I would love to see multi user on the nexus 4..I think it wouldn't be hard since it's already in 4.2... think it would make sense for doing different setups like different launcher, icon packs, theme etc..I wonder if it's just a line or lines of code to turn it on and/ or is any body up for the challenge!!?

Multi-user support is only available on tablets. Nokia has a patent on multi-user support on phones.
I am sure a build.prop edit can fix it.

That is more for switching ROMs ...not having different setups (launcher, icon packs etc)

Exactly.. doesn't mean we can't figure a way to get it on our phones
Hmm I don't think a build. Prop edit will do it but I'll check

Well its only for tablets, I think the reason for that being tablets are more family and sharing, whereas phones are a personal device. Why would you want to share your phone?

I don't see anything in build.prop specifically disabling multi-user mode. Looks like I was wrong.

Bored, trolling or no way to imagine use cases when multi-users may be handy?
If I want to show something to a client on my Nexus 4 (or any other device) without providing access to my apps and data?
or
If I'm willing to give it to my 3-4 years offspring for a video or a game, without risking my contacts, notes, mails?

This is the only reason I would need it, but it is a good one. If my 5 year old wants to watch a movie or play a game I wouldn't have to worry about her screwing up my home screen or deleting apps like she has been known to do.
I believe Paranoid to be the answer. That's if you don't mind rooting.
Great example above and the most used I'm sure.

You can do it by replacing the images in the systemui.apk or might be able to do it through a theme as well.

This a link for a simple how to! If you want to pull systemui will need a apk tool. You can do search on that. I hope this helps.

One of my favorite guys for all things Android. Should work the same on your nexus 7 as his Galaxy Nexus. Maybe not the Exact same thing but similar concept and a good start.
P.S. you could also just flash aokp and it should be in settings.

This would be illegal and you couldn't port it like Android. At least not very easily. Best bet is to wait for the ARM version to get out (if it even does, which is doubtful) and then attempt to port it yourself. Still wouldn't be legal either way.

So at least until the end of this week if anything happens
MIUI on N4 would be very nice, but I think it will take long time. Maybe with Android 5.

I assume you are implying that the newer android versions need more ram. If so does that mean that 5.0 will run slower on the current nexus 7?

It's Android, it runs on everything. Some things maybe slower than others, but it runs, hence the Nexus One (512MB ram, can run 4.2)
I'm just trying to say that it might be sluggish.

I doubt it. They would discontinue the updates for the N7 before they would purposely release a new update that makes the device seem slow.

I'm sure if you find a way to port all the touchwhiz framework then it could be done. I know things similar to that have been done, for example I remember about a year and a half ago the sony xperia framework was ported to aosp, installable as a flashable zip. This enabled absolutely every proprietary xperia app/feature, like the xperia exclusive games, bravia engine, etc. on any phone running aosp-based firmware
Hmm....i think that would not be possible. Because N4 doesn't have that sensor.
But maybe i am wrong....

The S4 uses the front facing camera to detect eyes from my understanding. So it may be possible with the newest touchwiz framework.
