Install the app
Choose a download source
UniPatcher is available from Google Play, F-Droid and GitHub. Each option provides the same open-source Android patcher through a different distribution flow.
Before you begin
Prepare the files the patch expects
A successful installation and a successful patch are separate steps. Check the source files carefully if a patch fails.
- Install UniPatcher from the download source that suits your device.
- Obtain the patch legally from its author or project page and read its instructions.
- Prepare your own compatible ROM in the required region, revision and header state.
- Keep a backup and save the patched result as a separate output file.
Download help
Choose the right installation route
Which download source should I use?
Google Play is the easiest choice for most Android users. F-Droid suits people who already use its open-source app catalog. GitHub is useful when you want the APK file directly or need to examine the release history.
What is the difference between the two GitHub actions?
Download APK opens the version 0.17.3 release asset directly. View GitHub Releases opens the complete release list, where you can read notes and find older published versions.
How can I confirm the download destination?
The Play listing uses package ID org.emunix.unipatcher, the F-Droid listing uses the same package ID, and the GitHub downloads come from btimofeev/UniPatcher. Check the destination address and version before installing a file outside an app-store client.
What if Google Play says my device is unsupported?
The published minimum is Android 5.0 or newer. Store availability can also depend on device, region and current release settings. F-Droid and GitHub show their own installation information, but they do not change Android compatibility.
Does the download include ROM files?
No. UniPatcher is a patching utility. You must supply a legally obtained ROM that matches the patch author's documented requirements.
