  From the GitHub README:

  "If you use the VMOS Pro Android 5.1 ROM for internal use, commercial profit or uploading to the app market without authorization, we will collect evidence and report to the police (copyright infringement) or prosecute. Anyone who reports unauthorized or illegal use of VMOS Pro Android 5.1 ROM code to develop products will be rewarded upon verification. We will keep the identity of the whistleblower confidential!"

  Inconsistent punctuation; grammar mistakes; copyright @2019 notice on the bottom.

  I do not trust this a single bit.

  I'd like to share an alternative to this app, called [Virtual Master](https://virtualmaster.app). It allows for Android-in-Android virtualization, with near native performance. Supports virtualizing up to Android 11, and is stable enough.

  Work profiles and user accounts are a thing on Android, I'm not sure why that's the first bullet point.

  I enjoy how on this website, the first panel has text styled to look like default times new roman, and the rest are styled with a helvetica-like

  I don't enjoy how a single scroll wheel tick moves an entire screen...

  Pretty funny seeing all the copyright warnings, can't help but wonder if anyone actually pays attention to those. You think using stuff like VMOS is even worth it when Android already has so many built-in features for separating accounts?
