Island
Island is an Android work profile manager and application sandbox. It provides a system for running parallel instances of the same application to support multiple user accounts and creates isolated environments to limit application access to the rest of the system.
The project incorporates a device policy controller to manage system-level settings and restrictions. It includes utilities to halt all background activity for specific applications to conserve system resources and allows for the removal of application visibility from the user interface.
The system also handles independent network routing for isolated profiles, directing traffic separately from the main system profile to enhance privacy and control.
Features
- Application Sandboxing Clones - Creates isolated copies of installed applications to allow running multiple accounts on a single device.
- Application Sandboxing - Creates isolated sandboxes using Android work profiles to limit application access to the rest of the system.
- Android Component Sandboxes - Provides an isolated environment that sandboxes Android applications and routes their network traffic independently.
- Android App Virtualization - Creates isolated runtimes to execute multiple independent instances of the same Android app for different accounts.
- Android Application Cloners - Provides a system for running parallel instances of the same application to support multiple user accounts.
- Android Work Profile Managers - Creates isolated sandboxes on Android to run multiple app instances and manage privacy.
- Android App Isolation - Creates a separate profile to sandbox applications and limit their access to the rest of the system for better privacy.
- Device Owner - Implements the Android Device Owner role to manage system-level settings and restrictions through a privileged controller.
- Device Administration - Interfaces with Android device administration APIs to enforce restrictions and manage device-wide settings.
- User Profile Isolations - Creates secondary user profiles to partition application data and isolate system permissions from the primary user.
- Android Device Management - Uses device owner capabilities to control system level settings and restrictions through a policy controller.
- Process Freeze Controls - Suspends application processes and background services to stop resource consumption until manually resumed.
- Multi-Instance Package Duplication - Duplicates application packages across different user profiles to allow multiple concurrent accounts on one device.
- Android App Freezers - Provides a utility that halts all background activity for specific Android applications to save system resources.
- Android Network Routing - Applies independent network configurations to isolated profiles to control how specific apps access the internet.
- Profile-Based Network Routing - Directs traffic for apps within a specific profile through a separate network configuration independent of the main system.
- Android Resource Management - Stops all background activity for specific applications to prevent battery and memory usage until manually resumed.
- Profile-Based Routing - Implements independent network routing for isolated profiles to enhance privacy and control.
- Host Privacy Protection Mechanisms - Hides applications and isolates data within containers to prevent unauthorized visibility and leakage.
- Background Activity Suspension - Provides utilities to halt all background activity for specific applications to conserve battery and memory.
- Application Visibility Controls - Provides the ability to remove application visibility from the user interface to improve privacy.
- Launcher Inventory Modifiers - Removes application shortcuts and visibility by modifying the launcher's view of specific user profile inventories.
- Software Management - Isolates and clones apps for privacy and parallel usage.
