Description
Android package installer supporting APK, XAPK, APKS, APKM, and the custom APKV encrypted format — with built-in app manager, backup, and silent install via root or Shizuku.
A minimal Android application for installing APK, XAPK, APKS, APKM, APKV, and ZIP packages, with a built-in app manager, backup, and uninstaller.
Features
Package Installation
Supports six package formats:
- APK: Standard Android package
- XAPK: APK with OBB expansion data or split APKs bundle
- APKS: Split APKs archive (SAI format)
- APKM: Split APKs archive (APKMirror format)
- APKV: Encrypted or plain split APKs archive (custom format, see APKV spec)
- ZIP: Generic ZIP archive containing APK split files
For split APK formats (XAPK, APKS, APKM, APKV, ZIP), individual splits can be selected or deselected before installation. APKM files marked as DRM-protected are rejected automatically. APKV files support optional password-based encryption and integrity verification via SHA-256 checksums.
Install Modes
Three installation modes are available:
- Normal — uses the standard Android package installer
- Root — installs silently using root access
- Shizuku — installs silently via the Shizuku service without requiring full root
App Manager
Browse all installed user apps with the ability to:
- View app details: version, SDK range, install and update dates, APK size, data directory, split count, and requested permissions
- Launch or open the system app info page
- Export the app as an .apkv archive
- Uninstall the app (supports Normal, Root, and Shizuku modes)
- Compute and copy the APK hash (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256)
Backup
Export any installed user app as an .apkv archive directly from the App Manager or the dedicated Backup screen. Backups are saved to Documents/VInstall/Backups/ on external storage. Optional password-based encryption is supported when exporting.
Settings
- Install mode: Normal, Root, or Shizuku
- Theme: Light, Dark, or follow system
- Confirm before install: Show a confirmation dialog before installing
- Clear cache after install: Automatically remove temp files after installation
- Debug window: Show or hide the in-app log viewer
