Aliucord Manager

The new method to install Aliucord, in a user-friendly way.

Prerequisites

Supported Android versions:

Android 7 (SDK 24) - Android 16 QPR1 (SDK 36)
Architectures: arm64, armeabi-v7, x86_64, x86

If you have already installed Aliucord before via the old installer app, you can uninstall the legacy installer. It is deprecated and does not work anymore.

Installation

Download the latest release APK
Open and install Aliucord Manager
- If you have not enabled "Install from unknown sources" for your browser via system settings, do so now.
Open Aliucord Manager
Grant the permission requests
Click "New Install" or "Update" if you have previously installed Aliucord.
- You may change how the Aliucord app icon will look once installed.
Click "Install" and wait. Do not exit the app while it is running.
- If a failure occurs, it may be due to a variety of reasons:
  - Poor internet connection
  - Internet censorship / blocks (use a VPN or a different DNS server)
  - Insufficient free storage (at least 500MB is recommended)
- If you are stuck, please ask for help in the #support channel of our Discord.

How Shizuku is used

Can silently install patched apps, uninstall conflicting versions and bypass install verification via `PackageInstaller` through Shizuku

This is an AI-assisted analysis of Shizuku-related usages in the app's public source code. It is best effort, so it may not catch every single usage.

How this app uses Shizuku

Aliucord Manager uses Shizuku to perform privileged app installs and related setup without user confirmation dialogs.

Install patched apps silently: the patched Discord APK built by the app is written to a system install session and committed through Shizuku, so installs and updates complete without manual taps.
Uninstall conflicting app versions: when the installed Discord version is newer than the version being patched, the existing package is removed through Shizuku so the older patched build can be installed.
Bypass install verification: before a Shizuku install, automatic verification of ADB installs is turned off in global system settings through Shizuku, preventing extra Play Protect style checks from blocking the install.

Notable details

The Shizuku installer is one selectable option in settings. The same install and uninstall flow also works without Shizuku through the normal session installer or a system install intent, with user confirmation.
