Hey guys, I wanna share the way to have install unsigned APK to login with Google without having to root your physical phone. Currently the only way to do is to use any VM apps with root access inside.

1. Install VM app of your choice


2. After installation of VM, setup your VM and root it. Optionally, install Xposed. Usually root and Xposed can be enabled via settings or other ways, some VM comes with pre-rooted by default. Please search for tutorials how to root VM

3. Now, you can follow this tutorial how to disable signatures to install unsigned APK.

There are 2 methods
- Lucky Patcher: How to install an unsigned APK (ROOT) (Lucky Patcher) - platinmods.com - Android MODs | iOS MODs | Tutorials & More!
- Core Patch (Xposed required): How to install unsigned APK using Core Patch module (Root & Xposed required) - Platinmods.com - Android & iOS MODs, Mobile Games & Apps

4. Enjoy playing modded unsigned apk on your non-root device!

If you can't install unsigned APK for some reason, try follow this steps How to install signed apk on top of original apk (Workaround) (Rooted device/VMOS) - Platinmods.com - Android & iOS MODs, Mobile Games & Apps

I don't like Virtual Machine. What about Virtual space?
So far only VirtualXposed can install unsigned APK, it has option to disable signature check, but it's not a great app because it uses microG that doesn't support Google Play Games

The guide how to install unsigned APK on VirtualXposed How to install unsigned APK on VirtualXposed app (Google Play Games NOT working yet) - Platinmods.com - Android & iOS MODs, Mobile Games & Apps

If you really want Google Play Games support on VirtualXposed, just to post a comment on the Github issue page >>>>> Support for official Google Play Games apk [$150] · Issue #163 · microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore.

With that VM nearly everyone is able to install AND overwrite unsigneds on his device.
This Method even works for my non-rootable and bootloader locked ZTE Blade V8.
With that Method even Android 10 Users are able to use the most of our ViP Mods without any Problems on their Devices.

You have to play throught VMOS. VMOS isn't like rooting your phone directly or anything like that. VMOS is a Virtual Maschine installed on your Android. So basiclly it is like you install a Android Emulator on your Android Device. You have to root VMOS and patch the Android inside VMOS and play Games inside VMOS.
This Method is for People which can't root their Phones, as example me, because their phones are non-rootable ( protected against rooting and modified/protected bootloader etc )
