[Android Apps and Games] evilwombat:
I am referring to the following items in the Notification area. This example is a little different, and it's possible such a menu is not available for all notification types.

(For the record, I don't actually care about the Broncos - this is just a test page :) )

As for Messenger... I haven't played around with changing APK package names, but here's my understanding. Do you think we should put up a bit more of an FAQ about signing, keys, package names, and issues that are possible due to key mismatch?

I'm a bit ****ed in the head right now (due to some work-related things) so it may not make full sense, but maybe this could be a start?

1. All Facebook-related applications on any given phone must be signed using the same key. This is what allows them to talk to each other (in terms of account / notification info), despite technically being separate applications. Normally, when you install FB and Messenger (and other stuff) from the Play Store, this is not a problem, because these apps are already signed by the same key. However, any modded version of FB (such as what is posted here) will be signed with the key of the person who modded it. Therefore, when installing a modded FB app, it is necessary to uninstall *all* other FB applications (including Messenger) prior to installing the modded FB app.

2. If you wish to install a Messenger app along side the modded FB app, you have two options:

A) The first post in this thread contains links to Messenger (and other FB-related apps) that have been re-signed with the same key as Facebook LC. This allows them to coexist (and co-operate) on the same phone without issues.

B) You can grab the APK for Facebook LC, the APK for any version of Messenger you like, generate your own signing key, sign them BOTH with the key you generated, and install them both on your phone. This will work just as easily. The upside is that you have more choices over which exact version of Messenger to install, but the downside is having to go

3. What if my phone came with Facebook as a system app, and I can't uninstall it?

This is unfortunate, because trying to directly install Facebook LC on such a phone will result in a package conflict. The phone will not accept the modded FB app because it has the same package name as the System FB app, and they are not signed by the same key. One possible solution is to use something like APK Editor (or perhaps something that's free) to change the APK name of Facebook LC from the default name ("com.facebook.katana") to something unique, to avoid the package conflict with the System FB version. However, this may lead to residual problems with the interactions between FB and Messenger. Even though you can probably re-name and re-sign both Facebook and Messenger, the problem is that even through their names have been changed, the communications code inside them will still refer to the original factory names for each other, which can prevent them from properly communicating. This could result in FB showing Unread Message notifications, even though Messenger has consumed them. I... am not sure how to get around this, but perhaps someone who's had to deal with this directly can provide more insight.
