SwitchMe - Multi User Manager for Android OS

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.

The technology behind SwitchMe saves all of your applications and data, protects it and stores it as a file in memory. You can then log out of an account and log into a fresh installation of Android or another account with its own unique content.

You may create as many profiles as the memory is capable of holding. Some of these may require very little free memory because they contain few apps, others will be larger as they contain many applications and lots of cache and data.

This application works best on tablet devices with large internal memory cards, so users may experience issues related to applications and their data stored on handset SD cards. Read the help carefully to avoid issues!

Why is this functionality useful?

Privacy - the most obvious benefit is that you can securely share one device among multiple users, which gives you privacy and peace of mind.

Testing - if you are a developer, you can use profiles as clean sandboxes to test your applications and their interaction with the system.

Gaming – with multiple installations of Android on a single device, you can now play online MMOs as different characters.

Speed - the games your kids play slow down your tablet, but with SwitchMe you can easily create profiles in without games or messengers.

Battery life - when the battery is low but there are important emails or documents to edit later, switch to a profile which only contains these essentials.

These of course are only suggestions - there are plenty of other uses for the functionality SwitchMe offers.

Lite version restrictions

- Only two profiles are allowed
- No password protection

Usage warning

Its critical to understand that incorrect use of this application can potentially harm your device. This can happen if you create and switch to a profile that exceeds the available memory – booting into this profile will cause a boot loop as Android attempts to unsuccessfully build the Dalvik cache.

Before proceeding the use we recommend that you perform a full nandroid backup through recovery.

WARNING - IF YOU HAVE ISSUES SWITCHING BACK TO YOUR MAIN PROFILE, SIMPLY INSTALL SUPERUSER FROM THE MARKET

WARNING: APPS 2 SD AND SIMILAR SETUPS ARE NOT CURRENTLY SUPPORTED
