Enable multi-user feature on your Android one phone (running Android 5.1 Lollipop) without flashing .zip through custom recovery. All you need is root access.
Just go to /system , edit your "build.prop" file and add the following lines:
fw.max_users=3
fw.show_multiuserui=1
Save and reboot your phone. Done! Tested on Micromax Canvas A1.
Aren't there other procedures too? What's the point of it?

Very useful method. I test it and successful on my black view bv6000 running marshmallow
for those having trouble getting into the guest account and it sticks on unable to open, setting up, optimizing etc,
try and delete your setup-wizard apps in system-priv-apps as it sometimes will cause issues in setup of a additional user.
LG V20 confrimed working with this work around. still some other glitches, but good enough to add a kid user to your device!
Hello,
I have the multiuser service successfully enabled on my Acer liquid Z630S (Android 6 Marshmallow installed), but there is some problem.
I hope that someone can help me.
1) If I use the administrator account all works good.
If I use another user or the guest user, into settings the option "home page" and "audio" are missing.
Ringtones does not works, phone vibrates only.
It is no possible to manage the ringtones not even with physical buttons: the volume bar goes up and down, but no effect.
This problem affects only the phone ringtones: whatsapp, messenger and other ringtones and notifications have no problem.
Please, someone knows what permission do I must set for give to users the permissions for manage and use the audio ringtones, please?
XML files to set user permission are stored in /data/system/users, but I have not idea about what I would have to modify.
2) Files stored in the external SD card are not private, but available for all users, even the guest.
Please, someone know if it is possible to make private for any user also the files stored in the external SD card?
I thank you in advance everyone will advise me.
Greetings

But how do we come to know whether My Rom support it or Not?
Is it not Rom independent feature? I think it is Linux built in feature...
Hello!
I want to switch on the network connectivity speed display. It was in the settings panel earlier, but now it disappeared.
Or maybe not completely. If I search in the settings I can see that the option exists, but when I click on it, it's hidden... (See the PIC attached)
I'm guessing there is a option in a deeper level where I can set it.
Does anyone know a solution? My phone is rooted, so if it requires editing some config files, I'm all for it.
Thanks.
Mines the same except I got no root.. how did you do yours?
I managed to root with the recovery version.
More details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/general/guide-root-b803-recovery-version-t3157477
Thanks for the reply ... I will downgrade mine to 2.3 and root it and then upgrade again if that setting becomes available again ill let you know
So i have rooted my device via your method and after reinstalling lolipop i found that the setting was stil missing. I however noticed that if you installed the lolipop update from the vodacom version posted here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/general/huawei-p7-l10c02b817-android-5emui3-1-t3207363) it was there again. Unfortunatly for me there is some bugs in that update, there is no keybord app. I then started searching for a way to edit the system wide prefrence database file, where i also found the entry located inside the settings.db file , but it is not possible to edit it without corrupting the data for further use by the phone.
here are some screenshots from my findings

@Unified21 @DomeNet
with root edit data/cust/prop/local.prop
find this line:
ro.config.hw_hideNetworkSpeed=true
and change it to
ro.config.hw_hideNetworkSpeed=false
reboot
Now there is a new setting entry in display section
Great it works!
Thank you!
There's no feature in sounds or anywhere in settings. Also if I need device rooted to do that, please let me link to how to vid, as I've never done that.
As far as I kbow, if you have a G800F device you can do it using a custom kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5-mini/orig-development/kernel-custom-kernel-t3130662
For other models, probably using an Xposed module. Both need root.
Damn. I don't get it, why the f they removed it from settings after kitkat...
tried to activate in H with build.prop, and all the vibration was gone
Use SQLite editor. There is a database in package Settings storage named settings.db, find hapic_feedback_enabled name in system category and change the value from 0 to 1 then restart the phone. I think this will help ))
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.
Thanks SignatureBoy, worked like a champ.
Hi guys! I was wondering if anyone knows how to enable the Android built in NavBar on this device. I tried very different methods, from apps to manually mods, but nothing worked. I've added the line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" at the end of build.prop and nothing happened, so i tried to make a local.prop file containing that line in /data folder and still nothing happened. I've also tried by adding "ro.show.navigationbar=yes" in both build.pro and local.prop but still nothing happened. In the last i've installed Xposed, Gravity Box for MM end tried to enable the navbar from here....guess what? Still nothing happened. Please, does someone know how to achieve this? I need to use the nav bar.
P.s i know about the huge amount of alternatives on Google Play, but i don't want to use third part apps that eats my RAM. If i can enable the system built in there's no reason to download a separate app.
Thanks for everyone who reads this.
