Hi all, I already patched and installed FB v118 on my x86 device (Zenfone 2). However, I couldn't sign in to my account, even there was no prompt for inserting email/phone and password (the app only showed blinking blue screen with FB logo in the middle).

This happened to every newer FB APKs. Strangely, this issue doesn't occur if I install (newest) FB from PlayStore. Maybe this is OOT, but I'm grateful if any of you could help so that I could try the patched version as per discussed in this thread.

Big thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] jad88:
Yes, please don't forget x86 users...

Do you have any old version with integrated Messenger?
[Android Apps and Games] twistcanyon:
I don't have any of those. The thing is I could not install older FB apks, especially if it is older than 118 version, otherwise the device will prompt "Parse error - There was a problem parsing the package". I think the latest version that was accidentally updated in my phone messed up with android's internal system, so that it will reject any login from older version. My guess is that it relates with a post in stackoverflow relating to "facebook-login-button-flashes-after-pressed-but-doesnt-open". It is way beyond my knowledge [coz I'm just an ordinary user capable of pushing one-click button for rooting and patching :)].

Other than having separate Messenger service, the newest FB version is also not supported by the Xposed One Tap Facebook Module. That's why I think older FB version is more favorable to me.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] jad88:
Idk why it gives that issue
[Android Apps and Games] ememeh:
This is a fantastic idea! Might try it out. Does anyone know if it would be possible to "patch out" the Instagram from the Facebook app? I use IG occasionally, but I don't want it linked to Facebook.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Great work but videos and photos cannot be sent in Messenger section. Maybe because this is a wrapper?
[Android Apps and Games] wolfballz:
Not a wrapper. This just trims down the facebook apk.
[Android Apps and Games] Youms:
Uptill what version of facebook will this tool work?

In fact right now which latest version can it patch?

Hi guys. Who has the latest x86 version with integrated Messenger?
[Android Apps and Games] blackbuffalo:
Simple for Facebook pro curent I see it free in limit time, why don't try it instead thì mod?
[Android Apps and Games] jad88:
I tried It and it's good! But It hasn't all the original apk features like audio messages or tag with @
[Android Apps and Games] Arcadian123:
It's working thanks for great app. But is there any chance I can run it on iOs?
[Android Apps and Games] alagga:
I would suggest to use original Facebook app together with Messenger Lite (both from playstore).

To fix the 1 unread message you can install Facebook chat Re-enabler.

Got the best experience with this combination :)

I recently changed my phone.... got samsung j5 2016.... with 6.0.1 and rooted.... but somehow i can't install patched fb app like on any other phone i had.

I tried some system app remover programs, remove fb app which is there with system... but again it cant be installed. Any suggestions?

I found these two....

com.facebook.system

com.facebook.appmanager

should i remove them or no?

bloatware remover say these two are system apps.... ?

This may have been asked before, but there are a lot of pages to go through. Apologies if it has.

I keep getting 2 floating buttons. How do I stop it. It's really annoying

Many thanks
[Android Apps and Games] alagga:
For me it isn't needed anymore, Facebook fixed the 1 unread in Messenger Lite.

If you still get the 1 unread I can upload the. Apk somewhere.
[Android Apps and Games] ElIT3ShOOT3R:
Yeah it seems to be fixed now.

Thanks anyway!
[Android Apps and Games] ElIT3ShOOT3R:
Actually it again occured for some reason. So, if you can please provide the apk, that would be grateful :)

Pretty sure its been dropped. Facebook made changes that won't allow this to work any longer.

Somewhere around version 114 of facebook is when it stopped working if thats what you're asking

[Android Apps and Games] wolfballz:
It hasn't worked for quite some time, did you read any of the last posts?
[Android Apps and Games] moda20:
I didn't, not before now at least.

But it stopped working very recently, that is why i thought there was already a fix.

So is there a fix or is this the end of it ?
[Android Apps and Games] wolfballz:
This hasn't been working for quite some time so not sure what you mean by stopped working recently...
[Android Apps and Games] moda20:
What I meant is that it just stopped like in 3 days before posting, it used to work fine even when you posted that it stopped working way back.

Actually whole msg thread remains offline. When i open chat of any friend, there is an Orange bar on the top saying "waiting for network"
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
It's definitely network error then.
[Android Apps and Games] raptorddd:
Okey.. tried 1.2 and indeed it takes you to messenger like screen.

but theres this bug or its not completly okey.

when am in a chat. i get notification

i open it i see new message i open it but the message from person is missing.. then i go back to wall posts then see a message open it sometimes i see my last message so i refresh.. then new message appears i open it to reply but the messages sent from friend doesnt appear on chat.. only when you open messenger you can read the message. once you open to reply theres no message. i can only see mine's.. ?

i do prefer 5.0 fb app too.
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
Which version of FB do you use?

I didn't experience such errors and as I see others neither.
[Android Apps and Games] a.broken.star:
But rest parts of the app working fine.. Newsfeed etc are working..
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
Try to reinstall the app, it should work...
[Android Apps and Games] raptorddd:
the one you posted on new 1.2 i think 76.00.27 you said alpha in apkmirror theres alpha and normal.. on normal i got the error while patching ... then you sugeested to redownload this time changed folder of patch to c: then this time i downloaded the alpha and it worked.. but i having that bugs..

ill try the one jishpatel says on few posts back..

74.0.21.69
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
1.3 is the latest patcher.

And it should work with all of the latest versions.

Tested on LG G2, G4 and Asus MemoPad FHD 10 tablet.
[Android Apps and Games] raptorddd:
74.0.21.69 reboots after scrolling messages.. going to give a try with latest patch then.,.. thanks

am out of thanks posts sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
It's not the patcher's fault. I already told that on some versions the app crashes if you scroll down 20 messages. Also, text overlaps with profile picture bubbles, it's ugly.

That is not the case with the latest alphas and betas, they work perfectly and don't crash. I think stable versions will be also fine soon (maybe the next one).

Use the latest beta for 5.0+ (75.0.0.19.69). Currently I'm using that and I'm absolutely satisfied.
[Android Apps and Games] Minski256:
Without bugs works v75.0.0.19.69 or 76.0.0.0.49
[Android Apps and Games] raptorddd:
have not tried 76.0.0.0.49

v75.0.0.19.69 this one bug in chat window.. you cant see when other end has seen message..

the n chat its like this i tested one message me one message othe end.

it should be like this

me

other end

me

other end

one message each but its like this

me

me

other end

other end..
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
I don't really understand this, sorry.

I didn't experience any bugs.

I'm currently adding backwards compatibility. It's important to work with most of the versions, 55+ at least.
[Android Apps and Games] a.broken.star:
There's a problem. When using the original FB app, i could login in some other app using FB login option easily as it would directly load FB app with accept button. But on using patched app, when i try to login in some other app using FB login option, i get a popup web browser, where i have to enter email and password to login every time. Its just like when there is no FB app installed..
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
Maybe it's for the same reason as other apps from FB can't be installed: this apk is not signed by Facebook.
[Android Apps and Games] a.broken.star:
Yeah.. Maybe that's why...
[Android Apps and Games] raptorddd:
If me and you we both are chatting on chat okey. and we have a conversation on chat

normal should be like this. if you send a message and then i reply, then you send another message, then i reply..

lorantm= hello

raptorddd- hey whats up.?

lorantm- how you been?

raptorddd- ibeen great thanks for asking..

but on chat window.i see this bug

lorantm= hello

lorantm- how you been?

raptorddd- hey whats up.?

raptorddd- ibeen great thanks for asking..

see the conversation its not placed correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
Understood, but that' definitely *not* the patcher's fault. I'd rather say it's a network error as it seems it's a unique problem, others did not experience this.
[Android Apps and Games] raptorddd:
ill try today 76. still its okey.. its just that you cant read or understand the conversation... but at least this is a big progress :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] DhAnd:
Thanks, works great with the latest v74.0.0.21.69
[Android Apps and Games] raptorddd:
used latest 76 this is what am talking about... you can see we sent a message

i sent 1 she sae it then she sent me 2 i saw it then i sent 3 and so on.. see picture... but if i leave chat area. and go back to wall.. then comeback to chat its all right.
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
It's clear but as I already said I can't do anything about it: it's not the patcher's fault... Your problem is unique.
[Android Apps and Games] raptorddd:
but what could cause that if others are okey.?? is it something on my device?

app ops? purify? disabled services?
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
How would I know that? I'm an engineer, not a visionary. :)
[Android Apps and Games] DhAnd:
Hey Brother try to install the Facebook Marketing direct and then extract it with "Apk Extractor" then pull to the PC and try applying the patch. May be your problem.

Sorry my English.
[Android Apps and Games] raptorddd:
ill do that and report tomorrow its late here almost 2 am.. thanks
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
Facebook Marketing? I don't even think that's an existing application, but even if it existed the patcher wouldn't do anything to it: it's intended for FB4A (Facebook for Android, 'com.facebook.katana').

Don't advise things that will not work, please.

Mod: just tested 77.0.0.0.9, everything works great.

uninstall fb app that you have.. if you really want to use that same app.. download android assistance and make a apk back up. it must be a a user app not system..

then install
[Android Apps and Games] DhAnd:
Hey Broter, I'm not advising nothing wrong I meant to him direct download Play Store, many say "Market", I think he understood me, I don't understand why you're saying it. :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:

[Android Apps and Games] motfis:
Hi, can you make the video tab as optional during the patching? Personally, I don't really like that tab....
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
I can't do that, sorry. This patcher is intended to re-enable Messenger code, it's not among its responsibilities to remove features that Facebook has recently added.
[Android Apps and Games] motfis:
Ahh.... I thought it was added by you. Because that tab appears right after I install the patched FB (by patcher v1.4)...

Really coincidental in the right moment....
[Android Apps and Games] jineshpatel30:
he he..Looks like you are getting to much request to remove all the craps added by FB :D

And You are trying your best to avoid getting "I clean up FB's mess" Tag line :p

on a serious note, i appreciate all your effort for messenger.

To all requester please cross verify what you are asking is related to FB or Patcher, this way we can keep thread clean and stop wasting OP's time which he may utilize in some more productive projects ;)

Good news for everyone who has preinstalled Facebook apps or wants to install other apps from FB: the problem is solved. V1.5 is coming this evening.

I also experimented with voip calls, I could easily add the needed rows to xml files to make the in-call UI working but there were some issues with the RTC library so the call could not start properly, the other end was just ringing and got a notification of missed call. :(

[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
That's a unique error.

If you're on Marshmallow you should enable Camera and Storage for Facebook.

If the Messenger window asks you for permission and you tap the button it will not work as it tries to manage permissions for 'com.facebook.orca' and not 'com.facebook.katana'.
[Android Apps and Games] DaveX2012:
Thanks...
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
It seems that installation of patched versions on devices that have Facebook preinstalled is not possible.

I thought that I might just remove FB specific permissions from the patched app and that would be okay -- that is not the case.

After removing all 7 internal permissions the device says: another package had already been installed with a different signature.

So rooting remains the only solution for people with preinstalled FB apps to use the patched version.

Mod: but with the removal of these permissions, you'll be able to install other useful apps from Facebook, e.g. Pages Manager or Hello Dialer.

- Better logging and error handling

- Other Facebook apps can now be installed

- Backwards compatibility down to V59

Mod: This is the final version. There will be no more feature updates just newer versions will be supported in the future releases.

Also I think that there is no need for a GUI, it is really easy to do the patching with the help of the included batch file.

Thanks for your work!
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
There is a problem with the apk.

I also tested it with 77.0.0.0.34 from apkmirror and worked well.

You can also try to delete the c:\users\[name]\apktool directory's content and run the patcher again.

Same error with 75.0.0.23.69 downloaded from apkpure.

Edit: Now it works! Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
Then delete the content of the previously mentioned folder. There may be an older version of android framework stored that does not contain some resources that are referenced in these apk's. Apktool (embedded in fbpatcher) will extract a new framework there. Hope that this helps.
