MultiUser Enable for LG G4 (H-811) T-Mobile [MM]



This Tweak Requires a Rooted LG G4 with a root explorer installed ( Recommended is FX File Explorer ) because it does not mess up with file permissions.
Please do it on your own risk, make a backup before messing up with your phone. I am not responsible if anything goes wrong.
The Tweak will probably work for other variants as well ( Sprint / Verizon / Korean / Dual Sim ) but not guarantee.


The Multi user feature is enabled by default in Europe Open Units but sadly the company disables it in other variants of different regions. So by applying a little tweak into your build prop you can enable it back.
Since most of us really like this feature so i searched for it and found a thread related to Lollipop for same feature. I implemented and it worked for me. So i thought i might share it for people like us who does not want others to mess up our settings.

1- Rooted Phone
2- Root Explorer
3- Edit Build.prop ( Found in system folder )
4- Add below lines.


Code:


fw.show_multiuserui=1
fw.max_users=5


5- Save build.prop and set permission 0644.
6- Reboot device and done.

No need to edit the Framework like in previous versions of android as by adding these lines everything will be enabled, Animation settings etc.

multi-user: only sharing list of all phonecalls (history) & all sms - or nothing?



Hi

using multi-user profiles with marshmallow: the list of phonecalls (history) and all sms are for all users the same.
Using 2 sim cards and separating business and private contacts in one phone it makes no sense to have only that 2 options:

1. user is NOT allowed to phone and sms (=will not see list of calls and sms), but will have only individual contacts
2. user is allowed to phone and sms, can only have his individual contacts. BUT he is sharing the phonecalllist (history) and sms from ALL other users.

Maybe that makes sense for somebody - but not for me.
The option to share ALL (incl. contacts !) - or nothing, that makes sense for me.
I want/need complete and separate profiles!
Every "user" in his user profile should see only his own contacts, his own phonecall history and his own sms.

How can I get that? Is there a workaround or app for that?

Recover multi-user in Marshmallow (without unlocking)



The Marshmallow update had a warning that multi-user function would go away if you didn't keep your account. I did not realize that meant one could never again do a factory reset in the future or would loose that functionality...

Is there a way to recover it? I still had my 2nd account (and thus the functionality) after the update, but I did a factory reset and now can't create a second account anymore. I want to keep the warranty so I'm not unlocked (and thus not rooted). Thanks!
