Hi Guys,

I am trying to get god (or demigod mode) working on a Xperia XZ1c.

I'm stuck at entering the command :

$ dpm set-device-owner com.oasisfeng.island/.IslandDeviceAdminReceiver

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Not allowed to set the profile owner because there are already some accounts on the profile.....

$ pm list users

Users:

UserInfo{0:Owner:13} running

$ dumpsys account|grep -A 3 Accounts:

Accounts: 1

Account {name=Phone contacts, type=com.sonyericsson.localcontacts}

AccountId, Action_Type, timestamp, UID, TableName, Key

So only the main account is running but there is the 'hidden' phone contacts account. I've searched for hours but cannot find out what I need to do to fix it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I have an issue with falsely enabled parental controls of the Play Store inside Island.

I cannot see/install some apps from Play Store inside Island because parental controls are enabled and I cannot disable it.

Within Island's Play Store I go to settings -> Family -> Parental Controls and disable the switch by creating and veryfiying a PIN. Then the switch is off ("Parental Controls deactivated"). But when I go back and then again to settings -> Family -> Parental Controls the switch is on again and still I cannot see all apps in Play Store.

This is rather new behavior. Some time ago I could see and install all apps in Island's Play Store.

The only relevant change was an update from Android 11 to 12. And of course auto updates of Play Store itself.

What I tried several times:

- clear storage of Island's Play Store app and Play Services.

- deactivate and reactivate Island's Play Store app.

- sideload the specific apps not shown in parental controlled Play Store (not possible)

It drives me nuts that I do not find a solution and it seems this issue is not covered anywhere else.

Any idea how to disable parental controls in Island's Play Store?

Is there an administrative setting in Island or Android for Work?

Thank you for any hint to solve this!

Can I use this with Samsung's Dual Messenger?

Need 3 instances of two apps.

I mean Island gives me "error" when setting up that I cannot use this app, but if I am Advanced user I can do it with ADB.

I don't think it's a problem. But will it work that way?
[Android Apps and Games] Cerveza:
Is there any way to fix the boot-loop issue without wiping my phone?
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
If running a custom ROM dirty flashing the ROM zip should work.
[Android Apps and Games] IamRage7:
It automatically clone the apps flashed using magisk. Although the manually cloned apps works just fine. Only issue is, I can't remove the system apps which comes pre cloned and the ones get installed while flashing magisk modules.
[Android Apps and Games] tortino:
I had a similar problem on my old OnePlus, and the Gallery app, when I was trying to install Ice Box.

I solved by temporarily disabling the gallery app: then the hidden account went away.

After installing Ice Box I re-enabled the gallery app. You can try doing the same with your contacts app.
[Android Apps and Games] gorthon:
Has anoyone gotten Island to work on a rooted and encrypted Samsung device?

After a clean flash of my Galaxy S20 5G (Nov 2021 firmware), I first get the message "can't create work profile" (custom OS), then, when trying the root method, I get the "Sorry, something went wrong in Island setup. (stage 1)" error message.

Now here is the interesting part: If I do a clean flash without FBE (phone encryption), by using multidisabler, then I can install Island with the root method without problems, it works fine. But of course I don't want my phone unencrypted. If I do a clean flash with encryption (i.e. multidisabler mod that keeps encryption), then I get above error messages.

Enabling encryption after installing Island won't work, as in this setup manual encryption can't be started and flashing without formatting the unencrypted /data partition results in a boot loop.

Here is my theory: Could it be that some Samsung Knox/secure folder process only gets activated if the device is encrypted, and then occupies Android's work profile?
[Android Apps and Games] AW1:
Thanks for the tip but unfortunately I am unable to "disable" the contacts app, the button is greyed out, I am only able to "force stop" but this doesn't solve the issue. Is there another way to disable the app, other than in the settings/apps/?
[Android Apps and Games] tortino:
then you can try disabling it using adb disable command (not the uninstall command).

just google it.

I'm currently using this tool to make adb commands easier to use:

ADB AppControl

Official website of the ADB AppControl application. Free Download. Latest release. The ultimate applications manager and debloat tool for Android devices.

www.adbappcontrol.com
[Android Apps and Games] AW1:
Thanks tortino, that worked great, I now have demigod mode active. For anybody else with a Xperia XZ1c, the adb commands are:

$ pm disable-user --user 0 com.sonymobile.android.contacts

$ dpm set-profile-owner --user 0 --name Mainland com.oasisfeng.island/.IslandDeviceAdminReceiver

$ pm enable com.sonymobile.android.contacts

Thanks again

Any help would be appreciated.

Sad should be really usefull if it has possible, I only know the xprivacy lua for that, but isn't all devices that we can root and put magisk to use it.
[Android Apps and Games] sieger007:
just finished just finished installing Island using manual method.

since I am rooted gpay in mainland will not work.Idead was to get it working in Island. but I am stuck in these two places :

-- I getting this error whenever I tried to login Google Play or get a Google account associated in Island "can't can't open this app to disable this restriction please refer to the settings in Island app "

-- I keep seeing the mention of God more but I do not see it any available am I missing something
[Android Apps and Games] Coolhaus:
No, because both Island and Samsung's Dual Messenger use the underlying Android Work Account function, and they can't share it.

island is a security risk. We need to closely examine its behaviour. It will keep running in background even after I withdrew root from it ( via Magisk M ) and disabled it. With no interest in addressing my earlier post - I just removed the app and deleted everything under /data/media/user10.
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
How to hide root from apps in the Island? I have installed the latest Magisk and Shamiko and other modules were listed automatically. I have Play Services, Island itself and the financial apps in the Denylist. Yet at least one app consistently detects root. I tried again after clearing app data but to no avail.
[Android Apps and Games] Life Companion:
How you manage to install island with root device? Mine not working
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
I had installed Island early last year and haven't updated it since. It still works well in all my devices which are without exception rooted. Maybe it's the newer version that is causing issues?
[Android Apps and Games] Life Companion:
Version?
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:

[Android Apps and Games] Life Companion:
Not working. ANDROID 11 ROOTED
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
No idea. I am using AOSP based custom ROMs in my devices, A10 & 11. Maybe try the ADB method? Although some stock ROMs might be the issue. BTW I installed the latest version, 6.0.5 in another rooted device and faced no issues. Just need to figure out how to get File Shuttle to work.
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
That doesn't seem to be related to root. Rather some limitation in the ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] Life Companion:
This is something different now.

Before this it showed following

The work profile cannot be created because the OS was changed.

Unauthorized application was installed and blocked, please contact your admin
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
Which device are you using? Stock ROM or a custom one?
[Android Apps and Games] Life Companion:
Custom rom Android 11 Rooted with Magisk
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
That's strange. Which custom ROM? Maybe try a different one if available or try after a clean flash.
[Android Apps and Games] Life Companion:
Snake OS.

I will try adb this time.
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
I think the problem might be in the ROM itself. Doesn't seem to be a well known one. You might wanna try with Lineage/Pixel Experience/crDroid etc.
[Android Apps and Games] lieutenantcop:
My company requires storage encryption to install work profile through Microsoft Company Portal app. I am on a custom AOSP rom A12 where storage encryption is not working.

Will Island app help in this case? I mean kind of mimic/fake storage encryption so that when the company portal checks for encryption it sees the storage encrypted?
[Android Apps and Games] endrancer:
the work profile app-list in the launcher is coming up by default, is there a way to change the launcher sorting that when i open my app list (on miui in this case) to list my private apps which are not managed by default? can't seem to find settings in the OS for that.

Even when switching to "Personal", I can browse the files and pictures on Mainland, but I was never EVER successful at uploading them on ANY apps that I have on Island.

Setting up any security lock after Installing Shelter or Island causes bootloop on S9+ and Note 9 with pixel experience or any Aosp based rom including all Android 13 roms as phone reboots soon after booting to the rom.

It seems that in Android 13 (OxygenOS 13) on Oneplus 10 Pro, whenever I try to open any app on work profile (Island created) in split-screen, this app instanty crashes and wont open in work profile. Only with Island app.
[Android Apps and Games] jaybee01:

I have strange problem. I use Insular, which is the app allowing work profile framework. I use installer in work profile to install application and it is then correctly visible in work profile. However, when I then use that application to access filesystem, it only allows me to access files located in "Personal" tab, while when I click on "Work" tab, I get error message is "IT Administrator does not allow to open work files by personal application". That leads to suspicion that the system sees application installed in work profile as actually beeing installed in personal profile. I can still have the same app installed in personal profile with its own settings and working correctly (unable to access work profile filesystem of course).

Can it be fixed?

Hi

I installed island successfully on pixel 7 pro.

Island creates ok but when i reboot my phone i cannot access the phone settings.

The phones settings app crashes.

I deleted the island and recreated it successfully.

What i noticed was settings works as long as i don't reboot.

Once i reboot then i cannot access settings any more.

I tried going into device admin, and the admin was the island.

I enabled main land to be admin also, having 2 admins, island and main, rebooted, same problem.

So in a nutshell,

After initial install of the island app, and creation of island successfully, i can access the phones settings, but once i reboot, then i cant access the phones settings cuz it keeps crashing.

Any suggestions

Finally a way to get my banking app to work on my Magisk rooted POCO F3. Very happy :)

But...

Dumb newby question. I run AFWall as my firewall. I've given wifi permission to both Island and the banking app, but the banking app insists that it doesn't have internet access. If I turn off the firewall it works. So how do I keep my firewall on but give internet access to the banking app? I cannot see any settings in Island that might help but i might be looking in the wrong place.

TIA
[Android Apps and Games] brackenhill_mob:
To answer my own question, it's nothing to do with Island!

In AFWall+, go to Preferences --> Experimental and turn on Dual Apps Support

In Magisk, go to Magisk Manager and set Multiuser Mode to Device Owner Managed

Now works ;)

Is it possible to backup all apps and their data in island to preserve them for restore after a clean ROM flash ?
[Android Apps and Games] asripath:
recently backed up and restored with swiftbackup.

instructions from swiftbackup dev below

Multiple users

SB does not officially support secondary users (or work profiles). This also includes vendor specific implementations for dual apps / parallel apps.

You are free to try it out at your own risk:

1. Install SB and Magisk Manager in the secondary profile

2. In the Magisk Manager of the 'main' profile, set 'Multiuser Mode' to 'User-Independent'.

Important notes

1. SwiftBackup folder will be under a path like /storage/emulated/non_zero_id/ instead of the default /storage/emulated/0/ directory for the main user.

2. Make sure you use a different cloud backup tag or your cloud backups taken from the main user profile will get overwritten.

The above instructions help in backup.

Now follow below for restore

-Clone magisk into workspace

-Use a root explorer like mixplorer

-Navigate to /data/media/(workprofileuserid)

-Copy backed-up SwiftBackup folder

-Install Swiftbackup from Swiftbackup/swift_backup_apks/stable folder

-Restore your backup

I have a problem that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. I was using Island without any problems. But one day the island main app started to crash - just like that! I didn't change any settings, nor anything else. It just didn't work anymore without any obvious reason. The error log contains mainly this:

Unknown calling package name "com.oasisfeng.island".

I've tried literally everything to get it fixed. But not even destroying island, delete all related data and eventually clean and reinstall the app, fixed the issue.

And I wasn't able to find any helpful information on the internet. What is going on? What can I do?

My device

Xiaomi Mi 10

MIUI 13 (Android 12)

Rooted with Magisk, running LSPosed (zygisk)

All permissions and settings that are required for Island to run properly are set correctly. I've tried several other things to make it work again. For example, I have manually cleaned all the app's folders on the data partition and also purged any data related to Island wherever I could find something.

I'm pretty much out of ideas.

Thank you.

For last few days ICICI Bank app(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.csam.icici.bank.imobile&hl=en&gl=US) which was put into island is detecting developers option was enabled and shutting the app down.

Since mine is rooted , i was using island without any issue for the banking apps.

Is there a way to block the detection of developers option or even fake it for the app on island ?
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
Have you tried this?
[Android Apps and Games] naveen_reloaded:
I installed that app , tried icici bank under island , still closes and redirects me to its error page on thier website

should i do anything extra ?
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
You did install LSPosed, right?
[Android Apps and Games] naveen_reloaded:
no.. should i install that too ?
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
Of course. It's an XPosed module! You need a modern implementation of it like LSPosed.
[Android Apps and Games] naveen_reloaded:
Since i am on custom ROM and each time i land up with complete reinstall of ROM whenever i meddle with the MAgisk and its releated apps. For LSPOSED , i need riru right ?
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
No.

Edit: Use the Zygisk version. I had only used LSPosed for a little while last year. I had installed a fair few modules. Anyway shortly afterwards I faced the first ever bootloop which couldn't be rectified. Couldn't even recover data.
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
I tested it myself and the LSPosed module works just fine. iMobile detects neither root nor the unlocked Developer Options. Should work for other apps like Payzapp etc. as well.

Yesterday I had a scary prompt appear upon phone unlock, saying that "Island is a harmful application and suggesting its immediate uninstallation. I chose "Ignore" option, went to "Play Protect" section of "Play Store" and did "Scan", which brought up "No harmful apps found".

Island was installed from Google Play Store, phone is non-rooted and uses only trustworthy extra install sources (F-Droid).

Had anyone something similar occurring or was this some kind of fluke?

Is there something similar that works with Samsung s21 ultra?

Hello everyone,

i need your help.

I am trying to get the "SafeReach" app to work in the work profile, but I have a problem.

The app tells me as:

"Access to notifications is not available for apps in your work profile"

All rights are set.

The app needs the right to be able to read the SMS in order to create an alarm.

If I register the app, the SMS will also come to the Work Space.

Does somebody has any idea?

Apps can't read otp on sms automatically. Even if permission is given to an all still no app is being able to read sms in work profile. Some banking apps work only if they read otp through automatic detection and won't work unless they detect otp . Fix for this?
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:
I have faced this issue only in Mobikwik so far. That too only in recent months. Also for some reason it only occurs while UPI verification. The app is able to read login OTP SMS just fine.

Try magicpin app. On normal profile it reads otp automatically. But on work profile it doesn't due to which I can't use maximum coupon codes.
[Android Apps and Games] amn1987:

Does anyone have the same issues? I recently bought a nubia red magic 8s, but when I installed and run the app, it showed "can't add work profile, contact your IT..." inside the user account section, it showed "work profile isn't available yet". However, I saw other apps which were cloned into work profile in the manage apps section inside settings and it run normal, I can resize the app for using as floating windows and the app on work profile did show up in recent apps section. The problem here is the work profile didn't show up on the home screen. I tried the manual setup using adb way and the apps appeared on home screen but these apps of work profile did not appear in recent apps section. I did used shelter, it worked well but the app can not be resized.
