Summary Of Using Android Clone App Application Shelter
After a period of use, summarizing the shortcomings of Shelter
2024-10-09
Introduction to Shelter
Shelter is a Free and Open-Source (FOSS) app that leverages the "Work Profile" feature of Android to provide an isolated space where you can install or clone apps.
Issues
Since this is a personal open-source project, we shouldn’t expect it to be perfect. Here are some issues encountered during use, without rigorous testing, just for reference:
- There is a significant high foreground-CPU usage when using map applications for navigation in the work profile, visibly rapidly battery draining.
- Some applications' activity in the work profile automatically close when switching back to them, even if setting locked.
Conclusion
Regardless, Shelter is quite good for running some non-continuous, non-payment-related applications (like Twitter).
