File Shuttle - Bridge for cross-border file access

Island provides a special documents provider of Android Storage Access Framework for cross-border file access. Currently it enables apps (supporting Android SAF) in Island to access files in mainland. The reverse direction file access will be implemented in future version.

I would like to migrate Whatsapp to Island.

I need to move my Databases and Media folders from the original directory [/storage/emulated/0/WhatsApp] to Island emulated sd card storage. I looked up /data/user/10 but that is not the directory I am looking for because it only contains data information. Which is the correct path to make a copy of Whatsapp folder?

MaaS360 compliance

After losing my LG V30 to damage and now on an LG V30+ VS998, in attempting to reset up MaaS360 in Island, I had to make some changes. As of Magisk Manager v7.2, you can no longer test SafetyNet when the Magisk core is not installed. MaaS360 uninstalled my co.'s certificate halfway through as it detected the Magisk su binary despite trying it in un-rooted Island. I learned that Magisk Hide can work when hiding an app on the Mainland side and will also block root detection for its Island counterpart. You can completely remove an app on the Mainland side, and even though Magisk Hide will no longer display the app as it only detects Mainland apps, it will continue hiding root on the Island side (which I tested with this root checker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=technarcs.rootchecker&hl=en_US as it was the one to point out it could detect the Magisk su binary from within Island). Now, when installing/updating MaaS360 (plus the separate MaaS360 for LG and MaaS Email apps for me) I unfreeze it on the Mainland side and update it there and it should* automatically update on the Island side, and then refreeze it on the Mainland side again.

* I say "should" because I was attempting to run Magisk Manager v.7.2 on Mainland and v.7.1.1 (still has SafetyNet test despite no core installed) on Island and that's when I discovered Island uses the same APK for both Mainland and the Island sandbox. This is also why I just freeze them on the Mainland side instead of removing them now.

Hope this helps someone out there!

I'm facing a serious problem with "Island" newer version app,

I like to use my preferred apps as system app and so I always like to install "Island" into the system (/system/app/, or /system/priv-app/),

I've used Island 2.5,..,2.6,..,2.7,..,2.8,..,2.9.3 version as system app (/system/priv-app/Island/Island.apk),

But after Island v2.9.3 I can not use the app as system app anymore.

Means when I install Island v 3.0, 3.0.6, 3.1.0, 3.5.3, 3.6.1 and 3.6.2(latest), my phone doesn't turn on (bootloop), tried different ROM, Android version and phone, but phone doesn't turn on when I install new version of Island to system (after 2.9.3_(29301)).

So I request you, [MENTION=4376588]oasisfeng[/MENTION] please kindly notice the problem why newer version of Island can't be installed to system app and please fix the problem in the next update.

[Android Apps and Games] zilexa:
Just bumped into Island via a Reddit post. Trying to understand how it works and how it's different approach can be useful:

My biggest issue with Parallel Space, Dual apps, Clone apps etc when using it for something like a secondary Whatsapp account: you have no access to your contacts of that secondary Whatsapp, since the contact details are stored in your secondary Android (Google) account. You would need to add that secondary Google account to your phone, that would beat the purpose for a lot of people.

So now I only see phone numbers in my chat list and I cannot start a new chat because it asks me to give permission to access contact list, which is useless because the contacts on my phone (primary android/google account) are not the contacts of the secondary Whatsapp (secondary android/google account).

If I understand correctly, Island overcomes this by using a secondary profile on my phone ("Work") in wich in will create a sandboxed environment that can contain a secondary Google account with apps like Whatsapp. The secondary google account will not be visible/accessible for apps outside Island. Is this correct?

Anyone?
[Android Apps and Games] selfishjelly:
You got it mostly right and I think it fits your use case (trough I cannot confirm that it works with whatsapp). From what I understand Island is a work profile manager. Actual isolation depends on your systems implementation of work profile and does not provide any extra security you would expect from true sandbox. What work profile does provide is one isolated enviroment for its apps with its separate storage and set of accounts.

[Android Apps and Games] vip5912:
Work profile is a second user account (user id 10).

You can create new or the same Google account in work profile.

You can have any applications in the work profile with own data and account (/data/user/10, /data/media/10).

The work profile have own contact list and calendar!

The applications in work profile don't see the applications in Main profile and vice versa.

The systems implementation of work profile is the same in any phone, it's Android for Work of Google OS.

Actual isolation is the isolation of Linux between different users (right management).

Island is only start creation of the work profile and can freeze the applications in it.

Island don't realise the work profile, it's the Android OS function.

VPN + root + no SDcard access inside Island or Android working mode. Is it possible ?

Hi !

Can anybody help me. I have three questions about Island working mode.

1. How can I extend VPN operate within Island environment ?

2. How can I extend root operate within Island environment ? My phone is rooted and SupeSU is working on the Mainland.

3. Mayme bost important, how can i block Island apps to access SD card ?

At the beginning this thread the host recommended to activate vpndialogs. Yes I have this cloned to Island, it's not blocked and active. Or with activating vpndialogs it was meant something else ? Currently I'm using OpenVPN connect profile on Mainland.

The ability to access SD card in Android working mode is most important security threat I think. If anybody have any recommendation how to overcome this, please let me know.

Thank you in advance !
