Description
InstallerX is a modern and functional Android app installer.
It is an installation program that can replace the system’s default installer on many customized Chinese ROMs, which often provide a less-than-satisfactory installation experience.
Besides replacing the native installer, it supports multiple installation formats: APK, APKS, APKM, XAPK, and ZIP packages containing multiple APKs. It also enables batch installation of multiple APKs and offers a wide variety of features, including installation dialogs, installation via the notification bar, automatic installation, installer declaration, custom installation settings, post-installation dex2oat optimization, blocking installation of specific apps, and automatic deletion of installation files after use.
Android Version Support
- Full support for Android SDK 34–36 (Android 14–16).
- Limited support for Android SDK 24–33 (Android 7.0–13), with a request to report any issues via the issues page.

- Batch installation of multiple APKs via sharing, featuring the same deduplication and intelligent selection.
- Support for APKS/APKM/XAPK files with automatic selection of the best module to install, both from notifications and the installation dialog.
- Ongoing testing for installing APKs with architectures different from the device (e.g., ARM on x86) using the system runtime.
- Testing app downgrades with or without data retention on some Android 15+ systems.
- App installation blocking by package blacklist (under development).

Common Issues and Solutions
- Shizuku issues: limited support on Chinese ROMs, possibly due to permission or system restrictions. Use Shizuku if possible.
- Installer blocking: due to package name changes, a modified version of the blocking tool is required.
- "No Content Provider" errors: may result from functions hiding the app list, requiring whitelist exceptions.
- Suggestions for HyperOS and other custom systems to resolve system app installation, blocking, or notification management issues.
- Recommendations for background app management to ensure proper installation via notifications.
Usage and Development
- The development version may be unstable; features are subject to change or removal.
- Source code is hosted on separate branches for stable, dev, and alpha versions, with automated CI/CD builds.
- Distributed in two variants: online (with network features) and offline (without network permissions, for users who prefer fully offline installations).
- All improvements and changes are released under the GPL-3.0 license, with a commitment to code transparency.
