[GUIDE]Enable Multi User Mode on Note 5

[daviefl86]

HI. I don’t know why, but Samsung did not add multi user support on our beloved note5.
If u want to try it here is the guide to set it up.
I tested and confirm 100% working. This is applicable for all variants.
1. Open up root explorer
2. Navigate to /system
3. Paste in the following line at the bottom of your build.prop

# Multi Users
 Fw.max_users=3
 Fw.show_multiuserui=1

In Darthstalker rom the feature shows up in settings under the Device section... it's baked into the rom.

With this mod, I would assume it's in the same place in every rom, but I'm not positive.

Here is the way that @jovy23 listed this mod in his build.prop file

#Enable MultiUser Support
fw.power_user_switcher=1
fw.show_hidden_users=1
fw.show_multiuserui=1
fw.max_users=10

I tried creating a new user, the device just restart then go back to my original settings that i have. This happens when i try to use the Guest user as well. Not sure whats going on there. I am using jthrasher Thrashrom3.4.

I think it has been asked but didnt see an answer! Users are showing in settings after adding to prop build but when i hit guest user or set up new user, the phone reboots:what: Anyone have fix or solution? Thanks

Anyone successful on Marshmallow?

#Enable MultiUser Support
fw.power_user_switcher=1
fw.show_hidden_users=1
fw.show_multiuserui=1
fw.max_users=3

I am on Marshmallow and this worked
I did not try it with 10 actually
so I directly changed it to 3 instead of 10
and it worked so I don't know if that might help
Try it and let us know
Thanks :good:

 

[julioolares]

Works in every version of marshmallow? Even the most recent ones?

 

[supermario78]

It's possible to enable on nougat?
Thanks

Next Step?

I have followed all the steps above.
When I get to adding a user it goes through a new user setup just fine until it gets to the end.
Then it gives an unexpected error box when you click finish. Then I have to restart to get out of new user setup.
