How to install Galaxy Note 8 Apps on Other devices
Requirements
- The Galaxy Note 8 apps work only on Samsung Devices running TouchWiz Android 7.0 or higher. Make sure your phone is running on Android Nougat before going further. Go to Settings > About Phone and check the software version.
- Your phone must be rooted and you should have a Custom Recovery installed. It’s recommended to use the latest build of TWRP because it has a simple user interface, supports touch screen and it’s quite stable. Other recoveries work quite fine as well. If you haven’t rooted your device and installed a recovery yet, you may want to have a look at our Android Root Section and Custom Recovery Section. Make a simple search for your device and probably you will find something.
How to install Galaxy Note 8 Apps zip file
- Download the zip file from the link above and move it to the phone internal storage.
- Turn off your device and boot into recovery mode by pressing and holding at the same time Volume Up + Home + Power Button.

- Flash the zip file and restart the phone.

Anyhow you can give it a try but do it at your own risk. Rember you are the only one responsible if you end up with a bricked device, break up with your girlfriend or get fired.
