How did this turn into this app versus wrapper thread? They each have their own place.

Some wrappers are way better than others. I have one myself yet I do use this app. No wrapper uses contacts since.

Download Both latest Messenger and Facebook and I see they work nice. The only issue I have with messenger is that sometimes when I chat on the Messenger it popups the same message in a popup window from Nugget android. Currently using Nokia 1025 7.1.5 version

Me too. I did the same thing as you and still getting the error that something conflicts with the app. Even the lite version of the app doesn't get installed

Use the application "ZipSigner" to sign the applications with a new key. And I'm pretty sure you can output the new file with a different package name which will allow you to install.

Could you share your apk with me? I successfully changed the package name (I think) but it still did not install... Maybe I did it wrong.

I used the default auto-testkey mode and it didn't work. There isn't an option to change package name. I manually changed the package name with APK Tool and it still wouldn't uninstall.

So is this mod all over for us on lollipop 5.01????
[Android Apps and Games] AleScanu95:
For who don't be able to install on a device where facebook is pre installed:

1) Disable pre-installed facebook from app settings (if you don't, you will not be able to access to this new facebook app)

2) Uninstall all facebook apps (not required but recommended)

3) Install Apk editor pro (you can install without pay it, but I suggest to support the developer) and change the package name of facebook lc (for example: from "com.facebook.katana" to "com.facebook.kutana". Less changes are made and higher is the probability of success)

4) Simply, install the new facebook app. Since the package name is changed and the default facebook app is disabled, there is no more conflict with the original app.

5) Optional: from Google Play Store you can uninstall the original facebook update to save space.

6) Optional 2: I recommend to install the modified Messenger app, it's awesome and useful. If you can't install due to a conflict, follow the same steps written above ??

Thank you very much evilwombat, for made this less crap facebook version ?
[Android Apps and Games] Hbluemn1:
I already tried this. I've tried changing the package name with multiple programs.

Ooh and sad news, still have ads in videos on facebook :(

Hi evilwombat!, any chance of having an Instagram app with the same approach as the de-bullshified Facebook?. Thanks! :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] chossen:
If you've installed it using apk editor is normal to prompt you the play store because it does bot corelate them
[Android Apps and Games] drakenabarion:
Oh I have this issue. It is annoying as heck if someone posts something in a group. You go to the group page from the notification, and the post linked to the notification never shows.

Using the newest version, btw.

Also, using the modded chat app. It's fine, but I would love to additionally not see the daily photo fake snapchat thing. Oh and sometimes it nags to update the app.
[Android Apps and Games] AmineHadef:
The group posts don't show up!

it shows "Error loading, try again".

[Android Apps and Games] jineshpatel30:

you will find my post or OP's post with link, use any of them suitable to you.
[Android Apps and Games] drakenabarion:
Seems to work well! Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] jineshpatel30:
In addition to this,

I made one more clone of 9.1 for 4.0+ devices today, It installs fine on JellyBeans device but that device only has 512MB ram which is very less to load this much heavy app so i couldn't test it after install.

I'm uploading apk, give it a shot & report if it works well after install.

Facebook LC-α_9.1_4.0+_Exprimental

Don't get your hopes too high but hey, it installed without error for me so figure-crossed :p

Good to know :)

If it works at 1st it'll work every time..I don't think you guys will get any extra bugs after 1st run.

Just check one more thing for me, see notifications are working or not

if that works means every things is good :good:

enjoy guys and Hit like for me... :p

---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------

Try the version i posted two post above.

Theoretical it should work side by side with official FB as well but to be on safer side disable/uninstall all other FB related apps and then install.

or you can even give it a go with all installed excepted Official FB to save time, if that works, fine ! if not go above total clean path and see ;)

[Android Apps and Games] ElaJohn:
[MENTION=4942685]jineshpatel30[/MENTION] After using it for hours it felt like really sluggish compared to the playstore version but aside from that notifs is working but it takes time for it to load, don't know what's causing it but i'm pretty sure it's the modded apk itself.
[Android Apps and Games] Hbluemn1:
It worked! Thank you. What I really was going for was messenger though because I can't stand the stories at the top. Do you have an apk for that with a different package name?
[Android Apps and Games] jineshpatel30:
Yah, sluggishness is the issue even with original modded version by OP so it's gonna be there till next version.

[MENTION=5029215]evilwombat[/MENTION] hey man, i hope you are doing good. i guess i found a proper way to backport your moded apk (finally) so when you update new LC version i can help with that :)

[Android Apps and Games] KyleBryant:
Running it on my LG aristo on 7.0, and my God it's so much better.
[Android Apps and Games] JRJ442:
You should be able to uninstall it with ADB too. There's plenty of articles online that'll teach you to do that. But with root it would be a little easier.
[Android Apps and Games] KyleBryant:
Doesn't really like being on the sd card lol, aside from that it's perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] pratik_193:
like many of the folks here, i too cannot install this awesome mod coz i am not rooted. is there a remote possibility to change the package name so that anyone who is not rooted can install this apk?
[Android Apps and Games] evilwombat:
Hmm. I could try, but I'm afraid there is only a tiny chance this will work. The package name is all over the place, in every class, and there are hundreds of classes. It probably wouldn't even link properly. Maybe if I did a binary search and replace.... but then all the dependent apps would probably also break. :(
[Android Apps and Games] pratik_193:
It would be awesome if you could give it a try.. Even if it breaks Messenger, that should not be a problem...
[Android Apps and Games] KyleBryant:
What kind of device do you have? If you're interested in being rooted it's fairly easy to do so if there's a method for your device.
[Android Apps and Games] quoakkaflocka:

[Android Apps and Games] teostar:
I'm still seeing "people you may know" . I'm using the no stories version which version are you using?
[Android Apps and Games] JRJ442:
"People you may know" isn't supposed to be hidden. "People you should follow" is hidden. That's like Zuckerberg and other people we don't care about. "People you may know" are normal friend suggestions, maybe you have mutual friends and they're supposed to show. In the OP it says nothing about people you may know being hidden.

Fun fact. Facebook won't let you block Mark Zuckerberg. I've tried because I was tired of seeing him pop up as someone I should follow. Lol

they kinda overkill with adding extras so see if uninstalling every last one of fb helps or not (if you want to go to that much trouble for this mod :p )

fbsync , calendar provider services all that small small system app and all
[Android Apps and Games] ElaJohn:
[MENTION=4942685]jineshpatel30[/MENTION] Can you try patching 147.0.0.44.75? It seems to be smoother than ver. 142. Tested those with original apks but I'm using your patched apk which is ver. 142 too.
[Android Apps and Games] jineshpatel30:
I don't create LC version, that's on OP. I'm here to make it compatible with older Android <=5.0, for some users. (if possible :p)

So my patch without LC update doesn't make any sense as you can always grab official FB for your device :p

After installing this, every facebook/messenger app force closes, ive tried uninstalling everything, cleaned system, dalvik cache data etc.. Still every fb apps crashes... My only option now is fresh rom install, that's all i can think off...
[Android Apps and Games] jineshpatel30:
I don't use any other FB app except Facebook LC but as some people stated in past posts, if you want to use other FB apps, they all needs to be signed by same signature,

Uninstall all those apps from your phone .

Grab apk files for all FB related apps you use (including Facbook LC)

& sign each with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kellinwood.zipsigner2&hl=en with auto test keys.

PS: if any FB app is installed as system app then you need to uninstall it 1st via root.

PPS : Taking a full backup is always a good idea if you are doing things which you are not familiar
[Android Apps and Games] jedi134:
Yes done all that.. What i mean is now even stock playstore fb and messenger force closes on me. They install ok, Im on imperium rom so have access to all partitions, and have deleted all fb stuff... Not to worry wanted to clean install to 18.1 imperium rom anyway... Now have and excuse..

[Android Apps and Games] buddy66:
This internal menu does not work on Day features. At first messenger looked ok with the dumb stuff away but at the next restart it suddenly turns all bull**** back on.

How to fix it?

I disabled MobileConfigs and now I presume that the app does not try to download those from Facebook server. Suddenly messenger looks de-bullshified again.
[Android Apps and Games] twe90kid:
messenger lite from this thread? or from the play store?
[Android Apps and Games] kgr:
From the OP of this thread. It needs to be signed with the same key as the FB app. So if you use the FB LC app from here, you should use the messenger (or lite) app from here too.
[Android Apps and Games] twe90kid:
When I read the messenger icon from lc-a it tells me messenger isn't installed. It brings me to play store.

I think this mod is now fooked the op hasn't updated in ages or shown his face, others have tried to mod/update to help out but strange things are happening...im happy with stock fb/ msg dont get many ads anyway...

I think fb have updated most of mods out of these old versions, hence problems.
[Android Apps and Games] madhatter05:
just installed

I just installed both on my 2 phones, Asus Z00t and Asus zenfone lazer 3 , and they work fine no issues. FB run MUCH MUCH faster now. I dont see any ads either. One phone is rooted and the other is not. I do have one question can we do updates from the play store or will they break the app? If they would break it I would want to disable auto update in the play store. Thanks for the apps and hard work!
[Android Apps and Games] Flounderist:
Same for me. Kudos to dev for this awesome mod. I am asking as well if updating the app will mess it or not.
[Android Apps and Games] wonsky21:
You won't be able to update it from Playstore, because it's signed with different key. It just won't update, no need to disable auto update.

anyway i'll add it for now since OP is OOR.

once he update next version i'll request Mod to clear one on the post below OP where i can keep cloned future releases, that will be better for all.
[Android Apps and Games] el_easy:
it's all good, because you're not interfered with his work, as matter as fact, you're helping him, he handles 5.1+ devices and you 4.0+ devices ..:good:

Edited: By the way a signature like this would look nice: "Evilwombat facebook-lc-v9.1 for 4.0+ devices''

because that way you're still giving him credit! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] jineshpatel30:
Most of people outside this thread wouldn't know what FB-LC mean plus my linked post mention that this is evilwombat's work in very 1st line.

Also I'll change link to OP once next update comes-out, right now there's too much confusion between 9.1, 9.2 & 8.2.

we hope our lovely debulshified friend to come back soon.Facebook managed to become so crapy that is almost useless to use it like old good times,cause of full of unwanted crappy ads,etc.I don't think that there is such a similar app worldwide and also it cooperates perfect with x messenger privacy and my day off xposed modules.
[Android Apps and Games] drakenabarion:
I rather get nagged slightly about the app being out of date than have to deal with all the Facebook spam. Heck I even rather broken feature!

Of course it would be so much better to never have to deal with all that spam on the first place.

Anyone remember when Facebook said they would rather shut down than have ads?
