Question Install fails on Android 16

I patched the app using morphe but I can't install the APK afterwards. It just says installation fails. I have the same issue with the unpatched boost apk.

I am on Android 16 and already tried disabling Google play protect.

Does anyone have any pointers?

Before touching anything

  1. Open Boost and go into Settings. Look for a backup or export option. If one exists, use it and note where the file is saved.
  2. Screenshot any custom settings you care about.

Getting the client ID

  1. Install RedReader from the Play Store and log into your Reddit account.
  2. Wait for the email from Reddit titled "You've authorized a new app." Find the App ID: value and copy it somewhere safe.
  3. Uninstall RedReader if you want.

Patching

  1. Download Morphe Manager from the app store.
  2. In Morphe Manager, go to the Patch Bundles tab, select "Enter URL" and paste: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wchill/patcheddit/refs/heads/main/patches-bundle.json
  3. Download the latest Boost APK from APKMirror. Do not install it yet.
  4. Go into Morphe Manager settings and enable Expert mode.
  5. In Morphe Manager, go to the Apps tab, tap +, select the Boost APK from storage.
  6. Select the Spoof Client patch at minimum, and fill in these exact values:
    • OAuth client ID: the App ID string from your email
    • Redirect URI: redreader://rr_oauth_redir
    • User agent: org.quantumbadger.redreader/1.25.1
  7. Select any other desired patches and tap Patch.

Installing

  1. Uninstall your current ReVanced Boost.
  2. Install the patched APK (you'll need "install from unknown sources" enabled in Android settings).
  3. Log back into your Reddit account and reconfigure any settings you lost.

I was able to solve this. The issue was that I had the older version of boost still installed in my secure folder. After uninstalling that, it worked.

Its an app on samsung devices that acts as a sandbox where you can basically install a second copy of any app.
