SwitchMe - Secure Multi User Login and Lockscreen Replacement

Another Android first from Fahrbot Mobile


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.

Now users can also log on and off their accounts directly from the keyguard or lock screen. The application can also protect you after a reboot for extra security.


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.
E-reading - whenever you want to read on your tablet but dont want any notifications or need any connectivity, just switch to an ereader profile.
Testing - if you are a developer, you can use profiles as clean sandboxes to test your applications and their interaction with the system.

Now, its very important that we get some feedback on how this big new feature works, so please read up on it in the help and post your thoughts!
 
Wow! This is really a great idea! Bought pro straight away!

And to the noob above - it will never happen. Just root your device and stop being a pansy :)
 
Lol
Everyone keeps telling me I should but no one can tell what the plus side to doing it is besides a different UI. I don't mind this UI.

I am realizing that some of the cooler apps are for rooted phones. Looking for that one app that will make me want to root my phone.
