Requirements

Shizuku installed and running, with permission granted to User-Hopper.
For Digital Legacy mode, a supported Samsung Galaxy phone with the Digital Legacy feature.

Usage

Guest mode

Main Screen 1	Main Screen 2	Guest Screen

Start Shizuku and open User-Hopper. Grant the requested Shizuku permission.
Tap Create Guest User to create a guest user.
Tap Install Shizuku and Install Manager to install both apps into the guest user.
Tap Start Guest to switch to the guest user.
To return to the owner user, open User-Hopper inside the guest user and tap Exit Guest.

Digital Legacy mode

Main Screen 1	Main Screen 2	Digital Legacy Screen

Start Shizuku and open User-Hopper. Grant the requested Shizuku permission.
Tap Create Digital Legacy User to open the Digital Legacy app's information page.
Open the Digital Legacy settings and tap the Digital Legacy request button to create the user and switch to it.
User-Hopper detects the new user, disables the Digital Legacy feature within that user, and installs Shizuku and User-Hopper automatically.
To return to the owner user, open User-Hopper inside the secondary user and tap Exit.

Important notes

General

You may get stuck in the secondary user. On devices that do not officially support switching between secondary users, you may be unable to return to the owner user if Shizuku stops running or User-Hopper is uninstalled. Make sure Shizuku is running and User-Hopper has permission in the secondary user before switching. If Shizuku stops, you may need to use USB debugging to switch users or restart the device. Restarting may cause unsaved data in the owner user to be lost.
Use this project at your own risk. This project is not affiliated with Samsung or Google.

Guest mode

Do not reset the guest session when prompted by the system after switching to the guest user. Resetting the session may remove Shizuku and User-Hopper from the guest user. On devices without a user-switching toggle, this may leave you unable to return to the owner user.

Digital Legacy mode

Use this mode only if you understand the implications of using Samsung's Digital Legacy feature for this purpose. The feature is intended to securely transfer a deceased person's phone data, such as contacts and notes stored in Samsung Cloud, to a designated Legacy Contact. If you actually need the Digital Legacy feature, delete the secondary user created for this purpose and submit the request directly through Settings.
If you submit a Digital Legacy request directly through Settings instead of User-Hopper, the normal Digital Legacy interface is displayed. When you start the user through User-Hopper, the Digital Legacy feature is disabled within that user so it can be used like a regular secondary user.
Digital Legacy mode is not supported on Samsung Galaxy tablets or devices from other manufacturers.

How it works

User-Hopper executes standard Android shell commands through Shizuku.

Action	Shell command
Create guest user	`pm create-user --guest Guest`
Install an existing app into a user	`pm install-existing --user <id> <package>`
Start / exit a user	`am switch-user <id>`
End a user's session	`am stop-user -w -f <id>`
Delete a user	`pm remove-user <id>`
Disable / enable Digital Legacy	`pm disable-user --user <id>` / `pm enable --user <id>`
Detect users and sessions	`pm list users`

Troubleshooting

A button is disabled: The action may not be available in the current state. For example, the Start button is disabled when you are already inside the secondary user. Tap the Refresh button in the upper-right corner.
Shizuku errors: Make sure Shizuku is running and permission has been granted. Failed commands are logged at <device storage>/Documents/UserHopper/command_log.txt.
Exit is disabled inside the secondary user: Shizuku may not be running in that user, or User-Hopper may not have Shizuku permission.

How Shizuku is used

Can create, switch, stop and delete guest users via `pm` and `am` shell commands through Shizuku.

This is an AI-assisted analysis of Shizuku-related usages in the app's public source code. It is best effort, so it may not catch every single usage.

How this app uses Shizuku

User Hopper uses Shizuku to run privileged user and package commands that manage guest users on devices where the maker disabled multi-user support.

Create guest user: creates a new guest profile with the pm create-user --guest shell command through Shizuku.
Detect guest users: lists profiles and checks whether the guest session is running with the pm list users shell command through Shizuku.
Install apps in guest: makes Shizuku and User Hopper itself available inside the guest profile with the pm list packages and pm install-existing shell commands through Shizuku.
Start and exit guest: switches the foreground user into the guest profile and back to the owner profile with the am switch-user and am get-current-user shell commands through Shizuku, including enabling and disabling a companion package with pm enable and pm disable-user as part of the switch.
Stop guest session: terminates the running guest session with the am stop-user shell command through Shizuku.
Delete guest user: removes the guest profile with the pm remove-user shell command through Shizuku.
