InxLocker is an Xposed module designed to intercept/forward Android system application installation and uninstallation requests, redirecting them to your specified installer app.

It is particularly suitable for devices with deeply customized systems.

Key Features

  • Installation Redirection: Intercepts installation requests for APK files and automatically launches your chosen installer.
  • Uninstallation Redirection: Intercepts app uninstallation requests (via Intent) and hands them over to the specified program for processing.
  • Session Interception (Session Install): Supports session installation interception for modern Android systems (intercepts CONFIRM_INSTALL).
  • Forced Component Invocation: Supports specifying a particular Activity component by long-pressing an installer list item (e.g., system installer), solving issues where some apps hardcode the installer.
  • Hot Reload: Based on the feature of libxposed api 102, module updates take effect instantly without the need to restart the system.
  • Permission Fix: Provides experimental fixes for installation path permission issues in some Android 14+ environments.
  • Hide Icon: Supports hiding the launcher icon to keep the desktop tidy; settings can be accessed directly through the Xposed manager.

Usage

1. Installation and Activation

  1. Download and install InxLocker.
  2. Activate this module in your Xposed manager (e.g., LSPosed).
  3. Scope Selection:
    • Check System Framework to intercept system-level installation distribution.
    • Check the specific apps you want to forward installations from.
  4. Restart the system (or restart the checked apps).

2. Configuration Redirection

  1. Open the InxLocker app.
  2. In "Default Installer Settings", click and select your desired installer from the list.
  3. Advanced: If the target installer cannot be launched normally after selection, you can long-press the installer to try enabling "Forced Component Invocation" to bypass the system's default distribution logic.

3. Functional Adjustments

  • Intercept Uninstallation: When enabled, clicking to uninstall an app will jump to your set installer/uninstaller.
  • Session Install Interception: Mainly used to intercept silent/split installation confirmation interfaces on modern Android systems.

Notes

  • This module is developed based on libxposed.
  • After hiding the icon, if you need to find the settings interface again, please enter through the module list in the LSPosed manager.
