For anyone who decides to purchase the app after using the APK attached to the thread - un-install the free version first otherwise the market installation fails.
Here's a few videos I made for a current demo:
Tag Demos
Car Dock Demo

Hmm that would be really cool. Embed a tag in my doorframe and set it to enable/disable wifi so I never have to do it by hand lol. Put one it my car steering wheel to turn on BT...you're a genius sir!

What I would be really interested in is an app which allowed users to easily assign a list of actions to certain tags, directly from the application.
I'd certainly help out in the development of the application if anybody else is interested

If this was something people were interested in it would be fairly trivial to write an app with a defined set of options and write the text tags instead of having to compose them by hand.

This would be my question as well. I think this is a cool idea. Definitely need to have an easy to set up user interface to enable tags.

I picked them up for $2-3 each.
I ordered a few from Finland for €1.30 a piece shipped. I also ordered a few from a US company for 2.95 each + shipping. All are 1k tags. Once I get them I'll let you know how they flush out.
Touchtag sells them reasonably cheap but it's a lot of 25 for #15 or $20, I think, but they are out of stock .

Once I get the tags I'll add a main UI for building/writing the text tags. I had assumed constructing them manually and then writing with one of the existing products would be easy enough, but it's pretty trivial to implement a simple text tag writer and accompanying UI.

I overlooked that entirely. I'll add toggle support as well.
I don't have tags to test writes tonight, but if my kids cooperate I'll try to get a UI and the associated logic set up over the next few days. Then when the tags arrive I'll get some video/screenshots up for people to are how it all works.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App

Ok, toggle support is in. I created a UI to start with tonight for tag building. The known SSIDs and app list aren't populated yet - I'll get to that some time this week. It needs cleaned up a bit as well, but it's a start for now.
It does looks like auto BT pairing isn't part of the API, so that my be out of the feature list. But enabling Wifi Tethering and associating with a known SSID should be no problem.

is it worth using something like the locale or tasker app? and working with them? They already have a good task maker GUI..?

I don't use either and wouldn't want to rip off a UI from them. We really need a very small subset of what those apps appear to offer for building tags and our use case doesn't seem to fit into what those apps do very well.
Moving forward I'll likely pull the "add" into a separate view to make it cleaner, as well as the write dialog. This is just a starting point currently to write the tags when I receive them.

sounds good anyhow, look forward to hearing more about the app...

New SS up with a cleaner UI using multiple views.

Think your giving the million doller idea away buddy. This could change everything essentially if you think about it? I won't have to touch anything on my phone for cretin things like turning on and off wifi or turning in Bluetooth when I get in car. Going to desktop mode when I get to work. Think u should make a good Buck off of this. Good luck.

I plan on putting a free version up here and a version on the market you can buy as a donate version.
I completed all of the wifi tethering stuff, as well as configuration options. I've got the write code in place (in theory - no tags to test on yet). Updated UI screenshots in the OP.
I've got a few more small additions to make and then it's just waiting for tags to arrive in the mail for testing.

Do RFID tags work with this technology? Lots on ebay but no NFC specific.

Here's another retailer. $1 a piece NFC labels:

[APP] SwitchMe Root Profile Manager needs INCS testers please!

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 some roms 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, be 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.
Market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.switchme
The Lite version allows the creation of two profiles, enough to test on.
Screens:

Just started to test it, created 2 profiles : one main, one for testing the switching. After first switch, loading circle started, remained stuck for 10secs (same happens when switching back), then restarted. New loading screen showed up, first load took about 5-7mins. After all loaded, switchme requested SU perms and new google account interface started.
One possible bug i noticed, usually when new google account interface starts, the mobile data service is started so you would have connectivity. This time it didn't start (i had it turned off in profile 1, then switched to profile 2). Although it works properly, it just didn't start at first startup.
All my installed/downloaded applications are not included in the app drawer, so that works nice.
But a drawback i noticed. If the app is focused on the privacy part of sharing one device, gallery pics&videos are accessible from both profiles, so you might want to think of a way of restricting pics&vids accessibility only to the profile that created them (big challenge from my point of view).
All default installed application seem to work without a problem.
One strange thing i noticed, our custom ROM has Beats audio included - in profile 1 (my default one) switching Beats audio on/off works, but on profile 2 (newly created profile) switching it off makes it stuck on off (switching it back on has no effect on audio).
As i don't have a necessity for this app to run it as a daily profile switcher, can't test more in-depth scenarios, but if you want something tested/have a scenario, write it up here or send a PM. Good luck with the development.

Fixed issue switching profiles (One X and others)
Fixed rare crash on adding/ removing profiles
Fixed many device specific issues from user logs

- Only bug/or maybe a feature I noticed is The app itself have different settings between logons. I mean If I optimize in one logon, I must made the same changes in other account too. Its sometimes frustating.
- And the setting "logout automatically" not worked correctly. When I speak to someone on phone and proximty turn of the screen, and I remove phone from my ear, It shows the logon screen, everytime.
Seems like everything worked flawlesly. But I have a question. What happens if I uninstall the program?

Ah now i see what you mean. However, my logic is still right. You are using it on a phone, and phones are not well suited to automatic log off. I mean just how often do you need to switch profiles? Surely you should be doing it manually...

Multiple user accounts code found in JB

SOURCE
If Android ever hopes to be make the move towards becoming a real desktop OS (this has to be in the back of Google’s mind), it’s going to need one thing first: multiple user accounts. This has long been one of the items at the top of my “Things That Grind My Android Gears” list. Towards the wee hours of last night, we received a tip from our developer friends after a discovery they made, revealed some pretty interesting code hidden deep inside Android 4.1 Jelly Bean AOSP.
What they found were clues that Google has been doing more than just toying around with the idea multiple user accounts on Android, and they’ve actually been busy incorporating code all over the OS that makes its future all but certain. Our developer Steven put together a nice little walk through and if you’re handy with ADB, you can see it for yourself.
Exploring Jelly Bean’s Unfinished Multiple Profile Switching Discovery and Testing Performed by Kevin Barry of TeslaCoil Software.
Commands (using ADB Shell)
pm = PackageManager
am = ActivityManager
*
pm create-user test (creates a user, ‘test’ in this example)
am switch-user 1 (switches to user ‘1’, which is ‘test’)
am switch-user 0 (switches to user ‘0’, which is your original configuration)
pm list-users (lists all users on current device)
pm remove-user 1 (removes the user ‘1’,which is ‘test’ in this example. *Note that create-user takes a string name while remove-user takes an integer)
Things To Note:
App settings are in /data/user/0/ with /data/data symlinked to it for backwards compatibility
Some system settings are in /data/system/users/0/ rather than just /data/system/
You can view 2011 commit messages in AOSP for all of these commands
Visually you can not determine what user is currently active.
Notifications and recent apps do not clear (remember… unfinished) and causes confusion to what user you’re on and will switch to whatever user that is running that particular app you click on.
Static wallpapers do not switch per user (seems to be shared) but live wallpapers do switch with each user.
Encrypted apps, which is all paid apps from the Play Store in Jellybean, will FC between users. *For example: if you run a paid app from one user on a different user that did not originally install the app, you will get the following error: "E/AndroidRuntime( 8707): Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.levelup.beautifulwidgets.BeautifulWidgets"
Apps all have different settings which allows you to login or have different settings per user. *(even gmail)
Example Shell (ADB):
[email protected]:/ # pm list-users
Users:
UserInfo{0rimary:3}
UserInfo{1:test:0}

Click to collapse
Pretty amazing find, right? The boys at Android Police made a similar discovery, giving a timeline of commits pushed to AOSP dating as far back as April 14th, 2011, all the way to March 28th, 2012. This shows Google has been working on UA’s for awhile now. All the pieces are in place. Multiple user accounts are coming to Android. The question is no longer*if — but when. Excited?

It makes sense with tablets and smart TVs, where you get multiple people using them.
Someone on here has already made a profile switching app. Not sure if it's as effective as profile switching on Windows, but anyone that's interested should give it a look.

I have SwitchMe and I definitely would recommend using it for a battery saving profile, I use it in situations when I know I'm not going to be using my phone much but need the battery to last. I get really good battery life setting up a bare bones profile. It always worked well for me on ICS but I haven't tried it yet on JB. It took 3-10 minutes to boot back and forth in my experience with it, and it takes some battery to do that so I wouldn't use it for constantly switching. It works for what I use it for but a baked in option that didn't take as long to switch would be awesome.

Yeah. But this would be useful for devices with limited memory and or no root

I'm running a job ROM at the moment and I can say with complete confidence there will be multiple accounts in jellybean

Would be nice though. You could hand your phone to a friend to do something and have them on your profile that only has making calls and certain apps available.

Looks like we can now access the multi-account feature.

[App] SwitchMe - Share Your Device - MULTIPLE USER SPACES

Hi guys Im one of the developers of SwitchMe - an app that creates multiple user spaces. We have just released a new build which should fully support the T2s. Please have a look and let me know if everything is working as it should!
Thanks in advance, PR after the break:
.................................................................................................
SwitchMe - share your device!
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.
SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple user spaces just as you would on a desktop computer, with each profile having its own separate system settings, apps and data.
Some of the benefits of this technology:
Privacy
Securely share one device among many users, protect your accounts with passwords and log out automatically.
Kids
Create a profile for the kids, with only the apps and access you feel comfortable with.
Gaming
Overclock your profile for maximum performance in intensive games
Speed
Imagine a buttery smooth profile, with no kids games, messengers or bloatware to slow things down.
Testing
Create a sandbox profile to easily test applications and themes - no more nandroid nightmares!
Battery
Switch to a profile which only contains the essentials to save power through brute force.
Critical usage warning:
Incorrect use of this application can potentially harm your device. Before proceeding with use we strongly recommend that you perform a full nandroid backup through the device recovery.
READ THE HELP FILE CAREFULLY TO AVOID ISSUES
Without the Key, this application allows a maximum of 2 profiles and no security features.
Only the standard Android implementation of Apps2SD is currently supported. Use all others at your own risk.
Most devices should be compatible as long as they have enough free internal memory to create secondary profiles. The application will warn users if available memory is low.
These of course are only suggestions - there are plenty of other uses for the functionality SwitchMe offers.
Market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.switchme
The free version allows the creation of two profiles and has no security features.

Guys there have been reports of the app being blank sometimes. Im trying to work out if this is something to do with superuser vs supersu. If youve experienced this, please let me know and be sure to tell me which of the two youre using...

I haven't been having that problem since I disabled the "switch screen functionality" in the settings. I do use the "fast switch" option and just open the app when I want to switch profiles. I am using SuperSU v0.96

You disabled the two main functions just because you sometimes couldn't see the statistics page? That seems a little extreme...

No, not just because it didn't show statistics, but I wouldn't be able to switch users unless I rebooted the device. When the problem would occur it also wouldn't bring up the switch user screen on the lock screen after waking up. If the icon notification was enabled it just opened up the statistic screen, not the user switch screen. I would get stuck in the current users profile until I rebooted and hoped the switch user screen would show after start up.
I like the functionality of the switch user screen but with it glitching like that on my device the only sure way to be able to switch profiles is to disable all that and just go into the app/statistic screen and click switch at the bottom.

I just noticed that there is a widget for this app that allows switching profiles without opening the app.

I think your problem is with supersu (if thats what youre using). If possible, change it to superuser or at least make sure that youve set supersu up to always grant and whatever.
Supersu is very green and i wouldnt recommend it to anyone.

I have used this app for awhile now and really love it as it allows both my girlfriend and I to separately use my nexus 7 without interfering with each others settings. However, I recently flashed a CM 10 nightly (which i really like) and the switcher no longer works, freezing during each switch attempt.
I know it says CM 10 is not supported at the current time on the app page, but are there an plans to include this support in the future? Any info is appreciated and thanks for your work.

[ROM] [Project ] Pure AOSP 5.0.2_plus Google Updates (2/1/2015) Mako Beta

The idea behind this project is to compile a Pure AOSP ROM. The difference is I have been little by little including and testing new commits added to the for the most part unstable staging master branch code from Google AOSP that has not yet been tagged for a future Lollipop update., hence the reason for 5.0.2_Plus name. The only change added to the code that was not committed first by Google is that the ZIP can be flashed in TWRP without replacing TWRP with the Stock Recovery and that is it. At the moment because of limited testing as I do not own a Nexus 4 and all changes have been tested on the Nexus 5 felt untill a few return performance reports best to call this a beta version. With that said the same changes have made some improvments and fixed a few issues experienced by Nexus 5 users using the oficial 5.0.1 update or compiled from the AOSP android-5.0.2_r1 branch. So if start receiving comments that all has been well on the Mako build or see say 100 download without a complaint reported will remove the beta tag. I suspect this will be the case as the commits are not device related.
I honestly started the project for the Nexus 5 with the idea that maybe as a community a few developers could help work on the project so everyone had an updated version of the latest release version that included the latest fixes and had not intended on compiling for the Nexus 4. After my second release another XDA member had asked if it would be possible to make a Nexus 4 port for a friend. At that point as there had been little interest in the project by other Nexus 5 Developers I would post the Mako ota package I compiled for the user who had asked for one. I also have my own Starship Rom and am part of a new developer team so again was meant as a community project and not intended to be released as my Rom or really even released at all with the intention of being a resource for other developers to either use as the base of whatever new AOSP Rom they may intend on developing or selectively picking pieces or fixes. So going with the same idea after compiling the asked for Mako version thought why just limit the idea to just the Nexus 5 as all Nexus devices share the same code from AOSP with exception of needing to add a different set of propriety vendor blobs and choosing a different lunch command for building. So the same goes as intended for the Nexus 5. If any Nexus 4 developers would be interested in joining in on the project Just let me know and I will grant full access to the Github account and create a new branch so we can test and insure the master branch is always %100 stable if it is going to be used by other Nexus developers..

So far I have been using the "Mini Modular package" for testing without any issues.
Root
Root is optional but recommend SuperSU
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Have had version 2.37 in storage and had been using without issue but updated to 2,40 with last test without any issues. What can I say Im lazy that way so unless having an issue just used what works but figured most would grab the latest so thought it best to give it a test before posting.
Kernel is %100 Stock but going with past experience if mrg666 has a Kernel availible for your device it should be the Kernel you are using.

Change Log 5.0.2_plus_r2
Removed the below commit "Add ip6-localhost to /system/etc/hosts."
https://github.com/android/platform_system_core/commit/25147416bb105914c3cdf8fd65ca7cc20dae0f3e
Looks like a few apps are not fans of having an ip6 entry for localhost. Transparent Weather Widget for example can not find the device location with the enty included.
In looking for the cause of the above issue also reverted.
https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/commit/e4ec09da0b4a31e23f1a19bdd1ea99e0f87cadac
Honestly reverted looking for the cause and did not remember to restore once identifying the cause. Overall is an old commit and dont think will make any difference whatsoever or would have been tagged for use in a past release so not going to bother.
As usual I am not responsible for your device and you are using anything posted in this thread at your own Risk.
This is %100 AOSP with no extra theming at all including bootanimation so no screen shots, as a Nexus User are probably aware what AOSP looks like at this point.

Don't mean to be rude, but you're still living in 2014, apparently. LOL . Classic mistake, I guess. Check the title dude.

Its cool, such a classic XDA first comment though. Could discover the holy grail and receive 15 comments about a spelling error. Adding I guess makes it that much better. Going to leave it in and see how many times your comment is over looked by someone so proud to have noticed it first, lol.

This is exactly what i have been looking for, we need more Roms like this. Thanks OP downloading now:good:

I hope you don't think it was something personal, man. Your title made my day. With all these exams, I've been all stressed out, and your title made reminded me of the time when I was sitting in bed with the laptop in front of me, thinking it's a long time till the exam session. LOL

Good rom so far, only thing was that data roaming was enabled by default.

I was just joking but still think it will be amusing to see how many skip past your post to point out the same. I actually test software for a living after it has been installed on an energy management diagnostic system both for new version testing and quality control before shipping and need to sign off that each system was checked out including the date. Had just recently worked on my birthday and was a highly unusually busy day but ended up signing off the date as 1976 (my birth year) on about forty systems. What is even more humorous is the amount of complaints from technicians who thought they received a system using a Nexus 7, now 9 for use as a portable User interface believed they had received software that had not been checked out since 1976. With that said most installers come from an HVAC technical school background and still use AOL as their contact email address. Lol!

Will look into that I'm happy to know it is working out. I basically just took my N5 source added the Mako vendor blobs and compiled using a different lunch command. Will go back and see if data roaming being enabled by default is a result of my updates or is set in general aosp 5.0.2 after work. Even though intention is keeping as pure as can be should still be looked at.
Think it would be nice if we could get a few devs together from across the current Nexus devices lineup and do our best to keep an aosp Rom available adding in the latest updates and bug fixes into the most current release for all Nexus devices. Not just for users but for other devs to use in their own aosp based work. Beleive if we could get something like that going would be pretty sweet and not all that time consuming. Still lots of updates added by Google devs every day. Some a bit more complicated then what I have done that a small group could easily bang out and test. Everything comes from the Master aosp branch that can get messy with constant new commits around the clock but think if selective in adding into latest release could be a beneficial project. So using my phrase of the week with that said I am going to build and post a version for all the Nexus devices in an attempt at gaining interest in the project. Again with that said I am torn for tonight as can try producing thr first N5 version that is sprint compatible or build for my Nexus 9. I am very much looking forwored to trying it out with jusst Simple ol aosp but at the same time feal bad for the Nexus 5 Sprint users who are all stuck on stock because other Roms are missing the aditional files added in for the radio to work. Decitions, decitions, decitions.

LMAO. That was funny

flashed yesterday with nothing to complain until now
thanks for this build
edit: found first bug (maybe)
whle setting Chronus Weather and also Transparent Clock Widget
the phone couldn't find it's location.
Pop up on the screen stated....
"Cannot retrieve location!"
Network geolocation is disabled
Set a custom location or enable location
already try High Accuracy, Battery saving and Device only but it never show my location
the widget always appear with "Loading weather data"
If i choose Battery saving then Google Location Reporting will turn grey and not clickable, other two option made it clickable again but still my location show "Loading weather data"
maybe someone are having this too?
how to fix it please?
thank you very much

Think I got the fix and am compiling now. Hopfully have up by tonight if not morning. I am on the N5 though and have no issue with beatifull widgets finding my location or maps with navigation working which is my goto test apps along with GPS test. After reading your post tried Transparent Clock Widget and the app was not able to find my location. I did manage to fix this on my N5 so am rebuilding for Mako using the same source. Now have all the Mako Vendor proprietary blobs set up in vendor so can build either Hammerhead or Mako depending on lunch command. Still though will need testing on N4 as I am on the N5.

Know prob but had been unsuspectingly busy but compiling the what believe will fix the issue for the N4 and it comes down to the smallest commit.
