Bypass Forced App Installations and Protect Privacy with the Fake Install Module

Tool Overview

The Fake Install Module (com.install.appinstall.xl) is an Android XP module built on low‑level Hook technology. It fakes the installation state of apps, intercepts malicious install detection, bypasses forced‑install restrictions, and protects the privacy of the device's installed‑app list. Author: 永恒之蓝 (小淋).

Core Functionality

It intercepts PackageManager queries, file‑system checks, command‑line (pm/dumpsys) calls, and network requests, returning custom forged results (installed or not installed) to prevent apps from limiting features, forcing exits, or pushing downloads based on detection.

Example Use Case

When App A requires mandatory installation of App B to unlock core features, enabling this module can fake the "App B is installed" state, allowing App A to function without actually installing App B.

Applicable Scenarios

Privacy protection: block apps from querying the device's installed‑app list.

Restriction bypass: overcome apps that demand specific third‑party apps.

Anti‑detection: evade install‑status checks by app stores or third‑party apps.

Convenient usage: works without root via LSPatch (non‑root solution).

Key Capabilities

Dual‑mode state forging : switch between "installed" and "not installed" modes, automatically capturing target app queries.

All‑scenario detection interception : supports PackageManager, file system, command‑line, and network‑based checks, including plugin detection.

Exit interception : blocks app exits triggered by forged packages, offering silent or manual confirmation modes.

Automatic permission forging : auto‑forges core permissions such as QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES without manual granting.

Persistent configuration : saves floating‑window position, interception status, and forging mode across reboots.

Convenient Operations

Floating‑window shortcut: tap/double‑tap to open config panel, long‑press to hide/clear/reset, drag to reposition.

History memory: automatically silently intercept repeated detection scenarios.

One‑click cleanup: quickly clear captured package records and forged caches.

Prerequisites

Rooted device: install LSPosed (recommended) or EdXposed framework.

Non‑rooted device: install LSPatch framework (no bootloader unlock or root required).

Android version: 8.0+ (API 26) up to Android 16 (API 36).

Target app must be unprotected; protected apps may block the XP module.

Installation Guide

1. Root Solution (LSPosed/EdXposed)

Download the latest APK from the Releases page.

Install the APK, open LSPosed → Modules → find "Fake Install Module" → enable it.

Check the target third‑party apps you wish to forge (exclude system or cloned apps).

Restart the target app or reboot the device for the module to take effect.

2. Non‑Root Solution (LSPatch)

Open LSPatch → Add App → select "Embedded mode" or "Local mode".

Locate "Fake Install Module" and enable it, then generate a new APK.

Install the newly generated APK; the module activates automatically without root.

Note: Ensure the target app is unprotected and has no signature verification, otherwise the packaging will fail.
