What is Universal Installer?
Universal Installer is a modern Android package manager that handles what the default installer can't — split APKs, bundled archives with OBB data, silent installs, and downloads from URLs. All wrapped in a clean Material 3 UI.
Supported Formats
- APK — Standard Android packages
- APKS — Split APK bundles
- XAPK — Compressed split bundles (APKPure format) with OBB
- APKM — Split bundles (APKMirror format)
Install From Anywhere
- Local file picker — Three modes: auto-scan device storage, browse packages only, or browse all files
- Remote download — Paste a URL; the package lands in Download/UniversalInstaller/ with its real filename, visible in any file manager
- Download history — Re-install from history, copy source URLs, manage files without digging through file managers
- Chrome / Gmail / Telegram integration — Open downloaded APKs from any source, even when the URL has no extension
Preview Before Installing See app name, icon, version, package, file size, min/target SDK, supported CPU architectures, languages, permissions, split count, and OBB count — all before you commit.
OBB Support
- Bundled OBBs inside XAPK/APKM are detected and copied automatically to Android/obb/
- Standalone .obb files can be attached to any APK via the preview sheet (great for apps split across multiple sources)
- Runs as a foreground worker with progress notification — keeps copying even if you leave the app
- Smart fallback: direct I/O ? Shizuku ? SAF (per-package folder grant)
Shizuku Power User Features With Shizuku enabled:
- Silent install / uninstall (no system prompts)
- Replace existing, allow downgrade, grant all permissions, allow test/debug packages, bypass low target SDK block, install for all users
- Set Install Source — Spoof the installer package (Google Play, Aurora, F-Droid, Amazon, Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, or custom) so apps with "installed from Play Store" checks accept your sideload
App Manager
- Full list with APK size, install date, last-used time
- Sort by Name / Size / Installed / Last used — ascending or descending
- Batch select via long-press
- Filter FAB for quick sort/filter; long-press FAB to scroll to top
- Uninstall logs with success/failure reason
Sync & Share (LAN File Server)
- Built-in HTTP server to share and manage your packages across a local network (Wi-Fi)
- Beautiful web dashboard to download APKs to PC or upload new ones directly to your phone
- Real-time download progress and transfer tracking directly in the app
- Optional PIN protection to secure your file sharing sessions
Privacy
- No internet required for core functionality
- VirusTotal scanning is optional and uses your own API key
- No ads, no tracking, no data collection
- Fully open source — inspect the code yourself
Device Utilities
- Storage card on the Install screen — free / total space at a glance
- Install history with per-app success/failure and error reasons
- Progress notifications for downloads, installs, and OBB copy
