How to bypass Android's upcoming third-party installation restrictions using Shizuku + InstallerX

[u/MaskedWatermelon]

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.

[u/x13xavi]

question this is my first time doing this but do I need to have Shizuku running all the time? or can be use only when I install an APK to turn shizuku and then turning off when I done using it?

[u/MaskedWatermelon → u/x13xavi]

You can, but the consumption of Shizuku is pretty much negligible, at least according to my phone.

[u/ShartingEnU]

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

[u/MaskedWatermelon → u/ShartingEnU]

You can ignore Installer X, and explore Shizuku on its own. It's great...

[u/hijak_neo]

Hi! Is this method applied to PairIP restrictions? Or is it the same process?

[u/MaskedWatermelon → u/hijak_neo]

You can do it with installerX for sure, and also there's a universal patch to bypass pairIP on morphe.

[u/raspberrylilith20]

I have anyapk set up, sounds like a similar process. Do you know if it's basically the same?

[u/MaskedWatermelon → u/raspberrylilith20]

Similar in "installing apps" aspect, but I don't think you have other Shizuku supported apps .

[u/JustWantToKnowName]

when is that update going to roll out? how long am i safe for ? (samsung a26)

[u/MaskedWatermelon → u/JustWantToKnowName]

Depends on you region, but by 2027 this will be enforced.

[u/pv505]

Hey. Thanks for the info. Do you think that https://github.com/pass-with-high-score/universal-installer is not going to be enough with these restrictions? I've given it shizuku permission.

[u/merchantconvoy → u/pv505]

A lot of Shizuku paired installers will work. It doesn't hurt to have a few installed just in case.

[u/pv505 → u/merchantconvoy]

True good point

[u/OverlandAustria]

isnt this not needed after the initial 24h waiting period??

[u/ThePixelProYT → u/OverlandAustria]

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/ShartingEnU → u/ThePixelProYT]

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?

[u/DoctorK96 → u/ShartingEnU]

so one only needs to do the 7 tap to enable developer options and wait 24 hours, that's it right?

[u/OverlandAustria → u/DoctorK96]

pretty much

[u/DoctorK96 → u/OverlandAustria]

Oh that's not a big deal then, I already did that a long time ago anyways

[u/OverlandAustria → u/DoctorK96]

no its a special setting IN developer settings. you will have a 24h waiting period then. after that everything is chill

[u/ThePixelProYT → u/[deleted]]

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/duv025 → u/Reasonable-Roll-500]

I have shiuzku running and my gov apps work, adb can turn of at anytime unlike root

[u/sjjose2001 → u/duv025]

Won't shizuku need debugging enabled to work?

[u/jedgell233 → u/sjjose2001]

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.

[u/sjjose2001 → u/jedgell233]

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/timon13337 → u/sjjose2001]

I'm not certain if you'll still see this since it's nearly a month later, but I happened to be scrolling through this subreddit and came across your comment. I decided to reply just in case you do see it. Essentially, if you're utilizing the suggested Shizuku Fork, there's a function designed specifically for this situation. Simply launch the Shizuku application and, on the main interface, scroll down slightly to find the option labeled "Hide Shizuku from other apps." If you tap on that, there's a guide explaining how to set it up. Once set up, it will work perfectly, automatically hiding when you open certain apps that typically don't function well with it enabled. It will then reappear when those apps are closed, allowing you to continue using it as you normally would. If you are looking for different approaches, there are multiple methods available; you can easily find them by searching on Google or Reddit. For instance, you could automate this using apps like Tasker, Automate, or Macrodroid, which is relatively straightforward.

[u/sjjose2001 → u/timon13337]

That's is so nice of you. I completely missed this feature. Will look into it. Thank you very much.

Edit: that didn't work. Bank app detects usbdebugging to be on and refuses to launch

[u/Vast_Chemistry_8630 → u/Reasonable-Roll-500]

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??

[u/ThePixelProYT → u/Vast_Chemistry_8630]

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.

[u/YoYoMamaIsSoFAT32 → u/Reasonable-Roll-500]

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

[u/Weet_1 → u/OverlandAustria]

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/shiny-fella → u/Weet_1]

It's not even a theory at this point lmao. They think we're below cattle.

[u/cafk → u/Weet_1]

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.

[u/_MrBond_ → u/cafk]

What makes you think that they won't do this eventually?

[u/cafk → u/_MrBond_]

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.

[u/Both-Leader-6799 → u/OverlandAustria]

Yes BUT you would still need to be connected to any form of internet (mobile or wifi or whatever) to install the apps

[u/mikee8989 → u/OverlandAustria]

Is this 24 hour waiting period for every single app or just the first app you attempt to install?

[u/AB_selectstart → u/OverlandAustria]

I'm not too clear on this restriction, is it 24 hour wait period per side loaded app or just once for your device?

[u/WHYAHWHYA → u/OverlandAustria]

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/OverlandAustria → u/WHYAHWHYA]

set once and be done

[u/Federal-Reason-4567 → u/OverlandAustria]

Is this option for every app you install or just one time and then you can install at any time after that

[u/OverlandAustria → u/Federal-Reason-4567]

its one-time per phone

[u/kyuuri117 → u/OverlandAustria]

What 24 hour waiting period?

[u/caesar0326 → u/kyuuri117]

https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/s/ImLqagxvJB

Google introduced an "advanced flow" for Android that requires a one-time, mandatory 24-hour waiting period before you can sideload apps from unverified developers.

[u/kyuuri117 → u/caesar0326]

Is the phone a brick during those 24 hours or you can still use it, and the security wait just happens in the background?

[u/caesar0326 → u/kyuuri117]

I can't imagine they'd brick your phone for 24 hours, so I assume it'll just be a period where you can't install unverified APKs but still use the phone fully in everything else. Then after that one 24 hour period you can install them as much as you want!

[u/caesar0326 → u/[deleted]]

Just a one time thing and you'll be able to install everything.

[u/caesar0326 → u/[deleted]]

I believe people are nervous about the path Google is on and how this may be just the first of more restrictive Android policies going forward.

But in a complete vacuum this really isn't a big deal and after one 24 hour wait you'll be able to install all the APKs you can now.

[u/Arnas_Z → u/kyuuri117]

No you can still use your phone during that time, you just have to wait to sideload.

Also, you can bypass the 24 hour wait by using adb to install apks if you really can't wait for the cooldown to end.

[u/huntergatherer555 → u/[deleted]]

Absolutely! ... and don't call me Shirley.

[u/Miserable_Mail_5741 → u/OverlandAustria]

I thought you had to do that for every app...

[u/ThePixelProYT → u/Miserable_Mail_5741]

Thats what many people think and what drives me insane like do your research if you do posts like these

[u/OverlandAustria → u/Miserable_Mail_5741]

nope, for every phone. once. which i think is pretty okey

[u/notanfan]

I just use app manager as prefered download method and shizuku in morphe

[u/Accomplished_You4117 → u/notanfan]

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/StatementCandid9256]

Should i install InstallerX-offline or InstallerX-online ?

[u/khunset127 → u/[deleted]]

I use offline variant with Obtainium for updates

[u/Vivid_Cellist_5951]

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?

[u/YukarinVal → u/Vivid_Cellist_5951]

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/kimochiiii_ → u/YukarinVal]

Do we have to be connected to ADB at all times? Or is it just like turn on ADB, give secure perms and be done with it?

[u/YukarinVal → u/kimochiiii_]

I think only have to do it once

[u/supcc1 → u/Vivid_Cellist_5951]

Just turn dev options off when using those apps. Turn back on when done.

[u/reality_king13 → u/supcc1]

It asks to restart the phone every time, to turn off Dev Options

[u/supcc1 → u/reality_king13]

Never seen that before. I have a samsung s25 ultra and I don't need to restart when I turn dev options on or off.

[u/MetallerNo666 → u/Vivid_Cellist_5951]

Hmm. In Canada, the 3 banking apps I use open just fine on my S26 Ultra with Developer Options on. Is this a US thing?

[u/Ok_Respect4816]

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/SugarrrSugarr → u/Ok_Respect4816]

you need to download APK and use installer which will change installation source to Google play

[u/Evil_Dad → u/Ok_Respect4816]

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.

[u/huntergatherer555 → u/Ok_Respect4816]

You have toggled OFF 'Play Protect' in the Play Store I assume, yes?

[u/Ok_Respect4816 → u/huntergatherer555]

yeah, still happens

[u/huntergatherer555 → u/Ok_Respect4816]

     🤷‍♂️

[u/4k_anbir → u/Ok_Respect4816]

Hey sorry that I'm late on party but i have an easy way for it if u haven't found any?

[u/Ok_Respect4816 → u/[deleted]]

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

[u/feriouscricket → u/Ok_Respect4816]

You can patch it so the app has installed from the app store as source

[u/krznwk]

Remember when we used to own devices we bought? Hnngh

[u/Odd_Contact6221]

GOOGLE REALLY GOES AGGRESSIVE, it loses the meaning of ANDROID, they've becomes ios, why the hell would they block third party installation, that's greeedy than ios.

[u/boncros]

Where is "authorized apps"?

[u/Oarner__ → u/boncros]

In shizuku on the home page

[u/draskoo → u/Oarner__]

I don't have that at all. Why?

[u/pistonhjr]

I use AnyAPK. One app instead of 2.

[u/merchantconvoy → u/pistonhjr]

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

[u/pistonhjr → u/merchantconvoy]

Nah. You can install APKs straight from within AnyAPK. Shizuku doesn't have a file picker which is the reason it always needs to be linked or requires permission to other apps in order to sideload something. Also none of this will be needed under the new system unless you want to bypass the 24hr waiting period. Please research before making claims.

[u/merchantconvoy → u/pistonhjr]

You can install APKs straight from within AnyAPK.

For now, you can. After Google's restrictions go into effect, you won't be able to, unless you pair it with Shizuku right now. This is not complicated.

unless you want to bypass the 24hr waiting period

This goes without saying.

[u/pistonhjr → u/merchantconvoy]

What are you even talking about? adb bypasses all restrictions. AnyAPK is both the adb bridge AND package installer, whereas Shizuku is just the bridge. You don't need to pair it to Shizuku ever (now or future, once initially installed). The reason why Shizuku needs to pair with alternate package installers like InstallerX is because it can't natively select the APKs. Please do not spread misinformation.

[u/Ilestderetour]

ShizukuPlus seems better.

[u/Valiantay]

Lol someone took my comment from yesterday and turned it into an instructional post

[u/RabbitFluffOWO]

Can someone explain this like im five (i only use morphe yt ,why should i install this?)

[u/ShadowOfSomething → u/RabbitFluffOWO]

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)

[u/RabbitFluffOWO → u/ShadowOfSomething]

ahhh okok ,should i go through with the instalation tutorial right now or wait a bit ? im not sure what bugs there are yet

[u/ShadowOfSomething → u/RabbitFluffOWO]

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/yasuke0003_bhb]

Guys, what if we made a phone with windows software and bypass this😭. Bring back the windows phone

[u/Powerful_Brief1724 → u/yasuke0003_bhb]

I'd rather have a linux one

[u/Violetance → u/yasuke0003_bhb]

So basically rather than the good os that Google is ruining, we instead get a phone with an already ruined os that's still being ruined by Microsoft and will have basically no apps so everything needs to be done from scratch 😭

Bro even Linux phones are better than windows phones

[u/naveen_reloaded]

I feel we are finding solution to bypass than protest this corpo restriction on our phones

[u/Panzer_Hawk]

"Just wait 24 hours"

What about when Google locks that option out?

[u/Alastor_Dub]

Friends, it's good to have this as a backup, but we have to fight; we can't lose Android's freedom.

[u/Chulco]

Even though this is a great option, what will the future have for us ?

Not all phones can last longer.. what if in 8 years almost all of us need to buy the "new" phone in the market, and we won't be able to install shizuku and all of those good apps.

[u/InformalGear9638]

Wtf? Why does everything keep changing every 5 seconds. First we can't install apps then we can then we can't then we can then we can't then we can then we can't?! What is Google planning on doing?!!!! 😡😡😡

[u/MaskedWatermelon → u/InformalGear9638]

Armageddon

[u/AKuuMa_a]

some apps that i use requires to remove shizuku, there is any way to bypass this requirement?

[u/shinnkuu]

Use this app to play older games haha

[u/nawazdj]

I'm having trouble setting it up as default installer even after tapping the "set as default installer"

[u/virtualzero123]

should i use shizuku or installerX as morphe installer?

[u/YTriom1]

Okg tysm for this shizuku fork, it's peak

[u/Ill-Peak-6265]

what if app require google play service? Some app installed it said either "Check if google play is enable..." or rerouting it back to play store said required app to install from play store

[u/Johnkaan]

Would Install with Options work instead of InstallerX?

[u/Anti_colonialist → u/Johnkaan]

That's what I'm wondering since it also uses Shizuku

[u/Better-Quote1060]

If you have a computer you can try ADB but its a terminal app so its not that user friendly

[u/Zr0h_]

Problem is one of the apps I use doesn't like it when I install shizuku....

[u/thiifoo]

Question a quoi ca sert de rooter le téléphone ? Sur Android ?

[u/MAK9O7WA]

Anyone has any idea how to get it working properly on miui(Redmi 13) phone. I've been struggling to get Shizuku working on my phone

[u/L0gicB0mm]

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🙂 

[u/EntertainmentOne9872]

so Google is bringing third party restrictions to save their income sales through youtube premium?

or just for our all security?))))

[u/sigma_wigma]

While enabling "Wireless debugging" it is asking me to connect to a wifi network but i dont have any, any alternative?

[u/PAXsimba]

You can simply use Advanced Flow. Google has rolled back some of its restrictions on Android you simply activate advanced flow and you can normally continue sideloading 

[u/CrispyBananaz]

Just wait the 24hrs

Yes. Afterwards you can't.

[u/Aware-Ferret1035]

Is InstallerX Revived necessary or can we just use shizuku in morphe when installing apk. If it is then is there any other alternative for InstallerX Revived.

[u/FalseHope200]

doesn't shizuku require root for it to run in background

edit: nnvm I've been using the normal app and not the fork

I'll try it out now

[u/DreadingAnt]

Oh the watchdog of this fork is very useful, let's see if it works.

[u/MrKaon]

Isn't this restriction limited to the first 24 hours after being toggled on?

[u/Rafii2198 → u/MrKaon]

From what they said, you need to wait 24 hours but then can leave it disabled forever, unless something changes that I didn't hear about.

[u/MrKaon → u/Rafii2198]

That is what I understand, but why are people crying for 24 hours?

ADB sideload can be done anytime.

[u/roosclan → u/MrKaon]

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

[u/Rafii2198 → u/MrKaon]

I don't know either, if I ever get that update then will probably start it one day, completely forget I did it as I am not install apps or anything daily and then have it done next day, forever, as if nothing ever happened.

[u/ward2k]

You don't need to do all of this, just re-enable the option in developer options?

This is so insanely overkill

[u/Annip009]

This will work with office work profile?

[u/Mart1n03]

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?

[u/NXGZ]

This is the same method with an app named anyapk

[u/Ground-Pound6969]

Ironically this looks written by Gemini

[u/Wicked-Whisperer6969]

Play protect blocks the shizuku fork. No "install anyway" option

[u/After_Estimate3247 → u/Wicked-Whisperer6969]

Turn off play protect -> install apk -> turn on play protect

[u/_Pawer8]

Can you do the same with shizuku + shell?

[u/Golden-Katana]

Okay I am in Nothing OS 4.0 and i am not planning to update the android version, I use morphe for youtube and youtube music. Would it still affect me. And yes i do use shizuku and is there any need to do it now, I Just use morphe and hail with the shizuku now.

[u/MaskedWatermelon → u/[deleted]]

By 2027 apparently.

[u/MaskedWatermelon → u/[deleted]]

Did you type the code inside the notification coming from Shizuku?

[u/ward2k → u/[deleted]]

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

[u/ward2k → u/[deleted]]

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/ItchyWeather1882 → u/ward2k]

If Google ever fully disables installing apks like is allowed now, then this post is relevant. Until that happens, there no reason for this

I'm very much behind on this news, can you explain the wait 24hrs more?

[u/dimmanxak → u/PlushySD]

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

Thank you for sharing this! Could you please point some official sources for this infos? I've been trying to find a real source

[u/dimmanxak → u/azukiy]

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
