Enable multi-user feature on your Android one phone (running Android 5.1 Lollipop) without flashing .zip through custom recovery. All you need is root access.
Just go to /system , edit your "build.prop" file and add the following lines:
fw.max_users=3
fw.show_multiuserui=1
Save and reboot your phone. Done! Tested on Micromax Canvas A1.
Aren't there other procedures too? What's the point of it?

Very useful method. I test it and successful on my black view bv6000 running marshmallow
for those having trouble getting into the guest account and it sticks on unable to open, setting up, optimizing etc,
try and delete your setup-wizard apps in system-priv-apps as it sometimes will cause issues in setup of a additional user.
LG V20 confrimed working with this work around. still some other glitches, but good enough to add a kid user to your device!
Hello,
I have the multiuser service successfully enabled on my Acer liquid Z630S (Android 6 Marshmallow installed), but there is some problem.
I hope that someone can help me.
1) If I use the administrator account all works good.
If I use another user or the guest user, into settings the option "home page" and "audio" are missing.
Ringtones does not works, phone vibrates only.
It is no possible to manage the ringtones not even with physical buttons: the volume bar goes up and down, but no effect.
This problem affects only the phone ringtones: whatsapp, messenger and other ringtones and notifications have no problem.
Please, someone knows what permission do I must set for give to users the permissions for manage and use the audio ringtones, please?
XML files to set user permission are stored in /data/system/users, but I have not idea about what I would have to modify.
2) Files stored in the external SD card are not private, but available for all users, even the guest.
Please, someone know if it is possible to make private for any user also the files stored in the external SD card?
I thank you in advance everyone will advise me.
Greetings

Dear all,
I am desperately looking for a STK.apk from the ICS SDK.
I am currently unable to install the sdk since I have no access to a computer right now.
Can someone please post a link to the latest stk.apk?
Sent from my I9000 using XDA App
Edit:
I have found another STK.apk than the one from post 3. The latter one has been extracted from OneCosmic's ICS Beta 1. It works fine for me as well. Apparently my Dual SIM adapter does not need all functions of STK, so it may not work for sending provider codes.
Anyone who is able to use the attached STK with provider codes, please provide feedback for others.

mmeeetooo i need it plzzzzz
Success
To all it may concern:
I downloaded the STP.apk (SIM ToolKit) from the ICS Apps Dump , copied the apk to "system/app" and changed the permissions to Owner: RW, Group: R, Others: R
To do so, use any Root Explorer app.
As I am not yet allowed to paste links, please PM me if you want me to sent it to you.
Works like a charm now...
Steps:
1. Download 'stk.apk' and copy it somewhere on your phone
2. Move it to '/system/app' with a root enabled file manager
3. Change the permissions as described above
4. Reboot
F.y.i.: Root does not work on my ES File Explorer.
I use 'File Manager HD', cause it's easy to use and it is free.
Dont forget to enable root in the settings.
Permissions can be changed by long press on the file.

Well I am on Onecosmics great RC1 with "updated" kernel, which is also 4.0.3 and it works perfect. It works even better than on GB.
I am using a dual SIM adapter which needs STK to switch between SIMs. On GB Stock, the process crashed from time to time and I had to restart the phone in order to be able to switch SIMs. Now, I doesn't crash anymore.
- Did you copy the file with a root-enabled explorer and assign the correct permissions?
- Do you have any radio related issues on your ICS installation? (e.g. incoming/outgoing calls working, no mobile data issues etc.)
I did all the things above, can't instal it....
Need other version of stk.apk?
Greetz
I don't think that you need another version, since this one is from the ICS System App Dump and it works perfect with 4.03
Do you receive any FCs on the Phone process? Can you copy stk.apk to system/app ? Did you check permissions (i.e. rw-r--r--)? Is the stk.apk still in the correct folder after reboot? Did you reboot?
A detailed description of what happens would be an asset if you want help.
I did everything as described here. Seems that app somehow works, but something isn't like it should be. My confirmation through stk doesnt reach back to server I guess.
STK depends on RIL!

I'm not surprised... this is the same behavior I saw on CyanogenMod 7.
SIM Toolkit is heavily dependent on the Radio Interface Layer (RIL) implementation. As I understand it, the RIL is the hardware/software component which interacts with the phone's modem/baseband in order to call, SMS, 3G, etc. SIM Toolkit and USSD codes are all dependent on separate functions in the hardware, and the software layer must also implement hooks for them to work properly. The original poster's SIM switching gadget might work because the functions it relies on are implemented, while the ones we need are not.
Also, I've noticed that certain operations work on Onecosmic's ICS which don't work on Teamhacksung's, such as *522#, my bank's mobile interface. STK has only ever worked for me on Samsung stock ROMs.
More info about Android's RIL software and how it interacts with the hardware: http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/development/pdk/docs/telephony.html
Thanks aorth, for this detailed insight.
So I must consider myself as a 'lucky guy'.
Could the issue be fixed by using or porting a Nexus S modem?

You must be root and you need a file manager with root access.
c.f. instructions on first page, post #3.
If you are not used to do this kind of stuff, be cautious and follow the instructions step by step. PM me, if you are unsure.
Do it at your own risk. I am not responsible for whatever could be the consequences of your doing.
I've just downloaded and followed the instructions for installation at post #3 and it worked fine! I'm using Onecosmic's ICS RC3.1 in my SGS.

What exactly does not work? Do you have working root access?
If you are not able to copy the files to the specified location, then either your root is not working or you have not enabled it correctly.
In the app I mentioned, you must do the following:
- start 'file manager'
- press left button and select 'settings' from the context menu
- tick 'Root Explorer' and 'Mount system writeable' checkboxes
- allow the app root access whenever asked...

I am not responsible for your device being dead, you flashing stock ROM, you using your device as a brick, or any harm to any information, personal or intellectual property, terrorism, vandalism, theft, or any other thing by use or misuse of this mod.
This guide is for educational purpose only
Introduction
It sucks when you forget your passwords
But Gmail account can save you. But what for those who don't have it?
There are some methods to reset them
Wiping data being most popular
But, why loosing precious data when there is a easier or easiest to do method
This is a new method found and tested by me on a rooted device but the resources it uses are available to be used without root too, so it may work on unrooted devices too.
This method uses Aroma File Manager by amarullz in Recovery Mode of the device to delete the password database related files. So, it should work on all devices!
So, first you need to download AROMA FILE MANAGER from this thread :-
Aroma File Manager
Credits:-
*amarullz for Amazing Aroma File Manager
*m.sabra for information about which files are related to passwords and pattern
Instructions:-
1. Download Aroma File Manager.
2. Place it in the root of your sdcard(Preferred)
3. Reboot into recovery
4. For CWM:
Mount all partitions (including sd-ext if you have it)
And flash Aroma File Manager from sdcard
For stock recovery(Samsung e3):
In stock recovery, there is no option to mount partitions, so
Flash Aroma File Manager, Click on menu option and go to settings
Select Mount All Partitions
Now, exit from Aroma File Manager and reflash it.
Now, you will see each partition is mounted
5. Now, go to /data/system
Note : If you have sd-ext mod to increase internal storage, go to /sd-ext/system/
6. Now, If you have to remove pattern lock, long press and delete gesture.key
If you want to remove password, delete password.key
7. Exit the Aroma File Manager
8. Reboot
9. Enjoy
Thanks.
Now my friend is going to cry a lot
Big thanks!
I had forgotten my PIN and I can do nothing for help :crying: because I disabled the root access by adb, I tried any method like installing a app to bypass the lock screen, use adb command to disable and much much more...
BUT IT DID NOT WORK!!!
A big thank to the developer, again, because you help me save all my data and save my time.
Thanks Areeb, you just saved my friend data. :thumbup:

Dear XDA community users and Xolo A500s owners,
I found that we don't have a dedicated thread for this phone,thus starting a new one with some of my contributions.
NOTE: Never use the FLASHTOOL (any version) for A500s as it bricks the device since the preloader.bin file from stock rom also corrupts the rom in case you need to restore. :laugh::laugh:
Flash CWM or unbrick A500s with SP flash tool procedure
1) Extract the attached file on your computer (link)
2) Download xolo drivers from here (link)
3) Shutdown your phone and remove battery
4) Open SpFlash tool with admin priviledges and click next to scatter file to choose the MT6572 one from the downloaded folder
5) The tool will pick and check preloader.bin automatically and remaining ones will be unchecked (Select preloader.bin only if your device is bricked if its not and you only need to have cwm installed proceed to step 6)
6) To install CWM now double click on boot and recovery image and point to the downloaded folder to select boot_patch and recovery_patch accordingly (Remember to check it)
7)Now click Download and connect the phone via usb to computer (During this process your PC will show unknown device so in order to install device drives download xolo drivers and choose to select the inf file and it will get installed).Remove USB once and ensure download is clicked prior and then usb cable is inserted to PC.
8) The process will begin and a green circle saying ok will be displayed and thus the flashing is successful.
9) Now disconnect the device and put in battery and hold power and volume up key to sucesfully boot into CWM and there by unbrick your device...
10) Then you can install any custom rom created by other developers.
Note: If you wish to load complete stock rom for Xolo A500s download the stock rom from the links ABTri has posted in his forum and replace the preloader.bin with the attached one. This will restore your ROM to factory default with stock recovery.
To begin with i present you the stock deodexed cwm rom for our own Xolo A500s phone.
Steps:
1) Root your phone with framaroot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2293503&d=1380569629)
2) Install MTKdroidTools 2.4.8 from here (http://dfiles.eu/files/fmnok7ke7)
Download and run the MTKdroidTools.exe (Note enable usb debugging on your phone and grant root access from the mtkdroid app to access your phone)
Then backup your existing rom by clicking on root ,backup,recovery tab and backup. this will back up your entire stock rom in case you want to revert.
3) For CWM install click on Recovery and boot and choose the option "To choose the boot.img file" and then select your stock boot.img file which u backed up. Next it will patch it with CWM autoinstaller just click yes and ok and the device will reboot. Woola you now have a working CWM to proceed.
Steps to install the deodexed rom
1) Boot into CWM recovery and download the stock deodex rom from here (http://www.toobigtosend.net/download/279913c4-3bd3-11e3-a7f9-005056ac53f8/)
2) Copy the downloaded rom to the sd card--> clockwordmod -> backup folder
3) Say restore and navigate to the cwmbackup folder and select it
4) Clear Dalvik cache and cache partition
Thats its reboot and you are on deodexed rom..
More download links will be available shortly Stay tuned..
This is the start of my development so i need more ideas on what can be included additionally.
And yes use the thank meter if you want to appreciate the work

Dear XDA community users and Xolo A500s owners,
I found that we don't have a dedicated thread for this phone,thus starting a new one with some of my contributions.
NOTE: Never use the FLASHTOOL (any version) for A500s as it bricks the device since the preloader.bin file from stock rom also corrupts the rom in case you need to restore.
To begin with i present you the stock deodexed cwm rom for our own Xolo A500s phone.
Steps:
1) Root your phone with framaroot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2293503&d=1380569629)
2) Install MTKdroidTools 2.4.8 from here (http://dfiles.eu/files/fmnok7ke7)
Download and run the MTKdroidTools.exe (Note enable usb debugging on your phone and grant root access from the mtkdroid app to access your phone)
Then backup your existing rom by clicking on root ,backup,recovery tab and backup. this will back up your entire stock rom in case you want to revert.
3) For CWM install click on Recovery and boot and choose the option "To choose the boot.img file" and then select your stock boot.img file which u backed up. Next it will patch it with CWM autoinstaller just click yes and ok and the device will reboot. Woola you now have a working CWM to proceed.
Steps to install the deodexed rom
1) Boot into CWM recovery and download the stock deodex rom from here (http://www.toobigtosend.net/download/279913c4-3bd3-11e3-a7f9-005056ac53f8/)
2) Copy the downloaded rom to the sd card--> clockwordmod -> backup folder
3) Say restore and navigate to the cwmbackup folder and select it
4) Clear Dalvik cache and cache partition
Thats its reboot and you are on deodexed rom..
More download links will be available shortly Stay tuned..
This is the start of my development so i need more ideas on what can be included additionally.
And yes use the thank meter if you want to appreciate the work
Added new download link.
http://yadi.sk/d/j4zOwIfrBTMSp
Good news everyone, so the rom is finally here!!
DOWNLOAD LINK ROM v1
Changelog v1:
1) Stock de-odexed & zipaligned based on 4.2.2
2) Removed all bloatwares which includes Xolo specific apps,google +, clock,taalk,themes,stock keyboard ,music etc
3)Added Xperia mod keyboard,inverted playstore,sms and calendar app.
4)Bravia mod is attached although i didnt see much difference
5)Viper audio added and works smooth.
6)Native Kitkat apps like google now,search and laucher added.
7)Font change to incorporate the new kitkat roboto
8)Included ES file explorer
Do not install the hangout from playstore as it may crash since the framework is updated to support 4.4.I will post the updated hangout app for leaked 4.4
How to install
1) Root your phone as mentioned above and have CWM installed
2) Copy the rom in \sdcard and then clear/wipe data cache and dalvik cache. Format system also
3) Go to mounts and storage and ensure to see /system is mounted (unmount system is what we want to see on cwm menu)
4) Select install from sdcard and navigate through the zip and install it.
First boot may take some time to install and thats it the rom is up.
Enjoy and share your experience to make this development ongoing
Please hit thanks if you like the work....

Downloaded the Rom..
>Nice UI
>Xperia keyboard is better den stock one
>File manager is removed.
>Installed Apps (Super SU, ES File explorer, Facebook r not updated to latest version)
>Phone is smoother (due to deodexing/ZIPaligning i think)
>Not many extra tweaks / Vanila OS
> Play store is different. I think it may be of kitkat / or it may be modded.
In settings / display, theme is not working (FC)

Use a Root Explorer with superuser permissions to navigate to /system/build.prop
and open the file with a text editor. Add the line
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
at the end of the file. Save and close. Reboot. Done

Be aware that editing your build.prop might not allow you to install future MIUI updates.
So take a backup first. After every update, take a backup. Then, before updating again, put the backup in place, set permissions to rw-r--r--
Basically, you'll have to do this every time, so I would suggest using some root app for this. If ur on MIUI 5, you can install WSM Tools...that should have a module that could help...(I've never tried it though...)

If by stock you mean the stock android ROM and not miui you can use Xposed framework and install gravity box module and it will give you the option to use soft keys. Give them both a quick search in this forum

Hi friends,
As we all know, sammy devices comes with lots of junks and bloats which hardly we use.
So, i was looking for a thread where i could find a way to debloat/remove excess system files from J7/6 but i was quite depressed when i found no link for my device. Although some nice techies have posted zip from other sources, i mean some debloater zips are directly posted here from s6 groups. And as we know that not all devices have same bloats or junks or having different names of same bloats.
That's why i tried to do some changes on a zip made by @TENN3R (Originally made by @ambasadii . Thanks both of you man) and finally come here with this work. Hope you'll love it.
Before flashing this zip, my device system part was showing 118mb space. After flashing zip modded by me, i got whopping 1.19gb free space in system.
All i can say is, your device system will have a great amount of space to breath which will surely show you result in battery life + performance (as per my experience I'm getting +15/20% battery life and performance is superb)
So, let's come to the point. There's attached zip, download it & move it to device internal storage/sdcard/usbotg. Reboot to recovery (your device must be rooted with TWRP recovery preinstalled). Flash this zip and wipe dalvik/cache. Reboot to system and you'll see that almost all junks is removed.
To know which apps it removes and if you want to keep some system apps, open zip, copy updater script on your pc, open updater script with notepad++, check all apps names one (takes hardly few minutes) and if you want to keep any app in system and don't want to remove it, just remove that whole line. For example, if you want to keep "GoogleContactsSyncAdapter", remove line contains that app name ? runs ("/sbin/rm", "-rf", "system/app/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter"); ? including semicolon same as shown here.
I suggest you to take backup of all apps (system/app & system/priv-app) so in case you want to restore any app, you can do it. It will remove some unwanted junk apps from csc folder also, (Yes it will remove bike mode too)
I have tested this zip few times on my device (SM-J710GN) and on one another device (SM-J710FN) and there's no any fc or issues. So i think it's worth trying.
But as we all say here, I'm not responsible if your device get bootloops, your wife hits you or your dog bites you for some reasons.
Do not forget to hit thanks button. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Good work bro
i did not succeeded with installation of this zip. TWRP just said that it failed.
Good work! I must try it out.
Excellent! Works like a charm! Thank you a lot. I've done a video guide (sub Eng). Hope this can be helpful.
can we use an script like this to restoring or adding new apps to the system?
(instead of -rm -mv to another folder and restoring with -cp )

Here is the original zip file attached.
You should edit the script according to your needs before flash.
Because it also remove sbrowser, nfcui,sbike etc. etc.

Lost Network
I lost my sim networks, both Sim 1 and Sim 2 after flashing the zip file. Bad part is, I didn't make a back up before doing the process.
Can't not open ' Setting '
I know this thread was old thread,but I'm just want to asking why my J7 2016 can't open setting after i flash the debloater?
