I have an issue of reinstallation of island after factory reset. I am on Android Oreo, Vivo V9 infected by malware. no other choice but to factory reset my device.

when new and first time installation, island automatically take god mod and i do not face any issue when installing ice box as it already in god mod

but after factory reset, it do not happend automatically into god mod. i cant install ice box. i did factory reset many time hopping installation into god mode is a success. after many tries i found out how to do it. so if anyone facing issues like me, do this

1. after factory reset. do not set your google account.

2. i download island from apkmirror and install

3. execute island and island will set work profile.

4. go to your phone setting, delete work profile.

5. plug in your phone and execute adb -d shell

6. execute this in the adb window

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

it will show now island is an owner

7. run island and go to island-setting-setup & shutdown

you will see now both mainland and island are label as managed.

8. that it. if you want to install ice box, go ahead.

Have a Problem with Island. After changing rom on my phone, factory reset and installing Island, gallery and files seem to be corrupted. Island detects images but can't show them in gllaery. Is there a way to completely erase work profile and start from scratch ? I don't really want to totally erase Data, as I don't want my main profile removed...

Hi [MENTION=4376588]oasisfeng[/MENTION],

I am planning to update my Pixel 2 to Beta P version and like to know the current Island app works with it. I have installed few apps that are imp than updating my phone to latest version.

Edit: I took the gamble and Installed latest P Beta version and happy to confirm Island app is working fine.

Thank You

On Android 8.1.1, system tells me battery is being used by island. How much battery is it actually using? Thanks!

Add work mode toggle in quick settings and turn off work mode when not in use..In that way u will have no work apps running in background..

Check it urself by opening running services from developer options.U will get to know about background apps.
[Android Apps and Games] mermaidkiller:
A bit late, but Thanks, that worked !

The only thing which is missing, is that I cannot access app data from the 'other side'. But probably because I am not rooted.
[Android Apps and Games] tiniwings:
Hey, Thanks for the app. I noticed if we update any app in Mainland (Normal apps) the update is reflecting in Island. No need to update Island app again. That's awesome :laugh: :good:

Hi, every time I launch the app and tap "Accept," the app itself freezes and crashes. I'm on a 2XL on P DP2, which is apparently working for other people. What can I do?
[Android Apps and Games] evangao888:
Try version2.5. It's works fine
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
P DP2 has significant changes in the framework, I'm working on a fix.
[Android Apps and Games] astonv12:
Hello oasisfeng,

I also have the problem, that Island blocks/deactivates ALL other keyboard apps on my Samsung Galaxy A5, except for the Samsung one (system-app).

the detailed Steps are:

- Install Island

- Open Island and create the Profile.

- When finished, open any "Mainland"-app of your choice and try to write something => Standard Samsung keyboard is used.

If you try to change the keyboard, you only see an "i"-icon beside the other keyboard, and if you click on that, it says something like "Device administrator Island doesn't allow to use this app".

There is also an option to remove the work profile. If you do remove it, everything (the work profile) is deleted, and all keyboard-apps work again.

Maybe that issue has something to do with Samsung's KNOX, or any other Samsung-SW-parts since the other guys, that are experiencing this problem, also have Samsung's? :confused:

I really hope you can find a solution, since "Island" is exactly what I was looking for to cage stupid Whatsapp :D

And this Samsung-keyboard is useless rubbish...

Thanks, aston
[Android Apps and Games] trivi88:
Hi, I found a partial solution. If you turn off the GPS and then you turn on it again the PoGo catch the GPS, but any time you lose the app focus (running in background or similar) you have to repeat this process again.

Did you found a permanent solution??

I can confirm this is the case also on an Xperia XZ2.

I don't see a Destroy Island icon in settings. I mistakenly uninstalled island before seeing the uninstall instructions. I'm deleting cause I lost my keyboard. I moved 1 game to the island. And my keyboard disappeared. Anyway, I don't see a work profile. So I reinstalled and don't see a Destroy Island button. I'm using an un-rooted Note 8

---------- Post added at 08:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 AM ----------

Is work profile the google account? I did the PM list users on the pc and it gave me my Google account and an Island Profile. Do i just need to go in an remove the Google account, uninstall Island and then readd the account?

Ok. So, when the Error Message about IT manager came up, I pressed the Details button and voila...Delete Profile was on the next screen.

Rooted/Encrypted Samsung Warning - Phone Bricked from Island

Just a warning for anyone out there with a similar setup and trying to install Island.

I tried installing Island on a rooted S7 with TWRP recovery and encrypted storage. Island returned the error in the attached screenshot:

Cannot create work profile

The security policy prevents the creation of a work profile because a Custom OS has been installed on this device.

I then manually setup the profile successfully. Island would not start - just a quick flash on the screen when the icon was pressed. I rebooted and something brilliant Samsung designed into these phones decided to kill my device with the second error attached.:mad:

Verification Failed, Unable to restart your device. The Integrity verification has failed. You need to reset your device to factory default settings. This will erase all your data.

I had to ODIN firmware back on it, wiping all storage in the process.

I tried again with the exact same results and had to ODIN again.
[Android Apps and Games] kapil.git:
Yes bootloop'd miA1 .. hopefully its not bricked.. I didnt thought this would happen :(

I wasnt even paying much attention, it said no need to do a manual install fo God mode.. Disclaimer of this nature should be there in the app.
[Android Apps and Games] gfeo:
I don't think that's an Island issue, it sounds like you didn't disable dm-verity. You should read the S7 forums for more info.

Does anyone know of any details of this "stage 1" error or the manual installation "couldn't create user" error?

I need a work profile and the Samsung Stock ROM doesn't support it, I could get it on Nougat, but not on Oreo.
[Android Apps and Games] neodymium60:
I'm having the exact same issue! Same device too.

All media (pictures/videos) downloaded within the work profile (whether it's WhatsApp or any other app) disappear from the work profile and appear in the gallery and file manager for the non-work/island part of the phone.

I've tried various combinations of freezing/uninstalling gallery, Google photos on both the personal and work sections to no effect.

It seems to happen even if I don't disable/re-enable work. I'm not sure of the time frame, somewhere around 12-24 hrs after the media is received.

Any suggestions for other things I can try to pin this down?
[Android Apps and Games] paragnagda1:
Im also having the same problem of error of stage one in Redmi note 4 previously I was using it on my phone but after replacement of pc & after latest OTA update it showing problem it once created the work profile then I deleted it and after that error stage 1 coming.

[Android Apps and Games] gmsh:
Thanks for your work.

I can't add any google account to the work profile to use the inside Play store. Neither the same one with outside nor a different one. It said "Sorry, there seems to be a problem. Please try again".

PS: 2-step verification was enabled. I'm sure the connection to google server was established normally.

Anyone with error creating shortcut for frozen apps?
[Android Apps and Games] jianggau:
No issue signing in my Google account but my account's 2 step verification isn't enabled .

Creating shortcut for some apps is not working, for example, 广东移动app。 And some app FC in work profile like taopiaopiao, previous named taobaodianying.

But island work as respect. Thanks for your awesome work!
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
I'm afraid not possible without root at present.

Android N has a feature to toggle location access in work profile (i.e. Island).
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
This error is occurred in Android framework. That probably means your device ROM may not have the proper implementation for "Android for Work". Please send me full logcat thus I could further analyze the cause.
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
You can never access app private data without root.

If you already has root, they are located /data/user/nn/.
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
It's currently in progress. Probably in the next one or two.
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
They probably do not correctly support multiple users in Android. You can create a new normal user (beside the default one) and try install them within. If they still failed to run, you should ask the developer to test their apps against multiple-users mechanism in Android.
[Android Apps and Games] kenosis:
I just installed "Island". I already have "Facebook" installed before Island. Under "Work Profile", my device is asking to log-in Facebook again. Do I need to log in?
[Android Apps and Games] Dingjun:
few apps I tested work fine inside Island except Telegram.

Telegram always stay in "Loading..." after I enter the phone no.
[Android Apps and Games] hadi_rena:
Is it possible to have more than 1 island?
[Android Apps and Games] shiktek:
I don't think apps created inside the island can be backed up with Titanium Backup.

I tried to backup but couldn't do it. Neither the apps nor the island itself could be backed up.

It may be an issue if I want to flash a new rom...
[Android Apps and Games] hadi_rena:
Did you clone TiBu to island and run it from there?
[Android Apps and Games] DavidZhay:
Testing

Just downloaded and will give a feedback if i find some problems.
[Android Apps and Games] bnwg:
I suppose it cannot be run properly as TB requires root.
[Android Apps and Games] kraml:
hi, I saw the op mentioned "Freeze frequently woken apps". However I notice the app I cloned in the island keeps running after I quit from it. Is there anything I'm missing in island setup?
[Android Apps and Games] hadi_rena:
Cloned app will still run after you quit it if you don't frozen it. To frozen:

1. open island manager

2. find your apps

3. click padlock button to froze the apps, this button should in blue color.

In later version it can be integrated with greenify for automatic froze apps. But for now manual froze is required
[Android Apps and Games] kraml:
Thank you! It solved my problem.

BTW, do you know how to create auto de-freeze shortcut for an app? When select an app in island UI and clone it, a prompt for create such shortcut will be displayed. But when I install an app from in-island market the installed app does not get such shortcut.

Samsung Pay and Gear S3

Hi. I have Island app in God mode, non rooted. I am trying to run my samsung gear and samsung pay in island mode. It all seems to work just fine until I start samsung pay. When I start it the screen goes black, and everything seems to freeze. Then samsung gear crashes, the watch loses connection, and the phone goes to the home screen.

Any idea what might be causing this or how I might fix it? Has anybody had luck with samsung pay and island?
[Android Apps and Games] m.mishka:
I had a similar but not the same problem on my Moto, with Moto gestures. It took me ages to work out what could be causing it. Turns out, the Island app copies system apps into the island, and I had two instances of Moto Gestures running. What I suggest you try is disabling the Island version of the app to see if it solves your problem (you cannot uninstall system apps in Island, only disable).

Restrict access to data and applications in Island by password

Great applications. Thank you. I long sought something like this.

Installed from Play Market.

Island 2.6, ROM: LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1.2), Samsung S4 (9505)

Can you restrict access to data and applications in Island by password (as in Samsung My Knox)?

I like use Island as more secure part of phone with another password i.e. for work or for bank application.
[Android Apps and Games] texasaggie1:
That didn't work but thanks for the input. I need Samsung Pay to run in island. It wont. I disabled all of the mainland versions of the app and plugins. Still didn't work. It runs fine in Mainland mode, I just need it in island :(
[Android Apps and Games] briant97:

Can I backup the apps in Island using the Titanium backup and restore them all once when I need to restore.
[Android Apps and Games] Lifear:
Hi, i have the same problem. In my case i have update from Nougat to Oreo and i had Samsung "Secure Folder" enabled. If this is the case, "Islands", can't create a Work Profile, because the Work Profile exists by "Secure Folder". With "Secure Folder" my third party keyboard works as expected. I have then deactivated "Secure Folder" and "Islands" created a new Workspace. I could use the apps inside the workspace and see that they are separated apps. But outside and inside of "Islands" all third party keyboards are disabled. Only the Samsung keyboard is enabled. If i try now to activate a third party keyboard i get the screen like in [MENTION=4346230]aelnyal[/MENTION] post .

How can i enable my preferred keyboard again?
[Android Apps and Games] laymanal:
[MENTION=4376588]oasisfeng[/MENTION] Thanks for your work. Can you add batch freeze apps feature? Sometimes I need to freeze or active dozens of apps. Clicking one by one is annoying.

Many thanks [MENTION=4376588]oasisfeng[/MENTION]

Finally I found something equivalent to Samsung's Secure Folder. I need this function but hate Samsung =)))

I'm using it on my Blackberry Motion, Android 7.1.1

Works perfectly. I can clone Play Store, Camera app, Photos app (with different Google credential), my "Work" pictures and document stay invisible in "Home" environment.

Although I couldn't find the option to hide cloned app, my Blackberry Launcher supports it, so I'm fine. Guess I will stick with it for now ^^

Is there a way to allow proxydroid to work inside of the island work profile? It doesn't seem to route Island traffic when I activate it on my main profile. I have it installed under the work profile but it doesn't seem to be able to modify iptables.
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
Is this issue fixed in the latest version 2.7 ? Honestly I'm not sure about the cause, but if not fixed, I'll try another solution.
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
Island itself cannot control such functionalities, you may ask the developer of proxydroid to add support for multi-users.

It seems like only occurring in the 8.1 ROM of OnePlus devices? Is it a new issue on newer version of your ROM?
[Android Apps and Games] neodymium60:
Yeh, it was working fine before, and it only happened after the 8.1 update. I think it's sorted now though, it seems to have stopped over the last few days. Weird!
[Android Apps and Games] Lifear:
At least for me, it seem not fixed with version 2.7. After the last attempt, I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it from PlayStore this morning. After creating the work container, however, all third party keyboards were disabled and could not be reactivated. Only the system keyboard (Samsung Keyboard) remained active. After I destroyed the new work container, all third party keyboards were still inactive, but I could reactivate them. Currently Iceland is no longer installed. If you want to do more tests, I can install them again.

The Phone is a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge with official Android Oreo 8.0

Do I need clone Greenify to Island or I must use Greenify only in Mainland?
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
No, just use Greenify in mainland.

Thanks for your feedback, I'll try another potential solution in next few days. I've no Samsung devices for testing, hope it will work.
[Android Apps and Games] tecnicopascoal:

[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
I've implemented the alternative potential solution for this issue in v2.7.2. Hope it works this time.
[Android Apps and Games] Lifear:
Many thx. I have done a first test. After a fresh install, all this party keyboards are disabled. But this time i could activate them from the system settings successfully. If i set in mainland for example Gboard as default keyboard, it's also set as the default in island.

I will make some more detailed test tomorrow and let you know, if i found something. But for me, the problem seems to be solved. Many thx for this.

My question regarding use of Island App

1. Even after freezing my apps through Island they are still running in backround and I am really confused. Are they supposed to run that way occupying less memory/CPU than the original app or there's something wrong with the beta version?

2. Can I uninstall the original app after creating it's Island clone without facing any problem?

3. Will I receive Google Play updates for the apps frozen through Island?
[Android Apps and Games] vip5912:
1. You can freeze only application in Island. If you have application in Mainland it will be working. (Or you need activate God mode).

2. Yes.

3. No.

[solved] device disappears from play store device list

Hi all, after trying our island for a while (and then removing it again in the recommended order) I noticed that my device is now gone from the play store device list completely. I have so far not succeeded to get it back there and now I fail to trigger installation from the play store web interface to this device. Also I cannot see the device in the android device manager any longer - preventing remote clearing of the device.

Play store locally on the device however works flawless by itself - logged in the with the same google account. Find-my-device sees all other devices on the same account, but NOT the device I use to access the service.

I remember that the default for playstore on island was not logged in - so my google account was NOT logged in on the island. Actually then I DID log in also on island - creating a duplicate login for the device (from mainland and from island). I wonder if THAT could have created the confusion on play store?

I have so far not found a way to get my device back on the list in play store for my standard account in play store. Doing all from removing the google account from THAT device, clearing data for play services, play store and Android device manager. I am out of ideas now - is there any advice?

Solution:

Delete data from google play store and play services and then (important) restart the device - this fixed it.

I think I was impatient expecting results already after data deletion and not wait after restarting the device.
