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
