[Solved] Multi-user switching - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have a question to You guys about the multi user stuff in android.
I know it has been implemented in android 4.2 but I have never used it so far and now I've flashed jellybam (android 4.3).
The problem is I just can't switch the users. I click on the "setup user", the phone changes to the other user I want to set up (restricted permissions) and I can't go back to my main account. The only way is to reboot the phone.
There's nothing on the lockscreen to change it, neither in the power menu
Do You know how to change users?
EDIT: Ok, I've changed settings to display users in power menu.
Thread can be closed.

[Q] Multitasking in ICS for galaxy tab

Sorry for the noob question, but how do i pull up the multitasking menu on the CM9 ROM (ICS) for Galaxy tab? I tried keeping the home button pressed, but that did nothing. Anyone know?
Hello,
I had the same problem.
What I did was: by using root browser I went to system\build.prop and edited a value called persist.tablet.hiderecent=1 to 0
After reboot, this will show the recent apps icon at the bottom left corner and you can jump quickly between apps.
You can also enable other software keys from the build.prop.
Thanks! Will try it out when I go home.
Tried to change it using a couple of root browsers, but was unable to edit it. I think it had to do with the permissions. So I tried changing it, but that didn't work too.
Any suggestions?
Looks like a new version of ICS has been released for the Galaxy tab. Will try that out first.
Works great with the new ROM!
hi mate
for working home button, download and flash via cwm sbradymobile_fixes.zip, rotation fixes.

Enter HBOOT:
---------------------
To enter HBOOT all you need to do is turn off your phone and turn it back on by holding "Volume Down" and the "Power" buttons for a few seconds. If your dont get to a white screen in a few seconds just try holding them down again. Make note of what version you are running as this is for 1.13
Preliminary:
-----------------
- Download the zip at the end of this post for all the needed files
- Install "HTC_Fastboot_Drivers_3.0.exe"
- Transfer the three zip files onto the root of your sdcard
Bootloader:
----------------
My HBOOT is 1.13 and this only applies to that version!! If you have 1.16 then look HERE for this sections instructions
- Select "Charge Only" on your conectivity menu
- In settings turn on USB debugging (Settings->Applications->Development)
- On your PC enter the "revolutionary-0.4pre4" directory
- Run "revolutionary.exe" with admin rights (Right click->Run as admin...)
- As you are waiting for it to find your phone go to "http://revolutionary.io/"
- The Revolutionary program will ask for a beta key and will display your phones serial number. On the website under the "Downloads" heading half way down the page is a "Download for Windows" link. Click this link but cancel the download. This will pop up the beta key window.
- Paste the beta key from the website into the Revolutionary program and wait for it to do its work
- After a while you will be back at HBOOT but you will see "-REVOLUTIONARY-" at the top and "S-OFF" listed
- Select "Reboot" and let Android drop back to the UI as usual and the Revolutionary program will re-locate the phone.
- If Revolutionary does not find your phone again just close the program and re-open it with admin rights
- It will ask if you want to install ClockWorkMod, enter "y" and let it work its magic
- After a while you will be back in HBOOT, select "Recovery" and you will drop to CMW
Root:
-------
- In CWM select "Install ZIP from SDCARD"
- Select "Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip" and install it.
NOTE: Now you have a nice recovery program for writing and backing up your rom. If you stop here you will have your same android version but the ability to put whatever you want on your phone.
Install A ROM:
---------------------
- Boot into HBOOT and then into CWM by selecting "Recovery"
- Backup your old ROM! If you do not do this you will have nothing to go back to in a failure!
- In CWM select "Install ZIP from SDCARD"
- Select "Factory Reset" and then "Wipe Cache" as well
- Select "Codename-Android-3.5.0-VIVO.zip" and install it
- Select "Go Back" and then "Install" again
- Choose "gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip" this time
- Select "Go Back" and then "Restart"
And now you have Jelybean installed with all of the Google apps!!!
NOTES ON JELLYBEAN ROM:
---------------------------------------------
Their are quite a few random bugs but they are quite minor in my opinion. I was able to use my phone like every other day at work without a single one of the issues below getting in my way. If you want a rock stable ROM then I recommend you check out Project X which is ICS and nearly every bug has been hammered out.
Helpfull Notes:
---------------
Their is no HTC Sense so no HTC apps anymore. For WiFi teather download "Barnacle Wifi Teather" from the Play store. It will fail first run as it needs to setup settings but then it works great.
- Camera App, The front facing camera casues glitches. If you try then do this to restore sanity:
1) Go to Settings -> Apps -> All and select "Gallery"
2) Clear data

BUG LIST:
---------------
Notification light:
No light for charging <== Battery icon changes and phone wakes up when plugged in as usual, who cares?!
Wrong colour for notifications (orange not green) <== Who cares?!
Call volume is very low or non-existent <== No volume problems for me!
Camera: <== All the below problems exist
There is no touch to focus
Video recording does not work
Front camera does not work
Back light:
If screen brightness is set to 5% or lower they will not work. <== Does not happen to me!
Buttons can turn off after 5 seconds of inactivity. This is a jellybean feature
On reboot back lights may not turn on, you can activate them by adjusting your brightness through settings. <== Has never happened!
MMS does not work (for some carriers) <== Im with SaskTel and it works
Works if connected to Wi-Fi (for some carriers)
Re-enter your APN settings manually may fix issue
Data sometimes won’t activate when enabled <== Again worked with SaskTel without setup
Re-enter your APN settings manually may fix issue
Wi-Fi is buggy for some <== Seems good to me
Go to Wi-Fi settings, menu button> advanced, there is an option enabled by default saying that any low range Wi-Fi will be disconnected automatically.
You can also try to set router to wireless g only.
Possible fix from nik: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zbl8fi8ito...Fix_for_JB.zip
Radio Strength in general is lower and slower <== I noticed fewer bars on my AP but a decent connection otherwise
Default AOSP Keyboard becomes default for no reason <== I don't have a different keyboard so im good
Swift key gestures (eg, backward swipe for delete) sometimes don’t work double tap the menu button to fix.
YouTube/Video playback reboots phone <== Disable HW overlays fixed this for me
This could be due to flash, possible temp fix, go to "settings->developer options" & "Disable HW overlays"
Other Camera apps may not work <== I only take pictures so the stock works for my needs
Google now/voice dictation is slow to open and seems that input volume is low <== LOL, did this ever work for anyone?!
Gallery: <== I have not seen any gallery issues
Has some back scrolling issues.
Possible fix for the Gallery:
1) Delete the .nomedia file (and other “hidden files”) from /sdcard/ and-or /data/
2) Wipe Media Storage Data (Settings>Apps>Media Storage)
3) Reboot.
4) If all else fails try formatting memory card and re-adding music and pictures back. Backup! Backup! Backup!
Face-unlock does not work (for some) <== Never worked with my mug anyways as my beard grows to fast lol
After using the camera, brightness won't revert back to original state, it stays bright <== Never seen this one before
This also happens in ICS roms not just JB roms
Need to manually reset brightness.
Or close camera from “recent apps” menu
Ability to change the volume even when the phone is locked <== Media volume can be changed when locked (This is normal)
Text looks "corrupt/fuzzy" <== Everything looks good to me!
That is really great. Thanks for summarizing all the steps. Even I found it difficult when I installed my first ROM.
By the way how is the ROM working. I read that there are lot of issues because of the kernel. Those will not be shoved till the time new kernel is available. Is the call volume issue fixed? Man it would be great if you can list down major bugs.
Thanks for the steps one more time.

I will be using my phone all day tomorrow at work so I should find any of the bugs but so far I have not found a single one besides the front camera issue. Call volume was also not a problem and I did a test call first thing.
I will post my Impressions tomorrow.
P.S - Don't be afraid to use the Thanks button!
Thank you.
I am also planning to install it. But I was bit skeptical after seeing all the bug list.
I wil wait for your feedback on the ROM.
Thanks.

I added my observations to the bug list in my first post. Over all I find it perfectly usable for my every day routine but if you use the camera features and videos often then it may piss you off. Check out Project X if you want to upgrade to ICS while this version gets some of its bugs smoothed out.
Yup .... M already on project 4.1 x for last 3 weeks.... And m loving it.. yesterday I tried code 3.5 jb as well but found it very buggy and rolled bak to 4.1x again.
Everything was fine... Until I had a call for more than 5 mins.... After a while person on the other side was not able hear me properly....which p***ed me off....
I vl wait for a stable jb version..

Multiple Users Crashing

Hi,
I am having a problem setting up multiple users. I have installed the latest CarbonRom JB3 11-06 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2442576).
When I go to create a second user account the tablet will crash restart when I click on "Set up now". I looked and couldn't find anything about multiple user support being removed from the ROM so any help would be appreciated as I need to share the tablet.
I fixed the issue. Just went back to a 4.2.2 rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2373198

[Q] (ViperOne) Crash Loop After Editing Lockscreen Items

Hi All,
Running ViperOne on an M7 One. In Venom Tweaks I'm attempting to change the icons that appear on the lockscreen from the defaults. If it's relevant, I'm coming from ViperOne 4.7, and did a wipe in aroma when installing 5.8, I'm having no other issues with this ROM and had no such issue in 4.7.
Anyway, as soon as I toggle the "custom shortcuts" option in Lock Screen->Misc->Shortcuts, I get a "com.android.ui has stopped responding..." message, and then loop. All types of reboots continue the loop as soon at they hit the initial lock screen. So far only a factory reset in recovery has been able to fix the loop for me.
I found the error hard to Google, due to the common name of the process that's involved. One solution I did find involved those who removed all traces of Sense during ROM install, as that apparently would leave you unable to change the icons on lockscreen (I'm not sure about this, but I didn't remove Sense so it doesn't apply anyway).
Any pointers as to what I could try would be appreciated!

[WEIRD PROBLEM]Home screen quick settings/notification menu GONE on MULTIPLE 6.0 roms

Root, TWRP 3.0.2-3
Problem appeared on: SLICK-S427-ROW_by_SHENGE 6.0 rom
Problem:
notification icons on home screen top bar are gone
quick settings/notification pull down menu (the one with wifi, flashlight, airplane, etc.) on home screen cannot be accessed (neither by swiping down nor by using a Nova Launcher widget)
On the lock screen they both work. On a 5.0.2 rom (miui7_v6.5.26) they both work as well.
I have tried options, different launchers, TWRP factory reset, TWRP full wipe, TWRP format data and flashed several other top 6.0 roms - nothing helped. Even a full format and installing a 6.0 rom that I know worked before!
Cheers.
Same problem
I have exactly the same problem. Even the alarm wont go off because for some reason the notifications dont work. The problem happened when I tried to put in a second SIM and since then I can't get to fix it.
my solution
I probably should have posted this long ago, but forgot. Anyway, here's my issue:
it's the additional security PIN.
I have tried multiple unofficial ROMs for my phone. Some of them had the option of setting an additional security PIN (10+ characters) for situations like SIM card change (anti-theft measures built into the ROM). The problem is, when you later change the ROM to one without such an option, it will somehow "remember" (I guess the info is stored on a different partition or something) that it should ask for the security PIN upon changing SIM cards, but the current ROM lacks this functionality. This is why the phone acts so weird.
The solution for me was: flash a ROM that had this security PIN anti-theft option, enter it and disable it completely. Then you should be able to flash and enjoy whatever ROM you want.
Hope it helps.
EDIT: this could possibly also be achieved by installing an anti-theft apk that has this functionality, but I have not tried that.
Which ROM
Do you remember which ROM has the feature? Cause I cant seem to find one.
I don't quite remember, but most likely it was one of the AOSP LEMONADE family, a Lollipop.
Thank you very much sir, my problem finally got solved. For future reference, the ROM I used is this one: http://www.needrom.com/download/aosp-lemonade-v3/ although I' m sure many more will have the same anti-theft option.
