Just wondering if multi-user support could be enabled for the Stock framework, now that JB 4.2 has been leaked. WE may need to wait for Samsung to release it for one of their other devices (if they do). Since this is a core Android feature though I think its code should still be present in the Samsung android framework.

I may look into this myself but lack the knowledge/experience. So if someone could shed light on what strings to look for in the code, it would help and I could give it a shot!

    Hey guys!

    I was just curious if this could be done and apparently it can so I'm just sharing the apk here.
    It basically does what the title says, it enables multiple users on the Samsung I9300.
    This apk was made from the latest nightly build of CM10.1 for the I9300.

    UPDATE 19/01:
    I have updated framework-res.apk using the 2013/01/18 nightly build of CM10.1
    Changed ROM to ParanoidAndroid. View attachment framework-res.apk
    Changing the theme will cause the phone to crash when switching users. Reason unknown.

    UPDATE 31/12:
    I have created a flashable zip file that works with ClockWorkMod, though its untested as I haven't had time.
    I have also uploaded new screenshots. Another update will be coming soon with an updated CM10.1

    UPDATE 28/12:
    I have updated the framework-res.apk using the CM10.1 nightly build.
    With this update comes a restyled Lockscreen that will look nicer.
    You may notice that it also doesn't interfere with widgets anymore.

    PLEASE NOTE: This mod only works on Android 4.2 and higher! This mod has only been tested on Cyanogenmod 10.1!

    Cheers!

    Which CM nightly did you try it on?

    will this work with every nightly which will follow? do i have to reflash it anytime i update cm?

    This should work with upcoming nightlies but I provide no guarantee that it will.
    And yes you will need to flash it again every time you update CM10.1

    How to adb push???? A apk file??:(

    - copy APK to /system using Root Explorer or any other file manager with root access
    - now set correct permissions (rw-r--r--)
    - move and replace APK to /system/framework
    - reboot

    OP: thanks for this mod

    Well I started working on this last week on Tuesday, but got hold up due to x-mas etc.

    When I'm home I'll show you the exact lines where it checks, I'm not sure why it checks for userid 0. Maybe just leaving it out will make it work.

    I don't think that the widget is useless, overlaying the switcher is just ugly and hackish. If you put the switcher into a widget the android way it would be a much better solution.

    It's also the reason why I hadn't put up a topic on xda. Because my solution right now makes any widgets on the lock screen get an offset and I'd rather get the widget working so if you use the tile switcher it doesn't add a non existing one (square with a plus sign).

    Just my two cents :)

    I do agree that it would be nice making the widget, but do remember that CM10.1 still has a long way to go for the i9300.
    Also I don't have the development environment setup for Android because I'm a C# and Web developer so I find it easier to stick with Windows.
    Plus I'm too lazy / busy with other projects to setup a forth development environment, I just made this mod so my girlfriend could play games on my phone and install all her stuff without cluttering my user space. :silly:
