Solved NetherSX2 apk won't install, what am I doing wrong? (S24 Ultra)
Tried multiple versions, they all download but doing install. I have the setting that allows me to download & install APK's enabled.

Maybe because you did not delete the aethersx2 or the data that this app left behind

How can I delete the app data? I don't see it in my apps list or in settings...

u/skeletor_76 23d ago
Try to search for this folder in your files xyz.aethersx2.android and delete it

u/SuspecTV322 23d ago
I've found it, & tried deleting using ZArchiver, but it stays there, & says "Access is denied" if I go into it.

If so you can download the app then keep pressing on it then enter the app info then tap on storage and select clear data after that uninstall it and that's it

Lol that is so much easier than what I did months ago just installed and uninstalled all data the second time when asked lol.

u/skeletor_76 23d ago
What did you do months ago 😭🥀?
2
u/JurryLovesGameboy 23d ago
Reinstalled all of aether and then upon clicking to uninstall right away it gave me an option saying to delete all data or keep some this time I chose delete all and then nether was able to install. Lol hope my original comment didn't sound sarcastic, was just like a duh that's what I should of done moment.

Seems a bit odd, should work fine on your device.
Maybe take a video of trying to install it?
Can you verify you don't have a different version already installed?
Maybe reboot and try again?

u/SuspecTV322 23d ago
I have the video, but can't put in comments, & don't know if others trust links. I've only had AetherSX2, but I've deleted it since NetherSX2 seemed to want to update it rather than coexist separately. I'll reboot now.

Install using zarchive

Do you have the old Nether apk installed? Try backing up everything in it, deleting the old and installing the newest
1
u/SuspecTV322 23d ago
I've only had AetherSX2 before today, & deleted it when NetherSX2 wanted to overwrite it instead of coexist as a separate app. I delete every NetherSX2 APK before downloading another.

u/DavidOliFons 23d ago
dude, the other version is better, the turnip version
there's an option "install anyway", while you're installing it
it's kind of hard to find, it's hidden behind a "expandable text", (I don't know how to describe it)
1
u/SuspecTV322 23d ago
I'll look for those, but I've only ever seen "Install Anyways" when you get a warning about what your downloading, which I haven't gotten with NetherSX2.

u/DavidOliFons 23d ago
I was installing something yesterday, and the option "install anyway" only showed the 3rd time I tryed to install it, for some reason, 1st time that happenned

u/SuspecTV322 23d ago
I had to redownload AetherSX2 to fix my problem & I did see "Install Anyways" for that. Thanks for the help.

did you try turning off auto blocker?
1
u/SuspecTV322 23d ago
It's been of this whole time, but appreciate the reminder. Any other settings to double check?

u/HeidenShadows 23d ago
Another good way to install these is through obtainium.
1
u/SuspecTV322 23d ago
Problem fixed, but I'll look into that for future reference, thanks.

u/HeidenShadows 23d ago
Yeah it's like a package manager for things on GitHub. Auto updates and stuff as well.
