Hi everyone. Im one of the developers of SwitchMe, and app that allows multiple secure logins into separate installations of android on a single device. The pr is after the break.
I really need a few people to check into some issues people on the Flyer have been experiencing. There are some warnings involved:
- testers must perform a full nandroid backup before using the app, it is not our responsibility if you start getting boot loops
- if you report results or bugs, please use the "Write to us" function in the app whenever possible, and always describe the issue in the header of the logs you send
- if you post here, bes sure to include your device type and rom
- if you have apps installed on sd, be sure to mention that as well
--------------------------------------------------------------------
SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple installations of Android just as you would on a desktop computer.
The technology behind SwitchMe saves all of your applications and data, protects it and stores it as a file in memory. You can then log out of an
account and log into a fresh installation of Android or another account with its own unique content.
You may create as many profiles as the memory is capable of holding. Some of these may require very little free memory because they contain few apps,
others will be larger as they contain many applications and lots of cache and data.
Why is this functionality useful?
Privacy - the most obvious benefit is that you can securely share one device among multiple users, which gives you privacy and peace of mind.
Testing - if you are a developer, you can use profiles as clean sandboxes to test your applications and their interaction with the system.
Gaming – with multiple installations of Android on a single device, you can now play online MMOs as different characters.
Speed - the games your kids play slow down your tablet, but with SwitchMe you can easily create profiles without games or instant messengers.
Battery life - when the battery is low but there are important emails or documents to edit later, switch to a profile which only contains these essentials.
These of course are only suggestions - there are plenty of other uses for the functionality SwitchMe offers.

The Lite version allows the creation of two profiles, enough to test on.

Any issues to report or is everything working flawlessly as usual?
SwitchMe 1.2 has been rolled out and now includes a lockscreen replacement:
1.2
Added lock screen for logging in and out
More stable Fast switch implementation
Reworked UI colors
Now, its very important that we get some feedback on how this big new feature works, so please read up on it in the help and post your thoughts!
1.2.2 - HOTFIX 2
Reworked widget on qHD+ displays
Fixed widget text on HC and ICS
Fast switch improved on older devices
Anything at all? How is the lockscreen?
Its working perfectly here! Thank for this awesome app!
Anything other than praise to report
Sorry - its working fine so just praise
Next version the switch screen will be for all accounts...
What do you think of yesterday's update?
Using LeeDroid 4.1 - The second profile that was created is not a second LeeDroid but standard HC version... (so worked somehow as a bootmanager but only this one time)
2. attempt with LeeDroid as expected...
With Virtuous 0.1.1 as expected
that's not possible...
Sent from my GT-P7500 using xda premium
1.4.3.7
Fixed device specific switch screen crashes and issues
Fixed UI bug in switch screen preferences
If anyohe had problems with superuser before, this should fix them. Please let me know if that is the case, its important we get some feedback here!
Anything to report regarding yesterday's release?
By the way we released a new app today some of you might also find useful, you can find it here:

PLEASE CHECK IT OUT AND BE KIND
Touch Blocker Beta - a simple but useful app that makes holding and using your device easier
There are two basic functions:
- create dead zones where touches do not register
- filter the screen when reading in low light
We are already in a relatively stable Beta release - whats left now is adding new features and making it all look pretty. You can follow this process at the thread here.
Please be sure to write suggestions - we are looking forward to engaging the community and building a useful and nifty application that many will enjoy!

I take it everything is fine...
Any issues to report?
maybe either through API level, or by querying market info
Reason: i want to check on GB before I upgrade to ICS, which apps will not work.
don't know if relevant but it is for SGS II
Thx in advance
repost from here as nobody could really answer my question
can't believe I'm the only one with that issue
maybe an idea for a dev? would be willing to pay for that ;-)
I don't see why this can't be done:
-http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2695746/how-to-get-a-list-of-installed-android-applications-and-pick-one-to-run
-http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html
-http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context.html#getApplicationInfo()
I haven't thought through the problem just yet, but its seems to be doable. If you don't find an app soon, I will start working on a script that does it and, if successful, a proper, free software app. I am hoping the available methods won't require something as stupid as launching each app fully. But again, I haven't thought it through. Thanks for the idea btw.
EDIT:
Made a little more effort
https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!topic/android-developers/dXLACRIizKc
I will work on something this weekend and get back with y'all.
EDIT 2:
So it looks like I would need maxSdkVersion which I don't find in the API. Furthermore, it is strongly suggested that one not use maxSdkVersion when building an app so that doesn't sound all that useful. I have received another, much more complicated suggestion that may do what I want, but I will have to look hard at it. Looks like I'm going nowhere in my effort. Always open to suggestions. More to come later this weekend.
I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I thought this was mostly a straightforward task using the API's exposure to AndroidManifest.xml. As per my previously posted link to an Android Developers discussion on the topic, my approach is dead in the water as far as I can see. I did try to find an answer though to the best of my limited ability. If anyone has or ever solves this problem (I consider it a problem) I would hope they find the this thread.
Thanks for the learning experience. I give up.
Most older apps will work fine on ICS, its pretty backwards compatible. If the app uses legacy menus the button will appear in the old lower left hand corner location instead of the upper right hand corner like apps written for ICS.
i'm no dev so bear with me if i write stupid stuff
one likely but not very promising sounding way might be to use android:targetSdkVersion as "As Android evolves with each new version, some behaviors and even appearances might change. However, if the API level of the platform is higher than the version declared by your app's targetSdkVersion, the system may enable compatibility behaviors to ensure that your app continues to work the way you expect. You can disable such compatibility behaviors by specifying targetSdkVersion to match the API level of the platform on which it's running. For example, setting this value to "11" or higher allows the system to apply a new default theme (Holo) to your app when running on Android 3.0 or higher and also disables screen compatibility mode when running on larger screens (because support for API level 11 implicitly supports larger screens)."
question though is how many apps actually use this?
However after having read this re android:maxSdkVersion "Warning: Declaring this attribute is not recommended. First, there is no need to set the attribute as means of blocking deployment of your application onto new versions of the Android platform as they are released. By design, new versions of the platform are fully backward-compatible. Your application should work properly on new versions, provided it uses only standard APIs and follows development best practices. Second, note that in some cases, declaring the attribute can result in your application being removed from users' devices after a system update to a higher API Level. Most devices on which your application is likely to be installed will receive periodic system updates over the air, so you should consider their effect on your application before setting this attribute." (taking from here) i now don't know how important my op is, but then why do all app devs release new versions "fixing things" for ICS?
One pretty significant example which actually currently will prevent my phone from getting ICS for now is that the subsonic app in the current version produces stuttering when playing audio while downloading (problem description here).
Isn't there any way to instead of searching the phone searching google play/android market instead?

Here's a list of some working games/apps for ICS
Theoretically an Android app (or a combo of say App Engine and Android) could find your installed apps, seacrh Play for said apps and then scrape the page for relevant information. Doesn't sound to hard, but I didn't think about too hard either. Perhaps I will check out what useful info is on Play and how feasible scraping its markup will be. I will get back at y'all if I do.
Starting with Android "L" , apps can no longer get the recently launched apps:
https://developer.android.com/preview/api-overview.html#Behaviors
The documentation (not the one on the internet, as it's still not updated ) says:
This method is deprecated.
As of L, this method is no longer available to third party applications: as the introduction of document-centric recents means it can leak personal information to the caller. For backwards compatibility, it will still return a small subset of its data: at least the caller's own tasks (though see getAppTasks() for the correct supported way to retrieve that information), and possibly some other tasks such as home that are known to not be sensitive.

Instead, they only get a list of apps that the current app has launched.
Is there a way to overcome this? Perhaps with root?
I ask this since I've recently added this feature for my app (allowing to sort apps by recently launched), and sadly it doesn't work as I made it...
Maybe I can get when the files of the apps (those that are used for launching them) were recently used? But this is just like checking the list of running processes, no?
Hey guys, sad announcement unfortunately.
I knew it was coming soon, since they were actively blocking my mods. I just received a cease and desist letter from Snapchat's lawyers for infringement of their intellectual property. And they're right, I am infringing their intellectual property. I won't be taking any further risks and will comply with their requirements to settle. I have and am going to remove everything, including SnapMod, Keepchat and Snapshare.
It's been a fun ride. I really loved developing it and really improved my skills. But I knew it had to stop some time. I understand they're not happy with it and there's no other option than to honour their requests. I'm going to think of something else to develop, of course it'll be open source. Something like an app (don't know what yet) or rom development for example. New challenges, new things to learn.
I'm going to remove everything from AndroidFileHost and the Xposed repository, ask the mods to close this thread and remove it after a few days, when most of you have had the chance to read this message.
I'm really sorry guys, I hope you understand I have to quit. I do understand them. Thanks for being such a loyal community.

This version is compatible with Snapchat 9.0.1.0 up to 9.0.2.0.
Fix sweep to save:
In Snapchat 9.0.x they changed the way snaps are loaded. They used load the image/video once the timer of the previous one was finished. However, in the newer versions they load the next snap while the current one is viewed. When sweep to save was performed, it used to save the latest snap. This didn't work properly any more, because they load the next one in advance and so the latest loaded snap is the next one, resulting in the next image being saved when performing the gesture on the current one. This is worked around now. :good:

Just go into settings and change the destination folder, I have all my snaps save to one folder and have done for the whole time using keepchat. That would be the only way, its down to the gallery app, not keepchat. Gallery apps just look for images in a folder, with no sub directories.

That has nothing to do with Keepchat. Keepchat only saves the images, it's up to your gallery app how it displays those pictures. If you want that, you should look for a gallary app which meets your needs.

What he said.......
(And I did actually say in my first post, lol)
Thanks for taking over Keepchat! And also thanks to @Ramis for all of this work. And for the people before him.
Hope you can keep this up-to-date with Snapchat versions and very much luck!
Thanks!
@P1nGu1n_ what's your first plan of attack pal?
@P1nGu1n_ So I have no idea how much work this would involve or even if you support the idea, but given Xposed's lack of support for ART in the foreseeable future, what are your thoughts on forking this project into a standalone app?
I know there are currently a handful of Snapchat clones that support saving snaps, but they are all either horribly outdated (e.g. no support for stories or messages) or frighteningly unsafe (The Snappening). I think an open-source, up-to-date app from a trusted dev would fill a big hole for users who can't root their device or install the Xposed framework.
I hope I'm not coming across as entitled or ungrateful, I'm just a regular Keepchat and Snapshare user, and losing both after updating to Lollipop kind of sucks. Having a Snapchat alternative that would work on Android 5.0 and be available on something like f-droid would be awesome.

First I'm going to convert the project from Eclipse to gradle (Android Studio). Second I'm going to refactor and clean the code, mainly internal improvements. Than I'm going to look into making the captions on videos optional. Of course I'll add support for new versions when it's necessary. That's it at the moment, don't know any other features to implement yet. If anyone has suggestions (and I mean only doable and useful features), I'm open to it
And yes, I'm sorry I haven't start working on Keepchat yet. I've been so busy this week and I took this project over unexpectedly, but it was a no-brainer.

That would involve an enormous amount of work. There's no point forking this project, this 100% depends on Xposed and has no future without it.
I do get what you mean and I agree with you, there are no great alternatives at the moment. Another app not requiring Xposed would still require root, because it needs to get the images from the data folder from Snapchat. The only solution not requiring root is modifying a Snapchat APK, which sucks, as you stated yourself. My OnePlus One will get Android L in 3 months, I hope Xposed will be compatible by then. If not, I might create an app for it, but that will require root. So I'm sorry, I can't help you at the moment. Keepchat really is the best solution at the moment and it is open source.
@P1nGu1n_ I can't wait for you to begin work. Can you make the first order to get this thing working again. This latest update doesn't work anymore. Just on stories. Good luck with it.

Running 3.6.3 with Snapchat 5.0.38.2, several people confirmed it working. Probably something's not working on your side, can you enable debugging in settings, try to save a snap and post your log? Might give us a clue about what's going on and why it's not working for you.

I did an uninstall/ fresh reinstall of both snapchat and the module and it is working fine. Not sure what the glitch was about I am good to go. Thanks.
I noticed that since 5.1.1 or (sometime around it's release) when I download an apk or an update from playstore, I am shown a list of service, broadcast receiver, activities, etc. with toggles. I am not sure if this is a result of one of the apps I have installed (like cm security, my android tools, amplify) or if it is just a new policy on google play. Anyone else see this? Is there a guideline as to what if any can be toggled and why I should/ should not mess with it. I've been reluctant to mess with anything up until now b/c I am not sure what this is. Can anyone direct me to a guideline thread or shed some light on it for me? Thanks in advance.
I've included some pictures of what I'm describing from a recent Dolphin upgrade from playstore.

someone can correct me if im wrong, but i believe i read somewhere thats some new features to help make users more aware of the permissions they agree to in more detail.
i dont recall it mentioning as in depth as the receivers, but it may have. for the most part, you really dont want to mess with those, otherwise the app could partially or completely stop working properly.
what you can and cant turn off is really going to be a case by case basis. i have tried doing some of that before, and tbh, its generally not worth the effort it takes to figure it all out. the battery gains are usually minimal to non existent. only thing some what useful is disabling the ad servers.
your really better off not touching any of those, unless you have a rogue issue you are trying to rectify.

I noticed that since 5.1.1 or (sometime around it's release) when I download an apk or an update from playstore, I am shown a list of service, broadcast receiver, activities, etc. with toggles. I am not sure if this is a result of one of the apps I have installed (like cm security, my android tools, amplify) or if it is just a new policy on google play. Anyone else see this? Is there a guideline as to what if any can be toggled and why I should/ should not mess with it. I've been reluctant to mess with anything up until now b/c I am not sure what this is. Can anyone direct me to a guideline thread or shed some light on it for me? Thanks in advance.
I've included some pictures of what I'm describing from a recent Dolphin upgrade from playstore.

Why not sending your screenshots to [email protected] for help? Seeking support from Dolphin is much more time saving.

That was just an example, it does that for all apps downloaded from Google play. Apparently, it is to disclose permissions required by apps more thoroughly. At the time that it I posted, it was a relatively new feature and I was wondering about it.
