how to install Samsung apps on other androids hey guys i really need Samsung voice recorder to work on my oneplus 7 pro but it doesn't work. Samsung limits it to only Samsung devices. any way to run it on other androids? i tried apk but doesn't work
Samsung devices have not only just a GUI that is a little bit different but the changes Samsung makes go deeper. This goes down to the available libraries and APIs an app can use. They add proprietary features and libraries and if a Samsung specific app uses those features you simply can't install it on a non-Samsung phone unless you have heavily modified the ROM.
The app &quot;Samsung Voice Recorder&quot; is a Samsung specific app that only works on Samsung devices.
I have checked version v21.1.06.11 as provided by ApkPure. This app defines in it's AndroidManifest.xml that it requires the following Samsung specific features:
&lt;uses-feature android:name=&quot;com.samsung.android.feature.resopt&quot; android:required=&quot;false&quot;/&gt;
&lt;uses-feature android:name=&quot;com.samsung.feature.device_category_phone&quot;/&gt;
&lt;uses-feature android:name=&quot;com.samsung.android.api.version.2801&quot;/&gt;
&lt;uses-feature android:name=&quot;com.samsung.feature.samsung_experience_mobile&quot;/&gt;

Only one of those features is optionally (require=false) but the other three are mandatory.
Note that features are device/ROM specific features, you can't just pretend that your device has those features.
Therefore to make this app work on non-Samsung phones you would have build a custom ROM that includes these features (usually special Java/DEX libraries plus the native libraries and potential device drivers, ...).
