Requirements::
Rooted
Terminal emulator
Step to create :
Open terminal and enter this command
Code:
su
press enter, then will appear super user clicks "grant"
after that type again in the terminal emulator
Code:
pm create-user user1
than enter.
to switch accounts press the power button (in power menu)
note : "user1" is the name of your account
so, you can change it with your own name.
Step to delete :
Open terminal and enter this command
Code:
su
press enter, then will appear super user clicks "grant"
after that type again in the terminal emulator
Code:
pm remove-user 1
note : number 1 is a secondary user account and number 0 is the primary user account.
It sometime not work properly(example : if you use app in secondary account sometime it force close)
I found this trick from another forum posted by irvanus

I found another app better than "user management", it's named "SwitchMe"
The big devs are prepping cm10.1 for multi user here lately. Better navbar setting memory, superuser management, etc. Take a look at github.

Down below you have a download link posted by KillDroidHack on Twitter.
Inside the zip file you will find all the Android 4.2. APK files for Gmail, Chrome, Maps, Launcher, etc.
Install them using the APK as you would normally do with any other app.
Download: www.d-h.st/wBX
PS1: I'm just posting the news, credits go to KillDroidHack.
PS2: Tested on Nexus S, working well. In certain situations, you might have to uninstall the old Gmail, Maps, etc before installing the new ones, otherwise you will get an error.
same with this that i use : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1965895

There is another method for this.
You need Terminal Emulator and these commands:
> su
> pm create-user thenameuwant
For deleting this account:
> su
>pm remove-user 1
If you have more then 1 user you remove with 2,3,4.... what ever.
And if you want to log in to other user just hold power button and change in power menu!

I've extracted all the apks from the archive. There you will find both Gmail, Chrome, Calendar, Launcher, Keyboard, Gallery, etc (common) apps but also other system apps which I won't recommand installing without precaution and knowledge on what each one does.

I've grown attached to these proprietary LG apps, so I de-odexed, resigned with CM platform keys, etc. so I can continue using them on CyanogenMod.
Hope it's useful for someone else.
Do this first
Copy this to /system/etc/permissions/com.lge.app.floating.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<permissions>
<library name="com.lge.app.floating"
file="/system/framework/com.lge.app.floating.res.apk"/>
</permissions>
Put com.lge.app.floating.res.apk in /system/framework/
Reboot.
For Memo
You can just install Memobin.apk like a normal apk.
For QuickMemo
You need to copy QMemobin.apk to /system/app/
You need to overwrite /system/framework/android.policy.jar with the one attached.
Old Information Below. DISREGARD
In order for QuickMemo to work properly, you need another app to launch QuickMemo like this:
Code:
sendBroadcast(new Intent("com.lge.QuickClip.action.START_QUICKCLIP"));
If you just add the QuickMemo activity to Apex or Nova launcher, it will look like it works, but it will only show your scribbling with a black background instead of the screenshot.
Same if you use startActivity() instead of sendBroadcast().
I spent a whole afternoon figuring this out.
I am going to look at hooking that up to the usual Vol+ + Vol- hotkeys somehow. Hopefully will only take a couple of days.

If you are on CM and if you get parse error, move apk to data/media and install from there. It works for me, I think is the problem in permissions.

Do what LGaljo said, or see the Official CyanogenMod thread for a fix for permissions or use adb install.

I will test this app.
And if you have the time and opportunety can you please also make a CM version of the dual view LG calendar?

I already set the xml and pushed QMemobin apk to system/app. I tried installing the apk memobin through device but I get a failed install and when I tried installing via adb I get 'device offline' error. I can't install apks from other places either because of the CM bug.

Device offline is because of new adb security features in 4.2.
You need the new version of adb from the Android SDK Tools: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
You only need to select and install the platform tools from the SDK Manager to get the latest adb.

hi,
this little guide explain how to disable completely ( brightness and touch) of hardware buttons.
PRE-REQUISITES:
-ROOT
-file manager with root permission
-terminal emulator
HOW TO:
-DISABLE SOFT KEYS
-with file manager open
/system/build.prop
and add this line at the end of file
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
(when you want to restore change 0 to 1)
-create a copy of
/system/usr/keylayout/touch_dev.kl
on you sdcard (for restore)
-with your file manager open
/system/usr/keylayout/touch_dev.kl
go to the end of file and under:
Code:
#x3 synaptics touch
delete the line incoming with:
Code:
key158
key139
key102
and save the file!
!!WARNING!! this disable the keys!
- DISABLE SOFT KEYS BACKLIGHT
-on terminal emulator with root permission insert this code:
Code:
echo 0 >/sys/devices/platform/button-backlight/leds/button-backlight/brightness
and
Code:
echo 0 >/sys/devices/platform/button-backlight/leds/button-backlight/max_brightness
-YOU ARE DONE!!
sometimes the brightness are restored but you can do a script to do this 2 lines of code at startup with Rom toolbox
if i help you click thanks )

just a suggestion, you should add a line to build.prop that enables the virtual buttons then
'cause if people do this without having a "backup plan", they can be doomed
IMO it has no sense for me navbar just takes screen space and our touch buttons are just perfect.

One use would be for gaming, as it eliminates kicking yourself to home screen with the buttons and getting disconnected. I do this often when I try to throw a grenade on mc4 software buttons and adequate warnings should indeed be added to this guide, but thanks!

If u go one step further (like me ^^) you can use the home button to go to standby... Waking it doesnt work, cause its touchscreen...

if u go another step u can use xposed framework module for remap this three buttons for what u want
you can do this on MIUI without any mod/3rd party tools. i don't know why such options is not available CM/AOSP based roms.
Can't seem to do this, no permission to edit in the build prop file, can't change permission either :s

If all you wish to do is disabling the backlight of the buttons, look for 'Backlight' under Buttons in the Settings menu, or, if you can't find it, try this.

Absolutely. I, personally, really like Nova Launcher. Managed to get the pro version for 49 cents a few months ago on special offer.
you can use adb with command "adb uninstall <package name>" in your case <quicksearchbox.apk>
obviously any method to remove it require root as it is a system package

But even if you do that you will just end up with dead space on the screen as the stock launcher won't fill in the gap left when the search bar goes missing.
The whole point of using a custom launcher is that you get to recover about 15% of your screen space back.

Which rom are you using?
Just copy paste the command lines and you'll turn off your touch buttons
The most important line is the second (chmod 444, = set permissions to keep buttons off)
Do it fast or the buttons turn on again soon
