hey oasisfeng! great app! so far its been great and im sure it will get better with time. you mentioned a better user-friendly implementation which i admit it needs. im hoping that go with something that looks similar to parallel space's look.

also, im hoping that will you be adding security features like passcode/fingerprint open both island and somehow open the shortcuts. at the moment its not possible to secure the shortcuts. thanks again for all the hard work and future releases!

Hello :) Using Island for a few days now and I absolutely love it!

I'm just facing an issue with the official Twitter app. For my own weird reasons, I would like to have it as a separate instance on Island, and not use the included multi account feature. I can send Twitter to Island without issues, but when opening it there it force closes. It also force closes in Mainland too, even if I remove the Island instance. The only way to fix the Mainland crash is to remove it from Island and also uninstall it and reinstall it in Mainland.

Anyone else? I know that probably no one still uses the Twitter app, but just in case, what can I do to troubleshoot this? :)

Another question, if I choose to keep an app only on Island (and remove it from Mainland) I can still keep it updated using Island's Play Store instance, correct?

Hello,

something odd is occuring. I reinstalled my Mi8, installed latest version of island, all fine - now I noticed that a lot of system apps installed inside island which weren't there before a couple weeks ago with older island app.

If I restore any app via titanum backup, it gets installed in island automatically?! This is reproducible, any app I restore is in island now as well. Is this a new feature? How to disable that? I cannot deinstall the system apps, removing inside island is not possible either.
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
System apps are cloned to Island by default except those explicitly blacklisted by the ROM.

Unfortunately, Titanium Backup may not support multi-users properly, causing the double installation issue. Try enabling "multi-user" related settings in Titanium Backup and your root tool.

I have found a solution. It's not a very good solution, but a solution nonetheless for my purposes.

Use the "Pen Window" mod to allow free floating re-sizable windows.

God Mode

Device Information:

Manufacturer: Swipe

Model Name: Swipe Elite Plus

Android Version: 5.0.2

Operating System: Freedom O.S (built on top of Android 5.0.2)

Location: Chennai, India

Hi @oasisfeng

I am a Greenify Donation Package user and I am planning to install Island, the only purpose being to Freeze system apps that are waking up very very often (like Google Play Store, Google Play Music, YouTube, Google Maps, etc).

So, if my understanding is correct, I believe I should be good to go as long as I am able to use only the God mode.

However, when I open Island, the app says:

"Sorry, the required "Multi-User" feature is not supported on this device"

In addition, since my device is a custom Android 5.0.2, it does not come encrypted either.

So, my only workaround seems to be to setup Island manually.

Question 1:

Since my only requirement is to freeze apps, is it possible for me to setup and use only the God mode? (without needing to setup the normal mode later).

If your answer is No, which one should I proceed to setup first, God mode or Normal mode? Should I still proceed with setting up the God mode first? (given my device's limitations as mentioned above)

Also, to quote two of your posts,

Question 2:

In my Android 5.0.2, in the system Settings app, I don't have an option called Users. I only have an option called Accounts, which has accounts like Google, etc.,. listed inside of it. Since my device does NOT list a Guest User like you have pointed out above, should I remove all accounts, including my primary Google account, before I proceed to manually setup God mode?

I see that you have mentioned to remove only users (and not accounts), but I am wondering if I should instead remove all accounts as my device is not listing any USERS.

Install/Clone Filemanager and Gallery to Island!

If you are rooted you can also access your Island Storage with an Explorer that supports root access:

/storage/emulated/0/ (Mainland)

/storage/emulated/10/ (Island)
[Android Apps and Games] ebautista:
Not specific to device. All devices I used have this issue.

Hi, i dont know if this is the right thread to report this. Most of the custom roms i am using have dark theme in it. The problem i encounter when i enable the dark is that the notification of the app in island have dark text also. I even tried enable the root to island and install substratum in the island. But still no success cause substratum is not working in island also.

So my problem is dark text in dark theme.
[Android Apps and Games] akpe:
I just found a solution/workaround for this. For apps which crash when being cloned by Island, like Twitter or Tinder, I just used the Play Store in Island to download them. Apps work perfectly in Island without crashing and of course they can also be frozen using Greenify.

[MENTION=4376588]oasisfeng[/MENTION] I suppose that method (downloading from Island's Play Store) does not interfere with Island's operation, right? Furthermore, is there any drawback of just downloading the apps we want from Island's Play Store instead of directly cloning them?
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
Thanks for your valuable feedback. I guess it's the new App Bundle deployment went online on Google Play Store. I'm working on a fix.
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
1. Yes, you can just set up Island in God mode only, and create the separate Island space any time later.

2. You need to remove both all accounts and all users before setting up God mode if your device is not rooted. Some device models may have Users section positioned elsewhere, you need to find that in the system Settings. (or it's nowhere if your device does not support multi-users at all)
[Android Apps and Games] Sivabhaskar:
God Mode with Greenify Deep Hiberation

@oasisfeng Thank you for replying

Okay. For now, my requirement is only to freeze system apps using Greenify's Deep Hibernation option . Is it a must to create the separate island space (later) for God mode to work? Meaning, can I use God mode alone, without ever setting up the normal mode (even later)?

Okay. My device does not have the Users section anywhere under System Settings. It is non-rooted and is also not encrypted. Also, when I open Island as of now, it says:

"Sorry, the required Multi-User feature is not supported on this device"

So, it looks like my device does not support multi-users at all. So, this would mean I could proceed setting up the God mode after removing all accounts. Correct?

I have no knowledge of even how Island works in God mode, as I am still waiting for Oasisfeng's reply to my earlier questions above on installing Island (God Mode alone!) in my fairly old (2016 make) Android 5.0.2 device! :)

However, since he seems to be unavailable at the moment, I performed a Google Search for you, and found a post where Oasis himself has answered another member who had the same question as yours. It is on page 49. Here is a link to that post. In case if it does not work, you might want to read along from that page to find out if the OP of that question ran into any issues after following Oasis' instructions on that post.

2 then uninstall island app, you are done.

If you forgot 1 just reinstall island and go to 1

Hello,

I tried to first install Island 2.9.3 on a rooted and unencrypted Android 5.0.x device. Seems I fit the prerequisites.

Manual configuration with ADB went fine with the provided instruction on page one.

However when I try to clone an application within the Island app, I am receiving an error message telling me about a permission issue, something about the app wanting to run as user 0 when it is asked to be from user 10 (island).

The error message vanish so fast I cannot really have time to read it and I cannot find it in my notification logs.

Where could I find the application log to be able to post a more explicit error log or does that sound like something that was posted before? Sorry I did not read the 100+ pages only the first dozens.

Upgrading to v3.0.6 did not fix my issue or solved my problem.

Edit2

: SOLVED (plz read bellow)

Thank you very much.

Regards.

Edit1

:

Ok I tried to uninstall everything and start over. Not sure if it matters or not but I cannot get the first two adb commands without using a rooted shell first even if they are supposed not to require root no?

Without a doubt I am missing something here. Please help if you can.

Edit2

:

I kept on trying and trying and googling trying to solve my issue.

First of all I found a new command on OP website which was not in first page tutorial and that was needed apparently for my version of Android 5.0.x.

However it was not working still, was still getting that permission denied error mentioned above.

Then while I was playing with the app, I went on reading about the File Shuttle page I came across the permission line.

It looked similar to what I was seeing on my error message when trying to clone an app.

I compared and indeed was the same permission the app was requesting when cloning.

So I granted the permissions with the above line intended for File Shuttle, and it fixed it.

I can now clone apps from within the Island environment.

I am sharing this if some people are still on Android 5.0.x on some of their devices as they may need it.

Cheers!
