Shot in the dark here, but has anyone used Island/Insular with #GrapheneOS in #Android ? (For those less familiar with it, Island/Insular is a tool by Oasis Feng that creates a custom work profile it manages to isolate apps installed within that profile. This way they don't get access to things most apps get access to on the host system -- even the stuff that doesn't have to ask for permission generally. Though there are a few things the work profile can still see.)
I'm having an issue that stuff I'm installing inside the island is disappearing after a while (specifically I guess after a reboot?) This doesn't occur in any other "ROM" I've used, so I think possibly it's related to the custom installer #GrapheneOS uses.
Anyone have any experience with this?
EDIT: Found a workaround.
To be clear, I have not had this issue with any of the other custom ROMs I've run. Of course that means LineageOS, but also /e/os and one other I've forgotten the name of just off the top of my head.
I want to switch to GrapheneOS since it offers a few security exras like an automatic reboot and a bit more permission control and such even though my phone is in the long term support only list now. (Eg just major security updates and that's all I get.)
BTW, a few apps show up fine. F-Droid and a few others. I may have to install in the mainland and then clone to install stuff that works, but a few apps I tried that with disappeared. (Maybe because I originally installed them from within the island first?) EDIT: Just realized, it may be the things that are in both that always show up.
That's it.
I still see one of the apps that disappears after a reboot if I install in the mainland and then disable (but not uninstall) it on the mainland.
Sure is a messy way to do it though. There has to be a better way.
