I am using the Moto g 4 play. I use greenify and I'm unrooted. Island states that there is risk of bricking phones. Is this on rooted or unrooted devices. Can you brick an unrooted device or put an unrooted device in bootloop? It's the only reason I've not installed. Can anyone answer? Thank you

Uninstall Island

After actived God mode can i uninstall island without any command in adb shell? Its possible to bootloop/brick? My phone its non root
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
If your device model is popular, it will not brick your device. (no such reports from users yet)

But if your device model is rare on the market, I cannot say for sure, since reports from rare models generally cannot be expected.

Your device must be compatible with Android for Work for Island to work properly, this compatibility requirement may not be met on devices not passing the CTS tests. (common among OEMs in China)
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
You should first deactivate God mode in Island - Settings - Setup, before uninstallation.

It's generally not possible to uninstall Island without deactivation.
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
This issue will be fixed in the upcoming version. It affects some of the Android 8.0 devices.

Have you run adb -d shell before first command?

-In system “Settings - Permissions - Autostart”, enable “Island”. (grant auto-start permission

[Android Apps and Games] keepsome:
Anyway, is it still possible to seperate VPN service for each side? I would like to have 2 different VPN connection in and out of Island. However, with VpnDialogs frozen in Island and VPN connection started in each side, the connection made first will work for both sides, and if i stop this side, there is no connection at all in both sides. It worked flawlessly with different VPN connections in both sides. And it's working fine with VpnDialogs frozen and only one VPN connection. So is it the way you think it should be? Or am i doing something wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] Droidphilev:
Hello,

Strange:

-Cloned an app.

-Uninstalled the original one so that only the one inside the island is there)

-Destroyed the island and got the warning that this app is only installed inside and that it will be lost.

-made a new island. The app that was uninstalled (outside) and destroyed (inside) is shown inside the new island as a non cloned app. In device settings this app is shown as installed with size 0,0 mb while my launcher did not showed it anymore.

After a minute or so it disappeared from settings and inside the new island. Is this some kind of cache thing?

(Thanks for the nice idea btw!!!)
[Android Apps and Games] Droidphilev:
Hi,

-I installed few apps that read device ID's. Things like IMEI, IMSI etc are still seen by these apps. Any way to hide this all?

- It seems that apps inside the sandbox still can see if a device is rooted and can also see other apps. Any way to hide this things?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] bnwg:
I have been testing island and found that it's quite stable. It works as it states in OP. The app stays inside island and can sustain reboot even the app outside island is uninstalled.

One thing that I found out is whenever new app is installed island will automatically create a cloned one inside island by itself. I tested island with ASOP ROM and custom touchwiz ROM by activating island manually. This just happened with custom touchwiz ROM. Not sure it's because of custom touchwiz ROM or manual activation.

The other thing I would really like to get help is to know where I can find the data of the app inside island. I'm thinking to use island for my work account. So knowing the location of the data for the app inside island will be important for me. I hope OP could guide me thru for this. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
I'm not sure whether the VPN app in your case supports multi-user mode in Android correctly. In my tests, ShadowSocks works perfectly with system app VpnDialogs enabled. Each side works completely separated, with traffic pass-through if VPN is not activated, no matter whether VPN is activated in the other side.
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
It's probably due to destroying under way. The actual destroying procedure takes some time to finish. There is a notification on Android 6.0+ when it's finished.
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
Currently Island does not block any device-bound data access due to the design aspect of Android multi-users mechanism. I'll try to explore the potential solution for that.

Apps in sandbox can only find other apps within, but not the apps outside.

Root is a global state, which could not be isolated technically.
[Android Apps and Games] Droidphilev:
Thank you for answering. About root: and the opposite? would it be possible to have root inside the island only?
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
Sorry, that's impossible in the current architecture of Android OS.
[Android Apps and Games] keepsome:
Thank you for your reply. I am using shadowsocks and it worked fine seperately. My ROM is moto x style stock without any big change since first Island installation except app updates. However, after enabling Vpndialogs as mentioned, it still doesn't work. I destroyed and re-created island several times without any noticible change. With both sides shadowsocks on, only the first one would work.

Anyway to track the problem, please?

After installing Island and manually creating the work profile on a Samsung S6 Edge device, is it possible to remove Contacts and Google Play from the list? They appear to be Active and Critical, but i dn't really need a work profile. It was created because of restrictions imposed by Samsung. The thing is that i am afraid to remove them because it might impact my original apps.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] bnwg:
You can't remove clone system apps in island but you can disable them.

Didn't affect the original apps in mainland. They are totally separated.

In fact if you didn't login google account in island it didn't do anything.

Iam requesting the following futures

1. Installing app directly to island without cloning it into island and removing it from mainland

Doubt:

You said that apps which are installed into island are automatically killed once we switched back to mainland.

But then why option of freezing is there as they are automatically killed

[Android Apps and Games] jcu:
So the app installed/cloned in the "Island" can't access data outside the sandbox. But can the app installed in the "Island" able to figure out what app installed outside the "Island"?

Also, when running the app installed inside the "Island", can that app figure out what other apps (outside the "Island") was installed/running at the same time (like checking for which app is use as default dialer or app that is currently drawing over other app, etc)?

Meaning is it true that any app installed outside the "Island" in the device is totally hidden from an app installed inside the "Island"?
[Android Apps and Games] xNotta:
I used this app to test if apps inside of island could see the apps on the mainland.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=itgeeks.fullsysteminfo

Scroll all the way to the right tab that says apps.

It was only able to see the other apps installed inside of island and didn't list any of my mainland apps.

Any newly installed system apps installed to the mainland are added to island automatically.
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
Direct app installation is on my list of planned features. At present, you can use browser or file manager inside Island to install app directly.

What do you mean by "automatically killed once we switched back to mainland"? Island has no automation features built-in, you can use Greenify to auto-freeze apps.

Noob questions. I am on a Samsung S7 (no root) and I installed the app from the Google Play store. It created a "Work" folder.

Q1: How do I "clone" the moviepass application to it. When I do the Add application, it appears like a shortcut to the mainland app not a clone. i.e I want to sign in as two different users.

Ans: See https://www.gtricks.com/android/clone-apps/ and/or take a look at this youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJjQq94LTMU

Q2: How do I add an extra Island? I want to create a Island for my wife and kid.

Thanks a bunch

Looking forward to see updates, will support the dev!

no, you cannot remove those preinstalled apps

[Android Apps and Games] xringo:
Dont think its advised to remove the extra chrome, playstore. I couldn't uninstall, so I disabled the app and gave me a yellow notification saying its needed and its critical for island to work.
[Android Apps and Games] Taracair:
And it works the same way as freezing and unfreezing?
[Android Apps and Games] Sytis:
It only works with Island set up correctly. It's a cross app features which requires both apps by OasisFeng: Island for the freezing itself and Greenify for selective automation.
