Multiuser / profiles option missing - Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers

I received my tab s6 today and got really disappointed when I realised I don't have the option to switch users profile not create another user account localy just like it is explained in this link https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/...additional-user-accounts-to-my-galaxy-tablet/
Apparently they removed the "Users" option in step 3. Anyone knows if there is a way to activate it? I'm even thinking about returning it... I can't believe I can't use such a basic feature so I can have my own accounts apps etc in my profile and my gf in hers... Just like windows users or any other OS, even vanilla Android had this option...
Thank you!

Ok, in case this helps anyone in the future. Seemed like my firmware was capping android multi-user so I did not have the option to use it.
What I did:
- Rooted the device (instructions in this forum)
- Edited build.prop in system folder to enable multiuser https://www.xda-developers.com/add-multi-user-support-android/
- Reboot

I just checked on my tab s6 SM-T865N and I can go through the steps to setup multi user accounts.
I don't know if it makes any difference or not but it is the 256GB LTE South Korean version. (Firmware T865NKOU1ASH2)

[Q] Samsung Dive dependancies for ICS roms?

I am trying to get Samsung Dive working on my phone but I think the rom developer removed some files since settings just crashes when attempting to turn it on, so I want to replace them.
According to a old list the four apks needed are
IMEITracker.apk
signin.apk
MobileTrackerEngineTwo.apk
syncmldm.apk
Of these the last two are still around on my rom but I can't find the first two anywhere even in the stock samsung LPQ firmware files which I extracted on my computer, so I assume they are depreceated.
Does anyone know what else I need to get Dive to work? I am unable to use any SMS controlled tracking software due to other software choices I have made so this is important to me.
I finally figured it out by doing a diff on the list of apks from the stock firmware and my chosen rom and getting a short list of removed apks led me to the only one that sounded like a option and it worked.
For anyone else looking I only had to replace Samsungservice.apk and Dive started working great.
mine.still does't work after i put the mobiletrackengine.apk and samsungservice.apk can you list what do you have in system/app
I've added those Samsung prerequisites but when I try to enable Remote Control the small popup comes and says: Register Google account first.
But I have already google account (and samsung account) in Accounts and sync.
Do you know what that means?
I used to have Samsung dive on gingerbread and it worked.
Hi guys,
As far as I know you need "SevenEngine.apk" & "SyncmlDM.apk". It took me ages to figure out.
I hope this helps
Ok, I've installed all apks you mentioned, then remove and add google and samsung account and it seems to work but I can't connect through samsung dive. I've tried with different internet connection..
Hi, I've the same error, I only have tu push samsungservices.apk and I can log in into my samsung account, but in samsungdive, no service can connect, nor location either call logs.
Can anyone upload these files?
Thanks!

Any further advancements on the requirements of what is needed to get tracking set up. I am making sure this works after my SGS1 got stolen. On SGS2 now with custom ROM, but went to the trouble of downloading stock firmware and deodexing entire ROM to make SURE this works.
Anyone know what the gingerbread mobiltrackerUI.apk did? I have included that in my ROM as well to see if that will make any difference?
That should be enough: https://www.wuala.com/wanam/v11.5/WanamLite.DXLP9.SamsungApps.zip/?key=G5G7NSyOYU5P
BTW. that is interesting if somebody has already lost his phone without enabled tracking https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lookout.labs.planb&hl=en

Thanks, actually I have the original optus ROM and have deodexed it and have all packages from standard LP8 ROM and it still says I have to register my Google Account? I have gone on to dive......still no go? I want to enable remote control so I can eventually get the wiperreceiver.apk working from the Gingerbread ROM, if I have remote control working it won't take me long to get the app functioning on my phone I'll happily wipe my phone to test it lol, so long as I back up to ext SD card and pull the card from the phone and then test it

Has anyone been able to make this work?
I can see my phone on Samsung dive site but nothing work (ringing, tracking, locking).
Register google account first
Hello,
i'm using darkyROM and added all the apks mentioned here (related to samsung dive).
I can tick the option to notify when SIM card changed, but I am unable to tick the remote control option. When I try to enable it, is shows a notification stating "Register google account first".
Can somebody tell me what's wrong or list all the apks needed (the link on previous page (wuala.... ) is broken.
Thanks in advance!

[Q] Super User Elite?

Hi,
I'm new to this super-user thing and I'm sure I'll ask the same stupid questions all newbies ask. I just rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 it's not the international model it it's the sphd -l710 I believe (Sprint) and I have the superuser app available but to change any of the settings is it true you need to download superuser elite because i thought just by rooting my device I would be able to change options on the phone such as speed, etc. What other options does rooting my phone give me access to. I know probably too many to list but to just give me an idea. Also if i say stopped paying my bill to sprint would i still be able to connect to wi-fi without sprint coverage. Any other information for a newbie that could help in me exploring my newly rooted galaxy s2 would be helpful. I mainly just rooted my device because I've heard that it gives you access to certain options sprint does not want you to have access to....Oh yea forgot to also ask, I guess now that I've rooted my phone I can disable the shutter sound of my camera if u could give me quick instructions on how to do that also it would be appreciated. I kno I'm a pain in the a** but thank you so much in advance for your patience and co-operation..
You don't need to touch superuser. Use titanium backup to remove apps and root explorer/some free version to access files, just make sure to select read/write option. Search in your system app data till you find the camera file and delete the sound file ****.ogg sorry i can't be more help, found this via Google while searching else, i just didn't see a reply so i thought I'd help.superuser elite is more of a"support the developer app "for now. Cheers mate

Either you have the stock recovery : place the update.zip at the root of your Internal storage,
either you have an unlocked bootloader + custom recovery (TWRP 3.0.2-0) : place any .zip you want anywhere...
If you want a custom recovery, ask me.

Modify the file to spoof firmware type from China to International. (with that tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65533839&postcount=69)
You now have 4.5.0.0A, spoofed in G.
Simply install an International firmware (5.1.5.0G)
You now have 5.1.5.0G, no spoof : real International...
When 5.1.6.0G will be released, you will only have to simply install by downloading the update.zip to your PRO 5 with the browser... Then moving the file at the root with the file browser...

[ROM][ROOT][STOCK][7.0] v2 Samsung Tab A 2016 10.1 (SM-P585Y/SM-P580), Jul 23, 2017

Greetings!
ROMs for the two variants of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2016, 10.1") with S Pen:
WiFi+Cellular (SM-P585Y) gtanotexllte (other variants, SM-P585, SM-P585N0, SM-P585M etc. not tested for ROM compatibility)
http://www.samsung.com/sg/tablets/galaxy-taba-p585/SM-P585YZWAXSP/​WiFi only (SM-P580) gtanotexlwifi (even this has not been tested since I don't have this device)
http://www.samsung.com/us/business/support/owners/product/SM-P580NZKAXAR​
Disclaimer: No warranties, stated or implied. Flashing a custom ROM might void your warranty. If you download the ROM & use it, you do so at your own risk. The author or XDA are not liable for any issues arising out of the usage of this ROM.
Different people have different requirements, so I have made available two versions of the ROM:
- Lite (heavily debloated with almost all Samsung apps removed, since I don't use them)
- Full (No debloat/no apps removed, apart from Knox)
Current version - Nougat 7.0 ROM v2 (rooted with Magisk 13.3)
Download Nougat 7.0 ROM v2 for SM-P580 WiFi only
Lite: Google Drive
Full: Google Drive
Download Nougat 7.0 ROM v1 for SM-P585Y WiFi+Cellular
Lite: Google Drive
Full: Google Drive
Previous versions - Marshmallow 6.0.1 ROMS (no further development):
Download Marshmallow 6.0.1 ROM v2 for SM-P585Y WiFi+Cellular (its somewhere between lite & full)
Mega, Mediafire, Dropbox,
Download Marchmallow 6.0.1 ROM v1 for SM-P580 WiFi only
Lite: Dropbox
Full: Dropbox
(Additional disclaimer: I don't have the WiFi only tab, so I cannot test this ROM. It underwent the same process as the WiFi+Cellular model, which I do have, so it should be okay. If you encounter any issues, please let me know.)
Pre-requisites:
Enable Developer options by going to Settings -> About device -> Software info -> click 7 times on 'Build number'.
Now go to Settings -> Developer options -> Turn on 'OEM Unlock' & 'USB Debugging' if not already done so.
Caution: The stock ROM has Verifed Boot enabled with device-mapper-verity (dm-verity) kernel feature, which prevents a successful bootup if it detects any modification to the original setup. See details. This needs to be disabled if you need to install a custom recovery, or a custom ROM.
Download dm-verity disabler:
https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/
Download TWRP recovery:
LTE version - https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxytaba101lte2016spen.html
WiFi version - https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxytaba101wifi2016spen.html
Instructions - Install TWRP Recovery & flash DM-Verity disabler:
Transfer the downloaded file 'no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip' to SD card or OTG USB drive.
Download Odin 3.12.3 or any recent version.
Shutdown your tab.
Use Power+Volume Down+Home to reach the Download screen & then press Volume Up to confirm.
Use the AP section to flash the TWRP recovery.
After installing TWRP via Odin, uncheck auto reboot & manually go into TWRP to install the file 'no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip'
THEN, format /data, DON'T wipe it.
Booting to the stock ROM AFTER installing TWRP without doing this will show you a Verification failed warning, asking you to reset to factory defaults, since you basically overwrote Samsung's default recovery with TWRP, so it is cross with you.
Instructions - Install ROM:
Copy ROM to SD card or OTG USB drive (TWRP can have issues reading the internal storage)
Insert the SD card or OTG USB drive into the tab (very important!)
Press Power + Volume Up + Home & keep them pressed till you reach the TWRP splash screen
Swipe right to allow modification
Install 'no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip' from SD card or OTG USB drive
Format /data
From Advanced Wipe, wipe Dalvik/ART Cache, System, Internal Storage & Cache
Install the ROM, no need to wipe again since we already wiped & formatted in TWRP
Remember to remove the tick mark against reboot before clicking next, do NOT reboot yet!
Wipe Dalvik/ART cache (yes, again, after ROM install)
NOW, Reboot
Let the ROM boot, give it time
Install any extra applications you need
Bugs/Limitations & Workarounds:
Some APKs have been removed as part of the deknox/debloat, however, the appropriate system level modifications have not been touched in order to remain as close to stock as possible. So if you try to change a setting which relies on the removed feature, the appropriate app might force close, or it may continue to wait for the missing app. This is expected. Currently I have no plans to correct this behavior.
Software updates will not work.
Google Play Services might force close, so you will need to update it.
Samsung notes may force close out of the box. Just update it from Google Play Store. It will work after that. (zayi)
Accessibility service doesn't work on the debloated/lite ROM. Just use any third party keyboard like Swiftkey/Google Gboard etc & then enable the service for the application you desire. (zayi)
ROM features: See post # 2
Extra recommendations for ROM & App recommendations: See post # 3

Extra recommendations for the tab:
Since SM-P585Y doesn't have a huge internal storage, just 16 GB, out of which, only ~9 GB is left for the user, you may want to use adoptable storage to use your SD card as internal storage. Go to this thread by ashyx to enable adoptable storage, whereby you have the option to convert your SD card as an internal storage unit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/how-to/patch-adoptable-storage-enabler-t3507387. The only caveat is that it formats & converts the whole SD card for use as internal storage & you won't be able to pop the card out & use it on your PC to transfer data, you will need to transfer data via the USB cable just like you would for the internal storage.
Go to Developer options & turn off Windows, Transitions & Animator animations. It would visibly speed up your tab slightly by cutting down on the slight delay introduced by the animations.
App recommendations (Free in Play Store):
'Xodo PDF Reader & Editor' for PDF annotation
'INKredible - Handwriting Note' for taking notes with guaranteed beautiful handwriting

Can we instal xposed in these ROM?

I went too far in my debloating, which doesn't play nice with formatting /data, so I've added some stuff back & christened the new ROM v2. Uploading, should be up shortly. I've installed Xposed on it. Looks okay.
EDIT: New ROM v2 uploaded.
I don't use Xposed much, however, I was able to install:
Xposed framework ver 86.1
Xposed Installer ver 3.1
Modules: Xposed edge & Gravitybox (MarshMallow)
It seems to be behaving itself, don't see any errors in my rudimentary testing.

LOL, Merry Christmas, WiFi folks.
I don't think there's much difference between the WiFi & LTE models apart from the SIM module , so if you're feeling brave, you can try to install it.
Otherwise let me try to look up the WiFi ROM & cook t the same way. Your tab would have to be the guinea pig though.
By the way, which is the software version for P580? I saw this one online: P580KXU1APJ1 from November 2016. Any release after that?

I went too far in my debloating, which doesn't play nice with formatting /data, so I've added some stuff back & christened the new ROM v2. Uploading, should be up shortly. I've installed Xposed on it. Looks okay.
EDIT: New ROM v2 uploaded.
I don't use Xposed much, however, I was able to install:
Xposed framework ver 86.1
Xposed Installer ver 3.1
Modules: Xposed edge & Gravitybox (MarshMallow)
It seems to be behaving itself, don't see any errors in my rudimentary testing.

Wow... ty so much. Download it and will try it today...thanks brother
Seems P580UEU1APH6 as far as XAR release.
BTW, does this get rid of the S pen features?
japinder said:
LOL, Merry Christmas, WiFi folks.
I don't think there's much difference between the WiFi & LTE models apart from the SIM module , so if you're feeling brave, you can try to install it.
Otherwise let me try to look up the WiFi ROM & cook t the same way. Your tab would have to be the guinea pig though.
By the way, which is the software version for P580? I saw this one online: P580KXU1APJ1 from November 2016. Any release after that?

Yes, that is an acknowledged bug.
However, I recently installed Xposed framework, Xposed installed & a couple of Xposed modules. Afterwords I again applied the dm-verity & no-ecryption zip and then again formatted data. Now Samsung Notes is back up running. Wondering, whether that has anything to do with Xposed, or the data format...
If you haven't setup a ton of apps, maybe you can just try to install the zip & format data to see if Samsung Notes works... However, it will mean starting from scratch again in terms of setting up your tab...

Sorry, I removed TTS in my haste to debloat the ROM, since I don't use it.
I guess if you do need it, maybe I can upload another version of the ROM with zero debloat, which doesn't have any apps removed. It would be same as stock in terms of apps, but you still have the other features.
Let me know.

I've created two ROMs for the WiFi model, based off the build P580ZSU1APJ3:
- Lite (heavily debloated, with almost all Samsung apps removed, Air Command removed too)
- Full (only Knox removed, all other apps remain as it is, Air Command works)
So now both 2016 S-Pen tab models are equally represented. No partiality any longer.
Jp
Appreciate the work. Is it possible to have a lite version with just the s-pen functionality left in or is that dependent on too many other apps? Or, is there an apk that can be downloaded to re-enable air command?

LOL, thanks. Its just selective debloat. Just more work, that's all.
These are APK's, but system apps, not user apps, so normal install like other apps may not work as intended, might be more messy, even if it works.
Air Command, the feature to pop up a selection of commands targeted towards the S Pen, is not a feature I find terribly useful. When I take out the S Pen, I use it for two purposes:
- Take handwritten notes with INKredible app.
- Annotate PDF's with Xodo.
Air Command just gets in the way, I have to dismiss it, causing one more S Pen click or back button key press. And keeps on showing the translucent button, which I can sometimes press inadvertently. Apart from Clock (I just like the white icon by Samsung, instead of horrible pale purple clock icon by Google), I just replace all the Samsung apps with the ones by Google. Hence the heavily debloated approach. I understand, Samsung Notes, with it OneNote like functionality might appeal to some people, the automatic prompt might appear cool too, even if its not for me.
Let me see what I can do, maybe a third, not-so-lite & not-so-full ROM. No ETA's though.

The tablet is my wifes and she uses this feature on the tab and her note - wouldn't be able to convince her to switch to a slimmed down rom without it

Hi everyone I manually upgraded with the file
UL-I002D-WW-30.40.30.93-user.zip downloaded from the ASUS server (see some posts above) in my ASUS ZENFONE 7PRO Italian version and everything went smoothly.
No data loss
Call recording remains as effective as on Android 10
Seems slightly faster
To perform the manual upgrade I proceeded in this way:
Downloaded the file from the ASUS server (see some posts above)
Copied the file in the main directory of the phone (No in the SD card)
Turn off the phone
Restarted the phone a notification will inform you that there is the file for the upgrade
Clicked on the notification and the rest happens automatically.
Remember to have the phone over 50% charged, if the procedure fails halfway through, it is painful.
Happy Easter everyone
Greetings from a new user of ASUS ZS671KS.
Just updated to Android 11 manually, so far everything seems to be OK. I had an issue with location not fixing on non-GPS satellites (posted the details here in the GPSTest Google group), and the update has resolved it for me. If you don't have this issue, you may want to wait until the update is officially rolled out in your region though, I'm sure it will be available soon. If you still want to try the manual update process, I suggest you do a full local backup to the microSD card before updating, just in case if you have to downgrade later (since it will wipe all your data).
The new full-OTA is here:

Nice! I've downloaded it but how do we install the zip? Can't find any menu to install zips. Is there some kind of 3rd party software to be used for this, like LG has it's LGUP?
