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.

Looks cool. I'd try it out but I hate crippled apps that need a key to work properly.
Good luck.

And yet there you are, trying it out.
Also, the free app already gives you everything. You just have to use you brain to make it work.
Attitude... it affects the best of us.
Anything to report?

Hi
very helpful app for a family with only one tablet, works almost 100% OK for us.
everytime i switch profile a android OS update is done, and after a few seconds im loged out again, after second logon it's OK
Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5110 4.0.4 XXBLH4
Installed it on my GT2 3113 this morning and have been playing around with it. I do get the same android OS update thing as listed above when switching users. Also sometimes when the app opens it is a blank screen with no profiles or details listed. Running RomsWell V1.1 stock rooted/deodexed 4.0.4 rom

I love this app
I've noticed that if I don't use the switch screen options then the app works fine and doesn't give me the blank main page that I was experiencing previously.
---------- Post added at 01:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 AM ----------
Also, what folder are the additional users profile/apps installed to?
Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda app-developers app
Im looking into it.
/DATA/.PROFILES is where everything is kept.
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.
Hi,
I tried to find root cause, but unfortunately without success. Is there anybody, who using Tasker or another application for automatization of your phone without any issues?
My issue is, Tasker is still "delayed" - but same rules I used before on LG G3 (Android 6.0) - but now on P9 (DualSIM) didn't work.
I have task for Calendar Entry, where if I have appointment in my work calendar, during this time Sound mode is deactivated (only Vibrate).
Some suggestion? I tried white lists, etc. or another app with same bad behavior.
Thank you!
Well, I tried to deactivate power management app from Huawei over ADB and looks good now finally! Its workaround, but tasker now working very well as expected.
adb shell pm hide com.huawei.powergenie
Did you have "Run in Foreground" selected in Tasker's preferences?
My Tasker works fine with that selected, although I also have trusted the app in permissions manager, allowed it to auto launch & activated it as a device administrator in advanced settings/security.
Yeah, I tried every tip over Tasker or phone (EMUI settings) and only deactivate power management helps me.
I had the same problem with IFTTT. It worked perfectly with my LG G3, but was hopeless on the P9. No amount of white-listing or settings would work.
I even had the app in memory, with Google maps running, on GPS, screen on, and it still wouldn't trigger a location based profile.
I've had to revert to manually arming and dis-arming my home security system. Annoying.
I translate from spanish so I'm sorry if your phone shows menus with other name.
You must go to adjust > advanced adjusts > memory and store and at bottom of page "space clean". On new screen push on upper-right wheel, and now on last option "white list of memory clean". Finally look for your app and activate it.
If you don't include app here, clean system will close it on background and timers won't work. It solved my problems.

Using Agama, I can get an app to start following a reboot. However, I would like to start the App at every Startup. Does Automate or any other app let you do that?

Why would you need Tasker for that simple.
Settings, type in the Search Autostart and add your app to the list of apps to be started on every reboot.
You may also need to disable Battery Optimization for your app (to make sure it would still work in background when the phone sleeps with dark screen)
That should generally work for all Androids. I don't have Huawei P9 now for years, I remember that EMUI might have had specific Settings organization but there was also Autostart (or Auto start)...

I had P9 for three years (if you don't believe, you can find tons of my posts here back from 2017-2018)
Now, you have that phone, not me (I got rid of my last Huawei almost three years ago) - I cannot show you and I cannot look into the EMUI settings because I don't have the EMUI phone anymore
But I KNOW that there was a way in EMUI how to control which apps will be automatically started on boot - I know because I played with all that back in those years, II did need for many apps like AdAway, Find My Device and similar that required to be auto-started to operate correctly
Take your time and google and you'll find. Sorry, I tried to help you but I will no more waste my time on that. Huaweis are past time for me
And take your time, use your imagination, If not Autostart, google for EMUI startup manager or something similar to find the answer for your question on the Net
Beta 1.0 released
I will like to start saying a very big thank you to @bggold who asked me to consider this in the first place
While there isn't any way to use the nice Google Assistant voice, and it's still rough around the edges, this demonstrates how we can use Android Auto in a multi-lingual environment as well as how to read out and reply emails.
The concept is very simple, instead of relaying on Android Auto to read out the notifications I have created a small app which mimics that behaviour, with some extras:
1) It try to do a language detection for each test, and use the appropriate TextToSpeech
2) It allows the user to select which app notification does he/she want's to read
3) If the content is really long (like a lengthy email) the app will prompt the user if it want's to go ahead with the message readout or not
4) If notification supports quick-reply the app will prompt the user for a reply (in the same language as the the original message)
Planning to support a lot of languages but there I will need user input, I have translated the basic strings to around 70 languages using Google translator, but I can tell it's not quite right (I can see with the languages I do speak)
Best part, app won't be affected by 3rd party restriction at all and it won't require root either, however I'm pretty sure Google will not allow it on the PlayStore
Beta version available now on XDA Labs.
App will be payable, however current beta is free so grab a copy while you can
To use the app you will need to enable unknown sources in Android Auto, simply open Android Auto, go to About, tap the "About Android Auto" header 10 times till you become a developer, then from the 3 dotted right menu select developer options and enable "Unknown sources"

Thanks for making this app!
After first start it asked for notification permission and then it was gone to build the list of installed apps/services - endless...
So I've forced close the app after minutes, went to app info/permissions, and enabled unselected permissions for it.
After that the app works now, as it should!
I'll test the functionality today while using AA in my car.

Thanks. It was 3 am )) updating the app now.
This is exactly what I needed. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work. Using Samsung S9 plus running Oreo. Gave read permission to the app, enabled developer settings on Android Auto, enabled unknown sources, enabled whatsapp and Gmail.
Whatsapp notifications haven't changed and it continues to read the foreign text in English. Gmail notifications don't pop up at all.
Any suggestions?

Not sure if you saw but there is a new release. It fixes this issue. Just remember to reboot after updating.
Unfortunately I have the same problem as @yavuzyay. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge with Android 7.0 and Carnotifier Beta v3.
Thanks to @yavuzyay for bugreport and Turkish language input.
I have identified the problem where the app was crashing in case you where using AA on the phone only, and this has been now fixed.
@CeldeSuS - Are you phone only or are you using AA on the car? If phone only, download the new beta 1.4

I'm using AA on the car (Alpine X802D-U head unit). I'll try the new beta anyway and report back.
Awesome. Works perfectly.
V4 work fine with SM960F(android 8.0) & RLink1 !
Great job!
Very good stuff!
I use it with the now playing feature - basically phone picks up music on the radio,.detects the song and artist and throws a notification. This app picks that up and shows it as a notification on the car screen! I have disabled read out. So it stays as a simple notification.
Quick question - haven't been able to try it - if I set zero seconds as the duration, will it leave the notification forever?
Tested but not working as expected. Line is an application which doesn't support Android Auto.
Positive: Yes, Car Notifier shows there is a message on Line.
Negative: Can't do anything, it won't read the message, the notification stays in grey color and nothing happens when I click on the message.
Cheers

You can't click the notification to have it read at this time. If you want them read to you enable the read option.
"Read out notifications" is enabled in the settings, my Honda headunit is hacked and I have root access, so I don't think this is related to that.

I'm sure you have but have you checked all the permissions?
CarNotifier asks only permissions to Microphone and Phone, both are granted.
Wondering now whether it has something to do with the new Android Auto v3.8.584554 where some on Reddit claim, that notification is broken
Cheers
Tom
Edit: Maybe the the new AA version interferes with CarNotifier, because AA can show now also message preview
More edit: My friend tested on the Samsung S7 (I have a OnePlus 3T). Also on his mobile nothing happens with Line.
Can't read out and nothing happens in AA when click on it
Is there an app for Speed cams like in your obd2aa app, to have only the speed cam notification?

I am running the new aa and it is working. Get Emil a bug report right after it happens.
The only thing you can do at this time is swip away the notifications. Clicking them will not do anything.
Thanks
After more testing, I do believe the culprit is Line. Gmail works as expected, Facebook also (just for test).
However, Line refuses, which is actually the reason to install the program in the first place.
Probably one of the few programs which won't work.
Great program though.

Hi guys.
I'm finally back in the UK and in front of my PC, I've also managed to tied up quiet a few of my loose ends and I have no big project starting this year. I will dedicated the last 2 weeks of this years to the following:
1) Looking into fixing some of the FC for obd2aa, also try to find a solution for non-standard PIDs
2) Get AA GateWay to Beta/Stable version (most work needs to be done on this app)
3) Fix some issues and FC with HUR (including Waze sound cut off).
4) Get the carNotifier to a stable version.
January and February are again fully booked so I will focus on stability rather then adding new features especially because obd2aa and HUR and fairly mature apps with most of the functions already covered.
For some reason I'm not really getting any notifications from XDA and being a lot on the road I don't visit the site too often lately, therefore I will kindly ask you if you need support, please email me directly to [email protected].
I am really hating the Pie update. Has really made my phone less functional and convenient for my daily use.
Issue 1:
While playing YouTube or other videos off of websites from the Samsung internet browser, they keep randomly pausing after 5 or 10 seconds....
Any suggestions as to why or a fix? Beyond frustrating.
Issue 2:
Also, the defualt video player through the internet browser is severally lacking...
On Oreo with my S9+ and even on the Note 9 before the update it worked much better in many ways.
When I played a video from a website using the stock samsung internet browser it had these important funtions.
1. Had a fast foward and rewind button.
2. Had an option to minimize the video so you could multi task and adjust the video to any size or position on your screen so you could play any video while working on or using another app.
3. It had an option to allow you to stretch the video to the FULL size of the screen without any noticable distortion. That way you can use the full screen you paid big money for. Its ridiculous to think that my S9+ essentially allows me to watch videos on a larger screen vs the Note 9 because of this.
Is there a way to change the default video player that the Samsung web browser uses???? That way I can truly have full screen or be able to play the videos in the background while I use other apps.
Thanks.

Issue #1 what speeds/connection are you getting, such as data 2g/3g/lte, or wifi up/down speeds. try using speedtest.net to see if it's slow, maybe your connection is slow causing browser to keep buffering.
Issue #2 I believe if you are using the stock Samsung browser the video player is built in to browser, only fix would be to remove & or upgrade/downgrade browser to see if another version will give you this functionality back, try apkmirror for newer/older version.
If you had this functionality before with the exact/same version browser you could force stop and reset cache & data to return app to like first use and default settings. Otherwise the only thing I can suggest is to either use another browser such as chrome, or use separate video app & download the video first then watch in new separate video player app. This would probably be a hastle though.
Hope something I suggested my help or trigger an idea for you. More info would help like when you noticed it started (after upgrade) or when you change locations, or are you on WiFi or data or does it happen on both, the (constantly buffering/loading issue)? Also is it constantly this way all of the time on all websites & anything else that you may know that may have changed around that time. My browser supports everything that yours is missing, depending on the website tho. I'm on Snapdragon Galaxy Note 9 SM-N960W Canadian Variant Running First Pie v9.0 OTA Update.
One last thing, try turning on airplane mode, wait ten seconds, then turn it off & retry. This will cause phone to reconnect with WiFi & closest/fastest cell tower. You could also reset all connection settings. To do so just do this....
Tap on settings>tap on general management>tap on reset>finally tap on reset network settings. Good luck fixing friend.

Thanks for the reply.
All of this started happening with the Pie update.
This Note 9 worked just fine with the Oreo OS it came with out of the box.
It happens on 4gLTE and both Wifi with strong signal. Its litterally like the pause button is being pressed. I have to hit play to get it to play again. So I dont think its buffering.
So my phone is stock. Its leased so I dont have it rooted.
Can you walk me through getting the Oreo version on the Samsung Internet Browser???? Or how to reset the app to how it was out the box????
This sounds like the best solution. Thanks so much. This may be the most helpful. Having the older browser should fix a lot of these issues.

If you want to reset the app to all stock/factory settings you click on...
Go into Settings> tap on apps>scroll down and tap on Samsung internet>tap on storage>then you hit both "clear cache" and also "clear data" and once you have done this your browser when launched will be set back to all the stock/new settings as if it hasn't been used before. If this doesn't work you can get a newer or older version of "Samsung internet" and try that. Find it on the apkmirror website at...

Feel free to ask questions about anything else you may need help with along the way or with the process.

Ok I
-Forced Stopped Samsung Internet Browser
-Cleared Data
-Cleared Cache
Did not work. Still randomly pauses online vid through the browser. So no full screen mode. Still no minimize background mode. Still the same. Not working like it did out of the box when it was on Oreo.
Ok so I downloaded this APK file....looks to be the last version of the app for Oreo.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...owser-8-2-01-2-android-apk-download/download/
It downloaded but when i click Install after giving it permission to download from unknown sources it says
"App not installed" and doesn't give a reason....
Thanks for the help.

It downloaded but when i click Install after giving it permission to download from unknown sources it says
"App not installed" and doesn't give a reason....
Thanks for the help.

Sorry for not responding quicker, but life has been busy lately. Now that I think about it the Samsung internet browser is part of the operating system and cannot be uninstalled. I would suggest clearing cache and then clearing data and upgrade with the apk at the link I provided you at the end of this post. I have a link I will provide at the end which is the latest version of the browser, if you have enabled allow downloads from alternate sources or whatever it asks, I don't see why it wouldn't install for you if the version you downloaded is newer than the one that is currently on your phone. The only other thing that I could think of would be sometimes on my phone I run into the exact same issue and even though I have enabled downloads through alternate sources sometimes I have to go into my file browser and install from there which almost always fixes the failed install issue. Anyway here is a link to the latest Samsung internet browser and if you read description it is meant for anything from lollipop up to Pie. It is the newest version I could find and I believe it was released on the 21st of this month. I got it from APK mirror which usually has the most up-to-date versions but if you are trying to install a version that is older then the one that is on your phone already the installation will fail every time. Hope you can get it working and message me if you have any progress or any questions.

This is v9.0.01.80, and should be one of the, if not the, most recent.

Have you troed wiping the Cache Partition in Recovery Mode?
Hello guys,
the "WOW"-App (formerly known as Sky Ticket) is a streaming app from the pay-tv service sky (watch live sports and films and so on).
The app has a cast-function to cast it to a chromecast capable device.
The problem is, that the app doesn't stream at all since the A12 update, the app gives me an error indicating that i try to cast the phone screen via hdmi which is not allowed., so i can't watch anything, the stream doesn't even start.
This is caused by the rear screen (i spoke to sky support). Support says, they cant give solutions because the mi 11 ultra is a "exotic device".
Toggling off the settings or disabling the rear screen system app didn't resolve the issue.
Under AOSP ccustom rom (pixel experience and crdroid the app worked because the reaar screen is disabled there).
I tried to look into the permissions using Lucky Patcher but can't figure out the corresponding permission.
Anybody know which peersmission i have to deactivate or can help to disable the rear screen?
It happened with me as well, i wasn't able to use wireless display feature on my windows laptop. Everytime i tried to connect this phone to laptop for casting. It will try but won't succeed so i turned of rear display from settings and restart and casting started working but when ever i used to go to phone settings' main page it will disconnect everytime. So i had to minimize using home button everytime i connected.
I am from India and I bought my ultra on the day of its launch.
From the day one my satellite TV app Tata Sky refused to work with "Casting is on" message.
TataSky helpdesk blames this issue to this particular model and ask me to get support from Xiaomi.
I switched off casting/screen mirroring etc etc etc but nothing works.
I searched a lot but came to know this issue is because off rear display and switching it off via default settings doesn't resolve this issue.
I was OK to live without TataSky as I started loveing my Ultra .
But now need a resolution on this urgently PLEASE as update version of my ICICI bank app refused to work as casting is not allowed as security measure.
Uninstall it and install older version to work but I know it is a temporary solution because anytime my main banking app will force me to update.
There must me something in setting text file which could edit with Setedit to switch off "back display" as we were able to increase its switch on time by fiddling with this file.
(Use setedit to edit the time of the rear screen from 3000 (30s) to what number you want )
Any solution will be very much appreciated.

Go for custom rom -> EvoX, Project404 or PixelExperience, my Sky App works because rear display is deactivated in these roms
