fmaher, Thank you for this. I'm not rooted and with your FB 55 and dummy messenger, no more upgrade notices in the Play Store. Yay!

As someone said, to keep it simple + make it *fully* functional and memory friendly.

Facebook v27 in-app messenger, the last one that supported *syncing* FB contacts.

No Play store updates notifications (apks are re-signed to remain detached)

Actually those two links below, all you'll ever need. Even FB calls are working.

I can confirm this works, i used this version for some time before even finding this thread (4.4.4). I wanted to take advantage of supposedly new and better features so i have been trying the newer versions. That being said nothing seems to work with any of these recent "ok this is how you do it" methods. One user posted about version 43 being the last version that works before messenger returns to "browser version". I am trying that now, it seems to work fine. I am not sure of what advantages this version has over 27, although interesting to learn that 27 synced contacts and that stopped after. i did not know that....

Does anyone know some of the things you lose by using version 27 versus the newer versions? (in my case 43).
[Android Apps and Games] bobmatu:
sorry

With android m, facebook v 55 still work or there is some problem?
[Android Apps and Games] dcaceres89:
Maybe the way how you react to your friend's post. IMO, that's the only new feature that you can observe in the latest versions.
[Android Apps and Games] gelo01:
Reactions, and those "material" design used throughout FB app. I also used v27 just to sync FB contacts then update it to v55 for the latest look and feel. v27 may look old school but if you don't bother about the look and reactions, it may be the best version of them all.

[Android Apps and Games] scoobyjenkins:
If Facebook is a system app, you'll either need root or be able to install a custom recovery so you can delete it from system/ app. You can flash TWRP on Note 3 with odin (so could possibly work with Note 5 if there's a tar zip of TWRP available) but it won't stick unless you flash SuperSU, which will root it, or some other file that can make it stick, but if you only need it for this, as long as you untick auto reboot in odin before flashing, once TWRP is flashed, you can disconnect from the PC and reboot into TWRP using the 3 button combo. (I'm guessing it'll be the same with Note 5 as it is with Note 3 but best to research flashing TWRP for Note 5 first) Once in TWRP, you can go to the mount option, tick system to mount it, then go back to main menu and choose advanced, file manager, then navigate to system/ app and delete Facebook. When you reboot the stock recovery will likely overwrite TWRP.

Tapatalked that shiznit.
[Android Apps and Games] 60nine:
afaik... he'll just need root for that...

if you have root - you can use Titanium Backup app to either freeze that app or uninstall it...

with root - you can also remove any file from system with any file manager that supports root (i.e. ES File Manager)

my girlfriends old sony walkman device is only rooted (without custom recovery) and i was able to remove all the unneeded apps from the device with Titanium...

FBv27 signed apk

I followed a previous post to the "T" installing the modded FBv55 but unfortunately once I set up my FB then exited the app then upon re-entering the app it automatically reverts back to the web browser version of Messenger. However after I deleted all of the previous FB files, etc then installing the modded FBv27signed apk voilà! So good "looking out" to both for posting variants to try and discover one we can use w/o that awful web browsing Messenger.

Much obliged and thanks for y'alls hard work ����

[Android Apps and Games] nfin1te:
Ok, an update from me:

OPO @ euphoria 5.1.1 CAF

I had the same problem starting from v54, that FB just keeps on rolling back to webchat when you close the app for the first time or reboot the device.

I had to roll back to v42 (!) to prevent FB from doing so - now this behaviour has stopped...finally. No more updates for me i guess.

v58 doesn't work with re-enabled and I get parsed error on install from reborn (I downloaded the helper apk multiple times)
[Android Apps and Games] AntaresOne:
I'm working on edits for Marshmallow, the fake Messenger package needs to be modified. Once ready I will upload a new Helper version which is updated to fully support MM.

On my G4 regardless of Android version, if I don't install the fake Messenger which is installed by the Helper app by default, Facebook tells me I need to install Messenger. Once the fake package is installed I can use Facebook chat without the true Messenger but opening in a window like if it was a browser one, without actually opening browser. I hope I have been clear :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] :
Be happy. For me last working version Facebook with fake Messenger is v55. On newest version, when i try open chat, Facebook opening my Opera browser and i must login to my account, to get chat.

Wait for a few versions, and i think, all people from here will be have this "error". Messenger from Google Play coming.

Any way you could release a marshmallow compatible version [MENTION=5464206]AntaresOne[/MENTION] ? I'm pretty sure it's just the SDK version causing the parsing error.

Guys, I'm using Nexus 6P, Marshmallow obviously.

I've a question here.

What's the battery usage like for FB v56 + Chat enabler like for you all? I'm constantly getting high battery utilization daily, around 130 - 160 mAh for 15-18h standby.

Comparatively, accumulated battery usage for latest FB v58 + Messenger uses less battery.

Anyone have similar experience?

One thing though, I get more wakelocks from FB v58 + Messenger vs FB v56 + Chat enabler.

[Android Apps and Games] dixi00:
not really working. Had version 53 installed, worked well till yesterday. After that usual "message" button disappeared, and new - messenger icon appeared without upgrading the application!

After several tries of different versions i returned again to v.53 and it worked "as a charm" with FBC helper, but in morning the message button again disappeared! Looks like they upgrade silently some components without any notice. If i reinstall again , it will work, dont know for how long.

Right now stopped on version 44.0.0.26.12. Seems to work fine. But again not sure if it will remain the same.

After message button is replaced, the messaging section loses its functionality - calls and voice messages become unavailable, but you still can send the messages. But in order to send only messages we dont need to mess around with the chat enabler. It is enough to save the link m.facebook.com/messages into your saved links and it will do the same trick - you will be able to chat from fb application.

For me it is not convenient as i want to use full functioning messages, as before.

I do wonder how they silently upgrade application without changing its version and how to prevent it.
