[MOD][CM10.1][4.2.2][GUIDE] Enable Multiuser (for noobs)

[lucasdeeiroz]

I'm really enjoying this mod. Flash a nightly over the MOD make the lockscreen switcher stop working, but the multiuser function still working.

Yes... themes cause FCs on secondary users... great to know it worked for you

Would you be so kind as to post the additional mods you reference in the OP or better yet, post a sample keyguard_host_view.xml file? Any other mods you make would be helpful also.

So far, this adds multiuser to my Sprint S3 just fine but I can't switch users as the emergency dialer button covers the user icons. I am guessing your additional mods cover this scenario.

I published my moded keyguard_host_view.xml at OP so you can make your own mods
I also made a mod based on your phone Multi_20130211_d2spr try and see if it fix the user switcher...

Awesome, thanks so much. This worked great. The only nit I have is that the keypad on the lock screen has shrunk significantly. I assume to make room for the multiple user selection. I would rather shrink the clock if possible. I will look into it later.

I have made an app that lets you share (or "unshare") apps between the different user accounts, and just added support for phones that enable multi-user through custom ROM mods like this one.
Thought you might find it interesting...

Thank You OP for the great guide!

This is really easy to do this but I'm not good at modifying .xml files to fit thing more better!

So I have Galaxy Nexus and I use it, with latest Android version JB 4.2.2 but the multi user selector on the lockscreen doesn't fit correctly:

Do you have any idea how to fix this?
with another way by using the multiuser_selector .xml file I got it a little bit more down but still it hides the widgets..

@ manumanfred

The only way to fix this is by modifying the keyguard_host_view.xml file... I made a mod based on your ROM... see if works: Multi_maguro.zip

Thank You! Did you modify the file from /res/layout/ or /res/layout-land/? I'm not using my other PC to check the files, but this works well.


Thank You really much!

@ manumanfred

you need to modify this: framework-res.apk\res\layout-port\keyguard_host_view.xml

Yeah I noticed it!
I saw what you modified! Really Great work!

One more time: Thank You!
