case is not a "normal" app permission:
in MIUI this setting gives authorisation for some system apps (like MSA that is known to collect data about you for Xiaomi personalised ads, but even the MIUI Security app) to collect data about me and my online behavior and this gives these system apps authorization to also send these data to Xiaomi to China for further processing.
This is what we cannot disable now - and we were able to switch them off couple of months ago for sure, but not now!

That's the other thing.. I thought one will ask.. but according to my experiments in the last couple of days it does not matter if:
- it's the latest official Xiaomi Global ROM, stable or developer
- it's the latest Xiaomi.EU ROM (based on chinese ROMs), stable or developer
- it's any kind of custom MIUI ROM derived from the 4 kind of ROMs above.. does not work running Mi-Globe, MIUI.AM, MIUIPro, EPIC..
- it's rooted or not (tried Magisk, phh and yes, I tried with SuperSU as well: yes, I had spare time and I am desperately trying to find the cause and the solution)
- it's logged in to my Mi account or not
- if it's logged in to my Mi account then it's set up to sync to Mi account everything or not
- and I literally tried every combination of the above listed elements, really.. (well.. not sure if I logged in to my Mi account on MIUIPro.. but IDC by now, hope you understand why tho).
So, every time I go to Settings -> Additional settings -> Authorization and revocation -> try to disable (revoke) any of the listed apps' authorization -> wait until the end of the 10sec countdown -> tap OK -> each and every time it returns the same error message: "Couldn't revoke authorization"
So.. with all due respect, everybody: ..now what?!

Excuse me if you didn't understand something in #8 - english is not my native language, typos and grammar issues are expectable.
Intro:
I tried using MIUI a lot of time before and always found it so full of apps.
So I searched around xda and compiled a list with packages to remove, which I consider was great because it was a fast and easy way to clean my device.
In the end I thought of sharing it with you, because why not? (xda is all about mods and sharing them right?)
Without further ado:
Instructions:
1) Download the file attached to this post and open it with any text viewer, I recommend notepad++.
2) Open a cmd or powershell window,
3) Run
adb shell (or .\adb shell if powershell)
su (optional depending if you have root)
4) Copy and paste the whole list into the open adb window.
P.S. AND WARNING:
You should really check what you're getting rid of, I suggest Googling every package you are not familiar with.
Also since this is a simple text file you can delete or add packages to adjust to your personal needs, I'm just dropping this as a personal template to make it easy and fast for you to debloat your device.
This is made with the Xiaomi Mi 8 in mind running MIUI, but can work on other brands and devices.
If a packeage trying to uninstall isn't there it'll just skip it and move on, so it's safe to use on any device, just not as effective.
(also of course like with any mod I won't be held responsible for any damage or misfunction that occurs, you're doing this on your own will and your own risk.)
With that being said, cheers, enjoy!
The instructions are inside the text file as well for offline usage.

Glad to see that my work (among the work of others bloat-listing volunteers) is useful mate! :highfive:
The devices we own must be kept clean (and custom ROMs and GSIes help a lot here luckily) so let's keep us updated about new bloats

Other than the fact that you'll lose mi clouds functionality, it should be possible and most likely safe.

I can say the same you said . Every rom/ custom rom should have only basic apps like telephone , messages , camera , settings , and one or two apps more . Others one user should install what he needs .
is it safe to delete all of the things in the list?
LITE Vesion available.
A friend of mine suggested some of the features that got removed could be useful (for some that is) and asked me to make a lite version of the tweak, so yeah, I made one for him and I'm posting it here as well.
Enjoy.
