Add support for downgrading apps on Android 12 through 17.
About this app
Android's app installation system does not allow users to downgrade to an older version of an app when they already have a newer version installed. Let Me Downgrade is an Xposed module for Android 12 through 17 that enables users to bypass this restriction. The app provides a Status screen with a switch to allow or block downgrades at any time. You can also add an optional App Downgrades Quick Settings tile that mirrors the same on/off state for quicker access.
⚠️ WARNING: Let Me Downgrade is intended for rooted devices running Android 12 through 17 and requires Xposed. The required Xposed variant to use is LSPosed. Other Xposed variants will not work. Additionally, this module cannot be guaranteed to work on all devices. In the worst case, it can cause a bootloop. Use at your own risk.
To use Let Me Downgrade:
1. Install an LSPosed build with API 101 support. This requires your device to be rooted with Magisk or KernelSU. 2. Install Let Me Downgrade. 3. Activate the Let Me Downgrade module in the LSposed user interface. 4. Reboot your device and sign in. 5. Open Let Me Downgrade from your launcher. When the module is active in LSPosed, the Status card shows whether app downgrades are allowed or blocked; use the switch to turn the hook on or off. 6. Optionally, add the App Downgrades Quick Settings tile from the tile editor. The tile mirrors the in-app switch.

How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be com.berdik.letmedowngrade is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
If the current release misbehaves, 1.0.7 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall Let Me Downgrade first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of Let Me Downgrade, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
