thanks for the clarification and the info. i didn't want to apply any pressure at all.

i mainly wrote because startup time seems to be longer for me since a week or two with v8.2 and because the app shows that there is a update available above "find friends".

whenever you find time, a update will be highly appreciated. thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Ketsueki_Takayanagi:
This app is perfectly fine to skin using substratum. I'm currently using Swift Black with it and looks good. If the Dev wants to make a full black version that would be great, but in the meantime substratum is a good substitute.
[Android Apps and Games] Matvei27:
It seems that Messenger ads are out in full force, but some of us like the picture annotation features that you don't get with Messenger Lite :(
[Android Apps and Games] camapghe:
Just for my reference, can the Substratum change the keyboard to black? I'm on Samsung S7. I don't mind purchasing the Samsung addon and the Swift Black theme, as long as it can change the total layout.
[Android Apps and Games] Ketsueki_Takayanagi:
Keyboard is based on theme if you're using the Samsung keyboard. If you're running on Nougat you can try Envy's theme on the S8 forums.
[Android Apps and Games] camapghe:
I'm on Nougat, using an S8+ port ROM and Samsung keyboard. Really need your confirmation before I click buy :p :p :p

Anyone discovered the config to change for disabling messenger emojis?
[Android Apps and Games] JRJ442:
You have like 2 hours to refund on any Play Store purchase. That should give you more than enough time to buy it, see if everything themes and then refund if it doesn't.
[Android Apps and Games] xezrunner:
Any news on MobileConfig in latest versions of the apps?
[Android Apps and Games] d14gvn:
I've wanted to Uninstall this version and install the Facebook from playstore.

Couldn't did that because error 505...

Cleared data and cache from playstore and Google services and rebooted.

Problem persists. Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] dclutter1:
What version do you select in the dropdown (inside Substratum) for Messenger? This modded version is 126... and the SS themes available for Swift Black are 131. and 132.

132 won't install and 131 causes Messenger to force close.
[Android Apps and Games] Ahmad Moemen:
There's a new Facebook version released with new clear icons, Can you add this new UI in the latest patch? Sorry if this is BS.

Cheers:)
[Android Apps and Games] lesp4ul:
Can you re-signing facebook ads manager too, please? Thanks [emoji2]
[Android Apps and Games] camapghe:
End up bought it and totally forgot to refund. Now I'm using it combining with Samsung Theme. Substratum can't turn OP's Facebook to total black background with with text, and Messenger is unstable as well. I had to download the original version and only Messenger turned black.

Hope that evilwombat will have time and update both Facbook and Messenger to a newer version.
[Android Apps and Games] JRJ442:
I don't think Substratum can turn any version of Facebook totally black. I've tried other themes before and they can't. I think some things are hard coded and WebView so subs can't do much with it. TBO used to invert Facebook. I don't think they do it anymore because it's a nightmare.
[Android Apps and Games] d14gvn:
Any ideas here??

Confirmed, both modified messenger and facebook causes "error 505" after uninstalling them and installing originals from playstore.

Tried clearing data and cache of playstore, cache of google services, rebooted terminal.

Tested on oneplus5 running OOS 4.5.10 [MENTION=5029215]evilwombat[/MENTION]
[Android Apps and Games] camapghe:
Fair enough. Can't expect too much, at least the Messenger is black, but the notification is black and white, which is a turn-down to me. I will consider 2$ is the cost for turning the rest of Google apps to black. Meanwhile, Samsung apps like Calendar, Calculator, etc. , especially the Keyboard is still white. Do you guys know any fix?
[Android Apps and Games] Ketsueki_Takayanagi:
Try this theme if you have a Samsung device. https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/theme-bodhisattva-t3652515
[Android Apps and Games] camapghe:
Well, may be I expect too much on Susbtratum, since I "accidentally" purchased the add-on for Samsung phone. If talking about the Sam's theme, I was more than satisfied with the Candie Dark theme.
[Android Apps and Games] Ketsueki_Takayanagi:
You can use Substratum to theme apps and a Samsung theme to theme your keyboard, contacts, calculator, etc. The theme I linked is not a normal theme you can get from the Samsung theme store it themes most things black like places and such and also includes black notification window as well.
[Android Apps and Games] camapghe:
Thanks for the clarification. I just found this theme is a perfect match in every single detail for Swift Black

This version of facebook looks promising but I have an issue with two facebook pages that cant be loaded properly and so I get an error message while loading

And please I would love a black MOD for this one.

Hope you keep the app updated as more as you can ?
[Android Apps and Games] mikeprius:
is the fb messenger lite app the newest versiob is messenger 126 apk ?

[Android Apps and Games] vasilis_:
Dont bother about people getting silly just because they want the latest version.

You are right these updates are making the app more battery consuming.

And what about a black MOD ? Is it something that can be dobe ?
[Android Apps and Games] theduke7:
Anyone found any solution for this, so its either i use this mod or clean flash the whole rom, there must be a solution to removing this and being able to install other fb veraions
[Android Apps and Games] Drhedphuk:
Why not just install Google Gboard and theme however you want.
[Android Apps and Games] camapghe:
I prefer Samsung Keyboard than Gboard since Gboard requires me to install separated Japanese keyboard, while Samsung let me combine everything in one, and I can type Romanji instead of Hiragana.
[Android Apps and Games] kgr:
Seconded. I'd love to use a blacked out version of this patched app also. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] EwOkie:

Also you mention turning off My Day

[Android Apps and Games] Wacky2bakky:
So I'm finally rooted on my s8+ I installed this modified version of fb so I can get access to the mobileconfig menu to activate marketplace access because I wouldn't get it on my phone with the newest version on playstore. I can get access to marketplace via the tab now but when I try to post an item for sale, it always fails and says to try again. Is there certain items in the mobileconfig I need to activate to get full use of marketplace?
[Android Apps and Games] radz_:
I think everyone here is trying to turn off My Day in Messenger.

Me, I am trying to turn ON My Day. My FB account is soo weird, whenever I log in my main FB account, I have no My Day in Messenger, BUT when I tried logging in my dummy account, my Messenger app switches to the new UI with My Day!! When I go back to my official account, it goes back to the OLD UI, No MY DaY!!

Anyone know why? Is there's something that I need to do to my official FB account?

I wanted to experience My Day thats why I wanted to have it enable. I never tried using it.[emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]

**PS, Also in FB main app, my official account displays a different UI compare to my dummy account.

Hello. I haven't really done anything about color mods myself, as life has been busy, and theme mods would lead to a bit of a combinatoral explosion of output versions. But, I imagine other themeing applications / techniques should work fine here. Most of my mods are to core code, so they should work just fine with standard color patching techniques....
[Android Apps and Games] vasilis_:
And what are the standard color patching techniques? Does anyone knows how can i get it done? Any guide or app that should get the job done ?

taking picture within the moded messenger is too dark.. is there a way to fix this? i think its an app issue, maybe an update can fix this?
[Android Apps and Games] JRJ442:
I somehow doubt he changed anything with the camera libs to change the way the messenger app snaps photos. Have you tested the stock messenger thoroughly? Meaning multiple photos in different levels of light to see if there's an actual difference.
[Android Apps and Games] EwOkie:
Really..... no one?
[Android Apps and Games] JRJ442:
In the screenshot you provided it literally says click on this helpful post. If you do that, the steps are outlined. I'm not sure if Facebook has patched that or not since XDA plastered it everywhere though. As far as the games and stuff you'll have to experiment. No one has mentioned anything about it yet

Can Stratum be used JUST to skin FB and Messenger? Idk if Stratum would give me issues with LG UX 5.0 of LG V20. I already have a black theme in almost all apps.

Thanks for your help.
[Android Apps and Games] Ketsueki_Takayanagi:
Yes you can use substratum on just this app if that's what you want. Just make sure the theme you choose supports Facebook. Also if anyone cares substratum can also be used to skin Facebook messenger and messanger Lite for those who use those apps (normal versions).
[Android Apps and Games] JRJ442:
Yeah you have to. Both Facebook and the Messenger app you use have to be signed with the same key. I think there's one in the OP you can use with this Facebook app.

is it possible to debug all the app's traffic using charles proxy? I used to use Xposed to do an ssl unpinning but in the latests releases of the facebook apk it doesn't work (if someone knows why, please tell me).

[Android Apps and Games] npfpn:
Facebook auto updated. Ridiculous.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Is it just me or both Facebook and messenger are slower compared to official apps ?
[Android Apps and Games] JRJ442:
Android has to build up cache on first installs. So most heavily bloated apps like Facebook are a little laggy at first. It will likely smooth out after a little while.
[Android Apps and Games] ANDR01DN00B:
No I've been using the LC Messenger for a while and it's NOTICEABLY more slower, as in it takes a very long time to start and I'm having multiple random FC messages. I've switched back to the official and the experience is much smoother. I'm patiently waiting for a new update!
[Android Apps and Games] JRJ442:
I don't see how enabling the internal menu would cause all that. You running the unofficial Xposed for Nougat by any chance? I get random force closes on Instagram and the current official Facebook Messenger several times a day.
[Android Apps and Games] :
I do not have rooted device and Messenger/Facebook from this thread both lag a lot and are noticeably slower on Galaxy A5 2017 Nougat.

Hello, will you be willing to work on final "vintage" version of Facebook in which functional inbuilt messenger can be enabled.

Via this mod

If you are, i have gathered some insight while testing it for past 2 years, with the version that has everything working "almost prefectly" (other than on that OP) which i will be happy to share with you, and will benifit users to get most

Elegant user experience combining both this mods.

If you think you are willing to go crazy :p and can get some time for this, let me know when you get some spare time.

Btw i saw in OP that you used 4.0+ version as base fot this mod in past, anf i don't know if you're still using same but i want to point out that for some reason choosing 4.0 as base version slows down entire user experience on 5.0+ devices (like some of users wrote last couple of days) , instead i would suggest to use 5.0+ as base and then convert it to 4.0+ users using conversation tool in OP i mentioned earlier, and upload both version for your future mods. (Just my observation from past, i might be completely wrong "technically" )
[Android Apps and Games] CONlN:
Yes, first you need to uninstall any "official" Facebook-related apps.

[Android Apps and Games] evilwombat:
Hello. I think the clear icons are a server-side "quick experiment" rather than a new version. Facebook loves trying out new design features on a subset of users. I actually got them on my app a few days ago (and I'm running the latest release posted here). Then, a day later, things reverted back to the old icons. Experiment must have ended...
[Android Apps and Games] evilwombat:

[Android Apps and Games] evilwombat:
Sure. Here you go:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wte93w5evcckvyi/msg-lite-08282017-resigned.apk
[Android Apps and Games] evilwombat:
You might be able to, actually. Just be careful. In the Internal Settings (I forget which one, but long-press either the Notifications icon or the Menu icon), there's an option to specify the default facebook server the app will use. By default, it will use the "main" server, but you can also set that to the "beta" server, or to individual server instances of FB engineers (either of which are obviously NOT recommended, and will get us shut down super quickly).

But, you might be able to point the app at your own (proxy) server, or just use an inline proxy. There's also an option to disable SSL cert checks, which will probably come in very handy for what you are doing.
[Android Apps and Games] evilwombat:
You might have ended up in a "quick experiment", which FB will sometimes use to test radically new things on a small fraction of users. Or, someone screwed up server-side and accidentally deployed a testing UI to more people than necessary. Or, they tried to deploy a new UI and ran into problems, so they rolled it back.
[Android Apps and Games] Sopepa:
Sigh...looks like I need to root my phone to delete the built in FB app. I tried to install this app but was not successful... I got the error saying something about existing package even though I had deleted (well actually disabled because there was no uninstall option) all the official FB apps.

[Android Apps and Games] evilwombat:
Hey guys!

Has anyone started seeing "Recommended for you from marketplace" ads in the news feed (or some such)? This looks like a thing that was activated at the server side recently. How many people (aside from me) are seeing it? I wonder if this is yet another "quick experiment", or if this has gone live for everyone...

If you are seeing this junk, here's a candidate version that might hide it, if you are feeling adventurous:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/8thkl1pcikylf31/facebook-lc-v8.3.apk

If you do try it, please let me know if this gets rid of marketplace recommendations. Once again, the code paths here are different from how most of the feed works, so I had to try something a little convoluted here. If there is an organizing principle to the internals of the facebook app, I have yet to discover it :D

This version is only a few hours old, so it's not on the main post yet, but I'll be trying it out over the next few days (as time permits).

And this is what happens when you are sleep-deprived:

[rant]. Aah, facebook. Guys. We get it. You are trying to upsell your silly marketplace, to get more "conversions" by throwing marketplace topic subscriptions in our faces, because growth in developed markets is slowing and you make significantly more profit per user in a developed market than in emerging markets. Guess what? Nobody cares. The reason we aren't embracing marketplace and buying more stuff is not because there aren't enough ways to buy and sell stuff online, or that we've somehow forgotten that facebook has a marketplace for stuff. No. The reason we aren't buying more stuff is that (gasp) we already have enough stuff, and if we need more stuff, we know plenty of better ways to buy stuff that don't involve facebook. But marketing executives and product designers have a tendency to operate in a warped version of reality that caters to their own wishful thinking, as is typical in large companies.[end rant]

I'm gonna go pass out for a while. As always, have fun, and good luck.

EDIT:

... but before I go pass out, what are people's thoughts on Tabs? I haven't found a way to *add* a tab, but I *just* found a way to hide them (change not yet uploaded anywhwere). Should we nuke the Marketplace tab? The Group tab? The Video tab (though it looks like that last one was turned off at the server). Currently, the only tabs I have are Feed, Notifications, and Bookmarks. Again, this might FC tomorrow morning and I might have to start from scratch. But whatever. Now, I need to get to sleep.
