More about this app

Standalone Android multi-user manager to create, switch and delete user profiles with custom photos.

Youki Users

A standalone Android multi-user manager, split out of YoukiDex.

Features

List users (ID, "You" and "Active" badges)
Create a new user with a photo (still image or GIF) — the photo is optional
Change the photo of any existing user
Switch between users and delete them (the primary user, ID 0, is protected)
Works through Shizuku (primary) or root (fallback)
Photos are shown inside the app; with root the app also sets the system user icon
English and Arabic UI, light/dark, dynamic colors

What was removed from YoukiDex

App cloning into the new user (pm install-existing for the app and for Shizuku)
Automatic permission granting (WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS, notifications, media, ...)
Enabling the accessibility service, notification listener and device admin
Everything unrelated to users (dock, launcher, wallpapers, plugins, cast, ...)

Creating a user is now just pm create-user plus setting the photo.

Build

Open the folder in Android Studio (JDK 17), or run:

./gradlew assembleDebug

Then install the APK, start Shizuku, and grant the app permission.

Photos

The photo is always saved inside the app and shown in the user list. This is all you get with Shizuku.
With root (su), the app additionally sets the photo as the system user icon (Settings / lock screen) as a silent best-effort step, using a tiny helper (RootIconRunner) started through su + app_process.
Shizuku is deliberately not used to change the system icon: the adb/shell user lacks MANAGE_USERS on many devices, which only produced long confusing errors.
The app only shows a short "Photo saved" message. Any root failure is written to logcat (tag YoukiUsers), not shown on screen.
A GIF animates inside the app; the system icon (root only) uses its first frame.

How Shizuku is used

Can create, list, switch and delete Android 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

Shizuku provides the privileged shell access the app uses to manage Android user profiles. All operations run as the shell user through Shizuku, so the app itself needs no extra permissions.

List user profiles: shows all device users and their running state by reading the output of the pm list users shell command through Shizuku.
Create user profiles: creates a new user with the name typed in the app using the pm create-user shell command through Shizuku.
Switch active user: switches the device to the selected user with the am switch-user shell command through Shizuku.
Delete user profiles: removes the selected user profile with the pm remove-user shell command through Shizuku.
