Storage Problem

My Device is Redmi Note 4 with RR OS 7.1.2 stable installed. It has latest version of Magisk..

The problem is that, When i first installed Island It was working properly.

But I installed Xiaomi Global ROM just to try the new MIUI 10..

But i installed RR OS again after being fed up with the MIUI Global ROM.

FYI i didn't make any backup of the system beforehand.

Now i installed Island again but it is not showing my Device's Storage as Shuttled as it did before..

Can you please help me out with this...

Problem creating unfreeze shortcut when switching launcher

I just started using this app and having issues in creating unfreeze shortcut, can someone suggest workaround.

Basically I can only create unfreeze shortcut on the launcher when the app was first installed to island. If I switch to a different launcher after install, I cannot add an unfreeze shortcut to the new launcher.

Eg. I'm using samsung launcher as default, then installed chrome on island. I can create unfreeze shortcut on samsung launcher just fine and shortcut added to my desktop. I then change the default launcher to Nova, try to create unfreeze shortcut for Chrome, nothing happen.

If I stick with Nova launcher as my default, uninstall Chrome in island, then reinstall in island, I can then create unfreeze shortcut on Nova desktop just fine. But if I then switch back to samsung launcher as default, now I cannot add unfreeze shortcut to saumsung launcher until I uninstall and reinstall the app in island while using saumsung launcher as my default.

Has anyone else face this issue and have a workaround?

I've used this very cool app for months. But unfortunatly bugs appeared in some apps.

First it was dropbox, the automatic upload camera didnot work anymore.

Waze did not acces to gps hardware which was ok in others apps, downgrading waze app worked but i preferred remove island.

All bugs disapeared, now i consider unlocking my bl and root.

Thanks for your help Almar, unfortunately it doesn't give me that option. I'm using a non-root device and installed Island and God Mode using ADB non-root method.

I'm getting a new device this year and just trying to enable the Backup Service (which god mode disabled) so I can backup all my apps and their settings to Google servers. I've tried a half dozen backup apps as well as PC-based mobile backup software and all seem to be blocked.

[MENTION=4376588]oasisfeng[/MENTION] is there a command to undo god mode on a non-rooted device?

Having Problem with File Shuttle

Hi. I have a problem in copying files.

I granted the permission via ADB: "pm grant com.oasisfeng.island android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS".

In island under Discovery the hint to File Shuttel is gone, so I think everything worked well.

I followed the advice and installed fx file explorer and tried to move files from and to island via "connect to storage" option in fx explorer.

Maybe I am doing something wrong, but when ever I try to write on the SD-card from inside island I get a warning "not permitted" or "internal error" from the explorer.

I destroyed Island and uninstalled the app, reinstalled everything, but the problem remains.

Can someone please explain how they set it up and how they copy files?

In older posts I read, that a button for file transfere is shown in the action bar of island app. Is this still valid? I do not see a button there.

I am on Island version 3.0.6 in God mode,

Android 8.1, Blackberrry KeyOne, nonroot (unfortunately not rootable).

Help is much appreciated.

Also have a OP5 and never had any issue's running PoGo (On Oreo and Pie) through Island but a few days ago Error code 11/ GPS signal not found started appearing and I can't get rid off it:crying:

The only thing that could possibly be causing this problem is the latest Pokemon Go update. At least I think so because that's the only factor that could've changed (updated) before it stopped working...
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Meshadieme:
Island was working properly until yesterday, now my island apps dont show up in recent apps anymore.

for example i have two copies of pokemon go running simultaneously. i cant switch between them because only the main one is visible the island one is no longer showing in the recent apps.

Im not sure what changed... maybe a pokemon go update? i dont think the island app updated at all..
[Android Apps and Games] onoakino:
Sorry if this has been asked, but is it the expected behavior of an Island app to kill itself when you leave it (for example, you chose to go to home)?

When I leave an Island app to go to Home or launch another app, the Island app would exit. It's not even available on Recents.

I'm guessing we cannot simultaneously use a mainland app and any Island app at the same time?
[Android Apps and Games] PHJN88:
What's your OS? And is gps working for you in PoGo launched trough Island?

The problem with an app launched in Island that's not showing up in recents changed for me when I updated my OS to OxygenOS 9.0.2 (Pie).
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Meshadieme:
Same problem but the app doesn't exit exactly, it seems to be hidden from recents, i can tell because when i relaunch Pokemon Go it continues where it left off without starting up.

My GPS works fine, except clone google fit not sending distance to clone pogo when closed.

Im on Android 8.0.0 Leedroid HTC 10.Nothing was changed for me when the missing from recent thing suddenly happened. Except the last pokemon go update.
[Android Apps and Games] Tumbledore:
I have been using Island for a long time, but recently my gmail in my work profile stopped syncing automatically.

With the same gmail account in the mainland-gmail app, everything is fine.

The Whatsapp Island-copy also syncs fine, so it doesn't seem to to be an issue with island itself.

Phone: Oneplys 5T running android 9.0

Removed and added the gmail account again, no change.

Anybody else have a idea?
[Android Apps and Games] jonjo2:
This app has changed my account into a work account and I cannot change it back neither can I uninstall the app. I wanted to use it to see if it would get pokemon go working on my device as it currently gives me incompatible device/OS errors when I try and use it. The issue now is that this app has converted my account into some work account rather than making some sub user account as it seems it is supposed to, not sure if that is correct or not but that's what I gather. I destroyed the island within the app and then attempted to uninstall which it will not let me because it's a device administrator and when I try and uninstall it through that the settings app just crashes every time. Also I tried removing the work account by going into settings > accounts and there was no option there. It seems that my main google account is now a work account. I searched to see if I could revert this from my desktop and could not find a solution. Now on my devices lock screen and notification drop down it says that the account is controlled by an organisation. I also tried deleting it through google's find my device service but it could not connect to my device, which now shows up twice, and also shows up incorrectly as a Xiaomi MI6 in both instances. My actual device is a OnePlus 3T running the latest version of Oxygen OS, unlocked bootloader, TWRP, magisk root. Any help solving any number of these several issues would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] arsenal74:
I’d second this , you can lock the parallel version of each app but accessing them via island bypasses this.

Feels like a pretty fundamental feature for an app like this.
[Android Apps and Games] PHJN88:
Thanks for your answer, since the gps problem apparently wasn't (like I expected) caused by the latest pogo update I looked @ some other settings and noticed that the battery optimization option in phone settings was turned off again, turning it on fixed the gps problem :)

---------- Post added at 08:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 AM ----------

Did you activate god mode? If so, deactivate it. That fixed it for me ;)
[Android Apps and Games] jonjo2:
I didn't but I solved it by letting it set up the work account again, enabling godmode, disabling it, deleting the work account and then uninstalling the app through google play. Previously it wouldn't let me uninstall it through that either, it would just say "uninstalling.." forever.

I have Facebook and Instagram installed in Island and removed from Mainland. Added them to Greenify for auto hibernation but they won't hibernate saying they're being used in my work profile. Is this by design or a bug since this is beta? I want them Frozen on screen off since they're battery hogs.

Looks like default, normal and shallow hibernation work except for deep hibernation (freezing).

Should I move this to Greenify forum? Applies to both so not sure where to post this.

Hello,

I installed Island on my phone and its working perfectly. I have one question though. My phone is encrypted so when I go to the recovery (TWRP) I have to enter my pin. All data is then decrypted, except for some folder which are used by the second user created by Island. Because of this, I can't make backups in TWRP.

I hope someone has a solution for this. I tried formatting my phone in TWRP and the reinstalling the ROM so that I have no encryption on my phone, but the ROM itself (LineageOS) seems to force encryption.

Thanks in advance.

Island App directory

I just want to ask if anyone here knows the exact directory location of the apps you install in Island's Work Profile is? I already tried looking for it in my internal storage but couldn't find it. The apps on my work profile doesn't seem to appear in Internal Storage/Android/data so I'm guessing it is somewhere else.

It would be real helpful if someone can provide me this information.

I would just like to leave a tip for people who are using greenify and island to freeze apps and defreeze with a shortcut and for some reason want to uninstall the island app. PLEASE dont do what I did and delete island before deleting the deepfreeze settings in Greenify app for each app and then deleting them from monitored apps in greenify. Or you will send your apps to the phone's BERMUDA TRIANGLE and never find it again. Not with SDmaid and not with Titanium backup. I could only find them with icebox app (which island dev himself recommends in island). But only to uninstall them. Not even launching them is possible.

You probably can't if your bootloader is locked. You will have to edit the boot.img and in sbin replace adbd with another adbd file that can allow for adb to run as root. That's just one step of many.

Are apps like island and shelter like virtual boxes?
[Android Apps and Games] SnowFuhrer:
Island isn't. It uses Android's built in work profile to install apps in a sandbox. I do not know about shelter though.
[Android Apps and Games] kewinhw:
Okey I think shelter does the same. But is it correct to say that island apps are using a "different drive" what happens if you download a file with for example island Chrome? Will regular file Manager be able to see it or only the island file manager? I tried in shelter and it only showed the downloaded file in the same profile
[Android Apps and Games] SnowFuhrer:
Yes, just the profile you download it in can see it. (Like you said). I don't know how it does it so only one profile can see it's own stuff. It doesn't create another partition I don't think because they share the same storage.e.g. you install another app and storage amount available for each side (mainland and island) shrinks.

Is it possible to root main land without affecting island profiles?

So i want to root and exposed my main land, but not for island, so island apps can't detect any root installed.
[Android Apps and Games] SnowFuhrer:
I think only if you are rooted.

There is a file manager that does it but I don't remember what it is called. There is a menu in island that talks about it.

I don't think so. You could root with magisk and if you do it right, apps shouldn't detect it. However, xposed is basically impossible to hide.

I'm having some problems on my Redmi note 4 with MIUI 10 global 8.12.20 beta.

I've been using dual apps (native miui cloning feature) and island to have 3 instances of the same app on my phone for some months now, without any trouble at all. A couple days ago a new version of this app (pokemon go) came out but then I wanted to downgrade it to a previous version (the reason isn't relevant). To do this successfully I had to remove it from island and dual apps and uninstall it from my system so I could install the apk version I wanted. I couldn't remove it from island without wiping out the entire island, since I didn't have any other cloned apps in island I did that. After this I tried to setup island again and dual apps, just like I had before and now I've run into the problem that it seems I need to either chose between having native dual apps or island, I can't have both, apparently because Island and dual apps try to use the same User. I tried to manually setup island trough adb, but I can't create the user. Manually removing the 999 user from adb allows me to setup Island correctly, but then dual apps fails saying it can't clone google play services app.

It was very convenient for me to have 3 instances of the same app, I know it works on MIUI 10 because I had it until a couple days ago and I haven't updated my MIUI software, so it should definitely be a way to make both work. My last resort is to wipe the phone and start over and see if I that works, but I'd prefer to find a better solution. Thanks.
