Funciona! I didn't have to clear market data tho, only FB Home. Pretty smooth launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] antisocialbratt:
It works and i dont even have a decent phone. Its Zopo Zp910.

I just changed the build prop as instructed by someone earlier and then installed the latest home launcher uploaded a few pages back. It looks sweet but lack of widget support would make me go back to stock launcher. Gonna fiddle around a bit with this though. ;)

[Android Apps and Games] Rolandh:
would decompiling the .apk, editing it to removing the device restriction & recompiling the .apk get around having to edit the Build.prop?

As I've not had my SIII Mini long & don't really want to Root & edit the Build.prop just for Facebook home?

i'm having a bit of a problem on my One X, the cover feed's displaying random post of my friends rather that the most recent post, some posts are from like 1 day ago and some are from 5 minutes ago, it's kind of crazy, it's not even like the "top stories" feed of facebook where you get feeds only from the person you interact with the most but here's just random, anyone knows why ?

[Android Apps and Games] Rolandh:
SMS/MMS works for me on the SGS III Mini, I've been using it as my main Messaging app since Tuesday when I was using the old 2.3 Messanger.

I had to uninstall & reinstall to get Messanger to update & Chat Heads works fine.

Are you using the Play Store version of Messanger or a Side Loaded version?

Roland
[Android Apps and Games] knuckles1978:
What strings did you edit, and what did u change them to?
[Android Apps and Games] jujuburi:
With any good file manager, the path is, system/build.prop, then edit it, Reboot.

I won't recommend doing that to use this damn thing anyway!

[Android Apps and Games] antisocialbratt:
Can anyone tell me how to send a text message or facebook message at our own choice. At the moment messenger app seem to decide on iteselg what kind of message its going to be. When i ran it first time, something popped up about this but i ignored it and clicked next next in excitement :p
[Android Apps and Games] shouvikonline:
Facebook home was the fastest app that I installed and uninstalled. Pathetic. The company claims to put people first and there is no easy way to call someone, unless you bring up the phone app from the app drawer. No way to start-stop music. The integration of facebook messenger with sms and chat head is good, but the app itself is too slow to be used. Only good part is chat heads work outside facebook home. For those who waiting to get a hand on facebook home, don't do it, doesnot worth a try.

Working FB Home Apk!!

Does ANYONE Have a working APK!!??

I have a Galaxy Nexus Running Stock Un-rooted Android 4.2.1 and so far NONE of these APK's have worked
[Android Apps and Games] gbenj:
Edited build.prop on my Gnex and works fine. Not terribly impressed with it but its definitely smooth/responsive.

Would love to try this on my Nexus 7, unfortunately I have that device on bone stock and would like to keep it that way.

Shame because I think using home on that device would be a much more enjoyable/useful experience for me.

Just throwing this out there, theres no discernable way to use this on an unapproved device without editing build.prop, and theres no way to edit build.prop without root, correct?

Thanks..
[Android Apps and Games] Davion Harvey:
I have no clue.

I must agree with your nexus statement. I too have a Nexus 7 running stock android and would agree it would be a nice thing to use on such a smooth device.
[Android Apps and Games] pkopalek:
After doing all of the build.prop edits in the past 100 posts (trying them all, one at a time), in this order

change build.prop

uninstall facebook home

reboot

install facebook home apk

try again

(repeat cycle)

I have had 0% success. Keep getting "Thanks for installing Facebook home. Your device is not supported yet." etc etc etc.

Do I need to remove all Fb/Messenger/Home, and start again?

And though my build.prop has been modified, I still can't seem to find Home in Play Store. I'm using the apk that's in this thread (257kish).

I'm on android 4.0.3.

Strange addendum: chat bubbles work. On my normal home screen. Weird?

BUT, following those steps, I am not getting the checkbox for 'Facebook Home' in my Facebook app's settings.

[Android Apps and Games] jose.santiago25:
You will not need to check the box, when reboot and install the facebook app and messenger it will prompt you to install the facebook home app (but you already have it) the one in the tutorial will do the work.

[Android Apps and Games] anerik:
never even worked for me... u lucky xd what did you do to make it work?
[Android Apps and Games] Bull_Moose:
Nothing lol. Just installed the updated version of FB Messenger when once the update was pushed to the play store. You have to long press a conversation for the Chat Heads option to pop up.
[Android Apps and Games] warp64:
I just did the long press and it worked for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Vanillalite:
I'm confused on the logic train behind FB messenger as your default message client.

How does it know when to send a FB message and when to just send an SMS? What if I have a contact on ny friends list in FB and want to text them via FB messenger? Is it always going to send a FB message? What if I want to send a text instead as I know they will get it immediately where as a FB message might not?
[Android Apps and Games] imarmand:
Does it show for example whatsapp notifications for you?
[Android Apps and Games] pwrmedia:
You have the option to use the FB messenger client as the primary SMS app, and if so, if you send a SMS from the messenger, it will pull from your phone contact list as well as FB friends online.
[Android Apps and Games] warp64:
All I know is, my wife sent me text byway of the message app on her phone and her face popped up. As soon as you touch the pop up it takes you to the regular message app

---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------

[Android Apps and Games] Vanillalite:
I got that. How do I pick if I am sending an SMS or a FB message though in the messeneger app?
[Android Apps and Games] pwrmedia:
When you click the "+" sign to compose a new message, if your contact has FB, the option to send a message to either will display automatically.
[Android Apps and Games] kachan64:
Thanks. I like the final than beta. Even if most people disagree with the app, I like it.
[Android Apps and Games] Bull_Moose:
You got Chat Heads to work with Home enabled?
[Android Apps and Games] Vanillalite:
What if I have an existing conversation already going? Why does it seem like it doesn't thread SMS and FB together. It just gives me two separate conversations with the same person?

No, I'm not rooting just for this app. I am, however, wondering why everyone is elated with posting "OMG WORKS" and then claiming they did it on a stock, non-rooted Nexus 4.

It simply doesn't work. Advice? All ears here. Again, not rooting. I have my N4 set up perfectly and in no way am I interested in wiping everything for this app. Just want to try it out now and not wait many months for an AOSP (snicker) version.
[Android Apps and Games] dEris:
Why won't you root lol. You won't see a difference besides getting admin rights. Do you not run your windows machine with administration rights? You should on your phone too.

Restoring your phone back to how you have it takes less than 10 minutes. You must think it's really difficult or time consuming or something.

[Android Apps and Games] ericshmerick:
Oh, there you are. I've seen you in this thread, challenging non-rooters with your Windows admin analogy.

Bro, I've rooted to the moon and back. Every kernel, ROM (paranoid was my favorite) and everything in-between. I was in the root scene for years and countless devices, just outgrew it and frankly have lost interest in crack flashing, etc. I spend my current time making actual money at a real job, and am very busy.

I prefer stock Android. NUTS!!11 I know, but it's true.

Again, this thread and modaco claims a pre-edited .apk of Facebook Home can be installed on a non-rooted, stock Nexus 4 and works fine.

Where is it?
[Android Apps and Games] neilenore:

[Android Apps and Games] Bull_Moose:
It's buried in this thread, but there are two other threads on this forum with it.
[Android Apps and Games] dEris:
I have a real job too. Besides crack flashing... There are many advantages to having root that I cannot live without. I'm sure you know them.

I still don't know why you won't root, you don't have to crack flash. Hell, you can still stay stock if you want. Being rooted will save you many times in the future. Doesn't hurt to have root access for when you need it... Like right now. ;)

Oh, look what a Google search came up with.
