All apps I tried in Island stopped with fc immediately after starting them.

Only Google Play Store and Contacts works flawlessly in Island.

Any hints what I can try to make other apps work in Island?
[Android Apps and Games] soraxd:
Hello, loving this app, I have 2 questions though.

1. is there a way to make the apps appear in the recent apps list?

2. how exactly do I kill an app, as I cannot swipe it away from recent apps since it doesn't appear there?
[Android Apps and Games] Roomba:
Heyo, thanks! I've been using Island for, what would be quite a few months now. Everything working perfectly!

I seem to have an issue with WhatsApp cloned in the Island.

The app overall works, I can send pictures and files and whatnot. However any files or pictures I receive just refuse to download. I've set file permissions for Whatsapp, however it still issues.

Are there any more system apps I need to copy over to the Island for it to work properly?

more information for fixing bootloop

I got to this app by getting it recommended from Greenify. None of the warnings I've seen on the homepage or in this post were presented to me which would have kept me from intalling it on my only cellphone.

And after activating Godmode I got stuck in a bootloop which I eventually fixed by deleting the

/data/system/device_owner_2.xml

file.

Could you probably add this to the website or Troubleshooting-FAQ? Would have saved me a lot of time.

Storage shuttle not work

I clicked the folder icon in the action bar of Island app, and then two toasts were displayed in order:

"You're using this app in your work profile"

"Storage shuttle is activated. You can now select files outside Island from apps within."

The stock file manager did not open. If I open the stock file manager (APP ID: com.android.documentsui) manually, I can only access the storage of its own space (Mainland/Island).

Storage shuttle not work (2)

I tested again with my another phone: Nokia 6 (TA-1003), Stock Android 7.1.1, non-rooted. Island version 2.6 in Normal Mode (non-God Mode).

This time, when I clicked the folder icon in the action bar of Island app, the file manager is opened, but I can only access the storage of Island. Thank you, [MENTION=4376588]oasisfeng[/MENTION]!

I know it's really early, but I wanted to document that Island seems to no longer work on Android P preview 1. A toast pops up saying "Island detected issues with API compatibility" after setting up the default work profile and the main application no longer launches properly. I'm sure this has to do with P no longer allowing access to undocumented APIs, but I'd be happy to provide a logcat!
[Android Apps and Games] rmittal:
I have Island version 2.6 installed on my Moto G5 Plus running Android 7.0

From last few days I was getting Google play services for instant apps has stopped error.

When I used the feedback button to report this error I came to know that the error is from within Island (Wok profile icon). I then uninstalled Google play services for instant apps.

However now I am getting Google play services has stopped error within the Work profile managed by Island every few minutes.

I am currently on version 12.2.18 of Google play services auto updated on 08/03/18.

It's there anyway to fix this.

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] rmittal:
My Google Play Services has auto updated to 12.2.21 but still getting the errors. I have disabled Google Play Services inside Island as a temporary solution and it has stopped the errors but Island is giving me warning that the service is critical and needs to be unfrozen.

Please provide a fix ASAP.

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
If you could provide logcat or crash information, we may be able to find out the cause. If you are unfamiliar about logcat capturing, please follow the following instructions instead:

In the "app stopped" dialog, click "report" button to open feedback dialog, where you can write something before sending. Don't click send, but the "system information" link in the above area, to open detailed information dialog about the crash, find and click the "stacktrace" entry there, scroll to the end and capture a screenshot. That's what we need.
[Android Apps and Games] rmittal:
Attached the screenshot.

I would like to mention that after the latest update of Google Play Services. Error dialog box comes and immediately goes away without giving me time to click the feedback button. I needed to keep pressing on the screen where the error dialog box was appearing to be able to choose send feedback option.

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
On some devices, you may need to manually grant permission via ADB to use the storage shuttle:

pm grant com.oasisfeng.island android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
That's the right place to take the screenshot. But I'm afraid it's not complete. I forgot to mention that, sometimes the stack trace is too big to fit in one screenshot, you may need to capture more information above that (up until something like "caused by" or the top)

If you could manage to copy the whole stack trace, that'll be very helpful.

[Android Apps and Games] platway:
Thank you, oasisfeng! It works now!
[Android Apps and Games] soraxd:
does anybody know what determines why on some phones Island apps show up in recent apps, but on others it does not?

My Note 4 shows Island apps in the recent apps, so i can quickly switch between them, but on my Note 8, the Island app gets minimized into the top left corner and disappears. I have to go to my home screen and click the Island app each time I want to switch between it.

Is it some Note 8 work profile thing I don't know about? it's annoying and I'd like to make it appear in recent apps normally if possible.

[Android Apps and Games] rb87:
Could you please provide instruction how exactly activate this function: "pm grant com.oasisfeng.island android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS". Because when I connecting the phone and activate ADB services trough "adb devices" it shows my phone in list but when I put "pm grant com.oasisfeng.island android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS" it says "'pm' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file."
[Android Apps and Games] mondohow:
Before executing such (advanced?) commands on your device you should really learn exactly what adb is and how to run adb/shell commands.

There are two ways to run the command. From the command prompt on your PC:

1: adb shell <hit enter>

This gives you an interactive Linux command-line shell/prompt on your device. You can then enter the relevant "pm grant xxxxx" command.

2: adb shell command – This runs the specified shell command on your device.

i.e: adb shell pm grant xxxxx <hit enter>

I'd like to know this as well. I installed magisk on island and tried Titanium backup but don't have root access. do we have to run a similar "adb shell pm grant" command from previous posts to give island apps access to root?

so this has been asked before, but never answered. does anyone know why on newer Samsung phones (like the Note 8) the Island apps won't show up in recent apps, but instead get minimized to the upper lefthand corner?

surely this is the work of some Samsung app that could just be disabled, anyone know what it might be?

EDIT: So I decided on another route since this one wasn't working and I haven't heard back from anyone. I flashed Lineage 14.1. Was able to launch Island instantly without a hitch (minus the bad April fool's joke from Lineage about mining coins with your phone, so not Island's fault). Seems to be working well but only time will tell.

Prior to flashing, I did find a user's response about managed profiles here and he said to run this code:

adb shell dpm set-profile-owner --user <user id> com.oasisfeng.island/.IslandDeviceAdminReceiver

I ran that and it said something to the effect of file not found.

----------------------------------------------------------- /edit -----------------------------------

Hi, I've been searching this thread and using Google for the past 4-5 days now to see if I can figure this out without having to ask for help but at this point...I need help.

I'm running:

Note 3

Stock - 5.0

Rooted

TWRP

Developer mode + usb debugging enabled

Security > Device admins - Island is checked

I keep getting user cannot be created and I get no error or confirmation when I run setprop fw.max_users 10. Below is an example of what I've tried just now so you can see what's happening (through ADB). I've also tried it through a terminal app with the same result.

My apologies if this inquiry has been answered before, I have searched and maybe used the wrong keywords that would have given me the correct answer. I didn't want to come in here asking for help without trying to figure it out on my own (best way to learn anyway). I'm not proficient with ADB or linux commands. I almost think the user(s) have to be reset or something, but again, Idk. Thank you in advance.

Multiple Island possible

Hi,

Are multiple Islands supported. what I want to ask is can I create more than 1 Island. Say 2 or more. If yes then how.
[Android Apps and Games] 29988122:
Island is a fantastic implementation of android apps intent-blocking!

If you have enough time, maybe the deep sleep options can be somehow re-implemented?

Like, the unfreeze shortcut on desktop maybe not enough, for example I was using folder organizer to categorize my apps, and island doesn't support the app.

I did purchased greenify, and thank you!

island was working on my S8 "Nougat" after update to "oreo" and restore the phone, now when launch island for the first time the app ask me to delete work profile from Accounts, and I don't have any work profile on my device!
[Android Apps and Games] mermaidkiller:
copying data from mainland to island ?

How can I copy app data from the mainland to the island ? Apps cloned are 'empty', i.e. without data from 'mainland'.

And the same question for internal data such as downloaded files, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
Looks like it's Android O. If so, just use the setup wizard in Island to create Island space. No need to use shell commands.
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
Not viable until Google add support for multiple work profile to future Android version.

I tested the experimental support half-baked into Oreo, it's not that stable for general use.
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
Launch shortcut created by Island can be put into folders in most launchers. If your stock launcher does not support folder, please consider one of the popular 3rd-party launcher. (e.g. Nova Launcher)

"Ice Box" (with Island support) is another choice which probably fits your need for app folder.
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
If possible, please run "pm list users" in ADB shell to find out the current work profile on your device.
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
Island provides "storage bridge" (as storage provider of Storage Access Framework) to let user grant storage access across the border securely. Click the folder icon in action bar to activate the storage bridge. Not all apps in the wild support Storage Access Framework. For file manager, "FX File Explorer" is recommended. (via "Connect to Storage" in its action overflow menu)

In some recent OTAs, you may need to manually grant permission to Island via ADB shell first:

pm grant com.oasisfeng.island android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS
[Android Apps and Games] nitinji:
Okay is it possible to create 2 clones in same island...
[Android Apps and Games] aelnyal:
Thank you..

I managed to delete the work profile after using "pm list users". Now Island working again.
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
Sorry, it's not possible in current Android version.
[Android Apps and Games] aelnyal:
after running Island, I found the app has disabled my keyboard "swift keyboard" and I'm only allowed to use S8 Samsung keyboard!

How can I continue using my preferred keyboard app again and is this the only privilege Island taking control or Island will disable other features without any control over me.
[Android Apps and Games] oasisfeng:
Island is not supposed to restrict the installed IME (keyboard). What are the detailed steps before the 2nd screenshot appears?
[Android Apps and Games] Flying Scotsman:
I'm not 100% sure if it's solely related to Island, but I thought I'd post about it anyway:

For some reason after I updated my OP5 to 8.1 (through Oxygen OS 5.1.0) - any app which I have in an island (mainly PoGo) can't seem to find the GPS anymore. It's behaving as if Island is only giving it the GPS data, and not the other location data (like nearby cell towers or wifi networks) like it did before. High-Accuracy is enabled and PoGo (in this case) works fine outside of the Island but can never find my location when in an Island. It worked fine under 8.0 which is strange.

Is this related to a change in 8.1 and/or the Play Services for 8.1 (as it was updated at the same time as when I updated to 8.1) or is it something simple like a permission wasn't granted properly for getting the location data after I updated via OTA?

*Edit* - Seems Island isn't remembering any user data on Island apps either. I keep having to redownload app data over and over. Tried setting the storage permission via ADB Shell but no dice.
[Android Apps and Games] killerz298:
My office is now using Airwatch so I can get corp email on my personal phone. The permissions are crazy including the ability to wipe the phone remotely. I assume there is no way this software would run within the Island right?

[Android Apps and Games] droidbot1337:
why would you consent to this?? its your personal phone. if companies want you to perform work related mobile tasks they are supposed to provide a company phone. i would decline and probably look into your work handbook for ****ery.

your personal phone is your private property and no one has the right to look into it. if they wont provide a company phone i suggest you buy a cheap throwaway smart phone.
[Android Apps and Games] killerz298:
I'm debating activating the hotspot and using my backup phone for the company emails.

I just discovered this same problem on my S9. Gboard is restricted by administrator work profile (Island).

I've only had Island set up for a few days. I added one app to it (eBay) and also disabled notifications for island so it would stop showing on my lock screen. Can't think of anything else.

Before I uninstall/reinstall, are there any logs I should grab or things I should check?
[Android Apps and Games] belderiver:
First off, thank you so much for this awesome app! So I setup Island on my Xperia Z2 running on stock Marshmallow firmware. Island duplicates some of the apps by default and among them is the Settings App. Only problem is when it does that, it creates a separate configuration for it, like Auto-Update Xperia apps.. The Battery Optimization I leave toggled off but it's activated on the clone one. I cannot seem to find where I can access that "clone" Settings for the life of me. Any insight is very much appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] Veronezzi:
Good night to everyone.

Guys, I'm having a doubt about the app, nothing really important, just a curiosity... I used the app some time ago and I remember that right after it was set, Island cloned some system apps and placed their shortcuts at my drawer ( marked with a briefcase on top of the shortcuts ). The apps were the following 4: Chrome + Contacts + Documents/Downloads + Play Store.

Today I reinstalled Island using the newest apk and now just 2 apps were placed at my drawer: Chrome and Play Store. So I'm curious to know if this is a bug or is the normal behavior from the new version. I'm gonna upload 2 screenshots to illustrate my doubt:
[Android Apps and Games] Jovanaar:
I am also having trouble with Swiftkey and Island. Island is restricting the use of SwiftKey. The only solution is to delete the Workprofile. Any work arounds?
[Android Apps and Games] Veronezzi:
Nevermind people... I "solved" it...

Strangely, the "missing" icons weren't there because I reset my phone and started it without any SIM card. After I inserted one, and rebooted my device, the "missing" icons for contacts and for documents/downloads appeared at my drawer. :)

Hi The ISLAND app is amazing. I found out something interesting.... I installed this app, Ice Box:
