1. Working on a possible solution, planned to be included in version 2.1.

2. That's a known issue (bug) in Nexus/Pixel stock launcher. They are not uninstalled actually, 3rd-party launcher (e.g. Nova Launcher) has no such issue.

3. I'm not sure how it went inside that app. Please try installing it in a regular secondary user, to check if it supports multi-user of Android properly.

4. It's not supposed to be hidden, since they works like two separate apps. If you don't need the one outside Island, just uninstall it outside.

5. I'm still working on this possibility, but Android framework itself may not be ready for multiple profiles.
[Android Apps and Games] ermeda:
Hi,

can you please help me in finding "Google Contact Sync", would like to clone to sync contact to my cloned Whatsapp but not able to find in Mainland, also looked for the ID (com.google.android.syncadapters.contacts)

Thanks

EDITED: Nevermind found, my fault :(
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
Sharing is supported across the Island, just select "Work Profile" / "Owner User" in the sharing dialog.
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
No. Island only isolates user-related data access.
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
I'm not sure what is going on in your case. Could you post or send me the logcat around the failure?
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
Thanks for the suggestion, Tasker plug-ins will be supported. All the options are being considered.
[Android Apps and Games] ebautista:
That is my problem. It is not shown in logcat.
[Android Apps and Games] G4 Man2:
Considering that the missing icon issue only occurs when island user applications have been frozen, I assume that a way to workaround the issue is to convert the island user applications to system applications? Is that possible?
[Android Apps and Games] yossijoe:
you can only convert user applications to system if you have root
[Android Apps and Games] kruga:
Possible internet data leak.

I tried Island on my encrypted but unrooted LG G4 with MM. I am also using Netguard with ad blocker on both the Main system as well as Island.

While Island largely works fine, but MX Player (installed only on Main) managed to bypass the Netguard firewall. I disabled Internet access for all apps (user + system) on both Main and Island profile and still ads appeared in MX Player. After I uninstalled Island, MX PLayer was no longer able to access the net, but reappeared again after using Island.

Any solution on how to prevent this?
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
Could you please check whether "download" related system apps are frozen? You need to check the "show hidden system apps" option in main menu.
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
Make sure the VPN service of your ad-blocker is activated in Island. The "key" icon in quick settings panel cannot differentiate which VPN service is currently activated, click it will tell the detail.

BTW, I'm not sure whether Netguard is designed with multi-user mechanism in mind. If possible, please contact the developer of that app to ask about multi-user support.
[Android Apps and Games] 10goto10:
Great work once again Oasis Feng :good:. With Android 7 quick toggles for work mode I don't even need auto hibernation, I just toggle it when I need access to inessential apps :)

Just one thing I've noticed though. When restoring an app from Titanium Backup, the app gets duplicated in the island too, so I have to manually uninstall it from the work profile. Tried messing around with the data profiles and other options on TiBak, but no dice. Have anyone encountered this bug? Does the fault lie within Titanium or perhaps Island?

Installing apps from the play store works as expected btw.
[Android Apps and Games] thenoname:
After I install it, I get "Setup is complete, please wait for the island to start." but then nothing happens.

I've had the app installed before and it's worked great, but now all of a sudden I'm having issues? Anything I should try?
[Android Apps and Games] bnwg:
I also encounter this duplicated issue when restoring from TiBak. It happened to me in random manner. But most of the time it duplicated.
[Android Apps and Games] bizzared:
Does prescription of greenify works with apps inside the island?

If an app inside the island is hibernated(disabled) then enabled, its AppOps settings will be reset to default. I understand this might be by design of the managed profile mechanism, however, have the latest island 2.0 beta5 done something to mitigate this issue?
[Android Apps and Games] kruga:
Yep, VPN was active. I used other apps and they were not getting data, and I was using MX Player on my Main.

Anyway, I think LG G4 (MM) doesn't work well with Island. Unfortunately my device went into a boot loop, even in safe mode :( Had to do a factory reset.
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
Prescription of Greenify applies to all users on the devices, including Island.

I cannot reproduce the AppOps settings loss issue on my Nexus devices, could you explanation this issue in details?
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
VPN service only applies to apps running in the same user. (Island is considered as a separate user)

Sorry to hear that. Did you setup Island on your G4 with the in-app step by step guide, or manually via ADB?
[Android Apps and Games] kruga:
Yep, I had Netguard installed on both, Main and Island with the exact same settings.

I didn't use ADB as my device was already encrypted. It worked the first time (except for the data leak), I un-installed and re-installed (for checking and trying to find the issue) and after that the boot loop started. Tried safe mode, but the boot loop were endless and there didn't seem an option except for doing a factory reset.
[Android Apps and Games] ebautista:
I am again having problem with sharing files in island, even within the island. I really cannot find it in log. But I got the screenshot. I am using stock oxygen OS 4.1. anyone having the same issue? I already set the permission, app usage and device administrator but still no go.
[Android Apps and Games] ebautista:
I attached the log
[Android Apps and Games] thenoname:
Are there any logs or anything else I should collect to try to troubleshoot this?
[Android Apps and Games] djibril13:
Same behavior on Nexus 5X after March update.
[Android Apps and Games] thenoname:
That makes sense... I'm on a Nexus 6P
[Android Apps and Games] thenoname:
I found a workaround: Install the app using adb and the commands in the second post
[Android Apps and Games] ebautista:
Biggest problem ever. Island app cannot initialize anymore after reflashing my device. It just create a blank work profile in Accounts settings. And always create new profile when I open island app. After that it just crashes. See the logs below. Tried 4x already with 2 different Roms. But still same.
[Android Apps and Games] thenoname:
I'm having the same problem. Loading it using the method I'm the second post with adb worked.... It's not the best way, but it's a workaround for now.
[Android Apps and Games] savvymatthew:
Is it possible to use Titanium Backup to restore data for just the work space Island app. In my case snapchat, because I can't login on my phone ( root/ safety checks).?
[Android Apps and Games] Jamesits:
Device: Nexus 5x

OS: Stock Android 7.1.1 N4F26T (2017.3), w/Magisk (have Magisk root, SafetyNet pass)

2 problems:

1. Island can't finish creating work profile -- this have been reported a lot. Manual installation worked for me. This happens with and without device encryption, I've tried both.

2. Cannot directly install apks in work profile. (APK installer says app from unknown source is not allowed, but there is no option for this.) `pm install` can install app in both outside and inside work profile.

(Encryption ruined my userdata... I have to reset my device :(
[Android Apps and Games] djibril13:
My device is encrypted. Is it possible to affect the procedure?
[Android Apps and Games] joj_cvs:
Can't manually override

I can't manually override my non-ecrypted device. Its appears like this:

'pm' is not recognized as an internal or external command, opearable program or batch file.

How to fix that? Please help me!
[Android Apps and Games] hadi_rena:
Did you issues pm commands after adb shell commands? That error message seems related to common cmd error message.

In Windows cmd:

1. adb shell

2. pm ..... (Follow instructions on post #2)

Note: if the commands start with 'adb shell' that's mean you should execute that command from Windows cmd, if you inside android shell just type 'quit'
[Android Apps and Games] djibril13:
Installed beta 2 version and creation of work profile works again on March update through the app. After that installed the newest version of island from the play store and everything works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] thenoname:
How did you get beta 2 to install? When I try I get "package is corrupt"

Edit: Nevermind, I had to fully Uninstall beta 5 and then it let me install beta 2. They must be signed with different keys?
[Android Apps and Games] supermario3:
I am on the latest google play beta, LG v10 with Marshmallow 6.0, no root.

I can't destroy the island, If i click on "destroy" and I give ok, nothing happens

edit

Fixed it by removing the island from android settings - account
[Android Apps and Games] nAFutro:
Got it working on a Nexus 4 with PureNexus 7.1.1 after using the commands in the second post in a terminal on my phobe. Installation through the app didn't work but maybe that's​ because my device is not encrypted.

It took a minute or two, three before the island app was working after that.

Cool work oasisfeng
[Android Apps and Games] andMego:
How do I greenify apps in the island? Whenever I try it says "you're using this app in your work profile" and in greenify every app says by it "delegated to island".
[Android Apps and Games] andMego:
What now?
[Android Apps and Games] Explorare:
You you find the app in Island is added to the Greenify list.
[Android Apps and Games] andMego:
Did you watch the attachment? It's a GIF, not a picture. Press it to watch it. I added apps to the greenify list and they don't get hibernated, no matter what I do or how long I wait.
[Android Apps and Games] Explorare:
That's strange. This function worked on my phone, Greenify 3.2.2 without root, Island 2.0 b5. Bug?
[Android Apps and Games] andMego:
Hmm. So I reinstalled greenify and now it managed to hibernate everything, and made my phone start bootlooping. Happened twice. (it booted fine just 30 seconds in it restarted. Ad Infiniti). First time I deleted the work profile. Second time I managed to unfreeze a bunch of the things I froze in the island and it stopped looping. The second and third time I set up the island (second time never stabilized) it wouldn't work without the adb stuff. (the first time I just gave it root and it worked fine). This is on a BLU R1 HD with stock rooted marshmallow.
[Android Apps and Games] bnwg:
If you are rooted then you may want to try the following.

- enable multi user from supersu

- add greenify in island

- add apps in greenify from island

Should be good to go. It works for me at least.

I also leverage tasker to hibernate apps

(Display off & no call -> greenify plugin (hibernate all greenified app))
[Android Apps and Games] andMego:
I tried earlier but I just get this message
[Android Apps and Games] bnwg:
Sorry my bad. I haven't tried for the latest veriosn of island. It can add greenify and worked in the older bulid.

Then the only way to hibernate the app inside island is to use the hibernate function from island.
[Android Apps and Games] enga018:
one thing i want to share. my app drawers arr empty while i used pixel. try to solve in many ways..and i found out it was because of island..after i uninstalled this..the problem still occurs..i re-install and from the app itself.

i clear the data, thus removing 'island with suitcase' from app list. and notification comes..work profile deleted. and now my app drawer have apps again
[Android Apps and Games] andMego:
That is a problem with google, not island. Use a different launcher like Nova and it will work fine.
[Android Apps and Games] enga018:
trebucher launcher dont show nothing..just like pixel
[Android Apps and Games] andMego:
Use Nova launcher and life will be good. Some launchers just aren't built properly.
[Android Apps and Games] enga018:
ok..i'l try next timw when island publish version out. not now.
[Android Apps and Games] 2vg:
Hi,

how to backup clone apps ?

Titanium Backup possible ?
[Android Apps and Games] andMego:
I'm not sure if it works but you would for sure need to enable multi user in SuperSU and clone titanium backup to the island.
[Android Apps and Games] lletempsdestroyerultime:
Hi,..

Great app but without anonymity and disallow location access, the app never leaves the confines of Hide, Clone, Parallel accounts as to how it is going to be used. You can isolate an app in the Island so the app, at worst case an app with an evil master somewhere else, is limited to the meager basic data/info it can use/get/transmit on the island, but the app knows where it is location-wise right? So this limits the use of the app. Your location will be known during video calling, chat. Don't get me wrong, it's the greatest app in that it limits or prevents info of the user from being taken except location plus a few more tech info that will be known. But it could do so much much more if the location can also be prevented from being accessed. It also seems that due to the meager info available that can be taken while on the Island, that the location info would surely loom large like the title of a movie poster you're looking at outside the cinema, in capital letters.

1. Is there a possibility to use a vpn service that won't glide back to Mainland every time even if you set it up on the Island? It always glides back to Mainland.

2. Though now it is possible to have two vpns up on Mainland, Is this really happening? If it is, well and good.

3. It would be also be great if apps in Mainland can't get to the island. If this is so, then the Island can be the Data Repository. Or a reverse-use of the concept in that all important data will be put on the Island, isolated from the Mainland where the evil apps roam.... among us.

3. It would really be a so much greater app if Location cannot be accessed and even Anonymity can be secured while on the Island. This would leave those naughty apps with almost nothing but that ball named Wilson and that is good.

Sincerely,
[Android Apps and Games] fusionboar:
[MENTION=4376588]oasisfeng[/MENTION], this is great app! Thank you for building it!

My apologies if there's already an answer to this question, althoughI haven't been able to find it...

When I launch an app that's cloned to an island, the app runs fine but if the app has a setting to change the location where it saves data to, it only shows the internal storage. This happens with apps like Xiami, iQiyi, and Duokan. Those apps don't seem to see the SD card at all.

Is there any permission I need to set?

Thank!
[Android Apps and Games] santo_007:
After installing island app and cloning an app. All the newly installed apps are automatically cloning in to island how to prevent this
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
I'm afraid that's a limitation enforced by Android for Work. If the apps support the "document provider" mechanism in newer version of Android, they may access the removable storage in a future version of Island.
[Android Apps and Games] Racle90:
Got same problem. Stock nexus 6p, 7.1.1. I probably need to do manual installation
[Android Apps and Games] MrMarques01:
Chipping in to report the same issue on my Nexus 6p, Pure Nexus Rom, March security update
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
In which way you install the new app? Google Play Store or side-loading?

In my experience, only the app installation via ADB appears to have it installed in all users (Island space is a special user). That's the default behavior of adb install.

But other than that, I'm not aware of such issue. Is it a new issue after system OTA?
[Android Apps and Games] santo_007:
No I got this problem both on stock motog3(6.0.1) and los(14.1).I tried manual installation. But I don't know how it is cloning every new app to island

The island not working.

[Android Apps and Games] uccoffee.forum:
hi, i just wonder is that normal that I cannot get the ISLAND to work on my rooted note 4?

It kept saying " The security policy prevents the creation of a work profile because a custom OS has been installed on this device"

Is there any work around that?

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] squabbi:
Yeah it was working on the march update but after 7.1.2 it doesn't do anything after setting up the work profile as in Island doesn't launch.

edit: After following the manual instructions for 6.0+, the work profile works but Island lagged out showing only a white app screen. Closing from recents and starting island (via the app) showed the app list now.
[Android Apps and Games] youling257:
work profile isn't available yet
[Android Apps and Games] squabbi:
Try the manual steps using the shell or ADB shell. It worked for me when the work profile didn't automatically open itself.

Be sure to remove the work profile first in that settings page and try the manual steps.
[Android Apps and Games] youling257:

[Android Apps and Games] squabbi:
Whats the catlog showing? Perhaps you need to filter it down a little.

I'm no Dev so I couldn't really interpret it, you'll need to leave that up to OP. But have you tried the steps in the 2nd post?
[Android Apps and Games] youling257:
pm create-user --profileOf 0 --managed Island

Success: created user id 12

but still work profile isn't available yet
[Android Apps and Games] squabbi:
Not just the first one.. like all of them. Once I did those it worked for me.

Edit: as you can see it's supposed to start up Island as the last command. Also, be sure the remove the existing work profile that isn't available yet.
[Android Apps and Games] closedcircuit:
Confirmed the same thing is happening to me on the latest April 5th security patch OP3T, Island just doesn't want to work. Interesting thing to note when going through the setup process after "Setting up the work profile" and displaying the toast "Setup is complete wait for your island to start", it'll immediately activate the Do not disturb function.
[Android Apps and Games] squabbi:
Even after removing the profile made via Settings > Accounts and going throught the manual steps in post #2?
[Android Apps and Games] closedcircuit:
My mistake. I missed the part where you removed the brackets outside of the <user id>.
[Android Apps and Games] dujbo:
So am I!
[Android Apps and Games] squabbi:
One thing, is Island enabled for device administration? I think that solved it for me.

Otherwise, follow the steps in the 2nd post after removing the work profile.
[Android Apps and Games] Lossyx:
My work profile apps disappears (of I have it open) from recent lost whenever I go home and recent apps. Very annoying, am I the only one?

Using 7.1.2 with command version.

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] squabbi:
That happened to me too. You can try this, but you'll need to set up your work profile again.

Go to Settings > Security > Device administrators and make sure Island (not the work profile one) is checked to be a device administrator.

Go back to Island and then go to the 3-dot menu > settings > setup and shutdown and press the bin icon next to the managed (work) profile.

Then set up the work profile again using Island the app and not the ADB commands and it should work this time.
[Android Apps and Games] dujbo:
Even I enable device administrator,the island also show the same error message.

I am very disappointed.
[Android Apps and Games] Lossyx:
Doesn't work .only command version works, or at least I think. Everytime I execute the last command "am start com.oasisfeng.island﻿" I get this output. don't know if it supposed to show that or..
[Android Apps and Games] oglop:
right now, freezing apps in island is manual ? In island if I click the green leaf greenify icon, Greenify opens but shows the app status as "Delegated to island", and is not hibernating those apps.

Hi one question I was uninstall island but this was remain how to remove and this?

EDIT: Sorry for this ok I was found it
[Android Apps and Games] Zarou:
First of all, thank you Oasisfeng for the great work. :D

Now, I do have a few questions regarding this app. After I set it up, there were already several apps on my island : Contacts, Download Manager, Google Play and UI System. While I can disable Google Play from settings, there is no way for me to remove the others from the island, meaning that every app I clone there have access to my contacts. Is there a way to prevent this ?

Also, I noticed that, while I can grant or remove access permissions to cloned apps, I can't do anything about data permissions. Is this because they share the same as the original apps ? What if I uninstall them and only keep the cloned ones then ?

Last but not least, let's suppose I clone an app which need to interact with others like Titanium backup and uninstall the original. Will the clone still be able to furfill the app purpose, meaning saving other apps, while not being on the same "land" ? This makes me wonder about root, like, do the apps on the island need a cloned superuser app among them to get root access ?

Thank you for your time and your answers. :)
[Android Apps and Games] DeKiesel:
Island says it doesn't work with managed devices. I think I get that message because I am using "Secure Task". Anyway to make the two play together?

I have a question I was hoping somone might be able to help me with. I installed this app yesterday. Today I went to make new acounts with a couple diffrent websites. All of them including this one told me my emails were not valid. I had to make a new one just to register. Now some of those same sites are telling me this email is not valid. Could this be caused by the island app?

I installed this app a while ago on my S7 to try it out, it worked but then I uninstalled it and now im trying to reinstall it but after setting up island the work profile is never accessible. Using non-rooted s7 7.0.

Hello!

I have a Xiaomi Redmi 3S, with Android 6.0.1. I tried this app, because I was curious, how different it is from Dual Apps (similar function, but system built-in in MIUI). My problem is, that I'm not sure, that I uninstalled this app fully.

I set it up via ADB, because the in-app setting up not worked. Before uninstalling app, I deleted the Island from app and I got a notification that work profile has been deleted. After this I uninstalled this app and rebooted the device. Now I just ran the following command in ADB: adb shell pm list users

The result is:

"Users:

UserInfo{0: Owner:13} running

UserInfo{999:XSpace:800010} running"

This XSpace profile is related to this app?
