SwitchMe Lets You Swap Between Multiple Android Profiles On A Single (Rooted) Device

Wouldn't it be absolutely splendid if you could hand your phone over to a friend (or complete stranger) without fear of them mucking up your system or digging into your personal bits? Yes, we'd absolutely love to see guest accounts become standard issue on all handsets, but until that day arrives, a new application called SwitchMe will work in a pinch. Word of caution, this app requires root privileges, which may deter many folks.









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.

If there's one thing that the desktop world has that Android desperately needs, it's multiple user support. A shared Windows machine or a Mac both support multiple user profiles on a single device. While this isn't that big of a deal on phones, tablet users might find it unsettling passing around a shared device tied directly to their all-knowing Google account. Enter SwitchMe, an app to help alleviate the uncertainty. This root app allows users to boot into multiple profiles within a single ROM.

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.

Strictly for rooted user only.
