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.

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!!?

Isn't that why we can make backups?

My nex 7 has it. You are sure you can't make other users already?

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.

Did you go into the settings under users? On my nex 7 it is there in the top right.. Add user.. very easy to miss.

Ah I see. I didn't know that. I thought it was a 4.2 thing.. You are right though. I have no need for it on my phone.

Would be nice to have multi-users for testing and demo purposes.
Absolutely! Make an account for me and let me borrow your phone.

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?
(just 2 of many)

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.

Have you tried on Nexus 7
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fivehellions.android.muappshare
Requires root.
Removes some of the limitations of the present 4.2 multi-users' policies.

If by port, you mean flash/install, then easily. Check out the android dev forums for nexus 4 for more details.

Why this app is not compatible with Nexus 4?

Pretty sure its because it uses USB OTG.

Yes and no. The Nexus 4 doesn't have OTG support so you can't use the app. Read the app description.

If I'm not mistaken its the way all androids are going now, not just the N⁴. I believe some kernels support it, a workaround perhaps, sorry I don't really ever use OTG so I'm not that knowledgeable on why it don't have it or how to get it lol.

It was working a few months ago but now it doesn't work. Help!
Well we don't have native ethernet on our device... So there is that. Not, if you are talking about 3g,a lot can happen in a couple months... Like your provider could have shut you off for not paying. If you are talking about wifi, you need to be more specific...

Well no I'm not talking about 3G. I'm talking about the cable which plugs into my router. (Using an otg cable+USB to Ethernet adapter) As I said the weird part is that it was working fine.

Did you change ROMs? Kernel? Is it possible that your cable went south? Is the adapter borked?
