[Android Apps and Games] deggar:
I'm still using lc-12.3 and have had no issues but thought I would uninstall, reboot and reinstall just to clean things up. After reinstalling the "stories" would show up for a couple seconds and then disappear. I logged out, cleared data in app and installed again. Now the stories header doesn't appear at all but the old right menu without text has appeared. This has happened in past and after a while it seems to sort itself out. Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] TwinkieMurf:
Damn, thanks dude. Really appreciate it.
[Android Apps and Games] adam_ky:
Thank you so much for updating. I was almost at my wit's end with Facebook.. tried other things like maki.. all suck. This is the only way I can have Facebook or messenger on my phone. Thanks again
[Android Apps and Games] fireplayer:
Please [MENTION=5029215]evilwombat[/MENTION] - THAT is the one thing that would make these releases perfect. after all you yourself agree on stories being...well...bad. why not remove it in messenger too? or perhaps allow a patch / menu option to do so?

Hi,

Is it possible a dark mode for this mod ? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Sudhangshu:
For Facebook or messenger....?
[Android Apps and Games] takur69:
Help Me :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] drizzt09:
It means you already have a Facebook installed and need to uninstall it first. Then install this one
[Android Apps and Games] livetek:
Sorry, I mean for Facebook, Messenger already got Dark mod, thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Sudhangshu:
Nope man there's no option for dark mode in facebook.
[Android Apps and Games] livetek:
Some APK was modded to be black but now there are old and with lot of bugs.

It was very cool for Amoled screen, hope it will be a new features for this nice mod, thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Sudhangshu:
Yeah a true dark theme will be better for amoled.
[Android Apps and Games] livetek:
This is the one I use for example :

A combo Dark Mod + Adless Facebook would be a Beast !
[Android Apps and Games] Marvino.:
This looks just awful, I can't really stand looking at this for a day.

The default white is adequate enough for this socially oriented app. If we just could lower the tone of whiteness (somewhere between white and grey) this would be truly perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] Jadelor:
You guys know debullshified isn't a colour mod, right?
[Android Apps and Games] livetek:
Hi,

Have you heard of Youtube Vanced ? It's the same thing, a de-bullshified version of Youtube and with the possibility to have the Amoled friendly version.

It could be great to see this on this APK too ;)
[Android Apps and Games] dr4go:
Then why don't you simply use substratum to give this app a different look? Just saying...
[Android Apps and Games] livetek:
From what I know, Facebook changed their code to prevent overlay theming. I don't know about APK theming

great job on the last update ,thank you
[Android Apps and Games] me2kimi:
Dear, I got error when try to install FB-LC. App not install. Tried install using ADB, got this message.

SOLUTION:

uninstall com.facebook.mlite using ADB and re-install FB-LC using ADB.
[Android Apps and Games] liwenjing93:
Thanks for the update version 2019.
[Android Apps and Games] Marvino.:
I ran every kind of installation issues, and now I can tell that the solution is very simple and universal to all kind of errors.

Cause of the errors:

1 . You try to install FB-LC over the official version where the installer fails to override the installed app.

2. Discrepancy between signatures. The official app has it's own signature while FB-LC has another different signature. This is exactly where all the issues come from. For some reason, it's IMPOSSIBLE to install two or more FB apps with different signatures on the same device. The whole FB apps bundle MUST have the very SAME apk signature before installation otherwise it will result in errors.

Soultion:

1. First and foremost, you need to uninstall any Facebook related app if you want to use the modded versions.

2. UNIFY the signatures. As written above, the FB apps bundle need to have the same APK signature in order to recognize and communicate with each others and the installation process succeed.

There are many ways to sign the apk. The most simple & easy & effective one is using APK Editor Pro. :good:

After you deleted all the related FB apps, download latest FB-LC.apk > open Apk editor > choose Select apk file and select the downloaded FB-LC.apk > choose Common edit > then you will be presented with the screen as shown in attachment.

Now all you need to do is this simple step that will cure all the evil installation problems once and for all.

> Select Internal Only from the drop down Install Location menu. Then click Save.

Repeat this procedure on Every & Any FB related app you want to install on ur device (Messenger, Lite, FB Groups..etc) as this will allow you to generate APKs with the SAME signature which will install smoothly without any kind of problems.

The generated Apk will be located in Internal memory\ApkEditor\temp. Find it, install and voila! :fingers-crossed:

Disadvantage of this solution:

You'll no longer be able to update or receive updates to the installed FB apps from the Store because Google Play will no longer recognize the installed apps as official.
[Android Apps and Games] tisoccerfan:
Much thanks. Def like the update. I know I'm late. Lol
[Android Apps and Games] Predatorhaze:
so wich theme themes facebook?
[Android Apps and Games] XxSUPRAxX:
Stock facebook (rooted)

My Phone had facebook stock installed.

Force uninstalled all facebook releated apps.

Installed this one and facebook wont start. crash on loadup

I was just giving up at this point, and now I cant even download the original Facebook from Play Store.
[Android Apps and Games] bilrage:
Doesnt work on my phone when i try with adb i get this error :( Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE: Package com.facebook.katana signatures do not match previously installed version; ignoring!]

There is a way to uninstall it totally i have a Samsung S10e
[Android Apps and Games] drizzt09:
Because it sees another version installed. From add try:

adb shell pm clear com.facebook.katana

This will clear all data and cache for FB (revert to fresh install)

Then run:

adb uninstall com.facebook.katana

This will uninstall current version

Then install version from first post

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 PM ----------

Did you uninstall all Facebook apps. Facebook, FB messenger, Instagram, whatsapp?

Try using adb to clear out data.

adb shell pm clear com.facebook.katana
[Android Apps and Games] bilrage:
Its still doesnt work :(
[Android Apps and Games] drizzt09:
Did either command provide results?

What happens if you list 3rd party packages? Do you still see katana or Facebook?

Adb shell pm list packages -3

(Btw if at adb shell prompt start command at "pm")

-e switch shows only enabled apps

-3 is 3rd party

-d disabled

-u includes uninstalled
[Android Apps and Games] dr4go:
I missed that completely... Thanks for pointing that out...

LIVE VIDEOS have been fixed in recent Facebook versions. Please update the source apk.

Also update the messenger lite please.
[Android Apps and Games] Jouros:
Are you have issues with live vidoes? Ive watched about 8 or 9 live fb streams with 0 issues. You sure its not a traffic issue? All the live streams i have watched have had less the 100 people watching so not sure if that makes a differnce.
[Android Apps and Games] NeoHiPPy1980:
First off, I want to thank evilwombat for the hard work!

I may be nitpicking here, but I've installed the latest "stories" version (LC 15.3) and have noticed that my notifications feed (bell icon) has blown up like somebody dropped an a-bomb on it. I updated from the old "stories" LC version (14.2) and it's now showing 999+ in the recent notifications. Scrolling through it, it would appear that I'm receiving EVERY SINGLE UPDATE from every one of my friends. I'm not sure if this is a glitch in the re-coding, if it's a bug from the source FB app, or if it's simply due to it being updated, rather than a fresh install... Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm going to try clearing out the data and cache, as well as removing the account, to see what happens, and will report back. Just figured I'd chime in with a little something I'd noticed.
[Android Apps and Games] DarkCod3r:
only issue i am facing this app is that i am unable to load comments.. keeps getting connection error when click on load comments.. any fix for that..? rest is working fine. using this app for around a week and havent seen a single ad yet..
[Android Apps and Games] kotla85:
does anyone have mirror for the latest apk-s? unfortunately, androidfilehost is down.
[Android Apps and Games] Marvino.:
Does anyone else faces this problem? When uploading images in the comments section the app force closes... also when updating status..!

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.katana

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.orca

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.system

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.services
[Android Apps and Games] Jouros:
If fb messenger is pre-installed or its an official version you will need to do the same for that uninstall everything related to the pre-installed/official fb messenger app. FB ties both apps together and you cant install the modded apps if any of the pre-installed/official FB apps are still on the phone. I dont know if Instagram applys to that or not i never use it and im on a note 8 so it wasnt pre-installed and i never/ will never download it.
[Android Apps and Games] CroGamer1:
It's not possible to install Facebook LC on any Galaxy S series phone starting from the S6 without rooting. The method you suggested only uninstalls the app from the current user and not from the phone itself. If you factory reset the device you can still find the Facebook app on the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] rajmagi:
Instagram already removed and all facebook related already removed with adb shell command as per my original post. Any other sugestion?

---------- Post added at 06:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 AM ----------

So impossible to install as current user if fb is installed in system?
[Android Apps and Games] Jouros:
Your original post just mentions all the hidden things attached to the official FB app nothing about the official FB messenger app. Thoes would say messenger not facebook.
[Android Apps and Games] drizzt09:
Pretty sure katana is fb

And orca is fbmsgr
[Android Apps and Games] Jouros:
I was under the impression messenger had its own sets but its been a while since i messed around with that stuff so i could very well be wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] drizzt09:
easiest way i find to get a package name is look for the app in google play via browser on PC. it shows package name in address bar.

Orca https://imgur.com/Mcz6BNl
[Android Apps and Games] sonnguyen.vn:
Same here. I using N9 :(
[Android Apps and Games] CroGamer1:
Yes. The only options are changing the package name which requires programming knowledge, rooting or that Samsung removes the app in a future system update (highly unlikely). There is no other way :(
[Android Apps and Games] ycmak:
Same here.
[Android Apps and Games] Marvino.:
Another problem is same notifications are showing repeatedly on app start up?
[Android Apps and Games] gabritb01:
Same for me. I also can't open searched pages or group. If I search something in the top bar when I click on the result I can't open the page. This behaviour is here since version 14 or even before for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Marvino.:
Pretty same here.
[Android Apps and Games] Kanzar:
Just want to confirm on my s9+ despite ADB removing all the Facebook associated apps and services via ADB, it was not possible to install this app.

I changed by CSC back to my home country's one that doesn't have FB pre-installed and was able to install these no problem.

...but now I've lost call recording. :(
[Android Apps and Games] sonnguyen.vn:
Whats CSC non facebook pre-installed?
[Android Apps and Games] Kanzar:
I'm using TEL which is Telstra, suspect XSA (unbranded Australia) isn't either.
[Android Apps and Games] DasMacken:
Just in case you or others with the same issue don't know: you can work around this by clicking the page/group after searching, then go back to your feed, press search again and select the group from 'Recent searches'.

It's pretty annoying, but at least it works.

Other than that, you also can't open albums from pages. If anyone has any work-around for that, I'd be really grateful!

[Android Apps and Games] bibikleio2013:
Hi to all.

Which is the latest version of the app?
[Android Apps and Games] K3V1991:
Version 15.3

Facebook LC (the main reason for all this):

Latest version (most up-to-date, but received less testing as a result):

facebook-lc-v15.3.apk

If you like the (uhh, snapchat-like) "Stories" feature, use this version instead. It has all the other mods, but it doesn't get rid of Stories:

facebook-lc-v15.3-withstories.apk
[Android Apps and Games] Marvino.:

[Android Apps and Games] tinko975:

[Android Apps and Games] Tisckkytt:
Lite version provided here is not de-bullshified. It's just signed with the same key so that you are able to install it with the actual moded version. & It's old.

Messenger in fb lite is so bad, I'd suggest Messenger-lite instead.
[Android Apps and Games] tinko975:

[Android Apps and Games] Gladiator00:

[Android Apps and Games] beejkitsune:

[Android Apps and Games] church_foster:
Pls add dark theme to fb lite and messenger lite.
[Android Apps and Games] Avhill:
This is a debloat mod, not a theme mod, so you'll be getting dark themes when facebook implements it.
[Android Apps and Games] quanqw:
Black theme is very important feature.
[Android Apps and Games] drizzt09:
But a feature that has 0% of a connection to debloating. The developer here takes the existing version of Facebook that Facebook provides (without dark theme) and "removes" bloat. There is no "additional" features added. That is not the purpose of this project. It is to "remove" bloat.

If Facebook decides to provide a dark them in Facebook then I'm sure the dev here will "remove" bloat from that version too.
[Android Apps and Games] Bearthquake:
Swipe for Facebook has a dark theme.

Maybe you should use it instead if dark mode is truly a "very important feature".

Either that, or learn to develop and theme it yourself.
