Installing Unsigned APKs on Non-Rooted Devices – A Simple Guide
Hey everyone! Today, I’ll show you how to install unsigned APKs and log in with Google without needing to root your actual phone. The best method to achieve this is by using a virtual machine (VM) app with built-in root access.
Step 1: Choose and Install a Virtual Machine App
There are multiple Android VM apps available that allow root access inside a virtualized environment. You can check out this list of VM apps for options.
A VM creates an isolated system separate from your main phone, meaning you can root it, experiment with mods, or install potentially unsafe apps without risking security breaches or system crashes.
Step 2: Set Up and Root Your VM
Once your VM app is installed, configure it and enable root access. Some VMs come pre-rooted, while others require additional steps. You can also install Xposed for more functionality. If you’re unsure how to root a VM, refer to available tutorials online.
Step 3: Install Unsigned APKs by Disabling Signature Verification
To bypass the signature check and install unsigned APKs, use one of these methods:
- Lucky Patcher (Requires Root) – Guide to installing unsigned APKs using Lucky Patcher
- Core Patch (Requires Root & Xposed) – Guide to using Core Patch for unsigned APKs
Step 4: Enjoy Your Modded APKs!
After following these steps, you should be able to install and run unsigned APKs on your non-rooted device using the VM environment.
Alternative: VirtualXposed (Limited Functionality)
If you dislike using VMs, VirtualXposed is an option. It allows installing unsigned APKs by disabling signature verification. However, it has a major drawback—it relies on microG, which does not support Google Play Games.

If you need Google Play Games support on VirtualXposed, consider contributing to this ongoing issue on GitHub: Support for official Google Play Games APK.
