Just facing this issue while Opening A Group from Search Result (check screenshot).

However, when I open the same via Search History, no such error is thrown.

[MENTION=5029215]evilwombat[/MENTION] , is this a known issue? What is this exception handler doing?
[Android Apps and Games] Sab3elbromba:
can someone please link a signed version of the latest FB and messenger from this post as I am using a MAC and can't sign the APK
[Android Apps and Games] debmaj2:
These are already signed.
[Android Apps and Games] Sab3elbromba:
I always get the error attached when I try to install so I thought was because it wasn't signed, any ideas why this is happening?
[Android Apps and Games] Jouros:
What device are you on?
[Android Apps and Games] Sab3elbromba:
OnePlus 7 Pro running Android Q
[Android Apps and Games] Jouros:
Were any fb apps preinstalled? If so thats your problem. This app wont install if any fb apps were preinstalled even if you uninstall them using ADB. You would need to root the device and remove all traces of anything linked to FB before you can install it.
[Android Apps and Games] Sab3elbromba:
Nop, nothing came preinstalled, however the play store Facebook app and messenger app were previously installed but I've removed them a while back.
[Android Apps and Games] Jouros:
Ok then thats preinstalled. If they were on the phone when you bought it then they were preinstalled. Odds are something from them is left over and they are keeping this from installing.
[Android Apps and Games] Sab3elbromba:
I've finally found the culprit, I had workplace installed for work and it's another version of Facebook, once I removed it and installed the version of FB in the OP it worked like a charm :)

I have installed the workplace app that has been signed with the test-key and it worked nicely too, however the workplace chat URL for the version signed with the test-key is not working, can someone sign the workplace chat with test-key and upload it please ?

Trying to install the modded Messenger v236 and getting an error:

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION: Package com.facebook.orca attempting to redeclare permission com.facebook.permission.prod.FB_APP_COMMUNICATION already owned by com.facebook.katana]

I can't revoke the permission. This is a freshly factory reset Galaxy s8+ running android Oreo. What can I do to fix the permission?

Android 10 forced dark mod showing white on link and comment section..

Anyone know how to fix it?
[Android Apps and Games] evilwombat:
"Suggested posts" are something you'll get on "low engagement" accounts. They "technically" aren't sponsored posts or "special" posts, so they don't hit any of the usual places I patch. I was seeing them for a while and was trying to get rid of them, but then I started having trouble reproducing them, which makes this a lot more difficult... maybe it is something I can address in the future. Startup life is still in "crazy mode" but I can get some time here and there.

That said, I've been testing out a more patched version of Messenger for the past few weeks. It still only tries to block ads in the inbox, but the main thing I am trying to fix is the (utterly obnoxious) update nags, which I have mentioned in some previous posts. I have an experimental patch for them, which seems to have been working for the past few weeks. So, either I managed to fix the nags, or they just haven't started popping up yet. But we won't know until we try :)

Here's the new Messenger APK:

messenger-v241.2.apk

(I'll go update the top post, too).

Anyway, as always, have fun and good luck!

[Android Apps and Games] JRJ442:
I'd think you'd have to wait for Facebook to fix that on their end, especially since dark mode isn't official yet or even available to everyone on 10 to test.

I got my new Note 10+.

I have completely removed facebook app from my phone. (iam not rooted), I deleted it using adb commands.

now I am trying to install this app, and I am getting message as 'App not Installed'. Can you suggest, how can I install the app?
[Android Apps and Games] onliner:
With ADB you only "uninstall" the app from the userspace but the official apk is still in the system, during the installation process the signatures don't match and the installation fails.
[Android Apps and Games] atrix4nag:
Thanks for the explanation, so is there any solution to fix this, or i have to live with pre installed app, until I root my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] onliner:
Exactly.
[Android Apps and Games] Garyy16:

I'm running into an issue where I can only install either Facebook or messenger. But when I have Facebook installed and tried to install meesenger from playstore, it doesn't work. I restarted my phone. Cleared cache and cleared storage. Maybe I should wipe dalvik cache?
[Android Apps and Games] sevenlife:
You cant install this facebook and official mesenger. They are sign with different keys
[Android Apps and Games] mursederp:
I understand that. But just saying I tried other options to get both Facebook and messenger installed. As of now I can only install either Facebook apk or messenger apk. Even when all cache is wiped
[Android Apps and Games] deggar:
Download the app "zipsigner" and resign both apps (facebook & messenger) you wish to install with the "test key" and then install both. Ensure no other versions of facebook are already installed.

Updating the Previous list for Bugs in 16.x,

Some Groups are not loading any content below description so we can't see any posts of that group

We can't interact with "albums" in groups or profiles (i.e. Can't open Pics in Albums )

Sharing a Pic from any post to External Apps like WhatsApp or Downloading Pic from hamburger icon on Right Top of Pic is not Possible, As Icon is not there. (It's there in official FB & 15.3)

(Option next to GIF for new comment) Comment Strikers are not loading

Sometimes news-feed shows "in-line" stories (I like it as it gives the option to check stories without seeing horrible story bar on top.)

As much as I love to stay on new UI, some of these bugs are deal-breaker. So, going back to 15.3 after using 16.x for a month or so.

I hope you can find some time to fix these issues soon because even 15.3 has its problems due to old base like comments are not loading correctly, but still, it's not a deal-breaker as 16.x.

"App not installed"

Hey, I've got s10e (exynos, non-root, Android 10) with preinstalled Facebook app which I've already uninstalled (no ADB). When I'm trying to install 'de-bullshified' messenger, the only message I can see is "App not installed".

Do you guys know how to manage with that issue? I don't have any other facebook apps installed. I searched the thread and saw that someone was struggling with same problem (he uninstalled all FB-related files with ADB), but no solution has been found :(

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] DariasLuc:
SamSung preinstalls 3~4 apps related to Facebook

1. Facebook

2. Facebook App Installer

3. Facebook App Manager

4. Facebook Services

Facebook App Installer, Facebook App Manager, it auto update itself, and can be disable.
[Android Apps and Games] mixxone:
Thanks, but it seems that there is a problem somewhere else. I disabled and forced stop all 4 facebook apps, unistalled instagram, messenger and whatsapp, but still getting same message "App not installed.".
[Android Apps and Games] Jouros:
Im fairly sure if fb is preinstalled just uninstalling it and other fb apps isnt enough. You either need to root use ABD to remove all traces of it
[Android Apps and Games] nowmymail:
[MENTION=5029215]evilwombat[/MENTION] I'm having the same issue, I uninstalled all Facebook traces using adb but still get the "App not installed" error. My device is Samsung galaxy s10+ with android 10. Would really appreciate any help :(
[Android Apps and Games] adilrenzu:
U need to root to uninstall the preloaded facebook. Using adb commands just disables it.
[Android Apps and Games] RiccardoCipolletta:
First time I write here, sorry if I make some mistakes in every possible way.

I just wanted to tell to you that I have the suspect that Facebook (as well as instagram) is killing adblock apps. Everytime I open facebook, ADshield or similar apps get killed after a short while.

I know that this Facebook version has NO ads, but it's still annoying going through my adblock trying to restart again and again, slowing down the phone and needing me to manually fix this everytime I open facebook.

Some useful infos:

- My phone is a Honor 9 lite (model is LLD-L31) 32/3GB

- I already applied the "Don't kill my app" guide for it

- EMUI version is 9.1.0, build is 9.1.0.149

Hope you can fix, thank you for all the work you are doing!
[Android Apps and Games] iTalisman:
Same issue here. Running AICP Pie on my OP6. Either Facebook or Messenger installs. Cannot install both. After installing FB when I try to install Messenger (tried it the other way as well) it says 'App not installed'.

So I have installed the latest messenger from evilwombat and installed the previous Fb version 16.1.
[Android Apps and Games] X3NOM:
Not sure if this has happened to many other users but I tried installing the Facebook app you provided on my Nexus 5x running the Android O DP3 and right after it's done installing the apk file my phone restarts everytime, can you please fix this issue. I'd love to use the apps but both of them aren't working for me.
[Android Apps and Games] evilwombat:
Restarts? That sounds like a phone problem, or a bug in DP3 (perhaps conflicting with an existing APK somehow, though that should have prevented installation in the first place). The startup code between my version and the stock version is the same - there are only a handful single-instruction patches throughout the secondary DEX package.

Do you have 3rd party app sources enabled? Have you tried sideloading via ADB?

Edit: Argh. It could be that DP3 is incompatible with some of the evil things that FB native code does to the DVM, to support an app of such sheer size. In order to support older devices, my modded app is based on a version of FB for Android 4.0.3, which still might try to do runtime patching of the DVM. But unless they're somehow messing up the zygote process and triggering a secondary failure somewhere, that shouldn't be causing the whole phone to restart.
[Android Apps and Games] karliyo:
Perhaps just use Greenify for it.
[Android Apps and Games] Bewildered Wolf:
[MENTION=5029215]evilwombat[/MENTION] hey bro.

I would like to ask a question.

Can you add a feature that in how much interval the app should be updated.?
[Android Apps and Games] manoy_patikan:
I'm using greenify. It only works for a few minutes. Facebook is very persistent. It runs on network change, calls from other apps, and who knows what else, etc... Everybody would love if someone can implement Arstoien's request but I think it would be very very difficult as most apps has a call to FB which somehow wakes the app. There's a previous request to change the package name of the app, which I think would somehow do the trick as calls to FB won't wake the app due to its different name, but I guess we haven't got much luck on that either. I just learned to accept and live with it. Good thing is, it runs much lighter now that it's debloated. :D
[Android Apps and Games] karliyo:
Why not just use Facebook in browser then? :D
[Android Apps and Games] manoy_patikan:
That's one way of doing it but nah, I prefer this MOD over browser and some other good wrappers. Background process is something that I can compromise in exchange for a smooth and ad-free feed. With all the useful FB features intact and the crappy ones gone.

FB internal settings has so much stuff that I just leave it the way is it.. Do you think in all this settings there is a way to active FB Messenger inside to use one app?
[Android Apps and Games] xezrunner:
I've looked in both app's internal settings GK / MobileConfig sections, and basically, most of it is A/B testing true or false values. You can enable a new experimental look for the top tabs in the Facebook app, though it's bugged and you can't scroll the feed, you can enable 5 (or 6? can't remember from the top of my head rn) tabs on the top, you used to be able to move the tabs to the bottom like on iOS, though it seems to be broken now, you can even enable an "Interesting fact" post "method" that doesn't quite work yet. In Messenger, you can enable 2 kinds of splash screens, one static, one animated (my secondary account got this A/B testing by itself but main one not) and you can even force enable the Settings for the M Assistant. There's also some kind of "Aloha" option that brings up an "Aloha Setup Bot", which is hidden from public and has 0 likes, and the bot doesn't appear to function. Not to mention the fact that you can make Messenger dark-styled (background wise) for certain threads, kinda like Mauf but more difficult to control.
[Android Apps and Games] Assunta_Maggio74:

[Android Apps and Games] evilwombat:
Long-press the three horizontal lines to the left of the 'globe' icon at the top right of the screen (the notifications icon).

You can also long-press the globe icon itself (this dumps you directly into MobileConfig). You can also long-press the leftmost icon in that same bar to go directly to feed settings.

[Android Apps and Games] Jouros:
You dont always need root for these apps to work. Make sure you have every offical fb owned app uninstalled 100% before installing these. You may also need to resign the apps. Some newer devices that come with the apps preinstalled like the s10 or s9 generaly need to have the phone rooted to completely remove all traces of the fbs apps from the device before these apps can be installed. Best thing to do is research your device and see what needs to be done.

[Android Apps and Games] bmwbasti:
Guys, just a quick question. I love using the 15.3LC version, because I don't like the optic/layout of the newer versions.

Since a few weeks I have problems regarding comments. At almost every topic I see "xy comments", but when opening comment section it's way less comments. It's not that kind of bad as I got a selection where I could select several options (all, most relevant, only Top Fans, etc) and then could set it to all and all comments were visible.

But I don't have this selection anymore, it's simply gone ?

Ist this some Facebook related stuff or is it because of the version of the app/the "age" of the app?
