Thank you for your reply, and I'm glad you got Island to work for you!

I did my tests a while ago, and I don't recall which version of Island I tried. I believe it was the latest one on this site referenced in the OP:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3fmjigfejcu0kko/AABJy7du0DQx2Jn_R0uQcy6Ea?dl=0

As far as I remember, I performed all of the installation steps as documented and set up a work profile as you did, except I didn't do anything regarding PIN and fingerprint setup, since I don't normally use those security features. Everything seemed to work fine, except my SIM.

I'm using Oxygen Android 10 (OOS 10.3.3) on an OP 7Pro that is rooted via Magisk 20.4, and perhaps my problem is due to my OS version, my Magisk setup, or my device ... ???

It's also entirely possible that I made some sort of mistake when installing or configuring Island, and one of these days when I have a lot of spare time, I'll try again.

But before I do, I'd like to know whether anyone has successfully gotten Island to work specifically on a Magisk-rooted OP 7Pro running OOS 10.3.3.

hi I have three questions:

1. how can I use island to hide apps?

2. when I plug my phone to the PC, in what directory can I find the sandboxed files? Are they hidden?

3. how can I put a file or a directory outside the sandboxed area?

Cloning does not work on Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro

I installed Island, then I issued ADB commands to preserver App Ops for frozen apps.

I got to the Mainland, clicked on an app and then on 'Clone' below right.

The first app then a popup appeared it was doing like 'installing' an app and then it finished, but sometimes it takes ages. But could not find the app in the Island. All subsequent cloning attempts did nothing at all.

What am I doing wrong ?

Hardware : Xiaomi Mi Pro 8 running stock Android 10 (MIUI 11), no root.

I cleaned up the app and set it up again and now I got the message 'installing' the app, but after some time (several minutes) I got the message 'Failed', 'Canceled by user' while I did not cancel anything. Find attached screenshots.

And the 'alternatve way', using 'manual setup' (https://island.oasisfeng.com/setup.html) did not work either.

After the command from ADB which is part of manual setup,

pm install -r --user 13 /data/app/com.oasisfeng.island-2nR_Kzebho0W_94oGLbk-w==/base.apk

it keeps hanging so I aborted and pulled the USB plug and rebooted the device. Afterwards I removed the work profile.

I tried three different versions of the Island app: v4.54 from the Dropbox link in XDA Developers thread, 4.01 from apkpure and 3.8 from Play store. All three have the same issues. In between I uninstalled Island and removed the 'work profile' from the standard Android settings.

[Android Apps and Games] HippoMan:
I tried Island again on my OnePlus 7Pro (GM-1917) running OOS 10.3.3 and the latest Magisk for root. And I still have problems.

Version of Island: 4.5.4

I set it up without "God Mode" using the "Manual setup for Island" instructions in the Setup Guide ( https://island.oasisfeng.com/setup.html ). The setup worked fine, and then I rebooted and successfully started Island.

I cloned one app to the Island (my banking app from Chase) and didn't make any other changes. I then rebooted.

After reboot, there were two problems:

1. I lost all access to my SIM card and could not use my phone, SMS, nor anything which required internet access.

2. My keyboard stopped working

I am using "SwiftKey" as my keyboard, so I cloned that app to the Island also and rebooted. However, the same two problems remained.

I had to restore my device from a nandroid backup in order to uninstall Island and in order to get the SIM card and the keyboard to start working again.

Has anyone encountered this problem on this device and OS and perhaps come up with a solution?

Thank you very much.

[Android Apps and Games] phonedroid:
Can an app in the island possess true Device Admin privileges if I grant it?

Decided to configure my office apps (Outlook, Teams) using the Island app. Now, for me to use an Office email client app and Microsoft Teams in my phone, my organization mandates that I install the "Intune Company Portal" app, and I have to make it a device admin app as part of the initial setup. By this step, the app gets the permissions to wipe the device, if an administrator wants to remotely perform that action on my device in case of a security incident.

I could successfully set up the "Intune Company Portal" app, make it a device admin, and then set up Teams and Nine (mail client app) - all of them within the island. At this stage, everything works perfectly.

My question is - How does a device admin app function within the island? I mean, can it still perform actions like wiping the whole device since I had granted such permissions to it when I made it a device admin app? Remember, the app is only configured within the island. The default profile still has this app untouched. Any clarifications highly appreciated!
[Android Apps and Games] HippoMan:
I tried the 4.5.4 Island installation again, this time without cloning any application. As soon as I rebooted after the manual installation, my system came up without the SIM card functioning. This time, the keyboard does indeed work.

When going into Settings -> SIM and network, I then would always get an error stating that "com.android.phone keeps stopping", so I cloned "Phone", hoping that this might fix the problem with recognizing my SIM card. However, after doing so and rebooting, the problem persists.

I then issued the "destroy" function inside of Island's settings. The Island app indeed went back to its initial state, but the SIM card still was not functioning after reboot. So I did a complete uninstall of Island and rebooted. However, even then, my device came up without the SIM card functioning.

The only way I could get my device to work properly after this was to restore the nandroid backup I had made in TWRP right before performing these latest Island tests.

After performing these tests and my previous tests, I have come to the following conclusion: with a OnePlus 7Pro running OOS 10.3.3 and Magisk 20.4, Island requires manual setup, and when it comes up, it disables the use of the SIM card on the device. Destroying and uninstalling Island does not fix this SIM card problem, which only seems to be fixable by restoring from a backup that was taken before Island was installed.

However, I hope that I am mistaken and that there is some sort of workaround for this problem. Hope springs eternal!

Is there a guide to follow sorry not much into this.
[Android Apps and Games] mermaidkiller:
devilstutor: that should work. I didn't try, but Magisk has a multiuser option.

And another question: I installed Island 4.54 on my 1+6 and that worked.

But I installed it because of hiding the 'work' user and allowing internet access from the island and limited on the mainland. I have AFWall+ installed and I blocked Chrome in the mainland, but in the island Chrome also has no internet access.

How can I separate that a firewall or VPN only works in the mainland ?

AFWall+ has enabled internet access for Island.

Hi.

When I have AFwall+ enabled, all apps started from Island do not have access to internet. Disabled AFwall+ helps, but it does not have a sense. I added a rule for Island in firewall.

PS.

AFwall+ has special configuration options for Island. It opens communication in android 9. I am trying he same in android 10.

[Android Apps and Games] DIR49DNOR0N:
Hey, i am trying to decide between this app and shelter! I don't like the google trackers in this app, but island allows you to disable apps directly, and it looks like it is the more powerful app. I would be settling for it but i have some questions before.

What is the difference between freezing an app and disabling it ? Shelter can only freeze apps, island can do both. Is this essentially the same thing?

I have cloned Google Play to Island, setup a unique google account and installed WhatsApp.

Then I allowed the access to Pesonal Storage in Island area for WhatsApp. This worked, WhatsApp can access files from Mainland. Files app in Island cannot access those files as expected.

Now, I disabled the access to Personal Storage for WA (and any other app in Island area).

Yet, WA can still access files in Mainland. Reboot did not help. I tried to disable permissions for WA in About App settings, but that part is greyed out as being managed by administrator.

How do I revoke the file access for WA in Island area?

[Android Apps and Games] Snowby123:
I do not have those problems. I can uninstall apps from work profile with no issue. Removing apps from island should have no effect on the mainland.
[Android Apps and Games] washichi:
I tried this app but I can't figure out how it is supposed to work.

By default it places some apps on the Island (mainly oneplus apps), and I can't remove them, or add other apps.

Is there a guide somewhere?

Als can't uninstall Island, because to do that I have to destroy my Island, but there are apps in there that I don't want to loose. (I don't see those apps on my Mainland).
[Android Apps and Games] cogano:
In Mainland, tap on a app in the list you want to duplicate to Island. Then click on + sign at the bottom.

Alternatively, open App Store in Island and simply install the app.

I do not understand how you want to use Island app (or keep its duplicated apps in Island area) and have the Island app uninstalled at the same moment.

You can destroy Island area in scoped settings though.

[Android Apps and Games] cogano:
It would be great if we can share a file (or any object in general) from any app in Mainland to the Island App, which would immediately offer to continue the sharing to the apps available in Island area.

And vice versa.

Use case:

WhatsApp in Island area, I would like to send a picture from Gallery in Mainland area.

Is Island still supported?

([emoji880]Omni Rom[emoji880])
[Android Apps and Games] washichi:
Thanks. I figured out that by default it places all your freezed apps on the island. (in my case all the oneplus apps)

The UI and workflow makes more sens if you install Island before setting up your device.

If you want to 'move' (not clone) apps to the island then you have to clone them, then remove the app on your mainland.

I know you can destroy Island, but it will also destroy all apps on the island, that's not what you want when it puts all your frozen apps by default on the island.

Nice app, but UI and workflow takes some time to get used to.

[Android Apps and Games] Snowby123:
One easy way is to use a file explorer such as root explorer. Clone root explorer into island. On both sides link it to Google drive. In root explorer move the file from wherever it is located to somewhere in Google drive. Then on the island side, do the reverse. Move it from the drive folder to any of the folders that are in the island.
[Android Apps and Games] PoochyX:
It's a real long process

([emoji880]Omni Rom[emoji880])
[Android Apps and Games] Snowby123:
But it is easy. It is slow moving files across both sides this way, but it works. I know how to Automate the process, but that is a far more complex process that I don't have space to write here.
[Android Apps and Games] JudgeDread11:
With a root explorer within island you can navigate to data/media/0 for your mainland files and data/media/10 for your island files.

This only works with a root explorer which is granted root in the island environment.

If I navigate to data/media/10 in my mainland environment everything is encrypted.
[Android Apps and Games] vip5912:
I use "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 can use standard file manager for the file transfer.

How can you create more than one managed island space?

I'm on 5.1.2, and I saw in their latest notes that the UI now supports multiple island spaces, even if it can't easily create them.

How can I create a second or third island space for my user?

I converted to full God mode, and I deleted all the previous islands. I tried adding an island as usual, and that worked, but as expected there was no way to add a second island. So I deleted that island.

Then I tried adding the island manually, and that worked as usual as well. The island was created, Island was added as the admin, all was well.

pm create-user --profileOf 0 --managed Island
Success: created user id 13

{... rest of code to finish setting up space}

But when I tried to add a second island with commands, it gave me the error "couldn't create user".

pm create-user --profileOf 0 --managed Island
Error: couldn't create User.

I figured that Island was the name of the island, so I tried naming my second island something else.

pm create-user --profileOf 0 --managed CoolIsland
Error: couldn't create User.

Same error message "couldn't create user".

So I thought perhaps the managed users could be chained. So I found the user-id of my new managed profile, 13, and tried that.

pm create-user --profileOf 13 --managed CoolIsland
Error: couldn't create User.

Still had the same error.

Does anyone know what this manual setup process is for having multiple island spaces? Looking in the commit logs, it appears that the new ui has arbitrary support for at least 3 island spaces.

fun getDefaultName(context: Context, profile: UserHandle = Users.current()) = when (val profileId = profile.toId()) {
0 -> context.getString(R.string.tab_mainland)
10 -> context.getString(R.string.default_island0_name)
11 -> context.getString(R.string.default_island1_name)
12 -> context.getString(R.string.default_island2_name)

Does anyone know of a way to activate more than one managed profile for a user? Is it limited to a specific version of Android or ROM base? Or perhaps is this feature something else entirely than what I'm imagining?
