Once those CEC patches start rolling it'll be quite nice for XBMC use...
But yea pretty much everything multimedia.

Try Google.

YouTube reviewer?

Anyone know of a YouTuber who basically just reviews ROMs/accessories/etc for our device? Kind of like how QBKing77 does it for Sprint Android devices. If not, its cool, just wondering. Thanks.

Don't know any, but that's a really good idea, I might try it soon.

Same here. I'd subscribe if it was an active channel. Look up QBKing77 to see how he does it,

Multi users on Nexus 4

I would love to see multi user on the nexus 4..I think it wouldn't be hard since it's already in 4.2... think it would make sense for doing different setups like different launcher, icon packs, theme etc..I wonder if it's just a line or lines of code to turn it on and/ or is any body up for the challenge!!?

Isn't that why we can make backups?

My nex 7 has it. You are sure you can't make other users already?

Multi-user support is only available on tablets. Nokia has a patent on multi-user support on phones.
I am sure a build.prop edit can fix it.

That is more for switching ROMs ...not having different setups (launcher, icon packs etc)

Exactly.. doesn't mean we can't figure a way to get it on our phones
Hmm I don't think a build. Prop edit will do it but I'll check

Well its only for tablets, I think the reason for that being tablets are more family and sharing, whereas phones are a personal device. Why would you want to share your phone?

I don't see anything in build.prop specifically disabling multi-user mode. Looks like I was wrong.

Ah I see. I didn't know that. I thought it was a 4.2 thing.. You are right though. I have no need for it on my phone.

Would be nice to have multi-users for testing and demo purposes.
Absolutely! Make an account for me and let me borrow your phone.

Bored, trolling or no way to imagine use cases when multi-users may be handy?
If I want to show something to a client on my Nexus 4 (or any other device) without providing access to my apps and data?
or
If I'm willing to give it to my 3-4 years offspring for a video or a game, without risking my contacts, notes, mails?

This is the only reason I would need it, but it is a good one. If my 5 year old wants to watch a movie or play a game I wouldn't have to worry about her screwing up my home screen or deleting apps like she has been known to do.
I believe Paranoid to be the answer. That's if you don't mind rooting.
Great example above and the most used I'm sure.

Have you tried on Nexus 7

Requires root.
Removes some of the limitations of the present 4.2 multi-users' policies.

Chameleon OS

Jus throwing this out there since i cant get into development myself yet. If some of the talented devs for the OG epic would wanna try to port this to our phones. I mean we got damn near ever other rom that been comin out so why not this one. Here is a link if someone wants to read up on it like i said jus seeing if anyone is interested in trying to port. From what i read its based of CM10.1 so i dont see why we wouldnt be able to use it. http://www.chameleonos.org/index.php
This would not go in development. You posted in the correct place.

I think he was saying he can't become a developer rather than talking about what section to post in.

Lol I do what I can. I don't have my PC at the moment. Had to send it for repairs. Should be back fairly soon though. When it is, I will throw something your way. I'll need a tester though since I got rid of the epic.

Are you saying that whatever VPN app you use for Tor doesn't work on Omni?

Judging by the nature of the question, I'd say he's just asking if it does, and has not tried it.
You can install the Tor application from the guardian, and yes, it works.
