This is how to use the Old Version of Facebook, and Facebook messenger.

Thanks to everyone for their previous work on this.

:)

I've recently been interested in mitigating the high data and process usage of Facebook apps (Facebook & Facebook messenger).

Long story short, it seems Facebook can detect how much space one has available on the phone you are using. It will ask you to install Facebook messenger when it detects you have enough free space available.

I wonder if anyone here has experimented with creating a dedicated partition for Facebook? That way it might not detect that there is space available outside of the partition to install Facebook messenger (In Theory).

I have found a little workaround in the meantime though.

I hope it helps:

1. You can either install a very old version of Facebook, one which has messenger built in.

I've used Version 2.2.1 which is available at the link below. It works fine, it allows messages to be sent and is only 14 MBs or so. ;)

Here is the link ↓:

http://www.androidvipclub.com/downgrade-you-facebook-android-app-and-solve-any-problems-created-from-the-update/

2. Or, you can install a very old version of Facebook messenger which will work alongside the regular Facebook app.

Here below is the link for old versions of Facebook messenger ↓

http://facebook-messenger.en.uptodown.com/android/old

You could experiment with having the full version of Facebook running with the older Facebook messenger app, or visa versa.

Some of the old Facebook versions allow one to upload to a specified photo album. I found that feature available from around version 7 of Facebook which you can search for at the uptodown link below:

http://facebook.en.uptodown.com/android

I am running version 1.6.004 of Facebook messenger which I have included the APK for here.

This APK version I downloaded from the links I've already given, and I've attached the APK files to this post too. (Other versions are available at the links I gave).

It is working alongside a regular Facebook app. Everything seems fine. :good: :victory:

Hello, can anyone give me link for v84 stable for kitkat?

I know I can convert it with fbconverter but my PC isn't working right now and needs a heavy hardware repair.. So it would be very helpful if anyone upload the apk and give me the link!

Thanks for you great work!
[Android Apps and Games] anastasiszn:
Bro use 84.0.0.0.10 in alpha releases, i have kitkat and works perfect,messenger and voice message :)
[Android Apps and Games] Tetragrammazoid:
MA Shishir,

Hello, is it Facebook Messenger v.84 you're looking for?

I'd upload the .apk but I think the file size is too large for XDA guidelines. Facebook messenger v.84 is available at the link below.

(You can also search for the regular Facebook app at the same link.

If it helps, give us a like! :good: ;) )

Every version...

Everytime I open messenger on any of the patched ones, ifb closes or "stops working". The only one I can get to work is the one provided in a thread labeled as version 55 dependencies removed along with fb chat enabler. It works for the lost part but won't allow me to go to my profile...says "cant connect right now".

Im new here. Dont know how to post or send help message. But i want to use Facebook without messenger app apk. It consume too much space and my ph is not rooted so i dont have permission to send app to sd card. Using MI 2 Prime Android 5.1.1, when trying to install Facebook chat ebabler apk it wont install always said same error message, passing error. What need to do. Any suggestions with weblink to download the alternative app apk fot my device. Please respond
[Android Apps and Games] Kurumith:
Hi! First of all, thank you very much for speding your precious time developing this app for the community. I really appreciate that!

The app works very well in my S7 edge. But the Samsung Touchwiz, by default, blocks the DS4 funcionality. Probably their intention is to sell the samsung controller.

Anyway, I have a Ipega controller that works with my smartphone, but just some buttons are recognized by your app (X, O, left stick).

I wonder if there's a way to map ipega controller to full funcionality and, if does, can you give me a clue how may I do that? Maybe tell wich file I should edit in this app?

Thank you for your time and good luck.
[Android Apps and Games] wolfballz:
This isn't my app. This is a patched version of the original facebook app. You would need to ask facebook about mapping controller buttons.
[Android Apps and Games] wolfballz:
This isn't facebook chat enabler, thats a different thread. This is a patched version of the original facebook app.

Hello everybody and congrats for brillant job!

i tried to read all the forum before posting, i apologize in advance if someone treated the issue:

with patched apks we can send vocal messages, but is there a way to retrieve the incoming ones?..the app says Upgrade Facebook in both cases (outgoing and incoming) but outgoing are still playable.

thanks a LOT!

I'm quoting one of the Dev(s)...

"If you're trying to install a 5.0+ variant on a pre-Lollipop system, try patching & installing a 4.0.3+ variant"

It looks like your using a patched Facebook app that is not compatible with your Android 4.1.2.

Android 4.4 (KitKat) is an older version than what most users are using.

Though I'm sure that it ma work under KK or even ICS, i will more than likely not work under Marshmallow & Nougat.

Anybody knowing if these apks can be installed on an s7 edge? Much obliged.
[Android Apps and Games] wolfballz:
As long as you can remove the currently installed facebook on your device. If it was preinstalled on your device you will need to root and uninstall with titanium backup or the like since it will be a system app if preinstalled.

[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
Just a quick question...

First, the Facebook App (on the Play Store) reflects v106.0.0.26.68

Second, the most recent download of the modified Facebook app (within this thread) reflects v99.0.0.26.69

Now, I'm not criticizing the great mod you are providing (and I love it!) but, i know that there's a simple explanation to this question....

Has a v106.0.0.26.68 been patched? OR is that version not able to be patched?

Just wondering my friends!
[Android Apps and Games] wolfballz:
So far nothing past 99.0.0.26.69 is patchable with the latest patching app. I can't say for sure since I'm not the OP of the patcher itself but it seems there is no more development.
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
I saw some posts regarding some kind of Russian Facebook Patcher that, apparently, is able to patch more up to date Facebook apps.

I'm curious to know if it was verified as being reliable or was a waste of time.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed. LOL!
[Android Apps and Games] wolfballz:
If you can find the other patcher and provide a link I'll give it a go.
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:

[Android Apps and Games] KingJames1996:

[Android Apps and Games] xlollomanx:
Latest version cannot be patched.

[Android Apps and Games] KingJames1996:
Never?
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
Correct.. Never...

Until/unless someone out there can figure out (or locate) how to untie the noose that Facebook has on the newer versions of the app.

That pretty much the bottom line at this time.
[Android Apps and Games] powerserge1:
Sorry to ask but earlier in the thread someone posted patched FB apks with messenger built in that were also themed. Transparent and blacked out. Either it was this thread or somewhere else. I did try to use the search but nothing came up.

Can anyone share what they have? Even if it was FB lite. I am using swipe pro and there is also Metal but these do not work for push notifications and do not currently work with google assistant either. Thanks for any help.
[Android Apps and Games] wolfballz:
YES! A new patcher was released by [MENTION=7414440]lorantm[/MENTION] and I will begin patching and uploading again. I am trying out 110.0.0.0.18 alpha right now and will provide link soon. I can patch 108's later today.

Here is 110.0.0.0.18 alpha (ARM 5.1+) https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767132505 tested and working great.
[Android Apps and Games] enga018:
what about messenger part?? same as that of 95.x.x.x. version or messenger part is the mobile site??
[Android Apps and Games] wolfballz:
Yes, it still uses the mobile site portion for messages but it's working great. Facebook completely removed the messenger code so built in messenger will never be back. Although this doesn't open a separate browser, it's right in facebook.
[Android Apps and Games] enga018:
just tested....and i still prefer to use the one with messenger code enabled...this one's really good though
[Android Apps and Games] wolfballz:
Use what works best for you. Unless FB puts messenger code back in we won't have it anymore but these patched versions work great.

[Android Apps and Games] lorantm:
You should try a fresh install (remove the app first and reinstall it) or you can simply clear app data as alpha versions often crash if you don't do that after updating. But I rather suggest using the latest stable (79.0.0.18.71).
[Android Apps and Games] Conte Mascetti:
Hey there, here's version 55.0.0.18.66, chat enabled without any need of "chat enabler", unlinked from playstore so no worries about unwanted updates. Once in a while there's a splash screen asking you to update, just tap on "not now" and you're ok. I'm using this version right on my device :)
