SHA-256 of the inspected APK: c1dd409fd266e4ad7fb9be034e34b34b57207eb01fd78f7bdf41667e3dafc2ec
The APK’s minimum is Android 4.0, while its target is Android 4.2; the target setting does not make Android 4.2 an installation minimum. Our recorded check found that the hosted GitHub APK and the local inspected copy had matching SHA-256 hashes. A matching hash confirms file identity at the time checked, not that the app is safe or will function on every device.
What Is Known About VidMate 4.1604 Changes?
The reviewed archive record does not provide a build-specific changelog for VidMate 4.1604. As a result, we cannot reliably name new features, identify individual fixes or describe interface changes introduced with build 41604. This guide focuses on what can be checked from the APK itself rather than presenting guesses as release notes.
What the inspected APK can confirm
The package metadata identifies version 4.1604 and code 41604, with a minimum of Android 4.0, target API 17 and 23 declared permissions. These are measurable facts about this particular file. Comparing them with other inspected 4.x APKs can show differences between packages, but it cannot tell us which buttons, services or background tasks actually changed.
Why an archive date is not a release note
Historical download listings sometimes carry dates or general descriptions. A listing date may reflect when a catalog entry was created or updated; it does not, on its own, confirm the developer’s original release date. For identifying a saved APK, the internal version code and its SHA-256 checksum are more precise than a broad label such as “VidMate 4.x”.
Without verified release notes or a current device test, there is no sound basis to promise faster downloads, fixed playback, a redesigned results page or ongoing access to online services. The APK can be identified and compared without making those claims.
Android 4.0 Minimum vs Android 4.2 Target API
Android package metadata records more than one SDK level. For the inspected 4.1604 file, the relevant values are minimum API 14 and target API 17. A separate compile SDK value is 28. These numbers serve different purposes and should not be treated as interchangeable Android installation requirements.
Minimum SDK 14: Android 4.0
Minimum API 14 corresponds to Android 4.0. A phone below this version does not meet the APK’s declared Android minimum. A phone running Android 4.0 or later meets that particular threshold, although installation can still depend on the device’s CPU support, installed package, signing rules and operating-system restrictions.
Target SDK 17: Android 4.2
Target API 17 corresponds to Android 4.2. It describes the Android behavior level that the app declares as its target; it does not mean Android 4.2 is required to install the APK. The minimum remains Android 4.0. Likewise, a lower target API should not be interpreted as proof that an older app works better on every phone.
Compile SDK 28: Not the minimum or target
The package also reports compile SDK 28, associated with Android 9.0. This describes the SDK level used for building the app, not the APK’s declared minimum or target. For this exact file, the Android values to keep separate are minimum 14, target 17 and compile 28.
Meeting the minimum Android version does not guarantee installation or working online features. Before selecting this archived build, check your device’s Android version and the compatibility information below.
VidMate 4.1604 vs 4.0811, 4.0401 and 4.1803
These four inspected VidMate 4.x APKs all identify the same package, com.nemo.vidmate, and declare Android 4.0 (API 14) as their minimum. The main differences visible in their APK metadata are build codes, file sizes, target API levels and permission counts. The VidMate old version 4.1803 record is useful when your saved version is 41803 rather than 41604.
| Version | Build | APK size | Min Android | Target API | Declared permissions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4.1604 | 41604 | 13.02 MiB | 4.0 / API 14 | 17 | 23 |
| 4.0811 | 40811 | 13.63 MiB | 4.0 / API 14 | 17 | 42 |
| 4.0401 | 40401 | 12.66 MiB | 4.0 / API 14 | 17 | 42 |
| 4.1803 | 41803 | 12.69 MiB | 4.0 / API 14 | 26 | 20 |
Build 41604 has 23 declared permissions, compared with 42 in 40811. It also has a file size of 13,656,530 bytes, which is 630,853 bytes smaller than the inspected 4.0811 APK. The VidMate old version 4.0811 guide covers that earlier file in detail. A lower count or smaller file does not establish which build performs better or is safer.
Among these four builds, 4.1604 shares target API 17 with 4.0811 and 4.0401, while 4.1803 targets API 26. Target API describes declared Android behavior compatibility, not an app-quality score. The 4.1604 file is also 345,511 bytes larger than 4.1803; size alone does not tell us which file offers better features or reliability.
Will VidMate 4.1604 Work on Your Android Phone?
The inspected APK lists Android 4.0 (API 14) as its minimum. A phone below that version does not meet the declared minimum; a phone running Android 4.0 or later meets the Android-version threshold, but that alone cannot guarantee a successful installation or working online features.
Check Android version and native-code support
Look up the Android version in your phone’s settings. This package also contains armeabi native libraries intended for older 32-bit ARM environments. Some newer devices, particularly those without 32-bit app support, may reject older native components even when the Android-version minimum is satisfied. A manifest entry cannot confirm compatibility with every phone model.
Why Android 14 and Android 15 may block installation
Although this APK lists Android 4.0 (API 14) as its minimum, it targets API 17. Android 14 normally blocks new installations of apps targeting below API 23, and Android 15 raises that threshold to API 24. VidMate 4.1604 falls below both thresholds, so meeting its declared Android minimum does not mean it will install normally on these newer systems. An app installed before a phone upgrades may remain installed, but that is different from a fresh installation. Do not override device security warnings just to force an old build to install.
Check the installed package before replacing it
The package name is com.nemo.vidmate. If you already have a VidMate installation with this package name, Android may restrict replacing it with a lower version code, or reject it if its signing requirements do not match. Back up important local app data before considering an uninstall or downgrade; uninstalling can delete private data and settings.
If your record instead specifies build 40401, consult the VidMate old version 4.0401 article to identify that exact earlier APK. Choosing an older build by guesswork is not a reliable solution to current Android restrictions or service changes. The next section covers the installation precautions to review before proceeding.
Before Installing VidMate 4.1604
An archived APK is most useful when it matches a particular backup or setup record. Before attempting to install build 41604, check the file identity and your phone’s current installation rather than assuming every 4.x version can be used interchangeably.
- Check the exact package and version. This file identifies itself as
com.nemo.vidmate, version4.1604and build41604. A download filename or a general label such as “VidMate 4.1” is not enough to confirm those values. - Check the Android minimum and native libraries. The APK declares Android 4.0 (API 14) as its minimum, Android 4.2 (API 17) as its target, and includes older
armeabinative code. The minimum Android version is a threshold, not a guarantee of support on newer devices that lack 32-bit compatibility. - Examine an already installed copy. Android can reject an attempt to replace a higher version code with a lower one. A different signing certificate or incompatible package state can also block installation, even when both APKs show the same app name.
- Protect local app data before changing versions. Uninstalling an app can remove its stored settings and private data. Save anything important before considering removal; there is no guarantee that data from a newer build will transfer to an older one.
- Review installation permissions and warnings. Android may require you to allow a browser or file manager to install an APK from that source. Check the source and any device security warning carefully; do not disable security checks simply to force an installation. Turn off temporary source-install permission afterward if you enabled it.
Even if Android accepts the package, that only confirms installation succeeded. It does not establish that an archived app’s network-dependent features still operate or that the file is harmless.
How to Verify the VidMate 4.1604 APK
Two separate checks help identify an archived APK: read the version and package information inside the file, then compare its SHA-256 checksum with the inspected copy. A checksum match is evidence of identical bytes, not a general safety assessment.
Match the internal package identity
The inspected package reports com.nemo.vidmate, version 4.1604 and version code 41604. These values are more specific than the filename, which can be changed without changing the file’s internal Android manifest.
Check the exact SHA-256 checksum
The 13,656,530-byte APK inspected for this archive has the following SHA-256 digest:
c1dd409fd266e4ad7fb9be034e34b34b57207eb01fd78f7bdf41667e3dafc2ec
On Windows, open PowerShell in the folder containing the downloaded file and run Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 -Path ".\vidmate-4-1604.apk". Adjust the path if the file is saved elsewhere. Compare the complete output hash with the value above, character for character.
Our recorded check also found a matching SHA-256 for the hosted GitHub APK and the inspected local copy. That establishes file identity at the time checked; a fresh download can be verified independently using the same method.
Understand what signature and scan checks do not prove
The inspected APK passed Android package signature verification using the older v1 signing scheme. A valid signature can establish package integrity under that signing scheme, but does not independently confirm the legal publisher’s identity, current compatibility or that the software is free of harmful behavior.
The project’s recorded Windows Defender folder scan on September 25, 2026 did not flag this file. That observation is limited to the scan performed then; it is not a guarantee that the APK is safe. Treat unexpected permissions, changed hashes or installation warnings as reasons to investigate rather than ignore them.
VidMate 4.1604 APK FAQs
These answers address the exact build name, Android requirements and differences between nearby inspected VidMate APKs. Use the full version and build code to identify the file rather than relying on a broad 4.x label.
Is VidMate 4.1604 the same as VidMate 4.1?
No. The shorter label ‘VidMate 4.1’ is not a reliable identifier for one exact APK. This page covers version 4.1604, build code 41604, under package com.nemo.vidmate. Check the full version and the SHA-256 listed in the APK file details when matching a saved copy.
Does VidMate 4.1604 require Android 4.2 to install?
No. The inspected APK declares Android 4.0 (API 14) as its minimum, while Android 4.2 (API 17) is its target; the separate compile SDK is 28. But a declared minimum is not a guarantee of installation on newer phones: Android 14 and Android 15 normally block new installations of packages targeting API 17 because their minimum installable target-API requirements are higher.
What is different between VidMate 4.1604 and 4.0811?
The inspected 4.1604 APK is build 41604 and measures 13.02 MiB (13,656,530 bytes), while 4.0811 is build 40811 and measures 13.63 MiB (14,287,383 bytes). Build 41604 is 630,853 bytes smaller and declares 23 permissions compared with 42 for 4.0811. Both declare minimum API 14 and target API 17. These differences do not establish which build is safer or faster.
Can I install VidMate 4.1604 over VidMate 4.1803?
Usually not as a direct update. Both versions use package com.nemo.vidmate, but 4.1604 has a lower version code (41604) than 4.1803 (41803). Standard Android installation may block such a downgrade, and signing or device restrictions can also prevent installation. Uninstalling an existing app can erase private data and settings, so back up important information and review the risks before considering any change.
