I used the chat reenabler for a while on my LG Tribute. Perhaps three months... then I stopped. Why? I couldn't get facebook to prompt me immediately when a chat message would come in. I did turn on Notifications, vibrate, notification sound on and Messages while keeping all the other options in that section turned off. I always got prompts for updates from friends, but never any notices from chat until much later. I don't think this is the reenabler dev's fault, just a shortcoming of the main facebook app.

I'm still using the v27 apk that's suggested to work for the reenabler, and Messenger itself. It's not too bad, considering my phone is relatively powerful for a low end phone running 4.4.2. It also helps that my phone is rooted and running Link2SD. v27 works faster and uses less memory and CPU than any of the new versions, plus I don't notice much difference in usability.

If anyone has any ideas in allowing chat messages to come in immediately using the facebook app with the reenabler, please let me know. Thanks!

I am using the latest FB version from apkmirror and it works flawlessly. It seems that you can no longer freeze Messenger v1.0 via Titanium Backup, otherwise FB Chat would not work. Try downloading the latest FB version from here (caution: there are different versions available for different Android versions! Scroll down to find the correct one depending on your Android version) and give Messenger v1.0 a try again.

Cataclysm ROM 5.1.1 Jun20 stable + Jul03 update.

Code Blue r955 kernel.

Nexus5 - 32GB

Got it working this way:

- Uninstalled both, Facebook and Facebook Messenger.

- Installed Facebook from latest apk (39.0.0.174)

- Installed New Facebook Chat Re-Enabler.

- Downloaded Facebook Messenger from play store

- Opened Facebook messenger so it would log on with my information.

- Opened Facebook and opened my inbox so that I knew it was linked to the Messenger app. Worked correctly, it opened a Messenger bubble.

- Froze Facebook Messenger with Titanium Backup.

- Opened Facebook again

- Opened Messages

- ???

- Profit!
[Android Apps and Games] benleonheart:
Tell me if this also happens to you:

You now get a 'please enable messenger to see your messages', but if you open the messages through a notification you can actually see them...

Edit: fixed them...

Unfroze messenger, opened FB app and messages, closed messages, froze messenger and viola!!

Edit: happened again.

Do I need to install messenger then freeze for it to work on Kitkat?
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
If the FB Chat Re-Enabler does not work for you, try installing Messenger v1.0. With the latest FB version it seems that you have to unfreeze FB Messenger to get the FB chat working properly. Someone has provided another solution where you can defreeze and then freeze FB Messenger again to get the chat working. Have a look here.
[Android Apps and Games] masri1987:
yeah happened to me again , so i repeated the process.

Can SOMEONE please link us to FB Messenger 1.0 and STOP talking about it?

I can use the search functions but it's no good when it's been mentioned 100 times and no link was actually provided...

Thanks

Thanks ill give this a try..

That's facebook messenger 1.0?!!

i have seen that link hundreds of times and just thought it was a 3rd party messenger and not the one made my facebook..

---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------

look below sir.

middle link worked

That right there.

So what i did is uninstall everything that had to do with facebook, installed facebook chat reenabler, installed the latest facebook from apkmirror , installed the messenger in the link above, didn't freeze it, instead i used titanium backup to detach it from the market because playstore will ask to update it.

Voila.

Don't freeze it btw.
[Android Apps and Games] Floating Point:
I noticed that since Facebook v36, depending on which phone you are using, Facebook may enforce newest FB messenger and disable in-app chat, the only combination that I believe to have high success rate is FB v35 + FB Messenger v1.0.

For those saying that v36, v37, v38 and v39 is working, I say enjoy while it's working, somehow since v36 it seems that FB has a method to detect and enforce the newest messenger on the fly.

Yes, I tested all mentioned versions on LG Lollipop phones.

You can download the latest v35 (35.0.0.0.337 for Android 5.0+) on apkmirror and the Messenger v1.0 on benleonheart post in this page.
[Android Apps and Games] Sp1tfire:
What do you mean by detect and enforce the newest messenger? I have messenger v 1.0 installed on a stock LG G3 with Lollipop 5.0.1 and it's working fine with latest Facebook alpha 40.0.0.0.15. It never forced me to update it to a newer version.

Sent from my LG G3-D855
[Android Apps and Games] Floating Point:
I didn't say it's not going to work and period, I said that there is a chance that Facebook will close your in-app chat and ask to install or update the messenger if you use v36 and above.

I always used this combination of FB app + Messenger 1.0 and always worked perfectly, then FB suddenly closed my chat and started to ask to install and update the newest messenger (this happened when I was at v38), and nothing changed this no matter how many times I tried, and believe me, I even reflashed roms, recovered backups, cleared entire user data, tried dozens of different versions starting from v36, etc, it seems to be something server side.

So, now only v35 still works to me, any other version above won't, and if is still working for you, the same can happen (can happen ≠ will happen) to you as happened to me.
[Android Apps and Games] cryostasis25:
Its a bit redundant you can just install latest messenger and freeze it or you messenger version 1(around 1mb only) then freeze or just hide it no need to open just install messenger and forget it. Inbox of facebook client will work.
[Android Apps and Games] benleonheart:
1. Didn't work with the Facebook play store version at that time.

2. Messenger 1.0 freeze did not work also.

3. Read the thread, you'll find people who did not get this working with your non-redundant steps...

This is not a guide for every Android user, it's what worked for

me

.
[Android Apps and Games] Floating Point:
Works in the current boot, but when you reboots, stops working. The FB opens the chat page via that wrapper inside the app.

But worth the try. The v35 + 1.0 is still the only thing that works here.
[Android Apps and Games] benleonheart:
Sweet! Gonna try that! I eventually gave up and am biting the drain-bullet running both apps...
[Android Apps and Games] Floating Point:
Please come back to report if it's working. After install both apps and log in in FB, you can freeze the 1.0 messenger.

The v35 version I used is the latest (35.0.0.0.337 (Android 5.0+)). Starting from the first v36 it's not working.

Facebook messenger 1.0 then installed latest facebook app. Voila worked like a charm didnt even need the chat re enabler app. I can't believe it was this easy. Don't freeze it or it won't work and so not open messenger app after installing. Simply hide the app! Never update it. And its like the good ol facebook. Amazingly simple solution runnimg lolipop 5.0 stock rooted deodexed rom. Im so happy. Finally upgraded my facebobook from v27.... i was surprised this still works as i thought they removed the inapp chat code. Apparently not! Screw messenger. Stick it to the man!!!
[Android Apps and Games] thedisturbedone:
It's a hit and miss. I have the latest messenger (greenified) and the latest facebook. Most of the time, the chats open within the main app. But last night, just for once, the messenger (de-greenified itself and) popped up.
[Android Apps and Games] catman51:
Thanks, I uninstalled both, put Messenger 1.0 than Facebook, works great.

Try tracking down the wake-off path for Messenger and cut it off within Greenify. This way Messenger will not auto-wake-up anymore.

Is there a way to unlink the app from showing app on the Play Store?

[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
If you are on a rooted device and have Titanium Backup installed, you can detach the Messenger from Play Store with TB, thus it won't show up in the list of pending updates. Long click on Messenger -> Detach from Play Store.
[Android Apps and Games] somadsul:
works great

thanks bro...
[Android Apps and Games] Segnale007:
I tried that. But didn't work I am afraid. I have even tried to repack the apk with a different key and that works, the app no longer gets listed in the Play Store, but unfortunately Facebook won't recognize it that way.

Not sure if someone figured this out already as I didn't take the time to read the whole thread.... Pressed as it is. Sorry!!:eek:

I have a rooted RAZR M and use Titaniumbackup to freeze apps. Up through Facebook version 31.0.0.xx.xx as long as messenger was frozen I could use chat within the Facebook app. With the newest version of 32.0.0.xx.xx(which it's up to 38 now) the bug fixes I guess corrected this hack. You can unfreeze messenger in TB, force quit the fb app, relaunch fb, then freeze messenger. Chat will then work inside the fb app once again, but this becomes a hassle as you must do this every time Facebook is closed completely or the phone is rebooted. I am reverting back to 31.0.0.xx.xx. I have no knowledge on writing my own hack but if someone does and can recreate this action with my TB method please post.

Thanks!

Download the FB Messenger v1.0 from here, uninstall FB Chat Re-Enabler, install FB Messenger v1.0 and you are free to go. Just don't update FB Messenger through Play Store. You could even greenify it and the native chat in the FB app will work again.
[Android Apps and Games] sronweb:
This is the FB Messenger version I use but it's fine in combination wiht FB 37 in my case but does not work updating FB app from Play Store to v40 or later. I frozen the Messenger app with Titanium BackUp.

I understand that this apk is only an early version of official FB Messenger and make no sense, for the scope of this thread, to use it as is it if we cannot froze it. Otherwise we will have 2 individual apps running in the background and more memory and battery consumption etc.
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
As said before: un-freeze it and greenify it. This way FB will recongnize that FB Messenger is installed, but FB Messenger itself won't run because it is greenified. And do not update FB Messenger through Play Store.
[Android Apps and Games] sronweb:
I never used Greenify or similar app but I will consider now. As I mentioned before was enough to use FB 37 and frozen FB Messenger 1.0. Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
It depends on your FB version, not on your Android version. For newer FB versions (>39, I guess) you need to have FB Messenger unfrozen, otherwise it won't work. But as AntaresOne has posted, a new FB Chat Re-enabler will be available soon, so no FB Messenger v1.0 anymore, I guess.

Read 4th post above.
[Android Apps and Games] AntaresOne:
Most devices without root can't disable installed apps, thus failing in impossibility to disable Facebook Messenger and have chat working in the main app.

As the OP says, Messenger is one of the biggest battery eater apps and force users to install it just for Facebook chat (million and million people use it everyday) is damn wrong under my point of view.

Many people may think "you can access Facebook through web browser and send messages" or "Install Facebook lite":

1- Nowadays we have great mobile OSes like Android and iOS, having the possibility to keep ourselves updated by just enabling an internet connection (push notifications) is awesome

2- Facebook lite is nothing more than a WebView to visit Facebook instead of opening web browser, plus is so slow and very badly-made

3- Facebook app is damn heavy itself, Facebook+Messenger is the worst combination ever:

- Increases battery drain, message service is always waiting for an internet connection thus eating battery

- Increased RAM usage and general resources (CPU) for main thread, services and broadcast receivers

- Low and mid-end devices are what suffers more, but even high-end ones

All these things don't happen if you don't install Messenger, but:

- Of 100 devices, 70 are not rooted. No Titanium Backup and similar, no possibility to disable Messenger

Just deciding if to update this or make a new one, everything else is almost ready for public release. :)
