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)

Root & Shizuku Power User Features
With Root access or 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

Security

- VirusTotal hash lookup runs automatically on every picked file
- Optional full upload + multi-engine scan for unknown files (up to 650 MB)
- Clear verdict with malicious / suspicious / harmless / undetected engine counts

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

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

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).

Libraries:

Android Support v4 (Development Framework)
The Android Support Library is not actually a single library, but rather a collection of libraries that can roughly be divided into two groups: compatibility and component libraries. For details, please see Understanding the Android Support Library.
AppCompat (Utility)
support newer Android features on older Android versions.
Jetpack Compose (Development Framework)
a framework to define UIs programmatically with composable functions that describe its shape and data dependencies.
Androidx Core (Utility)
a static library that you can add to your Android application in order to use APIs that are either not available for older platform versions or utility APIs that aren't a part of the framework APIs.
DataStore (Development Aid)
stores data asynchronously, consistently, and transactionally, overcoming some of the drawbacks of SharedPreferences.
Android Emoji2 Compat (UI Component)
core library to enable emoji compatibility in Kitkat and newer devices to avoid the empty emoji characters.
Androidx Graphics (Utility)
leverages graphics facilities across multiple Android platform releases.
Lifecycle (Utility)
perform actions in response to a change in the lifecycle status of another component, such as activities and fragments.
ProfileInstaller (Utility)
AndroidX library that enables libraries to prepopulate ahead of time compilation traces to be read by ART.
Room (Utility)
a persistence library that provides an abstraction layer over SQLite to allow for more robust database access while harnessing the full power of SQLite.
Startup (Utility)
AndroidX library to implement a straightforward, performant way to initialize components at app startup.
Android Jetpack VersionedParcelable (Utility)
Provides a stable but relatively compact binary serialization format that can be passed across processes or persisted safely.
Jetpack WindowManager Library (Utility)
enables application developers to support new device form factors and multi-window environments. The library provides a common API surface for API versions 14 and later. Especially provides additional functionality on foldable devices.
WorkManager (Utility)
an API that makes it easy to schedule deferrable, asynchronous tasks that must be run reliably .
libsu (Utility)
library that provides APIs to a Unix (root) shell.
Ktor (Development Framework)
framework for quickly creating connected applications in Kotlin with minimal effort.
Shizuku (Utility)
help normal apps using system APIs directly with adb/root privileges through a Java process started with app_process.
AndroidHiddenApiBypass (Utility)
library to bypass restrictions on non-SDK interfaces.
Shizuku API (Utility)
using system APIs directly with adb/root privileges from normal apps through a Java process started with app_process.
