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.

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?

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

Requires root.
Removes some of the limitations of the present 4.2 multi-users' policies.

I for one am itching to get one over here in UK. I am going to wait for the developer or unlocked gsm version to appear.
Are there others in the same boat? How are you getting yours sent over?
I don't think the UK/Europe is getting it in any form, the moto.uk dpage says 'something new is coming' but I suspect it's going to be the cut down cheapo version.
I know. Bit I can't be the inky one that's going to get one sent from the US

Your not alone mate. I will be importing one soon.
I will be either getting an AT&T 32GB customised one which I will unlock, or I will get the Developer Edition since that's 32GB too.

How are you getting it sent over? Or buying from a site?

I preordered mine on Sunday via Telesales. I am on the SERO-P plan and the website looked like it wanted to change my plan and my local store claims they cannot help me with a SERO plan. The whole process took way too long with all the upsell options they tried to push. I look forward to getting the phone though.
Trying to fight the urge to pre order but waiting on @rompnit to see what phone he is gonna go to next. I needs my MOAR!

I figure the Dev are smart enough to figure out how to root and get some good roms out. Eventually everyone upgrades and the s5 is the latest.

If u pre order don't do it thru sprint. They want $249.99 for upgrade but if u are a new customer u get it for $199.99. Use best buy and get the $199.99 price.

Most american carriers have the pay by month rates for the S5 with $0 down for the pre-order and about $27 for 24 months. Best buy doesn't offer that.
I ordered mine for $249 but it comes with a $50 rebate.

Kind of off topic but I still don't understand the whole knox thing. I know that tripping it voids your warranty, but is that really the only adverse effect of tripping it?

Ya know, I don't have a clear understanding of it either, but I see don't need that type of security on my devices. But yes, you will void the warranty with Samsung, but the TEP with sprint would stay intact. I tripped it a long time ago on my S4,but there all people who choose to keep there device As is. I can't blame them I guess. But it's definitely not gonna persuade me to not get the S5. I'm already way ahead getting my work in place. Unfortunately the sprint firmware will be different than he international version. Not by much tho. So yes, I'm taking everything from the S4 over to the S5[emoji12][emoji106]

Just ordered mine today! I'm coming from the S2, looking forward to a huge upgrade!
Preordered mine yesterday. I'm on an M7 right now but I'm tired of having a not so good camera. Also my M7 has a shattered screen and other problems so I'll pay less to get a new phone rather than replace this one.

You do realize that this is only if you are not using an upgrade. The final price with this deal is around $650.00.
Pre-ordered
will see how it turns out.
After reading this http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...ncryption-signing-and-locking-let-me-explain/ article, I got to thinking. Could we brute force the private Samsung key and sign our own ROMs? And would such a procedure allow true custom ROMs to be installed?
Just a thought, if it is possible I'd love to fiddle around with it.

Just a thought, but what if we build the update from source as "userdebug," adb sideload it, an then use "adb disable-dm-veity"?
