Split APKs Installer (SAI)

Seemingly needlessly unintuitive design, but functional. With all due respect, I truly don't understand why a separate button or even the same button couldn't be used to open the system file picker. I'm not the first one to be thrown off by this either, as the reviews show. I can't think of any other app that has Easter egg style navigation like that. I apologize for not reading the FAQ, but needing to read an FAQ to access a basic feature like that is sort of the definition of unintuitive.

This app is great but it needs the following to make it the go-to SAI app: 1. To allow selection of different extensions (apk/apks) at once. 2. To allow multiple installs and backups. Edit: I like the "manage backup" feature, easy and informative. It deserves another star. Q: I backup my apps to external sd card, why it allows only "internal storage" as a home directory?

Looks like a GREAT app but I could see it being even better if it could handle automatic backups of both APK and APKs apps. The issue is that you won't know that an app has been updated in the background and that you need to make a backup of it. Then one day a bad update will come along and break app functionality (or your phone!). Now you need that backup but will you have it? I have had this happen with several prominent and system apps like Gasbuddy, Facebook, and Google maps. Not as uncommon as you would think. Especially on older hardware and OSs.

Amazing application! Thank you. Regular backup apps only make backup of base.apk, which is useless, because you can't install it back. Just a little suggestion : can you make option "Backup all split APKs", to not actually backup all them, but only newer versions. EDIT: You're just amazing. 1st, you responded within minutes, and then 2nd, I tried that, what you suggested, and it worked. Thank you! Please, keep a good work! Wish you could give you 10 stars!!!

Good app been using this for almost a year now I haven't experienced an issue other than failed installation that happened cuz of unstable internet connection and had to uninstall and reinstall this app but its pretty easy and all good now. I've read some reviews saying that they had to factory reset their phone and that they lost a lot of storage after the 'installation failed' I hope I wont encounter that issue on my phone. Thankyou so much for this app.

Guys, the reason why YouTube Vanced is split it's because the YouTube app in recent versions has been split to reduce the size of the application and to make installation more efficient. Before I discovered this app, I've always used Lucky Patcher to install split apks, either using it's backing up feature or archiving the apks myself, but it in itself has its limitations. This app fixed my problems with installing split apks, kudos to the developer for developing a very useful app.

Split apks installer one of the more than best 👍I think I experienced but this one is different best previous app I used I want advance features useful with ads you much expect like better I mean easily convinced show the more than predictable easy considering well future updates features automatically all the qualities any related thing that certain changes I always acknowledge an best & once you get never gonna lost most optional extras touch ❤ heart💖 when I love it the bes according p.

Limited space to relay info here, things aren't always clear..the animation could be a generic rotating circle, not necessarily a progress bar. Just so we know it's working. I'm sure some installs load before it would start up. Anyone unsure what a split apk is, it's designed to install only what's required for the particular app you're installing to run on your device, which requires less storage space than a normal apk install. Thx again! 🙂 Be safe everyone! 😷✌️

Worked great on my Samsung Galaxy S9+ but isn't finding all apps I want to back up on my S21 Ultra. I've tried reinstalling and checked all the settings, I'm not sure why it's not finding these apps. Was also getting an error on installing downloaded apks, something about unknown/invalid name. APKMirror had no issues installing same apks so something is off, would rather use SAI though so not great.

Thank you for your continued updates to the app. Following on from my previous review. I am still UNABLE to install this app directly on my Nvidia Shield Android TV (2015) and have to rely on Sideloading the app from your github release page to update it on the device which works well just not very convenient when it should be available from the playstore. I believe the issue is in the google play store app management web page that its selected to be distributed on mobile devices only, reason i suggest this as you added Android TV support at a later stage with version 3.1 and haven't enable the distribution of it onto Android TV devices.

Just tried to install an zip file and app got installed but without obb files. Searched google and no answers either. I'm on Android 11 and have to install external file manager to even access obb files. It'd be great if you fix this problem.

Gem of an app. I do have one issue, that I really hope gets fixed. The app doesn't show in my list of package installers when I "open with" on an .apks file. But it can browse through the app and install it that way. SAI has some useful features. It can sign the APK before install, attempt to install to external storage, extract an APK from the APKS file, as well as install zip packages. It really offers a lot, and only ask for a cup of coffee donation. The UI looks really classy too!

This app is incredibly useful for installing split apps saved in your local storage. Plus, it's open source, ad-free, and simple. Good job!

First of all while installing a apks it not giving us the options to choose between splits and also non split apk are also being backed up as apks. This problem was only found in this version of the app whereas there was no such issue in the earlier versions of the app. Please fix this problem dev and bring back those options.

excellent solution to problem was having with certain app files that were being backed up & archived as split files. They weren't reinstalling using my usual package installer or any of the other run of the mill backup/restore apps. It still won't install the backups created by those other apps but if I use this app to create the backup file it successfully reinstalls them! YAY

User apps are those which either have been installed by the user (by any means) or updated on the system apps which come pre-installed on a device (actually, and technically, user-updated apps are and treated the same as user-installed apps, because Android ignores the original system apps which have been updated, and only considers the updated versions as installed apps on a device). The app excludes the 2nd mentioned part from user apps. Actually both mentioned groups contain user apps; therefore both should be included under user apps. Please take a look at "Apps Backup Restore" by "touchfield" on Play Store, which correctly groups user apps. Thanks. Great! Thanks for your true support. Waiting for the next update to see the option there. Thanks again.

The app doesn't install anything even after waiting for 30 minutes, you will stare at your phone screen while it does nothing except displaying "installing apks" that will not give you the result that you wanted. Ohh but it will reduce your storage space instead and there's no way to delete the set up files stored in the system (will be in your phone forever and they're useless, only taking up your storage space). This app is not safe and far from complete.

Well, it works! The only missing feature is upload to APKMirror. The UI is very good, but the UX is bad, but that's okay. It takes a lot more clicks to view system vs user apps than it could take, I don't think the filters at the bottom is a good idea.

I am concerned about the data privacy. Just need to be aware since the app is signing other apk(s) which are not allowed/incompatible with the phone. For example - I have installed Samsung Email app on my samsung M30S which wasn't compatible with the phone. Just wondering if installing an app via SAI collects the email data and/or any possibility of data breach. I have checked the privacy policy as well which cleary stats that the data will be collected by the Devs but not aware of the further process. What exactly they do with the data collected? Waiting for your response.

Used this to install YouTube vanced, worked perfectly. Only thing I couldn't get to work was the different themes, it seems stuck on the white one for some reason (coincidentally so was YouTube vanced even though I selected dark theme). Anyhoo, great app that looks good and works great.

A really great app for exporting apk and installing split apks. But i gave 4 stars because i want a feature where i can back up the app data plsss i m sure that the developer will respond to my request. Edit: thanks for responding I know that is quite hard to implement but not impossible. I'd be very happy to see the feature in future updates.

First of all I want to thank the developer for making such a nice & lucid app. If you don't have access of a Wi-Fi or you want to save data but there is a problem, u find ur normally backed up base apps 'can't be installed'. Then SAI is the perfect app to backup those apps which contain split apps. It does the work in the most easiest way 1. Tap→backup 2. Tap→install. Nowadays Google often removes alot of apps from play store. But your beloved split app will be perfectly installable. Kudos dev!

Excellent App... I don't know about you but I use it mainly for some apps that get splitted upon receiving from Shareit and it has worked fine so far. *Note for Xiaomi users*: if the app doesn't work on your phone initially then go to Devoloper options and Disable “ MIUI OPTIMISATION", moreover, it is at the bottom of the page.. Thanks.❤❤❤

The internal file browser doesn't let you select files on the SD-card despite having permission to access SD-card (simply a bad file browser implementation). I can't reply to replies, so let me edit this after the dev's reply: Thanks, that's an easy solution! It really wouldn't hurt to document this somewhere visibly around that button :)... Anyway, this earns it one more star!

Please add a progress bar. Edit: Thanks dev for the response! The reason why I wanted that feature is because some Chinese games have apk with the obb files built-in, which causes them a long time to install, so I thought that it might've been useful but if there's no point of having a progress bar because there's no actual way of knowing how much the app is installed then it's understandable why there's no progress bar. Anyway, Thanks dev for making this awesome app!

Installed with root enabled and overnight had a huge battery drain and around 3gb of data transfer in the background... Which is worrying. Any ideas why this would be? Edited to increase stars as developer responsed quickly and technically the app works as it should but with a strange bug for me.

This is great app for installing split apks, the ui, pack split apps and you can signed the app before install! So we dont need to install another apps. Edit :Too bad, it seems ruby theme is doesn't really well with my device. Anyway, thanks for your answer dev, it's helpful. Keep made a wonderful apps.

Due to the whiteness of the details in the panel notification, the default theme makes it difficult to display and does not show the available items at all. However, this problem is solved by changing the theme to dark colors. Message boxes have an invisible background during operations inside the software, and the text is not clear.

Great, only problem with it is that i can't make apks open up with it in file managers. UPDATE: that got fixed! The only problem is that it shouldn't queue another restore of the same app while it's being restored. that made problems with restoring facebook.

It would be 5 stars but theres a wierd bug were it won't let me backup anything it will just always send a notification saying: Backup - Failed to backup (app name) no mater how hard i try it always says that. Please fix this Edit: I made sure to check all permissions. I'm on android version 10. Hope that helps.
