[Android Apps and Games] sevenlife:
Is facebook preinstalled at your rom? Did you unistall it first? Did you read the instruction from dev or just read the title of the thread, you like it and just download it.
[Android Apps and Games] trainfire:
The app is working fine for me on Mate 20 pro. Only bug I see is that sometimes pictures posted in the comment section dissappear. No big deal though
[Android Apps and Games] deggar:
A lot of peeps asking for updates. Here's some tips. Reminds to uninstall any authentic facebook/messenger apps. Install lc-16.2 facebook and 241.2 messenger. After the apps have been running on your phone for a while, hence all the new facebook nuances have been performed. In order to not receive constant Messenger updates go to phone settings/apps/messenger/notifications and deselect "other" notifications. With facebook, go to phone settings/apps/facebook/notifications and deselect "device-level notifications". Both apps work wonderfully. Some gifs don't display but otherwise only minor issues. Kudos to app development.
[Android Apps and Games] chelseaadam:
1. What if my phone came with Facebook as a system app, and I can't uninstall it?

I am not sure if somebody mentioned it, but I think it's worth to add that a workaround could be flashing official Australia ROMs by ODIN which comes with no facebook apps preinstalled. It's an official software and by doing that you will not trigger knox or anything and you will not loose access to samsung pay etc.

Apk Upload for samsung phones

This is a good guide here dt.gl/privacy-cookbook-chapter-5-2-cellphone-security-samsung however the

-k

means to keep data, so you could remove the -k option, to wipe it completely. just don't remove something important.

I did exactly here and it worked for me on my s10 (stock no root). so 10 years (htc sensation 1st phone) and 3 android phones later, after knowing this site and reading here. I have created an account originally to ask for help and to give back. so here is my 1st post.

here is messenger full version apk file. made using the method above with app cloner.

mega.nz/file/cxogkAiD#InB-ONB069IJzHl58qD2vdpF0aHAxGfz7Zd4skDqMn4

of course, I did think about the Facebook app but then you can just use the mobile version or use Facebook lite. I don't see much difference between the 2 versions.

For security-conscious people. Like the person who did the original app mod, again you have my word that I have not introduced Skynet into the app.

But here is the virus total link virustotal.com/gui/file/9c42b7468dc68c329c67186a0bb97c3615fe66ade98a2e7cba39be7434678690/detection

You can just extract the apk using something like 7zip and poke around.

Has anyone had issues with the latest version of Messenger from the OP force closing? It just started happening to me a few days ago, and it seems to be getting worse.
[Android Apps and Games] jineshpatel30:
download new version from apkmirror and sign both FB-LC & Messenger new version manually as per 2nd post in this thread (linked in my xda sign as well)

I don't use messenger personally but FCs might be due to old base

PS: ads would be there as messenger won't be modded like OP but it'll probably fix your FC problem.

---------- Post added 30th May 2020 at 12:03 AM ---------- Previous post was 29th May 2020 at 11:59 PM ----------

Not all ads but yes "suggested for you" posts started showing on every scroll.
[Android Apps and Games] Flapjack:
So if there are extra things, why not just install the latest? Without maintenance, maybe it's time to just give up the fight (or go with a hosts-based ad blocker).
[Android Apps and Games] jineshpatel30:
Because host based blocking doesn't work in Facebook even adgaurd and similar adblokers don't work.

So it's either this mod or none
[Android Apps and Games] GoodSpeed150:

[Android Apps and Games] Leon:
Hello everyone!

I tried to install messenger-v241.2.apk and everything went fine. The app didn't want to run properly because of its old build. After trying to remove it and installing it from the play store it bugged. Now I can't have a messenger from play store anymore. Also, I can't install it from apk. Probably some files aren't deleted. Does anybody know how to fix this without doing a full wipe?
[Android Apps and Games] Sq.Ragnarok:
Hard to take you seriously surrounded by troll people like this, and even harder to take you seriously when you take what I said so literal and describe it like 'BS'. Get away, dude. I didn't unsubscribed to keep getting your notifications.

My problem was against demanding people who think they DESERVE a new version for free, not you for using FB.
[Android Apps and Games] Flapjack:
Oof. I wasn't aware of that.

I'm still getting the FCs, though I forgot to mention the other issues, and that is the resets. Every few days, the app will be set back to default. I'll have to log in, change to dark mode, and enable external browser for links.

It's because facebook updates the app every other week and for developer it's hard to update as frequent as facebook. There are still all major features available and I personally don't mind the slow update as all the other goodies of this app are far important to me.

No ads so far. Very happy with a newer version of FB, with no ads, thats is all i need, no ads.

Plus a dark blue theme. The only thing is that tittles in every post are unreadable due to the theme. There ia a place to disable blue theme.?

About security concern. Just enable two step authentication and review logins.

[Android Apps and Games] Flapjack:
It's not a bad alternative, but I don't understand the "Facebook 2" naming scheme. It seems to interfere with how the app normally works with Messenger (latest version from thread OP). For instance, if I'm in Messenger and click on someone's profile, it'll open in my browser instead of the "Facebook 2" app.

The blue theme is nice, but as someone else pointed out, obscures certain things. I'd love to just disable it.

Your file doesn't even load in app cloner. Can you made a apk with a different packgage name?? Similar to apk from channel the begal. ( they renamed to com.facebook2.katana2 ), you can install it as a separate app, no need to modify with app cloner.
[Android Apps and Games] 684102:
I was confusing about the crash when change package name. that why i keep the original

- Facebook will open in apk section, in the options, select "Storage Options", and select "Redirect external storage", and select enable.

- go back, and select "Cloning Options", select "Skip native libraries".

- go back, and press de blue button on top to build a new cloned apk, let the app install the new apk.
