Here is a video we have explaining the use of the free Calculator Hidden Space App .... enjoy.

Note: This requires the Secure Spaces ROM flashed to make use of the Hidden Space feature

I know this is the Nexus 5 forum but Secure Spaces only has a thread here. Are there any plans to bring it to the newer Nexus devices?

We are working on porting to Marshmallow currently to support Nexus 5x and 6P, we will release this ROM when it is ready. Thanks for asking.

Thanks for such a speedy reply. I look forward to seeing more of it.

A quick question, is the virtualization used a Xen virtualization?

You really got my interest here, this looks really awesome. I just like to know, if there are some extra settings for customization included, or if this is pure stock.
Another thing is, that I like to use xposed with xprivacy - I doubt that xposed is working here, or?

HI driekus33 , we are not using Xen. We create separated spaces "virtual phones" using a combination of kernel mods (ecryptfs, pid namespaces etc) , framework mods and applications to achieve this. I will provide more technical details in this thread for those that are interested. Thanks for the question.

Hi schwarzlichtkind, I am not sure what you mean by extra settings - but we provide a way for you to divide your device into multiple spaces or "virtual phones" and also the ability to create a hidden space "virtual phone". You can push what ever apps you want into these spaces and customize based off of stock AOSP. Our ROM does not support xposed.

Hi zerosum0, Can you expand on your "Waste of time"? I think keeping a hidden space and a personal space with only a few important apps will help reduce the impact of memory. For example in your hidden space you may just have a set of Tor apps and in a personal space you might use this to try new games or apps you want to ensure do not get access to your personal data (contacts etc..). I am glad you like it on your Lenovo zuk 1. Thanks for the feedback.

I would also argue you no longer need Xprivacy. When you create a space this space is isolated from the owner space , mulit user data separation (and also encrypted using ecryptfs) , plus we have enabled pid namespaces in the kernel. Anything running in the additional space cannot access anything in the owner space (this includes contacts, sensitive data etc). You can also control the network access for this space as well using a number of exposed attributes. We have made this very easy for you to have strong and secure separation.
