[Xiaomi] [MIUI] Switch users issue - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
Is there any people already used Multiple users in MIUI?
I need to use Multiple android users on my Redmi Note 8T running MIUI 11 very much.
In order to do that I turned off MIUI optimizations and changed build.prop(via unlocking bootloader) to have:
fw.max_users=5
fw.show_multiuserui=1
Also tried adding:
fw.show_hidden_users=1
fw.power_user_switcher=1
I see the "Multiple Users" option in Settings now.
However, when I create New User, finish it's setup process and switch back to Owner,
I can't use this New User anymore. It doesn't let me switch to it again. (Click on "New User" in users list does nothing.)
Also there is no User icon in notification bar menu to switch users.
I have a guess why:
1) MIUI Second Space feature: when I create new user and set up it's profile I constantly see Second Space Icon in the notification bar near battery percentage.
And only way it lets me switch back to Owner is clicking on "Switch" Icon (which was automatically created shortcut at main screen). Clicking Owner in "Multiple Users" menu does nothing.
2) not as plausible as first one but: When I create new user profile it doesn't let me finish the process without setting it's password first. Maybe
Second Space logic somehow can't use new profile password.
Is there any people already used Multiple users in MIUI?
Or maybe someone have any ideas on how to disable Second Space interception of users switch with modifying some prop files or other system files?
I will appreciate any help with this very much.
PS. Also I know there is an option to switch users via running terminal/shell commands, but it's not so convinient to run these commands every time and it requires root.
I prefer to not root the device and try every option I can first.
If there is nothing to do with that, then I am willing to use Lineage OS instead of rooted MIUI.
Thanks for any feedback!

I have the same issues, I add a new user from 'multiple users' in settings, but I have no way of actually switching back and forth between user profiles. Even EMUI allows this, which I never knew was possible up until a few days ago.

Any Updates?
I have same problem.
Is there a fix?

I m also searching for this only...
Is anyone knows this?

Hi Friends, Am learning android application development and working on my first android application Named "Password Safe".
This is a very simple password keeper application with following features
1. You can save user id and passwords (of different types ) for different websites.
2. Password details can be saved in Phone memory as well as Memory card
3. Password details in memory card will be stored in encrypted formatted using your Password Safe Application.
4. In case you flashed your phone or uninstalled the application, You can recover all your password details by using this Password safe application. And to do so-
a. install the password safe application
b. Create User id and password ( same as which you used before to store your password details)
c. Go to Password details page and use Load from sdcard menu.
Please try this application and let me about any issues (or enhancement) so that we can make it more user friendly and useful.
Change Log Version 1.2
1. Now you can fetch details for any particular site ( No need to give the complete name just mention 2 - 3 character of the name and it will fetch details of all the similar sites )
2. Option to delete all the password details from phone memory.
Internet access permission is required to display Ads (Advertisements ). There is an option in Preferences Menu. from there you can enable Or disable ads
Note : Changes done through Preferences Menu will reflect next time when you will log in into the application.

[Q] Need some help in SearchIndexProvider

Hi,
I am trying to implement SearchIndexProvider for one of my rom's main config menu's preference. . Everything is working however I am having issues with getNonIndexableKeys list.
I am calling a root checking method in this to make sure root is available else A and B preference shouldn't show and they don't when I set "NO_DATA_RES_ID" instead of xml file reference in SearchIndexableResources.java because my builds are rootless, however when I flash a root package like SuperSU or magisk, and the condition is reverse and now I can access root through the check, I expect these values to show up in search but they still don't.
My primary expectation was that the search index is dynamically updated but it doesn't.
Same thing happens to my other check which check whether an application is not uninstalled or disabled and then show the preference for it and the preference shows after first boot as the app is there but if I disable it or remove it, it still shows up in search results whereas it shouldn't as I removed it and the check result should give a false for that condition but even in that case, search index doesn't get updated.
If I use an xml instead of "NO_DATA_RES_ID" in SearchIndexableResources.java, all my preferences are available going pass any check I make in getNonIndexableKeys list.
So can I make search index dynamically update so these changes can work, can I read more about it somewhere as I failed to find any information about it on google.
Thanks.
According to this, I need to make preference dynamic to achieve what I want here and for that I need to make it a dynamic activity. Article states that it should be done if my preference appears on dashboard home but it doesn't, it comes under Customized Settings option but it works for other preferences so I made my preference a dynamic one by adding it to AndroidManifest and set an intent to it, it still works like before and the preferences are still not dynamically loaded so I am still stuck.

Add Guest mode and Multiple Users. (Easy)

For those of you who's carriers have disabled the Guest mode and Multiple Users mode you can easily turn it back on provided your phone IS rooted and you're capable of editing the build.prop file in the /system folder.. This feature comes in handy when your family or friends want to use your phone and you don't want them to be snooping through your stuff! Add this to your build.prop file
#
# Multi-Users
#
fw.max_users=3
fw.show_multiuserui=1
And then reboot the phone and upon turning back on swipe down from the top quick settings and you'll see a new option (circle picture) next to the system icon gear.. Tap that and check it out..
As always, make sure you make a backup first since you never know if anything could possibly go wrong!
I have the unlocked Note. Is guest mode disabled on the unlocked version? Or do I need to root to enable it? Thanks!

You should be able to see a picture right next to the system icon gear in the quick settings menu. If you can't tap on it then you don't have it and the only way I know of to get it is with root access to change the build.prop file.
No Icon visible
Hello. My Note8 is rooted. After changing Build.prob, I can add users, but not switch. The Icon in Task bar is missing. I checked the Build.prob. entrys. They are correct. Any help?

Android x86 "Developer Options are not available for this user"

How do I fix this? I get "Developer Options are not available for this user" upon entering Developer Options. I can't access pull down menu and recents view.
I have access via debugging and root but don't want to reflash entire system. I suspect it's a bad configured profile, maybe I could create another Owner profile and delete the corrupted one??
I forgot to mention I can't install any apks either.
I believe it is something having to do with android startup wizard but it doesn't seem to exist on my ROM.
While I can't help with your issue having no experience in that department myself, I can clean the thread for you, OP.
Sorry I can't do more.

No option to make Default Apps

Hello Forum,
Usually when you tap a link or document for the first time on a new device, you are presented with an list giving you the option to make one of the apps on the device the default app to open the link or document from now on.
In my case I just get a generic Android system error with a "report" button.
I solved the opening a link problem by using the option in Firefox to make it the default app.
However, for documents and anything else that may come my way, will crash instead of getting the familiar menu option mentioned above.
Any ideas, please?
Possibly an option that is turned on or off in system?
This is a stock ROM direct from Xiaomi. MIUI 10.1 Stable.
Thanks in advance.
I am using Solid Explorer file manager, there's such menu like you mentioned.
