I am somewhat confused about Android's support for multiple users. The Galaxy S4 comes with Android 4.2.2. I thought the multi-user support (not just Accounts but users with separated data for apps) was part of the system. It works flawlessly on my Nexus and is easy to find in the settings. With the S4, the settings are somewhat "cleaned up" by placing them in tabs. However, I cannot find how to set up and use multiple users. It seems I can only add new Google accounts as in older versions of Android. Has Samsung disabled this feature? Or can it be found somewhere?

I beliece Samsung plans to use Knox software for user management and enterprise security. That software could not be included from the beginning, and is expected in a future update.

I though Knox was just for security and other enterprise features. So is it correct that there is no normal Android multi user support although Samsung is using Android 4.2.2? I cannot imagine that Samsung's implementation will be similar or compatible with Android's implementation. Does anybody know more?
If anyone if still interested, I found something: It seems that the multi-user feature of Android is only available for tablets at this time. Hence it is not present on the Galaxy S4. I just posted this for reference so people could find this in future.

Yes... but I'm having the same problem on my galaxy tab 2 7". Cant find an option to set up multiple users either
Re: Multi User support
Actually multi user is available, although hidden, for any phone with 4.2 or later. Although you need to be rooted. Add "fw.max_users 4" to the end of your build.prop and reboot. When you enter your settings you'll see clear as day "Users". Only bug I found is that you can't switch back and forth. You need the AOSP lockscreen for that.

Where are the options for the switching?
I have the latest AOSP kitkat update and don't see how I can do it.

If you're on an aosp rom, You can switch either from the lockscreen(you may have to enable lockscreen rotation and rotate the phone sideways), the power menu, or the status bar profile icon

I am attempting to create a lockscreen replacement application for some research I am doing, but I don't see any documented API's for the Android OS on how I would go about this.
Please let me know where to start if you have any experience with this.
Just found the solution to my question. For any future beings with a similar question:
There is no legit way to replace the lockscreen on an Android device. All of the ones on the market either do not function as advertised, or they use a meddly of questionable API calls in conjunction with one another to SIMULATE a lockscreen.
If you want to actually create your own lockscreen, you need to download and modify the Android source code. The files you need to pay attention to are under "/frameworks/base/policy/src/com/android/internal/policy/impl/keyguard"
Could you please mention how do the other apps in the market do it?? In detail?

Hit Thanx Button if i helped you!
As of android 4.4 (KitKat), the source has been moved to frameworks/base/packages/keyguard it seems.
Hi all,
I am looking for an application to do as a keylogger for android. I searched around a bit but without success, you know something?
Need: Log everything done on the system. How keystrokes, open applications, notifications delete etc. .. of course more features you have, the better, but the main one is for key presses. Storage on SD or cloud (indifferent)
Using: My purpose serves to increase my privacy. I need to know who uses my smartphone hidden, and what it does (if you install the app, log on to sites such as abusive and etc. ..).
In case there is an app like that would be interesting to know if there is a keyboard that can be used in this regard. Send a log of what you type. I think this is most likely because when you install a new keyboard Android Launches alert that warns of possible keyloggers.
Note 1: I have root permissions, but I do not think it is necessary
Note 2: I have already bought cerberus, but it has all the functions that I need
Up: any solution?

Try androrat. It serves as a remote administration tool but has the option to keylog.

I am wanting to setup a resticeted profile so i could use it just for apps that i use for work however all i can do is set up a new user which is not what i want. Im running lollipop on a non rooted nexus 4 build number LRX21T.

Same here ... I want to install apps in my user, and have my kids use a restricted profile.
On my Nexus 4/5, I can only add a new user - and the user can't see any of my installed apps!
Why is it Google used to rock, but is just blowing chunks recently?
