Hi!
Is there any way to create guest user on tablet s?
That´s not what Android is made for. And how do you want to use the guest accounts? Maybe there are other ways to obtain your goal.
It would be possible after a unlocked bootloader you could do a dual
Boot when you start the tablet just choose between two roms but thats only a feature for now
Also worth clarifying that with Mahaco's solution, it would be as if you were "logging in" to two completely different devices. Your apps, data and preferences would not be shared across the two modes.
More importantly, as HKboy has pointed out, Android is designed centrally around the concept of a single user (one UID, one usable GUID etc) and there is no way to access other users apart from the run-as capability for the root user (referred to as Superuser, gained by rooting the device).
I mean i want to have an ability to share my tablet with anybody and don't think about passwords saved in browser, couple of files on device, e-mail, contacts, etc.
There is a solution.. It's here... http://www.redmondpie.com/switchme-brings-multiple-user-accounts-to-android-download-now/
It requires root, does NOT require an unlocked bootloader.. But you will have no access to anything across accounts.. All apps and data are stored separately.

Hi
It seem that users do not use my app so often ,
even lower than 3 percent I have daily active user ? (even I have got good rates on google play ) , I have excepted really higher than this .
why ?
Do Guys see any problem in my app ?
Do I have design problem ?
Do you find this app not useful ?
You can see my app here : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.matchseller.proassistant
I am installing your app and will use it...
From User perspective:
Big app size 14 mb. I think its too big for an application.
Sample font is not attractive. Use system or Jelly Bean fonts.
My advice : Stop using Comic Sans MS font.

Really Thanks , I will use Helvetica font in new version , wait for more info of you ...
Another thing I've spotted is; Due to natue of the application it requires lots of permissions. It might be scaring from user perspective.

If this is a serious response, there are lots of great fonts for free on the internet. Helvetica is overused and overrated.

Yes adding some info about why it requires that many permissions might help.

Dark colors are better for eye and it significantly reduces the battery use due to it's lightning level.

Ok, I'll bite.
Just from a first glance, there are several issues:
a) Grammar/language issues throughout the app description
b) Multiple security permissions are needed, giving the app access to all data on the phone
c) The app description states that it "checks for updates everyday", which really sounds like it is sending data at regular intervals as updates should be managed through the Play Store rather than the app itself
d) The developer website listed does not load
e) Many features are duplicative of built in phone functionality
All in all, it really sounds like a huge security risk, and does not appear to add much value. This app basically has every possible issue that people are told to be skeptical of when referring to malware apps.
Assuming you are a legitimate developer, and truly want to make a good app, you should retool it to have more focus on functions that are a value add, rewrite the description to use proper grammar, separate the functions that require high level access to the permissions into separate apps that do not need to access the internet to get rid of the security concerns.
It really looks like a malware app, and there's no way I would even consider installing it, and the 100-ish downloads you have don't really give any sense of security.

Great Reply , I will keep all of them in mind , Also do you think explaining every prem request is usefull for people ?
Also I want your opinion about these :
Design
Performance
Video Added
App Translate (if I include)
Also , I have added some useful features in new version , please see attached image :
New verision has App Lock with Message Blocker with Battery Usage info with Cache cleaner .
Do you think they are useful ?
video added .
I think there are way too many concerns with permissions for me to consider even installing the app. The most popular SMS and Call Log backup and restore apps are from a trusted, well known developer, with a website and contact info, and the network permissions are only for displaying AdMob ads, and limited permissions for the all to perform its function.
In contrast, your website does not load and is registered in Iran, and your app has access to just about every possible permission involving my data that it can possibly have, in addition to having full network access. I'm not trying to offend, but I have no sense of security about allowing your app to have unrestricted access to all of my data. There are way too many red flags about what your app can do that I would not install it in its given state, especially with the numerous free alternatives from established developers that are available.
You really should consider splitting these into separate apps. If you want to build a Music Player, build a stand alone music player. Build a separate global search app. Build a separate Call Blocker, etc. I think you should narrow the focus of what you are trying to have your app do, and eliminate the network access permission so that a user can use your app without being concerned about where their data may be going. From a design standpoint, switching to the Holo design guidelines for Android 4.0 would be a good start. This may have been adequate on Froyo or Gingerbread, but from a design standpoint it appears very outdated.

File size is very large. Most of the budget phones comes with the low internal memory.
It is too large.

Yes , your information is really useful , and two thinks that should be in mind :
This app designed for users to help them find things very fast , aslo have most needs tools for user and allow them use less memory load on phone .
but what is your opinion about removing internet premession completely . ( But I will lose app ads, update checker, lyrics load, load statics , bug reports , ....)
Also Do not see normal users like yourself, most of them are not as like as you ...

I am sorry but that is a very important issue. If an application is over 10mb, I very rarely install it. I like to keep my phone free from as much bloat as I can - even though it has 8GB of internal storage and 4GB of SD storage - the issue still stands. If you have to have a video, encode it to make it a much lower size before including it into the application.
I also think the name is too generic. If you could choose a catchier name or something more descriptive, you might get more people to notice it.

Hey.
I just wondered if there would be any way to dsguise my phone as a tablet for starting an app in another mode...
I know it can depend on several things, but could it be done somehow?
I'm thinking about this: spotify free is now available for phones and tablets, too.
For phones it is limited in function, but for tablet devices it's free like the version for desktop computers.
So I want to make spotify "think" that my phone is not a phone but a tablet, to use full functionality of spotify free.
Here's an excerpt from the news:
The new tablet version of Spotify will mimic the free desktop app by allowing users complete control over what music they choose. The free smartphone version, available for iOS and Android, will allow users to shuffle randomly through their own playlists, playlists by friends and artists’ catalogues. Users won’t be able to select individual songs on demand with the mobile version, and neither the tablet or mobile apps will let people download songs to their device, a feature of the premium version of Spotify. The new features will be available today.

Edit the build.prop ? (make a copy/backup before you do). This is a workaround for many apps, such as Foxtel (pay TV) Go in Australia. It only works natively with the SGS3, Note 2 & Note 10.1, but if you edit your build.prop to fool the app & hide root before you use it, you can use it on other Android devices.
This may/may not work with the Spotify app, and will depend on what it checks to determine whether that version of the app is acceptable to use on a particular device (checking build.prop is a common one though).
There is another discussion about trying to get Spotify to display in the tablet mode here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565626
Unfortunately, none of the common tricks have worked so far (build.prop, DPI, denying access to phone state, etc.). Noone has yet to figure out how the app determines whether you are using a phone or not. If you have any ideas or information to contribute, please add it to the thread I posted the link to so that we can all use that information to hopefully figure out a solution.
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?
Hi,
I'm looking to get a secured space where I can launch some android apps with my personal data.
That a way I can separate personal data of work data.
I know samsung provide "knox" which is the best solution, but it's not working in others brand device.
Earlier, I had on my Nexus tab, the possibility to use an owner account and to swype to an "guess" account which can also a solution,
but it seems to not be available on recent release of android.
So anyone can give me some solution availabe ?
Cheers?

Which version of Android are you using? I have android n stock and there is the user option if you go to the settings app, there you can find the guest option and other options as well.
Well, I didn't find it on android 6 on my Xperia M4 Aqua.
On my Samsung S6, there're android 7, after many research I dind't find it. This phone is a very good device with knox but after a falling ugrade
the knox count rise to 1, so knox saw that as a security issue and it can't still running on.
So are are you sure it's always remains on android 6 and 7 ?
