A quick guide for those who want to use Facebook messages without downloading facebook messenger.

Step 1

Uninstall Facebook messenger (if you have it installed)

Step 2

Make sure you have Unknown sources enabled from device settings

Step 3

Install the attached apk (hello world application) or create a new (empty) android project with the package name com.facebook.orca

As long as the only validation that the facebook app does is checking to find if an app with package name com.facebook.orca is installed on the phone this should work

Tested and working on N4 running omnirom 4.4.4
[Android General] hheelloo:
If that work, I thank you xd

[Android General] nikhilsk:

[Android General] gnhuy91:

[Android General] djmaj0:
thank you. finally i found useful solution
[Android General] onthecouchagain:
+1.

Very nice.
[Android General] epraes:
Thank you so much! It worked perfectly.

I went one step further: I froze your app once installed, and Facebook still thinks Messenger is installed. It has survived a reboot.
[Android General] andriman:
My tutorial:

(0. Uninstall Facebook Messenger...)

1. Go to Play Store and disable Auto-Update for Facebook.

2. Go to Apps - Facebook and Clear Data. Then Force Close the application.

3. Start Facebook, login and go to messages, click "Remind Later"

Tadaa - you can now use the chat in the native Facebook application without installing any apks.
[Android General] NobleDroid:
God i hate this "force to install" policy.. Thanks for the tut
[Android General] varanda:
thank you
[Android General] rogxd:
Great! :)
[Android General] Sim-X:
Just what I was looking for! Such BS facebook makes you download an additional app to use messenger than I hardly ever use anyway. I refuse to use it, thanks op! Hopefully fb does not update the validation process.
[Android General] hazmad:
THIS WORKS! good job ?
[Android General] Okamaokama:
So glad that I find people who use the same method as me. However, I think Facebook stops the push notification service on purpose. I keep uninstalling and installing the facebook original app and hello world apk, and I would get push notifications for the first few hours or more. But then after this duration of time, I will not receive push notifications anymore out of no reason. Do you guys encounter the same problem as mine? Thank you.
[Android General] BACARDILIMON:
Thank you so so much sir you have saved me a nice chunk of battery life.
[Android General] leorod199:
Thank you, have a way around the whatsapp? In the case do not show that the message was read. :)
[Android General] nemoc 23:
I'm not sure if this is available in the app from the play store (most probably it will be roll out in the next update if it wasn't already updated) because i don't have whatsapp installed on my phone but i think if you download the apk from the official whatapps website you can disable it from the settings menu

Settings > Account > Privacy

Uncheck Read receipts
[Android General] Matrixie:
Worked great, thanks for this.

I too am lacking in push notifications about messages.

This would be absolutely perfect if I got notified about messages!
[Android General] nemoc 23:
I will look into it. I don't have any issue with notifications. Make sure you have notifications and message notifications active from the facebook app under app settings
[Android General] alicepattinson:
Thanks for this guide it really helps me a lot. Thumbs up. :)
[Android General] Matrixie:
I've just checked out my app settings, notifications/message notifications are active. The notification update interval was set to 1hr, I don't know if this has anything to do with it. It's odd - I get push notifications about things such as event invites, being tagged in a photo etc but I just don't seem to get told when I have a new message. I have tried clearing data/cache for Facebook, that hasn't helped. I'll see if this 1hr > 30m thing helps.
[Android General] harroguk:
If all the messenger app does is remove the spash screen so you can access the messaging functionality in the FB App then it raises the question "What else does it do?"
[Android General] yomiguy:
Great solution to avoid that useless and big app facebook messenger! Thanks mate!

[Android General] Nevilbd:
Is that messenger.apk safe to use? Hope its not a spyware or a virus that can read our all Facebook messages or collect any information.
[Android General] Ja_som:
Yes it collects all your information, also it will format your device and you will never be able to use it...
[Android General] luigi0824:
App not installed even though the unknown sources is enabled
[Android General] Ja_som:
Uninstalled original Facebook Messenger?

You can try also this one:

http://d-h.st/gXW
[Android General] luigi0824:
Of course yes. The apk that you've posted doesn't worked too :(
[Android General] Zoey2014:
Anything new with this? Facebook has changed things up again. I used to just clear data and log back in and Facebook would remind me a few weeks before trying to force it and I would clear data and log back on and be good for a while. They have now rolled out a new UI and I can't fool it anymore.

If I download messenger, I can use messaging in the app, but I don't want the messenger app at all. Has anyone come up with a new fix for the new UI that seems to have closed that glitch where you could get around messenger?
[Android General] Ja_som:
Which version do you have? I have 27.0.0.25.15 and this is still working for me... How the new UI looks?
[Android General] Zoey2014:
I'm on beta.. Here is my about screen. The second one is what the message screen looks like. The new UI is a slow rollout, so everyone will be getting it soon, regardless of version. You can't even tell it to remind you later anymore.
[Android General] Zoey2014:
ETA THIS SENTENCE AT THE TOP: Never mind all the below.. When I clicked on a. Message already there, I got the "install messenger" screen above.

Interesting.. Facebook just told me it has a new update. I've still got the apk installed that was posted on this thread (in the OP). I decided to just force stop the Facebook app, clear all data, uninstall, boot to recovery and clear cache and reinstall Facebook.

When I searched for Facebook in the Play Store, it does in the play store that I have messenger installed. So, when I reinstalled it, I got a different screen when I opened the message icon. I also tried to just clear data before the uninstall and I got this same screen with messages and I did not tap "learn more". This time when I reinstalled, I tapped, "learn more" and my messages showed up.

The trick is to clear the data, then when you log in, go to the message icon and click "learn more". If you go to messages and don't click anything, the next time you click on messages, you will get my first screenshot I posted above, where your only option is "Get Messenger".

Now, do I need to freeze this file in the apk that I downloaded?
[Android General] Ja_som:
When you deleted your data, you probably only lost new UI... I updated my FB to 28.0.0.11.16 and I still have old UI, but it asks me to install FB Messenger.

So, it looks like FB changed this in v28. Fu**ing Facebook! I hate FB messenger....

:(
[Android General] Zoey2014:
It is weird that the Play Store thinks I have messenger installed, but Facebook only halfway thinks I do. I can see all my messages listed, but if I try to reply to one or create a new one, I get the install messenger screen.

I did discover earlier tonight that if you just download messenger and don't open it and set it up, then you can do the messages from the app. So there is something else in the messenger app that Facebook is looking for to allow you to use your inbox in the app.

Hopefully someone can come up with another fix and can figure out what the other thing is Facebook is needing to see on the phone.

The other option is to roll back to a FB version before 28..

---------- Post added at 01:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 AM ----------

OK, I rolled back to 27.0.0.25.15 and now it works. I'll just stay at that version (isn't like Facebook fixed any of the bugs in that version) until someone comes up with a fix for version 28.

ETA: I also tried both apks, the one in the OP and the second one. I ended up reinstalling the 2nd one, so I can't say for sure the first one works. If it worked in v27 it should still work if you roll back.
[Android General] Ja_som:
I thought if FB checks version of Messenger, so I changed version of my No FB Messenger app to last Messenger version 22.0.0.9.14, but no success...
[Android General] casouzaj:
I'm currently running FB 29.0.0.0.0, posted somewhere a couple of days ago. Before, it was the Play Store one, 28.0.0.8.16 (or something like that). The messenger killer I'm using is the one by Serajr, whose link was posted on this very thread, and it's working fine with both versions, in my Xperia ZL, running kk 4.4.4. Just my 2 cents...
[Android General] Ja_som:
This?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54168375&postcount=10

[Android General] casouzaj:
Exactly! Am I that lucky? Look at the screenshots!
[Android General] Zoey2014:
I'll test that one out with v28 a bit later today and see if it works for me.
[Android General] Rich Village:
Great! You're amazing! Thank you! XD
[Android General] Zoey2014:
I tried that one every way possible, didn't work.

The only way to get any of them to work is to force stop the original Facebook app you have, then clear data, then uninstall and then install a version 27 apk. Then it works great.
[Android General] Ja_som:
I installed original Messenger and I froze him in TitaniumBackup. I can send/receive messages in FB app, but Messanger has almost 70MB, and disablers has max 1MB.
[Android General] Zoey2014:
Well you can install messenger and still use messages in your app, I discovered that the other day.

If you don't mind v. 27 which is really no different than v. 28, then using v27 until someone here comes up with a fix for v28 is a good idea.

V28 works halfway, you can go to the messages, see all them, but opening one gives you the "install messenger" screen.
[Android General] Ja_som:
I tried v28 and I can't see any messages, after I click on messages icon I got 'intall messenger' screen.

I tried some things, change disabler version to messenger version, copied whole AndroidManifest.xml from Messenger to blocker, but no success.

Once there will be some bigger difference between v27 and new, and then you will need to update. And I'm not sure if someone will find a way to block Messenger with some aesy way...
[Android General] Zoey2014:
Trust me, there won't be bigger changes, unless you call adding stickers a bigger change.

I was a beta tester for 2 years, in a special group with the developers. They are not fixing major bugs that we have been reporting for over a year. They are adding things like stickers and other silly things.
[Android General] casouzaj:
I've just found out that, like many people here, the messenger blocker trick, although working flawlessly in my Xperia ZL (C6503 variant), running Android 4.4.4, with FB both v28 and v29, doesn't work, at all, in my wife's Xperia E1 (D2114 variant), which happens to run 4.4.2, instead, with either of those FB versions. Further investigation is needed.
[Android General] Zoey2014:
I have 4.4.2 on my S5.
[Android General] 1nv1s1bl3c0r3:
Great work op

Great work on reversing the original Facebook app too :)
[Android General] seemeandyou:
Thanks! It's very useful information to me.
[Android General] arana1:
it stopped working for me today, i reinstalled the empty app and its still not working :( i got new facebook update i think they patched this
[Android General] Krishna Eyunni:
yaa for me too
[Android General] casouzaj:
It seems to me that the trick doesn't work with any Android versions less than 4..4.4. I'm using serajr's Messenger Blocker in my Xperia ZQ (same as ZL), running 4.4.4, and it works flawlessly, even with the latest Facebook version, 29.0.0.4.13. However, it fails miserably in both my wife's Xperia E1, which runs 4.4.2, and my son's Xperia SP, running 4.3. As you can see, I've tested with Sony phones only. I'd like to hear from other members owning other brands and models, to see if this theory of mine sounds.

Just my 2 cents.
[Android General] Zoey2014:
I have a S5 v 4.4.2 and it only works for me when I rolled back Facebook to v 27.
[Android General] arana1:
I am on 4.4 so thats not it :( :/
[Android General] casouzaj:
4.4 is not enough. 4.4.2 or 4 4.4?
[Android General] arana1:
4.4.4. (CM11)

[Android General] TheEnD-69:
Thank you. One thing I don't understand is why does it say for instance that on March 1st the Facebook's version is 30.0.0.0.2

When I go to the PlayStore there is no update, but if I check the version on my phone it's 28.0.0.20.16

[Android General] ervejs:
Yes 27.0.0.0.15 is buggy. But i think it is because of fake messenger. Facebook did some changes in messages maybe?
[Android General] AlanDS:
This mod doesn't work with latest FB version.
[Android General] Smurfy82:
Another way to chat with Facebook 28.0.0.20.16:

Install Facebook Messenger, disable it in Androids App Settings => Facebook Chat is working again.

This is indeed not a very good one...

Maybe Facebook now checks the size of the package com.facebook.orca :confused:
[Android General] Nick99EXB:
I installed the latest Facebook and Messenger app but I couldn't disable Messenger in App Settings. I froze it in Titanium Backup and that did it. Messages are back in the Facebook app. Great solution if you are rooted but a non-root solution for all would be better.
[Android General] casouzaj:
I second this statement. If the messenger blocker trick, for whatever reason, stopped working for you, uninstall it, install the official Facebook messenger app back, from the Play Store, and just freeze it. Your chats will go back to the chats tab in the main FB app.
[Android General] back2android:
Using Facebook app for messages.

Yep.. Freezing the app will let you send/receive mesaages directly from the Facebook app.

I used link2sd app to freeze messenger..

Finally, got rid of stupid messenger.
[Android General] vampirefo:

[Android General] TheEnD-69:

I froze messenger with the help of link2sd and I can directly msg through the app but i am not gettting notifications for the messages. Anyone else facing this issue.

Anyways, i have uninstalled the facebook app also. I was spending too much time on it. :silly:

A tip : If you too want to get rid of both the applications. Set up your fb acc on UC browser and you can directly get facebook push notifications. It works great. :D

Hey guys there is another way^^

I still use version 3.8 (495510) of the Facebook app.

That is an almost 1,5 years old version I think, from before when they started to move the messages to the messenger. So if I open the facebook app and click on messages I get the pop-up that messages have moved.

However if I long press "messages" the pop-up will not show up and I can read/write messages like before.

So yeah I haven't been updating my facebook app for a long time now, but everything still works ony my SGS 3 mini with Android 4.4.4 so I don't even care ;)

[Android General] Azurael:
Bad news, the latest update on the beta channel detects that Messenger is disabled and prompts you to enable it.
[Android General] Bart1981:
This still works with the latest facebook... Although I had to install the messenger app, configure it (so install it, open facebook, click on the messenger icon, go through the configuration until you see your messages) and after that I could freeze the messenger app and use the messenger service within Facebook.

Thank you very much for this solution.

ps:

Do not shut down facebook/kill the facebook app/reboot your phone, otherwise you have to unfreeze the messenger app, start facebook, click on the messenger icon, and freeze the messenger app again.
