General Discussion / Android Work Profile and Sandboxing Apps

« on: March 20, 2022, 03:44:18 am »

Does anybody here have any experience with Android Work Profile and any of the sandboxing apps out there? 

The reason I ask is because my current employer has a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program instead of handing out a company-provided mobile like my previous employer.  I am used to carrying two devices, but I have been entertaining the thought of carrying one device with 2 sim cards (possibly the Astro Slide.)

So far, I have found the Island app in the Google Play Store and Shelter in f-droid.  I'm not sure if there are others out there or which is the better one to use.  I just installed Shelter on my Gemini wifi running the stock OS that it came with (Android 7.x) and have not done much testing yet.

Has any of you had any experience with Android apps that uses work profile to separate personal apps and data from work on the same devices?  Does it really work and keep things separate ?  Are there any things I should look out for with having work and personal on the same device?

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!

Zaurus - Hardware discussion / SL-3100 MicroDrive to CF mod

« on: September 21, 2019, 07:16:19 pm »

This was probably discussed way back...does anybody know if it is possible to swap out the SL-3100 MicroDrive with a Compact Flash Drive?  I did this way back with a Palm LifeDrive, which also has a MicroDrive.  
Anybody know how difficult this is or if there are things to look out for?

Thanks,
