I’m not an Android user but wouldn’t it be easy to just have it mount some other volumes on the filesystem when the duress passcode is entered? In Linux land I’m thinking of
/home/<username>but there are probably far more paths to mount.This
And along with wiping the private data on the old volume, the new "duress" one should plausibly look like a boring user's actual phone-- slop family pics, Facebook, etc
