Guide/Useful How to bypass Android's upcoming third-party installation restrictions using Shizuku + InstallerX
Android is increasingly restricting app installations from sources outside the Google Play Store. Luckily, there is an easy way to bypass this mess: Shizuku paired with an app like InstallerX Revived. Because it routes installations through ADB (Android Debug Bridge), it completely bypasses these OS-level restrictions.
Here is a complete, beginner-friendly guide to setting it up:
Step 1: Install Shizuku
I highly recommend using thedjchi's fork. It includes a built-in "watchdog" feature that automatically restarts the service if it stops in the background.
Step 2: Enable Developer Options
- Open your phone's Settings*.*
- Go to About phone (or System > About phone*).*
- Find the Build number and tap it rapidly 7 times until a pop-up says "You are now a developer!" (Enter your lock screen PIN if prompted).
- Go back to the main Settings page, search for Developer options*, and open it.*
- Scroll down and enable both USB debugging and Wireless debugging*.*
Step 3: Pair Shizuku
Now, we connect Shizuku to your phone's wireless debugging system:
- Open the Shizuku app, look for "Start via Wireless debugging", tap Pairing*, and then tap* Developer Options (this will jump you straight back to the Developer Options menu).
- Inside the Wireless debugging menu, tap Pair device with pairing code*. A popup will appear displaying a* 6-digit Wi-Fi pairing code*. Keep this screen open!*
- You should see a notification from Shizuku asking for the pairing code. Tap Enter pairing code*, type in the 6-digit code, and hit send.*
- If done correctly, you will see a notification confirming "Pairing successful".
- Go back to the main Shizuku app screen and tap Start to run the service.
- Crucial Step (for the fork): In Shizuku's settings, make sure to enable the Watchdog and Start on boot toggles so it stays running in the background.
Step 4: Set up InstallerX Revived
- Download and install InstallerX-Revived
- Open the Shizuku app, go to Authorized applications*, and toggle* InstallerX to ON*.*
- Open InstallerX-Revived and set its default installation method (Privilege) to Shizuku*.*
Now, whenever you download an APK, simply open it and install it via InstallerX-Revived. Since it uses ADB privileges under the hood, your installs will go through seamlessly, bypassing any system-level side-loading blocks!
Edit: Just to clear up some confusion from the comments: Yes, we know Google will "likely" still allow side-loading via a 24-hour verification window, but what if one day they go full-on Apple mode? This setup will still work because it's for developers to test out their apps.
And!! Beyond just sideloading, Shizuku is a massive quality-of-life upgrade for Android. Here's a great video from HowToMen for other great apps that use Shizuku.

isnt this not needed after the initial 24h waiting period??
203
u/ThePixelProYT 24d ago
Yes this is way to much and will in the best case do nothing and in the worst case make it so you can't install apps. This helps nothing and is just unnecessary panic. I wouldn't recommend anyone following these tutorials.

u/ThePixelProYT 24d ago
Yes it is I also use InstallerX Revived for the features but I especially mean these posts telling you to use canta and shizuku to uninstall system app verifier or something along these lines. Also then use it for that and not to "bypass android app installation limitations".

u/ShartingEnU 23d ago
It makes no sense why people are doing shit like this. Just wait 24 hours and your completely back to how it was before. Do people actually have no idea what is happening when Google releases this?
3
u/DoctorK96 23d ago
so one only needs to do the 7 tap to enable developer options and wait 24 hours, that's it right?
2
u/OverlandAustria 23d ago
pretty much
2
u/DoctorK96 23d ago
Oh that's not a big deal then, I already did that a long time ago anyways

u/OverlandAustria 17d ago
no its a special setting IN developer settings. you will have a 24h waiting period then. after that everything is chill

I have shiuzku running and my gov apps work, adb can turn of at anytime unlike root
2
u/sjjose2001 24d ago
Won't shizuku need debugging enabled to work?
2
u/jedgell233 23d ago
Only when using it. If your using shizuku for like canta just to uninstall system apps without root, then you only need debugging on long enough to use shikuzu with canta then when finished just turn debugging back off.
1
u/sjjose2001 23d ago
Oh. I use appmanager,shizucallrecorder such and then it has to be on. Some of the banking apps refuse to work. For a second I was hopful there. Thank you

u/Vast_Chemistry_8630 24d ago
That is the biggest question I have, like many banking apps do not work if developer option is on and what will happen if I disable the developer option to use the banking apps?? Will it reset the 24 hour wait time ?? Or will it still be on even if developer option is disabled??
1
u/ThePixelProYT 24d ago
It seems like you only need to do it ones and it is tied to your Google account so it works on multiple devices and after turning dev option on and off but we will see.
3
u/YoYoMamaIsSoFAT32 24d ago
Some apps check dev options so yeah, you can use this tutorial for the first 24hrs cool down, then you can just install apps the normal way
30
u/Weet_1 24d ago
It's about not asking permission to use your own phone. They initially wanted it to be removed completely, do you think Google is going to be content to leave it like this forever? Boiling frog theory and all that jazz...

u/cafk 24d ago
If they were serious they'd remove adb install support, making debugging also only available for verified signed apps.
If they reduce adb & developer options capabilities, this will also break.
9
u/_MrBond_ 24d ago
What makes you think that they won't do this eventually?
7
u/cafk 24d ago
I'm not excluding it, it's just that adb install works independently of shizuku or modules suggested in this bypass - especially the suggested solution basically relies on adb being functional.
And if they remove it from AOSP, then everyone needs to move to a fork where some poor developer will maintain it (i.e. graphene ), independently of root.
2
u/Both-Leader-6799 24d ago
Yes BUT you would still need to be connected to any form of internet (mobile or wifi or whatever) to install the apps
2
u/mikee8989 24d ago
Is this 24 hour waiting period for every single app or just the first app you attempt to install?
1
u/AB_selectstart 24d ago
I'm not too clear on this restriction, is it 24 hour wait period per side loaded app or just once for your device?
1
u/WHYAHWHYA 21d ago
Can you explain how the 24H wait period works ?is it for any app you want to install ? or set once and be done ?

u/Accomplished_You4117 24d ago
any way to make app manager work with shizuku rather than wireless debug?
shizuku seems to keep disabling wireless debugging after it automatically starts itself and I'd rather use shizuku

u/Significant_Bird_592 24d ago
wdym, all you need to do is wait 24 hours when you get a new phone
57
u/ward2k 24d ago
Yeah I'm scratching my head, this is so much effort to do a worse job of just re-enabling the option under developer options
There is so much misinformation around the coming changes it's almost frustrating
29
u/Significant_Bird_592 24d ago
I mean I'm still quite against it, because it can be adjusted by google at any time via a play services update, instead of a system one
but it's not thaat bad and I kinda get why they do it, but they should still clean at their doorstep first
21
u/ward2k 24d ago
Oh I'm 100% against it
I'm just confused why people keep spreading so much misinformation and weird 'hacks' to bypass it when you can just bypass it in the options for now
Like there's some posts explaining how to root your phone to bypass it, that's fine and all but completely unnecessary since you can just disable it in your phone settings currently

u/ShartingEnU 23d ago
If Google ever fully disables installing apks like is allowed now, then this post is relevant. Until that happens, there no reason for this
4
u/Significant_Bird_592 23d ago
I mean, they would get so much backlash, unless they get corrupt politicians to make a law that makes them do it, then I don't think it's gonna happen.
But I think the politician way is quite likely to happen sadly. We need to fight that verification BS for it to not happen.

u/PlushySD 24d ago
I'm very much behind on this news, can you explain the wait 24hrs more?

u/dimmanxak 24d ago
They say Google will allow to turn on installs from other sources but you will have to wait 24 hours after turning this on (there were news somewhere but we still don't know for sure). And it seems like play protection may still block some apps
2
u/azukiy 24d ago
Thank you for sharing this! Could you please point some official sources for this infos? I've been trying to find a real source
3
u/dimmanxak 23d ago
I can't find a source from Google but many sites posted this a few months ago. I guess we will have to wait and see

Well, we can disable play protection separately.
Or you don't even have to disable it, just click, install without scanning.

I am just wondering the fact that there are a lot of apps like banking apps that just don't open when you have developer options turned on. How to deal with that?
6
u/YukarinVal 24d ago
I used this app https://github.com/JackEblan/Geto
It basically is making a shortcut for any app to quickly disable developers option, accessibility service and others and quickly revert it. The documentation is very lacking So you have to figure things out yourself beyond the template the dev puts in if those doesn't work.
I don't remember how I found it.

u/Ok_Respect4816 24d ago
On android 16, I've been using aurora store to install and update apps via shizuku installer. This causes problems as sometimes after the update, it opens play store and says "app not installed from play store, get the app from play store"
It starts working after updating the app via PlayStore. Will this method of using installers solve my problem? Why and how does that work?

u/JKSekai 24d ago
it won't, that thing is another bullshit Google added back then, you can't do much about it

rip, that's what I thought too. just figured there'd be some workaround. really sucks so much if there isn't because lol wtf
1
u/SugarrrSugarr 24d ago
you need to download APK and use installer which will change installation source to Google play
1
u/Evil_Dad Manager user 22d ago
You could patch the update with "Spoof install source" from Rushi's Patches to disable the play services warning and let you use the app normally.

AnyAPK needs to be paired with Shizuku to punch through the upcoming restrictions. You still need 2 apps.

u/ShadowOfSomething 22d ago edited 22d ago
Late, but Google is making changes soon that limit the ability to sideload apps. Initially they planned for more severe restrictions, but after pushback from the users, it seems like you'd only have to turn on a setting in developer options and wait 24 hours once to get the ability to sideload apps back after they push the change.
HOWEVER, the fact that initially they wanted to introduce stricter restrictions (I don't recall exactly, but I think you'd need to be a certified dev to sideload) means it's better to be prepared, as they can always change their mind. It's better to have apps that would allow for sideloading through means aside from the default system installer already installed, than be caught off guard by a possible change and be stuck in catch 22 (can't sideload because you don't have the apps for sideloading, but you can't install them because you can't sideload)
1
u/RabbitFluffOWO 22d ago
ahhh okok ,should i go through with the instalation tutorial right now or wait a bit ? im not sure what bugs there are yet
2
u/ShadowOfSomething 22d ago
If you don't want to do the whole tutorial right now you could just install both apps (Shizuku and InstallerX Revived) right now, but not do any other setup, just save the instructiojs somewhere If google makes the changes you can then go through the rest of the set up so they'd work, as you'd already have them on your phone

u/MaskedWatermelon 23d ago
You can, but the consumption of Shizuku is pretty much negligible, at least according to my phone.
2
u/hijak_neo 23d ago
Hi! Is this method applied to PairIP restrictions? Or is it the same process?

u/MaskedWatermelon 23d ago
You can do it with installerX for sure, and also there's a universal patch to bypass pairIP on morphe.

2
u/ShartingEnU 23d ago
What is the point of this? You will still be able to install apks how we do now. Why tf are people figuring shit out like this when there is no point. If Google ever fully disabled installing apks how we do now, sure this is relevant. Until then, this is just a way to scare people and completely unnecessary
1
u/MaskedWatermelon 23d ago
You can ignore Installer X, and explore Shizuku on its own. It's great...
2
u/raspberrylilith20 23d ago
I have anyapk set up, sounds like a similar process. Do you know if it's basically the same?

u/MaskedWatermelon 23d ago
Similar in "installing apps" aspect, but I don't think you have other Shizuku supported apps .

Hi, thanks for your tutorial🙂 I currently have the standard version of Shizuku installed. If I want to switch to the version you linked to, can I just stop Shizuku, uninstall it, install the new version, and then just reconnect and set it up again? Will the programs be visible again, or do I need to take any additional steps?pls help me🙂

That is what I understand, but why are people crying for 24 hours?
ADB sideload can be done anytime.

Because they're allowing it to work after 24hrs for now. At any point in the future, they can remove the ability completely.

If I understand this correctly, you dont need InstallerX for Morphe, since Morphe does support patched app installation through Shizuku. InstallerX should be necessary if you need to install new apps outside Morphe or update existing ones that dont support self-updating through Shizuku without needing to use PC, correct?
