Thanks for the reply but this has got nothing to do with caching, it's the way the newsfeed scrolls, the feed feels jumpy, it's not when I need to load new content, it's with all pages, even the settings.

Hi, i can't install latest Messager app on Aosp android 8.1. it said can't install. Uninstalled messager before.
[Android Apps and Games] xafe42:

But often the Facebook App und Messenger crash's.

Sorry for my bad English. ?

Does anyone knows a solution?

Hello,

I have a little problem.

When I search a page, I can't open the page when I click on the search result [emoji53]

Am I the only one with that issue?
[Android Apps and Games] Sander9847:
I have that issue aswell sometimes.
[Android Apps and Games] drreen:
I cannot open groups from search results, I get an error message like in the screenshot attached
[Android Apps and Games] selw0nk:
I believe that feature was removed to make the app small as possible. It annoyed me when it didn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] UlisesCNF:
I think the mod is getting blocked by Facebook. I can't use the app. Looks like I have a problem with Internet but it's not the case
[Android Apps and Games] bohemist:
So far, I just installed the latest version available and it is working.

I will be observing its behaviour as I use it.

Hopefully, this would continue working.
[Android Apps and Games] Binary Assault:
I've been using this mod for a few months without any issues
[Android Apps and Games] r-l:
Issue must be on your side. No issues here
[Android Apps and Games] samajid:

Thanks for the app.

Does this app do something about privacy.. like location tracking etc?

Any way to get this Facebook and Messenger app to install without rooting the phone?
[Android Apps and Games] Keinta15:
You can install it without rooting...

Sent from my OnePlus A6003
[Android Apps and Games] BIGWORM:
He may have Facebook/Messenger installed as a system app, for which they can't be deleted without root. He may have to pull the apk and resign due to the version check triggering and not allowing him to install because of them having the same signature. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] r-l:
Had the same issue on my previous phone (Samsung galaxy s7 edge). Things like Facebook & whatsapp (and more) where system apps.

My current oneplus 6 doesn't have that problem
[Android Apps and Games] kouzelnik3:
How does that work if anybody wants to get this debullshified version and want to have even the new "Messenger 4", when you have your own API? Does it trigger server-side even that or not?
[Android Apps and Games] ALYSKY:
any screenshots from this app?
[Android Apps and Games] Cryptecks:
Did you read the OP? It looks like Facebook, because it's just the standard FB app with things removed or hidden, nothing added.
[Android Apps and Games] r-l:
It's the facebook app with crap removed that is mentioned in the opening post.

So no screenshots necessary
[Android Apps and Games] MRDA1981:
Latest Facebook still muting my music apps with each sound notification. Reverted to v12.3, with working vibration, to get round the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] npfpn:
You know what would be great? A version of facebook that could completely get rid of their background services :)
[Android Apps and Games] Cherifiali:
Will the new version get de-bullshified?
[Android Apps and Games] PatricianVidya:
I just wanted to pop in and say that with FBLC both Facebook and Messenger frequently crash (even when they're not open, it'll give a "has stopped working" message). I've confirmed on several occasions that the regular apps have no such problems. It's my only reservation about continuing to use these, I really hope it gets remedied soon.
[Android Apps and Games] onliner:
Impossible without logs.
[Android Apps and Games] bohemist:
So far, I have not experienced anything unusual in both FB and Messenger. Both are working well without any errors or crashes.
[Android Apps and Games] vikasb32:
I installed this facebook but I am still getting videos(popular across Facebook)anyway to get rid of these type of videos?
[Android Apps and Games] MRDOCA:
Hi I have a weird issue. I downloaded the latest messenger from apk mirror. Signed it with the test key but now Facebook asks me to install messenger from play store if I try to open it from within the facebook app. If I use the last messenger build here it switches fine. But if I use the last messenger here I get update nag. Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] wonsky21:
Both apks must be signed with the same key.
[Android Apps and Games] MRDOCA:
Ok I'll sign both. Thanks

Can I download videos from app??
[Android Apps and Games] Jadelor:
Most wrapper Facebook apps are kind of like this. Frost and the like.
[Android Apps and Games] Binary Assault:
Anyone have issues sending videos via messenger in the latest version? Tried on two separate phones running the LC versions and both just fail to send, pictures seem work though.
[Android Apps and Games] MRDOCA:
Yes. I have a galaxy s8 and if I try to send anything bigger than 1080p videos they fail. Facebook has a minimum mbps for video. I found this out because I use the the s8 camera mod app and my 1080p videos wouldn't send because the mbps were to high.

If you convert you videos to a lower quality they will send fine. I think the max a 1080p video can be is like 2mbps for quality.
[Android Apps and Games] sai444:
Using it on OnePlus 3T having a strange issue. Minimising the app or switching between apps will cause the Facebook app(v5) to be cleared from memory and reloads again. No battery saving or optimisation enabled for the app.

[MENTION=5029215]evilwombat[/MENTION] - Just changed my phone & installed your version of FB.. wanted to thank you for this amazing version.. no **** is seen in the app now..!!
[Android Apps and Games] Juhkimo:
It happened to me too when I was using greenify. After I unselect facebook from greenify it opened without loading every time
[Android Apps and Games] sai444:
In my case I wasn't using greenify. So I guess something else is causing the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] evilwombat:
This is going to be far-fetched, but maybe the app data didn't get wiped properly between reinstalls?? I'd maybe go into App Info, force-stop the app, then delete its data, then uninstall it, then reinstall it. Or maybe there's an api key conflict between FB and an earlier version of Messenger or some such...?
[Android Apps and Games] sai444:
Will try that. Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] choice2rejoice:
I don't get it. I downloaded the apk in several ways, but every time the package is corrupt.
[Android Apps and Games] selw0nk:
Do you have Facebook pre installed as a system app?
[Android Apps and Games] choice2rejoice:
****! Removed it and it works. ?
[Android Apps and Games] sushuguru:
Hmmm, seem like it does not work with x86 device, "App not installed", FB and messenger already disabled.
[Android Apps and Games] gershee:
could not install.

conflicts with package of same name..

I don't even have Facebook installed..

I have messenger installed though...anyone?
[Android Apps and Games] evilwombat:
That's the problem. Uninstall your Messenger and install mine. Modded and stock apps from the same family don't get along.
[Android Apps and Games] evilwombat:
Yeah, sorry. This is only the ARM version of FB. I didn't patch the x86 version.
[Android Apps and Games] selw0nk:
Did you install messenger from the OP?
[Android Apps and Games] JJohnson1988:
Deleted.
[Android Apps and Games] alexcapone:
I have just installed the latest Facebook LC and signed Messenger and so far so good. Only thing I'm seeing is recommended posts which I have to manually hide. Hopefully I can blacklist most of them over time.
[Android Apps and Games] kaskalow:
Is there any way you can change settings like privacy for Facebook? For an a example make calls read sms and other stuff privacy???
[Android Apps and Games] Zenns:
Humm

No idea if the thread starter will read this but hopes there is a solution for this

When someone uploads a photo in album

Example my birthday 127 photos

While viewing some of the photos and swiping right or left pretty fast will cause the Facebook to stop responding :(

It happens on the official application as well.
[Android Apps and Games] senseijtitus:

[Android Apps and Games] redultra82:
Looks like the project is dead :(

Id love to go back to using it, but the original messenger(not the one signed to work with this facebook) lacks SMS and have to have this(my stock SMS is crap and dont want loads of apps)
[Android Apps and Games] Binary Assault:
Ah, that sucks. I was sending a 4k video lol.
[Android Apps and Games] KristianKenneth:
Is there a version of the app where we can still see suggested friends? Otherwise great. Exactly what I have been looking for.
[Android Apps and Games] :
I try to open Facebook LC v14.2 update but after facebook loading screen, the app closes without an force close message, i tried to clear data, but now i can't log in now, i needed to install an previous version of Facebook LC to use facebook again, in facebook LC 13.1 i can't check groups that i search, sometimes it doesn't nothing, other times it gives an error and if i search pages, when i click on some page it does nothing
[Android Apps and Games] dodgeviper12003:
It's not a resolution limit. They have a fixed 16MB file size limit. It can be any resolution.
[Android Apps and Games] MRDOCA:
That's not true I sent a 250mb video to my mother last night

If you look at the Facebook faq site it says its 2 mbps.
[Android Apps and Games] Binary Assault:
Of course, I meant that as my 4k video is 120+MB so if they have a cap, then I'm probably over it.

2mbps (as in megabyte/sec?) Care to elaborate?
[Android Apps and Games] dodgeviper12003:
Everytime I try to send one in message her it says 16mb limit and wants me to trim it. Even if 8 seconds long. I just use a converter and covert to a lower quality and it sends Everytime. I use to be able to send really large files but ever since the past two releases it has had this hard limit.
[Android Apps and Games] JaffaTB:
does anyone else have to sign in with the old style log in screen whenever you connect an app to facebook? on the official it automatically does it but with this i have to re-enter my details every time
[Android Apps and Games] Odenwälder:
So just to get this right, the user tracking crap stuff is still active in the last version?

" I haven't done manifest cleanup on this version (or the one before it, technically). That means stripping out annoying background services, location-related crap, bluetooth scanning, etc."

Are there any plans to get a more privacy friendly Version in the future or is this primarily an app to get rid of all the suggested (ad) stuff?

Curently i'm using Frost, but I want to switch to a more "official(ly)" FB App, but without all these privacy intrusions and surveillance FB-functions.
[Android Apps and Games] anonym6x6:

I don't want to be the "bad guy", but that was discussed months ago (You can use search function) and the answer was: no black/dark version.
[Android Apps and Games] Naveenmalik39:

[Android Apps and Games] tokarev7:
Facebook is making a dark mode for Messenger. It's actually already ready, it's just pending release. So, when that comes out and there's a LC version of that, it'll be here.

If you want a dark mode Facebook app, well that may not come anytime soon yet. You'll probably be better off with a Facebook wrapper, some have themes. Friendly and Frost come to mind.

The download links are available at the OP. They're not the latest but both FBLC and messenger are working well.

I'm using both without any issues at all.
[Android Apps and Games] theogabriel:
I know. Just that I have discovered some new features in the latest versions of Messenger.
[Android Apps and Games] bohemist:
Well...all we can do now is simply wait.

Btw, what particular features in the new version of messenger you're interested?
[Android Apps and Games] theogabriel:
Ability to SEE A PERSON'S PROFILE DIRECTLY ON MESSENGER app without having to go to the Facebook app or website.
[Android Apps and Games] wonsky21:
Do you realize, that Messenger is a ordinary messenger, only signed with devs key? You know you can do it yourself, without bothering devs ass? It was described many, many, many times earlier in this thread. Don't be lazy, and do some research ?
[Android Apps and Games] theogabriel:
Please update the compatible MESSENGER app for Facebook LC to the latest version of Messenger. It has some features.

Because whenever I resign the Facebook LC and latest messenger as instructed, my Facebook LC LIVE VIDEO section fails to load any videos. I have tried several times resigning the original Facebook LC and kept getting same disappointed.
[Android Apps and Games] bohemist:
Looks like we are going to be force to update soon... Hopefully this will continue to work.
[Android Apps and Games] aniphreak:
We are forced to update messenger to new version. Anyone have a resigned new apk we can download and install?
[Android Apps and Games] Axelguitt:

[Android Apps and Games] bohemist:
Yes, it does work. Hopefully, they won't force us to upgrade or it won't work.
[Android Apps and Games] Valiceemo:
Is there any way to install this on a device that is preloaded with FB ?

I've seen I can change the package name of FB LC....but how?
[Android Apps and Games] Sander9847:
Facebook doesn't let you chance the package name as far as I know. One solution is to remove the pre-installed app using root.
[Android Apps and Games] Valiceemo:
I'm unrooted unfortunately
[Android Apps and Games] bohemist:
A lot of phones allow u installation of Facebook and FB messenger apps. Try if your phone allows it.
[Android Apps and Games] ycats:
I'm unrooted and couldn't get these versions of FB and Messenger to work.
[Android Apps and Games] Valiceemo:

[Android Apps and Games] krkhaha:
Have you got plan to update messenger?
[Android Apps and Games] Sander9847:
But yes, a way to dissable ads on the new layout would be great. How does the ads patch work?

Or could there be a way to dissable it through internal settings? I know there's even supposed to be a way to enable the new dark mode trough employee internal testing. But can't figure out how to enable or bypass it.
[Android Apps and Games] Robert342:
It's only info about. Messenger version works now with this.
[Android Apps and Games] bohemist:
Yes, as I've mentioned it still works. We just hope they will just live it that way without us forcing to upgrade to the new version.
[Android Apps and Games] nextheart:
You can try APK editor pro or MT manager pro to change package name.
[Android Apps and Games] evilwombat:
Hello. Long time no see! Turns out startups are a ton of work :)

It seems like Messenger started to nag me about updates, so it's getting to be that time again. I spun up a new version last night, and hopefully I can post something after it's been tested for a few days.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Thanks for Your work! By the way sis you receive my pm about a feature update that might be useful? If no I can resend it ( I ask it because I don't see the message in my sent pm section ?)

[Android Apps and Games] towncop1978:
Awesome... We've been waiting patiently....
[Android Apps and Games] evilwombat:
Okay. If anyone is feeling adventurous, here's an updated Messenger, with the patches to (hopefully) get rid of the inbox ads. The mod is quite similar to what I had on the last release, so hopefully this will work reasonably well. But, the usual warnings apply...

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603877648

I'll let people try this out for a little bit, before updating the link on the first post.

If anyone found a way to install this on unrooted Galaxy S9 let us know, please. At this point seems impossible to me :confused:

I already try to uninstall those apps via ADB fastboot and they should be gone but when I try to install the modded version I see "app not installed". After this I try to install it via adb with "adb install facebook.apk" and I'm getting the error:

adb: failed to install facebook.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE]

I read that also can use this command "adb install -r -d facebook.apk" to overwrite the apk, but still doesn't work. I also tried with APK Editor to change the package name but after that, the app cant be installed. I'm getting a different error with messanger.apk and also can't be installed.

I get an INSTALL_FAILED_USER_RESTRICTED when I try to install via adb. And just app not installed via phone.
[Android Apps and Games] akshmau5:
Your problem would be that facebook is pre-installed in your new phone.

And the nasty part is it has a sytem app (named something else) so it can invade your privacy even more than it usually does and that specifically wouldn't allow this thread's facebook to install.

Either root or use adb commands to uninstall that fb and it's related s*** completely.
