Island setup problems Galaxy Note 8

Hi there,

I´m facing issues with island on my device :confused:

Im using an Galaxy Note 8 (dual sim version) stock ROM android 9.0 rooted with Magisk. since its a rooted device im using the root setup method provided inside the island App itself.

Island asks for root privileges and seems to do some stuff in the background, suddenly island stops and the phone is totally laggy, about 1 minute later the phone restarts itself. Once its restarted, I can see the work profile and some apps that are already installed in the workspace. However, i can not use any of them, no settings, no apps... and im not able to start the island APP anymore, it asks me for the pincode and crashes instantly.

I guess the fact that the phone restarted itself while island probably setup the work profile isnt a good sign.

Is there Anything i can do ? i already tried to delete cache and data - same results.

i´ve successfully installed island on my old Galaxy A5-2016 (Android 7.0) ... so i guess im not to stupid :P

regards

J0gurt

I'm using Huawei mate 20x and just updated to Android 10. Now when the system restarts, the work profile prompts for password also and as a result, the Nova launcher doesn't stick. Need to switch manually from Huawei launcher to Nova launcher after going into the system. Also, it seems that the cloned apps can no longer use some of the keyboards from the main profile. Like the Gboard option is no longer available for the work profile. Can advise any ways to resolve this? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Chuytl:
have you only installed it once? if yes try to delete it and install again i find it easy in a terminal just look for the user id with

adb shell pm list users (or just pm part if you are rooted and have a terminal emulator installed)

mine is user 10 so

pm remove-user 10

and install again

I used this with Android 10 (Pixel Experience) in Redmi note 7.

Playing 2 games at the same time works, but fps drops too much, I dont know why...

But anyway, two pokemon go accounts can be played at the same time now in android 10, a big step.

Now I will wait a performance fix to come back to android 10 and island.

Thanks for your work!

I use Island in God mode on an unrooted device. In fact, i don't use any cloned apps in Island itself, just the mainland, so that most apps stay frozen when i don't use them.

However, frozen apps do not show in the play store when checking for updates. I do a bulk check every few months.

For this bulk check i need to unfreeze each app i want to update.

Is there any way of unfreezing, not necessarily launching, all apps at once, even if it has to be via adb?
[Android Apps and Games] anonxlg:
Can I remove the playstore and files app that island brought over?

Also, how do I set up greenify to kill the islanded app immediately?

Ideally, I want the island app to only be running (aka no auto running in the background) when I launch it and the app to kill process immediately after I lose focus from it (but probably impossible)

I've added said apps in greenified list right now, but I understand that there's additional settings to do.

I tried setting up island on another device (essential ph-1, android 10), and I can't seem to create a work profile.

When i use the root option, magisk isnt detecting superuser permissions.
[Android Apps and Games] Rohith Pillalamarri:
Try uninstalling be complete root and reinstall the magisk...,

Sometimes magisk loses the detection[emoji2371]
[Android Apps and Games] Chuytl:
maybe you need to clone and set gboard in island... but thats weird i have never seen that but i don't have a huawei nor android 10
[Android Apps and Games] BSroot:
No Root

Was just wondering if there is any way to install magisk within island, my system won't pass safetynet without magisk and it causes apps that check for safetynet to fail in the space

Just went to Q, island installed apps show up but do not open and hang on open. Worked fine in P, guessing an update will remedy, tried the beta, more options same issue. Love the app, have it on 3 devices use it only to play multiple accounts in the same game.

In the notification you have an option to "Deactivate" the Island. Does this automatically hibernate all of the apps in there? Is there an easy way to activate it other than launching an app that is in the Island? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Stefan6183:
Hi,

I am having trouble to install Island on a Samsung S8 on stock Android 8.0.0 rooted with Magisk 20.2 (Knox tripped).

Since automatic installation did not work, I tried the manual steps:

dreamlte:/ $ pm create-user --profileOf 0 --managed Island

Error: couldn't create User.

dreamlte:/ $ setprop fw.max_users 10

setprop: failed to set property 'fw.max_users' to '10'

After switching to the user root wit su - root, I could successfully execute setprop fw.max_users 10, however the create-user command still fails (with users root or shell).

I would be thankful for any hints on how to fix this to be able to proceed with the installation.

Regards,

Stefan

I think island is a really good idea and works very well to protect your private data.

But when you are rooted, it offers you to install App OPS (in discover) to manage permissions (contacts, SMS, call logs).

But by consequence, I wonder why use Island (a sandbox), if App Ops does already blocks permissions (and protect your private data maybe better) ?
[Android Apps and Games] Stefan6183:
Hi laclac,

I am already using Xprivacx Lua for the purpose of protecting my private data.

However, some banking apps have a root detection, which prevents me from using them.

This is why I was hoping to run them successfully in a sandboxed environment in Island, but I am still not able to install it with the manual steps.

Regards,

Stefan
[Android Apps and Games] PalmCentro:
Try it.

Worked for me on several different devices, both methods.
[Android Apps and Games] Oxynogen:
Correct me if I'm wrong... Since I can not open play store to add my account that means all my paid apps will become a regular app in island, right?!

And is gcm push notifications work for apps inside island??? (Like greenify)

And btw this app is amazing... Thank you for this app
[Android Apps and Games] hadi_rena:
If your paid apps is in form of license key apps they should able to work if the license key apps didn't perform license checking.

If your paid apps is in in-app purchase then it will not work.

Cmiiw

Edit: gcm push is 100% works in island. I have proper gcm push for WhatsApp in island
[Android Apps and Games] jerryn70:
Any info about stable release ?
[Android Apps and Games] PalmCentro:
It's very stable :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] jerryn70:
But in op it is written that this apk is beta and dangerous to phone an may cause loop or brick.
[Android Apps and Games] hadi_rena:
Even op state as beta and dangerous but this app really stable imho. Never crashed, cloned app also working properly.

How do I access contacts... I tried Island on Google Pixel and Asus Zenfone 3.. worked flawlessly but in devices, contacts apps don't have any contacts in it... How to I get to sync contacts in it, so that WhatsApp could access contacts from it.
[Android Apps and Games] bnwg:
You need to login Google account from island.

Also make sure to activate contact sync (system app) within island.
[Android Apps and Games] adwinp:
/ no longer needed /

Figured it out.
[Android Apps and Games] Oxynogen:
Anyone knows how to make learned word in Google keyboard sync when using island???

Island creates a work profile and sadly learned word in Google keyboard can't sync on work profile
[Android Apps and Games] luckyankit:
I did tried that.. after adding account, it only syncs App data, Gmail, Google Fit data & people details.

When I app cloned contacts app, it can only access contacts from device or whatsapp, not from Google.

In Island I cloned Contacts, Google, Gmail and Whatsapp & play services apps...

Hence, still not able to understand, upon adding a google account, why it doesn't sync contacts in work profile?

What's the solution for that?

I using galaxy note5 MM rooted with costum kernel

When I trying build island it seys "security policy prevents..."

I dont use costum roms so i think my costum kernel cause this

So there is anyway to build island on my device?
[Android Apps and Games] laclac:
Thank you Sefan :)

Yes, Island does not bypass root protection, unfortunately.

The only advantage with App Ops, for me is that it allows apps to not know which apps are installed.

Amazon, for example, sniffs the list and App Ops cannot block it. Amazon in Island, lets amazon not know the list of apps you have.

If you have Aurora Store (an open source alternative to google play), you no longer need google to know the list of your apps.

Except that Aurora does not manage paid apps. Putting google play in island can be a good solution.

I'm using Island with Greenify on my Redmi K20 Pro, running MIUI.eu 11 (Android 10). My phone is rooted.

In Island, you can select an app to "Auto-freeze with Greenify". When you select this, it will add the app to Greenify and set it to "Deep Hibernation (by Island)". However, it also says "Permission required for deep hibernation" and when I try to Grant it, Greenify crashes. I've already went into the Greenify permission settings and granted it access to all the permissions (Contacts, Control Island Apps). But Greenify just crashes and can't hibernate Island apps by Deep Hibernation. Normal Hibernation or Shallow Hibernation works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] Stefan6183:
Same issue here. In addition, when I start the Island app, I get a message (probably from KNOX) telling me that Island was locked to prevent unauthorized access and that unauthorized software was installed. This only happened after executing the manual Island installation steps.

Any ideas here?
[Android Apps and Games] vinokirk:
I also see that message too!

May be something in the latest version of Android.

Hello. I really like the app but I have a problem. When I play Pokemon Go with to accounts at the same time with split screen, the app disconnect my mobile data and there is no bars. Then it turns on and of for few minutes. I have One Plus 7t with dual sim possibility but there is only one simcard in it. When data is off I can see that option to change betweend simcards lights on for a while. I do not have root. What can I do to not going in the flight mode all the time? Thanks

Hi,

i loved this app, I work very well the first time I installed it, but now that I had to do the factory restore, it is frozen when setting up the work profile. I left it running for 1 h without favorable result.

The phone is a Hisense c20 android 5.1.

If you could advise me in any way to make it work again I will be very grateful.

Hi there,

my Galaxy S9 received the update to Android 10 yesterday.

I wanted to clone the McDonalds app in Iceland now.

After cloning, Iceland reports "Island updated McDonalds" in the status bar and below it says "targeeting Android 9" ... although it is now Android 10.

When the McDonalds app starts, it asks for location approval.

However, this cannot be activated because no permissions are permitted for this app.

The following is reported: "Action not allowed" "to disable this restriction, please refer to corresponding setting in Iceland"

But nowhere in Iceland can I make a setting that I could use to release it.

I have exactly the same problem with other apps that I try to clone again, no permissions are allowed.

If I delete an app that I had already cloned under Android 9 and clone it again, it has the permissions that it has before and I can change it. But I don't get any permissions enabled for new apps.

Does somebody has any idea?

Thank you in advance

Cescom

For everyone who has the same problem after an update to Android 10 ... I have now solved it as follows:

- All cloned apps deleted

- Island (Work Profile) dissolved

- All data deleted from Island's AppInfo

- Island uninstalled

-Island reinstalled and make a new clone of all Apps I need

That's how it works for me now

My question is regarding keeping the same app in both main account and island account. For example, have App Z installed in main account, then I import App Z into island account. When App Z gets an update, does the update also get updated in the island account (or do I have to do that manually every time)?

In my case, I have no account logged into the island account, and it's merely there to install 'junk' apps.

You don't do manually, it gets updated automatically in the island.

Intune company portal

Hi,

If I install intune company portal on a samsung device with knox. I get an error in intune company portal when it tries to check the device.

any advice for what I can do to get it to work?
[Android Apps and Games] anonxlg:
I was forced to do this, and it works.

An app I was using needed to be updated to function, and it was uninstalled from main. I went into google playstore to install, and island'd app also updated.

I understand the order/logic for this, but it worked.

Another question, this is probably super basic:

If I want to log into my google accounts (via island?) are those google accounts treated separately from main and island.

I don't want my google accounts populating in gmail for example.

(for example, main - account A, island - account B and C: main gmail will ONLY see A, and island gmail will ONLY see B and C)
[Android Apps and Games] bnwg:
Regarding to your question on google account in mainland/island, it's correct that mainland will see only the account you login and same for island. They won't see thru each other. This is the purpose of having island

You should be able to export your contacts from your personal profile, and send the file via gdrive or email to your work profile. If you don't see "export" as an option in the Contacts app, it showed up on my Note8 as "Share multiple contacts".

From your work profile, you should be able to import the export file into the work profile contacts.

Are the cloned apps inside Island completely isolated from the original apps?

Because I cloned a banking app in Island, and after this I am not able to use it inside or outside, it gives some sort of security error.

I have to uninstall it from both locations and reinstall it only once to be able to use it again.

Somehow it can see that it is cloned and thinks it's a security risk,

and refuses to work.

Is there any way I can fix this ? Thank you!
