Hi all,
I'm new to this forum so please be gentle
I have a Nexus 7 16GB tablet, which I have rooted using the Nexus Root Toolkit.
I have 2 user accounts set up in the tablet. When I installed StickMount yesterday, my USB OTG cable was detected in the main account and I could browse the files; but in the second account, it gives an error saying 'StickMount has stopped working'. I tried removing the 2nd account and re-adding it again, but the problem persists.
I hope you guys can shed some insight into what the problem might be.
Regards

Okay, This may not be a solution but I think the problem may be something like this. StickMount requires root access. Your main(Old) account have the root access but the new one doesn't have it. Can you check in SuperSU if StickMount is getting root access in the second account.

Hi Ashik,
Thank you for your reply.
Yes, I have root access in for the 2nd user as well.
In the 2nd user account, when an app requires root (for example ES File Explorer), SuperSU asks me for root access permission. But the weird thing is that when I launch StickMount, SuperSU doesn't ask for any permission and I get the message 'Unfortunately, StickMount has stopped'.
I have no such problem for the 1st user account, where I launch StickMount, SuperSU asks for access permission the first time and then the app works as desired.
I'm just really confused. I tried reinstalling StickMount on only the 2nd user account, after uninstalling on the 1st user account, but the problem still persists. If this is some problem with SuperSU, I have absolutely no idea of how to re-install it because there is no uninstall option for it.
Any more suggestions are most welcome.

You have to have stickmount installed on the second account as well.

Yes, I have StickMount installed on both accounts. I just uninstalled for the first user to see if that would make a difference, but it didn't, so I re-installed it.
IMPORTANT: A strange thing I noticed now > I uninstalled ES File Explorer, Ad Away and Clean Master for the 2nd user. When re-installing them, SuperSU asked for root access permissions for Ad Away and Clean Master, but didn't do so for ES File Explorer.
Is there some problem with the 'rooting' for the 2nd user, where some apps get/are asked for root access and others don't? Maybe that's why StickMount might be giving an error?
Any suggestions?
I think with the new updates of ES, you have to enable root within the app before it will ask for root.

In SU does it list 'StickMount' and say 'grant' for access on the second account?

Hey!
Yes you're right - I had to grant root access within ES File Explorer after which SuperSU asked for permission.
Which means, SuperSU doesn't seem to be the problem and my device IS properly rooted for both accounts.
I uninstalled StickMount and tried another app (USB OTG Helper), but it too doesn't work... click on Mount, it says no drives mounted. The problem only seems to be for USB OTG detection/apps failing on the 2nd user account.
Weird, very weird
Now that I think about it, I think I read something about OTG not working for secondary accounts... I could be mistaken though

No, StickMount does work for secondary accounts. It works on my friend's Nexus 7. I guess I'll just have to unroot and reroot the device to see if the problem is solved
Thanks for your help though!
HELP: StickMount Not Working For 2ND User
I am experiencing the exact same problem on my Nexus 7 (2012) running Android 4.4.2 and rooted with SuperSU v1.86. I would like to know if you found a solution to the problem and if you did could you please post your results for solving this?
Thanks in advance:
KodachromeBob
I'm having the same problem. Stickmount works five on the primary account, but the restricted account I keep getting the message that stickmount stopped working. In SuperSU I enabled multi user support. It's working, because other root apps have asked for root permission on that account, and they work after I grant permission.

Hello,
I have just rooted my samsung galaxy tab. I have lost 180 holiday foto's en i read that with Hexamob, yu can get them back. But when i start that app , it says that i don't have root permissions. Fix this from your superuser app.
I rooted my tab. I have got superuser, but still it doensn't work.
Can anyone tell me what i have done wrong.
Are you sure the app has root permission? If you aren't, open Superuser, and "Hexamob Recovery" must be in the "allow" list.
If it's not there, open Superuser, then (without killing Superuser) open "Hexamob Recovery" (a prompt from superuser will pop) and allow root permission.
finally i got soperuser working. something with the permission for usb controlling.
But I still can find my device in Hexamob. Normally I can use recuva to get delete files back, but that also doens't work. It also doesn't see my divice. Is there another way to get deleted files or foto's back, from a tablet?
Maybe you could try another app, e.g.: Undelete
Is there als o a way, that you can connect your tablet to your pc en use your pc to searce throw your tablet?
When i connect my tablet on my pc i can see and open the folders on my tablet, but i can't use any programs to searce throw the tablet
Not compatible with Tab.

It's something to do with mtp mode and the tab not being mass storage recognized by the PC. I've seen a thread where Misledz dealt with this. Can't remember if it was ever resolved but some searching might get you some more info about it being possible or what solution, if any they came up with.
Hope this helps.

Try adblock plus as well, maybe that works.

Check to see that the file /etc/hosts actually gets updated when you use adaway/adfree. Also, you need to reboot your phone after you apply the new hosts file.

If you don't reboot your phone immediately after using AdBlock or AdFree (I switched from the former to the latter), then you will run into an issue where the Back button doesn't actually take you back in the browser. You have to double click it and mess with it in general.
I didn't know this for a solid 5-6 months when I first rooted my Atrix back in the day and it DROVE ME NUTS.
Anyway, go into Superuser or SuperSU and make sure that you've given AdBlock or AdFree root access. I would maybe even recommend just installing both apps anyway, reinstalling, granting root access, run/apply new hosts file, and then immediately reboot.
adway working just fine, are you sure that you rooted it properly though.

Whether you have to reboot or not depends on cache and DNS. Just because your ads are always blocked, doesn't necessarily mean everyone else doesn't need to reboot.
Adfree works fine for me. Reboot the phone to be safe.

There's some funky stuff going on for me. I checked my hosts file, and it had in fact been updated by Adfree/Adaway/Adblock Plus (I've tried them all troubleshooting this).
Superuser says that they have the appropriate permissions.
I take it that there's multiple methods for rooting, right? I just followed the first walkthrough I found. I'm running the CM10.1 nightly with this issue.
Could someone who has adblocking working describe what method they used for flashing recovery? I'm thinking that there's some sort of problem with my filesystem. One symptom is that I can't figure out where RomManager is storing my backups. It sees them, and they take up space, but they're not in my SDCARD partition.
EDIT: I see that my backups are in /data/media/clockworkmod and the hosts file that is being altered by adblocking software is in /system/etc.

Nexus 4

Unlocked & rooted using 1.3.0 toolkit..
1. Is it possible

3. Does it cause issues?

In the words of Chainfire, author of SuperSU, as it pertains to SuperSU 0.98 and 0.99:
Chainfire said:
Preliminary update for Android 4.2's multi-user capabilities.
Only the main user can run the UI and gain root access.
Secondary user's apps will not be granted root, nor can
those users change SuperSU configuration.
This is all temporary. Proper multi-user support is being
worked on.
Note that if a non-user process (like ADB shell) needs to
prompt for root, that prompt will always appear on the
MAIN user's screen !

I have not had any issues with root for main "owner" user. But as stated other users currently do not have root access.
Backup? Don't know yet?
Other users currently do not have access to all apps that the owner has access to. Example. Google wallet only works with owner. Google Talk only with Owner.
So I really hope that once they figure out how to get root to all users... than all users can use all apps.
Google has made a one stop forward.... but long ways to go on multi user system. IMO

Completely agree on that one. Asked me to set up google wallet again for the second user (I had entered a different gmail id for the second user).
Had to install titanium backup separately for both the users. And apps installed for one user was not accessible to the other!! (from within titanium backup.)
However as the owner, I could see all the apps from under 'manage apps'. (Not visible from the normal drawer.) From manage apps, I can also see option to 'un-install for all users'.
As a owner, I wish, I could also install apps and control other user..
I have rooted my Nexus 7 in order to be able to use USB storage. It works fine-- I use "USB MassStrorage Watcher OTG" and can access my external 32GB Stick.
However, I added a second user (my Wife) and although I have use appshare to share all applications, I cannot read the USB stick when under her user name because it requires a rooted device and a second user system sees a non-rooted device.
The problem lies that Android N7 4.2.1 - does not have a facility to have a shared directory - so everything is hidden from one user to another: I had a plan that I could share books via the USB Stick and not waste the directories and memory space - but because the second user cannot access the USB stick it does not work like I planned.
Does anyone have a solution to:
1. Extend Root access to a second user
2. Create a shared directory that both (or multi) users can access?
3. Have USB access app that does not require root?
I am a first time Android user and the restrictions placed on the use of this device (Android in general) are pretty ridiculous - they make no sense!
Why do they (Google) want to cripple their own device? If the USB access is possible from hardware standpoint - why the intentionally block it and not make it part of the OS?
Why not allow shared directories ? I still copy from one user to another using computer - but it is convoluted and time/memory waste.
Hope there are good solutions out there that someone could direct me to.
Best regards
Vladimir

apologies for reviving a thread.
But I managed to get the multiple user working with SuperSU but not superuser (on 4.3)
The problem I have is for some reason every time I install SuperSU although it works fine, It stops App Ops (Permissions) from working.
and because I really like to use them (instead of a third party permission tool) I'd like to get superuser.
Any ideas?
I'm just wondering if anybody has managed to get the Sky Go app working with a rooted Nexus 7?
I've read somewhere that a rooted Android device can work with Sky Go if it is running a stock kernel and used in conjunction with Temp Root Remover.
If anybody has, please share your set up. :good:
Many Thanks,
Andy
I don't have an active Sky account anymore, but on Modaco JR13 with Stock kernel and unsecure boot.
I managed to load the app and sign into my old account without any problems.
Obviously I didn't get as far as watching TV as my account is closed.
Hope this helps.

This thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2042095 ) describes a possible workaround (removal of supersu) but grants all subsequently installed apps root access after this, hence not ideal.
Fingers crossed a more secure method or patched apk arises in the future!

OK so I have a nexus 7 (2012) on standard Android 4.4.4.
Rooted with CWM and superSU 2.01
I just used the root hider app from the play store and selected ..
Hide Su binary and then
Uninstall super user (selected chain fire SuperSU option)
I then had to go into my root of my nexus 7 and remove the sky go files stored there.
After I deleted them I then restarted the tablet.
I can still reinstalled superSU as I'm still rooted but its a bit of a Hassel ATM as every time I want to watch SkyGO I have to follow the same routine, hideSu > uninstall superSU > delete SkyGO files from root dir > restart tablet.
I think there should be an Xposed module to hide root to certain apps, not 100% sure though..
A simple google search would answer your question: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=hide+root+access+android+xposed+module
But any ways here is the right module: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.devadvance.rootcloak
It's called rootcloak. Remember: you need the Xposed Framework!

I have SuperSu installed and I do get prompts for granting or denying apps permission, but yeah if you don't have a Superuser access management tool, apps are granted root permissions immediately. If you don't want that custom boot logo and that's why you uninstalled SuperSu (if you even had it), you can use Wanam exposed and Xposed framework to fake system status and set it to official.

Here is what i am trying to do...I used to be able to get music from Google Play to Doubletwist with my rooted phone. I had to unroot it and then root it again. Doubletwist used to ask for permission, however now does not. Nor will the music move over. Long story short, that is what I am working on. Unsuccessfully, I might add. Last time I rooted the phone, I used the SD Card method and this time I used towelroot. Not sure if that would make a difference or not.
