General :: MK812 - Enable Multiple Users Switching?
Apr 4, 2013
I bought this nice minicomputer - MK812 Mini PC Dual-Core Android Camera Mic BT 4.2.1 and I relied on the fact that since there is Android 4.2 installed, I can use switching users, but unfortunately this function is disabled. I need to get it to work.
Of course, I googled. This is what I've already tried: URL....The problem is that this command pm get-max-users returns Unknown command get-max-users. Furthermore, when I enter SetProp fw.max_users 8, it has no effect, even after a reboot. The command pm usernameyouwanthere create-user is also without effect. URL....
App - 4.2 Multiple users feature enabler..This app can't be installed by Google Play (apparently MK812 is not a compatible device). Since I couldn't get APK anywhere to download, I downloaded the source code and compiled it and generated APK. Unfortunately, can't be installed either.I studied the source code and found out that even if i was able to get it installed, it wouldn't have worked anyway, because this app runs similar commands (as those above) instead of the user.
URL....This could be a solution even for Android 4.0 and 4.1. It works, but switching takes too long, because it requires a reboot and this switching is not integrated into the system.

My father is getting a Nexus 7 in the next few days and since I'll be using it a bit I've decided to put a custom ROM on it. I'm going with Paranoid Android because of the whole tablet UI thing, but I was wondering if it has a multiple user system, since I didn't see it listed in the features. I noticed an option for it on my Xylon ROM on my Galaxy Nexus and I'm not really sure how it works... Does it just change which Google account the device is linked to? Ideally it would be cool if I could set up a different launcher for each account.

I need to use a separate APN for work which only allows access to internal servers and no access to the internet. I'm wondering if it's possible to for certain apps to use the work APN and everything else goes through the internet APN.
If the above is not possible are their any decent widgets that I can use for switching between APNs?
My phone is a Note 2 SGH-I317M with JB4.1.2.

Is there any way to share my Movies folder on my Nexus 7's 'sd card' between multiple users?
ln -s /data/media/0/Movies /data/media/10/ from recovery didn't work, worth a shot though
**edit**
correction it did work while I was in recovery but once I was booted to the system the folder was gone for the second user.

I have an application using ListView inside Tabs, and I'd like to switch to a separate View(data collection widget) on clicking an item in the List.I'm adding each List's row's children to a ViewFlipper and the items are added at runtime so there is no definite number of views. As such, i would want to navigate/switch to a particular View in the ViewFlipper.Any pointers?

I have developed some apps for Android, and this questions stays always:
How should I structure my UI? Should I launch activity after activity and leave the phone to make the "back" button, or should I choose more optimized, but more complex to implement, way with switching manually Views and then manually doing the "Back" button functionality?

I'm trying to create an app that offers the user 3 different kinds of layouts. The only common portion for all 3 would be the TextView (located at the top) that would display information specific to the currently displayed layout and 3 buttons to select the required layouts.
Is there some way we can create this UI in XML to keep only one constant part(the upper TextView) and dynamically display any one of the 3 layouts below it?
Would it be better to create separate XML's for each of the layouts (each including the upper TextView in them)?
OR would doing this via code be better?
Fast switching between the 3 layouts is important. TIA
[EDIT 1]
Actually they are 3 different layouts, with several "child" layouts and views within each of them. Could a ViewFlipper be used for switching between these? I was thinking that a ViewFlipper was only for switching between View elements?
I do have them in individual XML's right now but am looking for some way to load and unload them fast. Not sure how to do the hiding thing, will try reading up on that. [/EDIT 1]

I'm an application developer, trying to develop a graphics application. I have been trying to get multiple windows each rendering their view up for quite sometime with no headway. I have gone through the documentation but have not come across any technique to enable multiple window support. Does Android have multiple window support as of now?

From the online articles and the encryption description i was left with the impression that i will need to enter the password only on boot.Well appears that once encrypted the only active unlock options become, face unlock, pin and password.All take too long for my daily use, and since you don't have to use the encryption password for unlocking (the phone is decrypted on boot) but other options like face unlock, why we can't unlock with the normal slider screen or at least pattern unlock?Is there a way to go around it and enable the slider unlock on an encrypted phone?
i know that decreases the security, but knowing that if i lose my phone, chances are the battery will die, and they will need to decrypt it then...

Basically I am looking for an app that will allow me to sort my contacts in groups and will block certain groups to call me for example during the night but other group of people will be allowed to contact me during the night, weekends, etc.
Nokia has this option as default but I am not aware of this feature on my Desire S.

I just created a second user, and i'm wondering if there is a way to move an app (and its data) from the primary user to the secondary user. I have already tried using Titanium Backup, making a backup in the primary user, and restoring it in the secondary user, but it didn't work (it only restored the data on the primary user again). I tried to find a similar thread, but didn't find one.
I have a Nexus 7, running ParanoidAndroid 3.15, and I have root access on both users.

I need to lend some tablets to some friends for testing an app. The problem is that I don't complete trust in them (or they are too smart or they aren't very familiar with digital products), so I'm afraid that they can make some trouble voluntarily or not.
I'm searching for something that can block the access to determinate applications of the tablet (for example: phone, settings or other installed apps) and the install of new app. Something like a limited user of the tablet, that allowed you to running only some default apps.
I've tried to test some apps that allow you to open the app just by entering a code or a sequence, but they aren't very safe. I always find a way to bypass them. Moreover this type of application don't block the install of new app. What can I do to create this sort of "Limited User"?

I am in process of developing an application and I was wondering if there is a way to capture users information automatically. I am drawing up a spec of application functions that I am going to have a dev team produce so I do not have app dev skillsets. That being said...
My idea was that if an user downloads an application, starts it, and the app is automatically populated with the users' phone number, name, etc any basic information automatically. Google pairs the phone with specific accounts that store such information so the data is there. I am looking for a less intrusive way and more user friendly way of creating accounts rather than direct social media login integration.
Is this something that is viable? or is it against data laws? or not possible?

I recently rooted my s4 (I9500 international) and I installed cwm recovery. I went into recovery mode and selected backup to see what would happen. Then when I tried rebooting it, it just showed the 'Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500' logo and the screen went black. The same thing happens if I press the power button (no vibration). I kept it for charging but no light appears and nothing shows on the screen. I went into recovery mode and did a factory reset/ data wipe and tried rebooting but there was no change. I tried restore, but it says 'MD5 unmatched' or something like that (can't remember).Also, when I try rebooting from recovery mode, it shows an empty battery pic on the screen with a non moving circle in the middle.

1. You need a device running Android 4.2 (no root needed).
2. Create a new user as usual (follow the Android tutorial).
2.5. Verify everything is ok for this user.
3. Once done, go into this new user settings (don't switch back to your main/admin account).
4. Add a new account, this time use the Google account on which you paid for your apps.
5. During the add account tutorial, make sure you unselect ALL syncing stuff. Very important!
6. Go to settings / applications and deactivate all the apps you don't want the new user to access (ex: gmail, calendar, etc...).
7. Launch the Google Play Store and select your main account, make sure you protect application purchase by a PIN.
8. Installed a paid apps under this account.
9. Enjoy!
WARNING 1: I had an issue with Google+ when I deactivated it, it removed the updated version (so when I switched back to my main account, I needed to update the app through Play Store). May happen to other apps.
WARNING 2: I don't know if it's related or not, but in the process, I needed to reboot my Nexus 7, it was slow and unresponsive (a process or app was sucking a lot of CPU cycle). But, it did not happened again.
TIP: Use email app instead of gmail to sync the other user mails.
CAVEAT: Experienced users or clever children may find how to reactivate the apps you locked, so you may want tu use an app locker instead of the "deactivate method".
It's not perfect but it works, it's enough for me. My daughters will enjoy their games and I know they will not mess the system. Tested on my Nexus 7 but I'm pretty sure it will work on all Android 4.2 devices.

How to share media between users in Android 4.2.2 (Nexus 10)? I mean sharing a large number of photos and movies, something without online connection (no dropbox/drive). A solution without duplicating the files in each account is highly preferred.
I know /sdcard/Android/obb folder is shared, I used it to transfer large files between the accounts. But it is not recognized by Media Scanner / Gallery. Links are not working for me (I tried both - symbolic and hard link, ln -s reports Function not implemented, ln alone Operation not permitted. Not mentioning that root shell doesn't see the content of obb (strange)). Folder sync seems not to work either (even though it states 4.2.2 is supported).

Are you switching from iOS to android or any other OS and having issue with iMessage? here is the fix.
Ok so i switch between iOS and android regularly and usually it is no problem with imessage but this last time was exceedingly difficult.
The obvious is to before you deactivate your iphone go into settings->messages and turn off iMessage. After this is off power cycle the phone so it forces it to reset and reconnect to the network. For some people this fix will be all you need and your messages will just go through as SMS, but not for everyone. One fix i read a lot on apple support boards and around here is to just have people delete your contact....Yea that is a major hassle reaching out to everyone you know with an iPhone and saying hey delete my contact and remake it please. That was a no go for me i even tried it and it did not work anyway. I heard some say to just give it time, tried that waited a week, still was not receiving a lot of messages and people reported it was still trying to go through as imessage.
What i found that worked and worked flawlessly because i tried it twice just to test it and because i like to switch often.
So here is what you do.
1.Turn off iMessage
2.Power Cycle your phone.
3. Call 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753)
4.Request Technical support for iphone (sometimes you can say imessage it recognized it once for me but not again)
5. Tell the tech you want to de-register your phone number with iMessage (be insistent as they try to keep you just say you have tried everything else and you need your phone number to be de registered.)
6.Shut the phone off give it 1 minute and then turn it back on once it powers back up you are free to switch to android or windows phone and will get your messages.
The first few messages will take a little longer to come through for a day then it should be good. I have seen this method posted before online but most i read say to just deregister online and turn it off but i have found that does not always work. This is the certain way to remove your phone number from the servers.

I got my wife an S3 for Mother's day and tonight, sat down to transfer all of her data from her S2. I used the Smart Switch app and along with Contacts, pictures ect. I included her apps. Problem is not all of them switched over. I figured i'd just re-download them again from Google Play Store from the S3, however the apps "appear" to be installed. I've check to see if the missing apps were selected as hidden but there's nothing there. I'm unable to uninstall and reinstall again. Her Gmail app isn't even visible anywhere on the device....have I missed a step in doing the switch from S2 to S3? Should I be signing her out of Google Play on the S2, and how to go about signing out of Google Play Store.

My contract with Verizon is up in the middle of February and my wife and I are planning on getting new phones and possibly switching carries (possibly to T-Mobile). Based on what's currently available I think if we stay on Verizon we'll get two Moto Xs, but if we switch to T-Mobile we'll go with the Nexus 5. I try to stay up on tech news, but if any new phones are expected in February or early March I'd be interested in hearing about them. I don't want to wait too long because my iPhone is out of warranty and starting to slowly die (for instance the on/off button no longer works).
