Few years back (and perhaps still) it was possible to edit the build.prop on the phone version of android and set the option
fw.show_multiuserui=1
which enables multi user support on the phone.
Does anyone know if it Works on Android TV? And if so, should it work on any android tv box that can be rooted or just specific ones?
Did a google search for
fw.show_multiuserui=1
and android tv but came up empty handed.
This is the feature that I feel is missing from android tv, to be able to have separate accounts in the operating system and not rely on the apps to implement some user switching system themselves.
On Sony Bravia Android TV models, it only allows the Restricted Profile to restrict some apps so we can use it for kids or public use cases. So, having multiple profiles on Android TV has no clear use case.
