Multi User & Lock screen

[adrenalize]

Hi, I know I might be in the minority but the use of the Android 4.2 multi user would be really handy for me as I use the X7 with a touchscreen in the kitchen and several people use it.

OK - so I've tried the following in terminal having mounted the filesystem as R/W:

su
pm get-max-users
This shows the current max users as 1

setprop fw.max_users 4
Now pm get-max-users shows 4 - so far so good.

pm create-user Fred

At this point the X7 seemed to do a 'soft' reboot and then brought me to the lock screen with two users.

I can then unlock the new user and I'm in a different profile. Also in the settings menu there is the "Users" option which you can enter and see the users etc.

Problem 1 - Persistence If I reboot the X7 the Users setting has gone and the max users is back to 1 - does anyone know where I can put the fw.max_users to make it persistent? build.prop? - if so in which section? So once rebooted I can never get back to the other user - however if I setprop to more users again the Users menu is back and I can see the other user is still set up - but I can't change users (need lock screen!).

Problem 2 - Lock screen - I think the only way to change users is with the lock screen which is not enabled in the X7. Does anyone know if it can be easily enabled? I think I read in an X5 custom ROM someone enabled it but they had to do a fair bit of work.

Any suggestions appreciated.

I am also interested in multiuser

I have kids at home, so a dummy user for them to play would be appreciated.

The nexus rom for minix x7 have also Multi User & Lock screen enabled.
