Hello everyone, I bring you this topic knowing that our G2s have some sort of crippled multi-user functionality.
But I was used to use the full multi-user support on my Galaxy Note since 4.2.2 (or any other Android with 4.2.2) which differs from LGs by a mile.
LGs implementation is limited to show only the apps you allow without means of changing wallpaper, pulling down the notification shade, etc. Android 4.2.2 can handle more than what LG gave us, like having a totally new and independent full session, including Sync accounts and apps which I found very convenient.
However when I tried the procedure described here it errors out for some reason with a "couldn't create user" error.
But when you get into the System Settings you get to see the new option "Users and Restrictions"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you go there you'll see:
If you click Add User:
If you click OK:
Obviously that's because of the error I got inside Terminal. I also disabled LG's Guest Mode in case it had something to do with it but it was a no go.
I'll try some other methods and keep you posted. Any ideas are welcome.
Cheers!
this is neat, @Rayan are you already has the fix?
Nope, unfortunately I have not found a solution yet.
I have tried all methods available but no solution yet.

For those of you on Hero ROMs... read this:

It's great having lots of manufacturer provided applications in the ROM of your mobile device, but what happens if one of them breaks? It's not as easy as just contacting the developer for an updated version is it!
This is exactly the problem being faced by users of 'HTC Peep', the Twitter client on the HTC Hero.
Last night, the unique id number assigned to each Tweet exceeded 4,294,967,295, in an event we covered as 'Twitpocalyse II'. This is the highest number that can be stored in an unsigned 32 bit integer. If the developer of a Twitter client uses this method to store the Tweet ID, then unexpected things will happen. Hence, since this occured, Peep users have been unable to use the application, instead being greeted by the error message above (after which the application either closes or refuses to load new tweets).
We have contacted HTC to ask how long Hero users should expect to wait for a fix, but if you are affected, it might be time to try out Twidroid, Twitterride or perhaps Swift!
UPDATE: HTC have responded to this issue. They have said "Thanks for helping to make us aware of the details of this problem. We have are investigating the issue and are working with Twitter on a solution. We apologize to our users for any inconvenience this has caused."
We'll bring you more information as it comes in.

Long time waiting for a solution to mirror wp screen to pc/tv/projector. It Seems that currently there is no solution for wp (although we have seen it in Microsoft' presentations, and people from Microsoft have told us that due to Security reasons it can only be done with a device with an especial rom with that implemented).
Perhaps now that ativ s have been unlocked, it could be done. Any ideas?

I don't think its due to security reason but rather patent issues..
Anyway, it doesn't matter the reasons, the fact is that there is NO way to make a live presentation with your Phone, isn't it? Brrrr

Sad but true.
The current state of hacking is interop-unlock.
If anybody can hack the bootloader and custom roms are available maybe this feature can be enabled.
Wasn't the issue to do with drivers. I'm still not sure we can fiddle at that level

Nokia gave me the answer in Abu Dhabi: Nokia Beamer. Hope it comes soon to our phones!
Thanks for your help.
I'm still on 5.1.1 and I used Multi-Window on my old Note devices daily for work. I found a temporary workaround (although it's still a MAJOR hassle without it) and this is the Android M feature I've been dying for. Pleeease, please please tell me it made it into the final release for this device. Did it?

Out of the box, no...But supposedly this is a way to enable it. Someone would have to try that out and report back I guess.

Works ok...

Yeah, I installed 6.0, and tried it out. It works... kind of. It's more incomplete than I had hoped and won't work for my purposes. oh well.
If you have root you can enable it easy with a root explore.

Hello guys,
I think many of you know these advanced options of the fire tv stick.
For my current project I need to be able to query the displayed video information (especially the color standard) via commandline or some libary. I have almost no experience with android development, but if someone has a solution I should be able to figure the rest out myself.
I suppose I would have to root the fire tv stick. After that I have no idea what to do. Since the information can be displayed via the advanced options, I assume that there must be a way to query them via command line or a libary.
Maybe someone with more experience in this field has an idea

@Kramar111 Thats exactly what i need! Thank you!
I didn't even know that you can do this kind of stuff with adb.. Buts its really cool this way that you can ask remote via adb and run the scripts on another device
@Kramar111
I tested it today, and yeah basically its doing what i need, but the problem is, that i don't want to have open the Advanced Options all the time. The idea was to read out the color standard in the background without limiting the tv experience. So the advanced options menu should not be visible.
Do you have another idea?
@chikko80
No
Hey fellas,
I've done some flashing on android before, but only on smartphones, instead of a car multimedia. My model is ZED AN817DK.
It looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The launcher it came with is kinda disgusting, so I installed Nova Launcher instead.
Regardless, the system barely works, even on the stock settings / factory reset status.
Apps are crashing, changing the audio option in Waze takes a whole 2 minutes to even open up the menu for the option
(the app works but the input is unresponsive for 2 minutes until the menu appears).
I've tried contacting the shop I bought it in and they sent me a "firmware" update in the form of an APK file that will not launch in the device. I don't think I saw an option in it's administrator settings or anywhere else to update firmware via file (only check for firmware update - and it's always "up to date").
So I think I'll resort to flash a custom rom on this. I'm a bit worried since in the scenario where things go wrong I rely only on a pen hole style reset button which I don't fully trust to reset successfully if a custom rom is installed.
Is there a general flashing guide for these devices? How safe is it, as in what are the chances of completely bricking the device?
Are there general or common roms that work well on these devices?
