Fixing the "App not installed" error
This is the most common problem when installing LiteX. In almost every case it's fixed in under a minute.
1. Play Protect blocks the installation
Google Play Protect scans apps that don't come from the Play Store and can block mods. To install LiteX:
- 1
Open the Play Store
Tap your profile picture at the top right.
- 2
Go to Play Protect
Tap Play Protect and then the ⚙ settings icon.
- 3
Turn off scanning
Disable Scan apps with Play Protect, install LiteX, then turn it back on.
2. Samsung: Auto Blocker
Samsung phones with One UI 6 or later have an extra protection that blocks APK installs. Go to Settings › Security and privacy › Auto Blocker and turn it off temporarily.
3. You're installing the wrong variant
If you already have LiteX Primary and try to install Clone on top (or the other way round), Android will fail or create a second app. If you have another mod using com.whatsapp but signed differently, installing Primary over it will also fail. Fix: make a backup, uninstall the conflicting app and install the right variant.
4. Not enough storage or Android too old
LiteX is 124 MB and needs Android 6.0 or later. Free up at least 500 MB and check your version in Settings › About phone.
5. The download is incomplete
If the connection dropped, the APK may be damaged and Android shows "There was a problem parsing the package". Delete the file and download it again on a stable connection.
6. Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo and other brands
Some brands add their own security scanner. On Xiaomi/Redmi/POCO look for Security › Settings › Scan apps before installing; on Oppo and Realme, Settings › Security › Install unknown apps. Allow the app you're installing from and retry.

Is it dangerous to turn off Play Protect?
Only do it for as long as it takes to install, then turn it back on. And only download the APK from verified sources.
I did everything and it still fails. What now?
Restart the phone, delete the APK, download it again and try installing from the Files app instead of the browser.
