[App] SwitchMe - Share Your Device - MULTIPLE USER SPACES

Hi guys Im one of the developers of SwitchMe - an app that creates multiple user spaces. We have just released a new build which should fully support the T2s. Please have a look and let me know if everything is working as it should!
Thanks in advance, PR after the break:
.................................................................................................
SwitchMe - share your device!
SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple installations of Android just as you would on a desktop computer.
SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple user spaces just as you would on a desktop computer, with each profile having its own separate system settings, apps and data.
Some of the benefits of this technology:
Privacy
Securely share one device among many users, protect your accounts with passwords and log out automatically.
Kids
Create a profile for the kids, with only the apps and access you feel comfortable with.
Gaming
Overclock your profile for maximum performance in intensive games
Speed
Imagine a buttery smooth profile, with no kids games, messengers or bloatware to slow things down.
Testing
Create a sandbox profile to easily test applications and themes - no more nandroid nightmares!
Battery
Switch to a profile which only contains the essentials to save power through brute force.
Critical usage warning:
Incorrect use of this application can potentially harm your device. Before proceeding with use we strongly recommend that you perform a full nandroid backup through the device recovery.
READ THE HELP FILE CAREFULLY TO AVOID ISSUES
Without the Key, this application allows a maximum of 2 profiles and no security features.
Only the standard Android implementation of Apps2SD is currently supported. Use all others at your own risk.
Most devices should be compatible as long as they have enough free internal memory to create secondary profiles. The application will warn users if available memory is low.
These of course are only suggestions - there are plenty of other uses for the functionality SwitchMe offers.

The free version allows the creation of two profiles and has no security features.

Looks cool. I'd try it out but I hate crippled apps that need a key to work properly.
Good luck.

And yet there you are, trying it out.
Also, the free app already gives you everything. You just have to use you brain to make it work.
Attitude... it affects the best of us.

Anything to report?

Hi
very helpful app for a family with only one tablet, works almost 100% OK for us.
everytime i switch profile a android OS update is done, and after a few seconds im loged out again, after second logon it's OK
Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5110 4.0.4 XXBLH4

Installed it on my GT2 3113 this morning and have been playing around with it. I do get the same android OS update thing as listed above when switching users. Also sometimes when the app opens it is a blank screen with no profiles or details listed. Running RomsWell V1.1 stock rooted/deodexed 4.0.4 rom

I love this app

I've noticed that if I don't use the switch screen options then the app works fine and doesn't give me the blank main page that I was experiencing previously.

Also, what folder are the additional users profile/apps installed to?

Im looking into it.
/DATA/.PROFILES is where everything is kept.

Guys there have been reports of the app being blank sometimes. Im trying to work out if this is something to do with superuser vs supersu. If youve experienced this, please let me know and be sure to tell me which of the two youre using...

I haven't been having that problem since I disabled the "switch screen functionality" in the settings. I do use the "fast switch" option and just open the app when I want to switch profiles. I am using SuperSU v0.96

You disabled the two main functions just because you sometimes couldn't see the statistics page? That seems a little extreme...

No, not just because it didn't show statistics, but I wouldn't be able to switch users unless I rebooted the device. When the problem would occur it also wouldn't bring up the switch user screen on the lock screen after waking up. If the icon notification was enabled it just opened up the statistic screen, not the user switch screen. I would get stuck in the current users profile until I rebooted and hoped the switch user screen would show after start up.
I like the functionality of the switch user screen but with it glitching like that on my device the only sure way to be able to switch profiles is to disable all that and just go into the app/statistic screen and click switch at the bottom.

I just noticed that there is a widget for this app that allows switching profiles without opening the app.

I think your problem is with supersu (if thats what youre using). If possible, change it to superuser or at least make sure that youve set supersu up to always grant and whatever.
Supersu is very green and i wouldnt recommend it to anyone.

I have used this app for awhile now and really love it as it allows both my girlfriend and I to separately use my nexus 7 without interfering with each others settings. However, I recently flashed a CM 10 nightly (which i really like) and the switcher no longer works, freezing during each switch attempt.
I know it says CM 10 is not supported at the current time on the app page, but are there an plans to include this support in the future? Any info is appreciated and thanks for your work.

Task execution issue

Hello people,
I don't know if anyone else is experience this but I thought I mention it. Also I apologise if this is the incorrect place to start this thread, but I have looked on xda for a tasker dedicated section for troubleshooting.
Now I have a automated WIFI profile that basically enables whenever I load a specific app. But for some strange reason it does not always execute, when a specific app does load and other times it does?
Does anyone else notice this strange behaviour going on with tasker?
If so is it a bug that needs reporting or is there something wrong with my profile?
Thanks in advance!

In Tasker settings/preferences/monitor put to "Always" the Use Reliable Alarms option.

It seems the profile triggers, but not the task.

You can test the Task by manually executing it. Maybe you're using a plug-in that requires permissions to run.

If I run the task manually everything executes just fine.
The task does use one plugin and thats for secure settings, but thats about it.

UPDATE: I think I might know what the problem is, and I think that tasker is unable to wake the device to execute the task, so I added a wake device action in my task and see if this works.

In LL and MM there is battery optimization where Tasker and Secure Settings should be excluded. Other 3rd party battery saving apps might also affect the operation of Tasker and its plugins.

This is true I had taken the advice from here >
As far as I am aware tasker and it's plugins are whitelisted from other 3rd party on my device, so I still don't understand why it still does not work unless I add the wake device action from secure settings.

Any luck on this? I'm noticing that tasker is very slow to execute any actions outside of the app. Meaning, if I create a task that simply has one step..."beep". Next, add that task as a shortcut to my nova launcher desktop. Click the shortcut...it takes almost 30seconds for it to execute the beep. I've been a tasker user for years. Not sure why this lag is occurring.
Tried this...
Tasker is not battery optimized.
Reinstalled Tasker.
rooted Pixel, 7.1.1

I have the same problem with my periodical Wi-Fi check.I have to add the 1 second CPU wake, but it's still not very reliable.maybe the best way to get over this is turning on the screen, but this is kind of defeat the purpose for me so....
any other suggestion?

There is one thing that you can try go to Tasker > preferences > misc and untick reduce resource usage.

I have tried the screen wake function, but even then it doesn't work.
I did notice however that Google connectivity was causing issues for me, such as not able to connect to my ap automatically.

Chnange audio profiles based on location

Hi
I have installed on my phone the app audio profiles with a tasker plugin
I've created a tasker profile that turn my phone on vibration mode when I'm in a particular location, but now how can I disable vibration when I leave this particular location? Which kind of profile I must create?

If you profile is GPS or cell location then surely you just need to create an exit task. So once the profile isn't true it'll run the exit task, which you can determine what is in there.

Thanks.
So, if I understand, I have to simply long press on my profile (vibration mode) and choose "Add exit activity".
Then after choosen the exit activity my phone will run this activity when I will be not anymore in the profile's location?

Hold on the current entry task and this will give you an option to add in the exit task, so either create new or choose an existing one. Hope you get it sorted out [emoji106]

hello, i am trying to make a tasker profile that opens a specific application (apk) when the speed drops below 4 kmh only with the GPS because i do not have any sensors. Unfortunately I am still not able to set the variables in the Speed well and if I need a secure setting plugin for the GPS. Can you lead me towards success or advise me how to get started? Thank you

I'm afraid I've not looked at any of the GPS settings or functionality. Try a search on the internet, you might find something.

Initial Tasker Configuration Checklist

Quit scratching your head trying to remember how to configure Tasker and use my initial Tasker configuration checklist!
Features include a bullet list of configuration and setting preference I typically use when I installing Tasker on a wiped or new device.

Enjoy!

hello, you know if there is a way to do this with a task?

Hey there! Unfortunately I do not... I wish there was though! If you are rooted there is always TiBu, I used to just do that until I stopped rooting my devices a few years ago. Thanks for reading my post!

when you create a task and go to Tasker action, there is something called Set Tasker Pref. You can use this to set different aspects of Tasker configuration, isn't this what you want?

That method can do a few things however it will handle a very limited amount of items compared to my list. Hope that helps!

Tasker location profiles not working

I have recently flashed an AOSP ROM to my LG G4, coming from a stock Nougat ROM and previously stock MM. On both previous versions I was able to use Profiles with Location contexts (turn on/off wifi, set volume, etc) with no problem. Now the location contexts have stopped working but the other ones seem to be working fine. I have location set on high accuracy, and all the permissions granted for Tasker, and the other apps which use location work fine. I have enabled logs but when I run them there are no errors, the profiles with location context simply don't seem to have any input triggering them. Any suggestions?

Ooops. It didn't post. Lol. Here..
All u have to do is make the profile task and tap play button. That way it will tell you if Tasker is denied/granted SuperSU rights. No need to install secure settings anymore. Just tap Grant to SuperSU. Also, check your SuperSU app as sometimes it denies Tasker automatically

The problem is not executing the task, as for example in my home profile I was able to replace the location context with Wifi Near. The problem is that I cannot implement profiles relying on location as apparently they don't work.
But anyway, I tried setting up the profile with location context, played the task but I got no request to grant SuperSU rights, and in SuperSU app Tasker does not appear, neither as granted nor denied...

You have to use an action that has "Use Root" and check it, I think.
Are you just using Tasker location contexts, or AutoLocation? I never had good luck with the former.

I was only using location contexts, for example for when I get home my WiFi turns on, the ringer and media volume are set to a predefined level...
Meanwhile, I reverted back to a stock ROM and just as before everything works well. When at home, as soon as I set my home location as a context, it turns green and executes the task

Could you post more details about your profile? What do you use for location context? Log?

The profile I use is very simple, when I get to my home location, Wifi is turned on and Media and Ringer volumes are set to high. The location context is my house without GPS. I can't provide logs of the problem as I have changed ROMs to a LG stock one and I no longer have the problem.

I can confirm that, for example, wifi near triggers just fine from MM to N and now on O.
My guess is there is a a permission not enabled, or the location service doesn't have wifi scanning enabled. Something along these lines.
To post your profile (always a good idea when it's not working as expected) make sure it's named - not a default name assigned by tasker. Then long press on the name to highlight the profile. Go to the 3-dot menu and select export -> Description to Clipboard.
Then you'll be able to paste it. Be aware, it easier to use pastebin then link to a post here. If you paste in a post here, the forum software will convert all semicolons with characters after, typically "on" and "off" to emoticons making it very hard to read.
