Features Of Universal Installer

Sowad

Install


  • Multi-format — .apk.apks.xapk.apkm with split APK handling (via Ackpine)
  • Package preview — App name, icon, version, package, size, min/target SDK, supported ABIs, languages, permissions, OBB count, split count — shown in a bottom sheet before you commit
  • Three local pick modes — Find automatic (scans device storage), Browse packages (APK/XAPK/APKS/APKM only), Browse all files
  • Remote download — Paste a URL, download package directly. Files land in /sdcard/Download/UniversalInstaller/ with their Content-Disposition name so they're easy to re-find in any file manager
  • Download history — Every download is logged; re-install later, copy the source URL, or delete from the dedicated history screen
  • Intent handling — Open APK/XAPK files from Chrome downloads, Gmail attachments, Telegram, or any file manager — even when the URL has no extension

OBB support


  • Bundle-embedded OBBs — XAPK/APKM/APKS archives containing .obb files are auto-detected and copied to Android/obb/<package>/ after the APK installs
  • Standalone attach — Pick a base APK, then attach one or more .obb files via the preview sheet; they're installed alongside
  • Runs in a foreground worker — OBB copy survives app closure, with progress on the notification shade
  • Three write strategies — Falls back in order based on what the device permits:Direct I/O (pre-Android 11)
  • Shizuku (shell UID can write to any app's OBB dir on modern Android)
  • SAF tree grant (user grants access to Android/obb/<pkg>/ once per package; reused on subsequent installs)

Security


  • VirusTotal integration — Auto SHA-256 hash lookup on every picked file; if VirusTotal doesn't know the file yet, optionally upload it for a full multi-engine scan (supports files up to 650 MB via VirusTotal's large-file endpoint)
  • Clear verdict — See engine counts (malicious / suspicious / harmless / undetected) before you install

Shizuku & Root power-user features


When Root access or Shizuku is enabled, unlocks:

  • Silent install / uninstall — No system confirmation prompt
  • Replace existing, Allow downgrade, Grant all requested permissions, Allow test packages, Bypass low target SDK block, Install for all users
  • Set install source — Spoof the installer package name (Google Play, Aurora, F-Droid, Amazon, Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi presets, or custom) so apps with "installed from Play Store" checks accept your sideload

Sync & Share (LAN File Server)


  • Built-in HTTP server — Share and manage your packages across a local Wi-Fi network from any browser
  • Web dashboard — Download APKs straight to your PC or upload new packages directly to your phone
  • Live tracking — Real-time progress updates visible inside the app as files transfer
  • PIN security — Set an optional 4–8 digit PIN code to restrict local access to your shared folder
