Multiple users - is this possible?
« on: May 03, 2014, 02:24:26 pm »
Hi,
I have a question whether it's possible to have multiple users for multiple accounts?
I have a tablet which is used by myself and someone else. Each of us having number of accounts (let's say 2 per each). I want to separate my access from someone else's by PIN or password to make sure we don't read each others emails, etc/
Is it possible in light or Pro version? thanks in advance.

Hi Paris Geek,
thanks for your response. I was thinking about this in case there is no option with Aqua Mail but wanted to check first. Apparently it seems the only solution for the moment.

Why don't you create a separate Android account. If you are using a JB or kitkat rom, you can create separate Android user accounts with their own apps and settings. Works great in combination with aqua mail.

Scanno, I am interested in your solution. Would you please elaborate a little by giving some practical details, i.e. how to create and switch easily from one user to another, etc. ? I'm using Note II, Android 4.3 - and Galaxy Tab 3, android 4.2, all with official rom and stock applications

Well multiple users is a default feature since jellybean. However it has to be enabled  by the rom builder by setting a device overlay value. So I do not know if your roms have the multi user feature.

If you do have the feature, you will see an "Users"  option in the standard settings app. You can create a new user there. Starting with kitkat (android 4.4) you have the choice between two types of users, a "regular" user that has a complete environment available or a restricted user. A restricted user can only run the apps that you give access to. Such a user does not have Play Store access.

Each user will have a separate data area and can have a pin code / password protection enabled.

Switching users is easy. For each user there will be an icon with name visable on the lockscreen. Pressing the icon of the user will switch to that users lockscreen.

Works fine with aqua mail.

Thank you Scanno, unfortunately roms I am using don't offer this feature.

Xposed Framework does have a module that can enable multi user on jellybean and higher roms. Search to find out if this can be applied on your roms

The app itself is single-user. It does work with the multi-user capabilities in Android 4.*, though.
