well, it seems that there's a big problem with the facebook update for many users,

I completely uninstalled both facebook and messenger and rebooted my device and

I tried to install the 16.1 version (downloaded, not re-signed or anything) and it was still refusing to work!

the same issue I have in both my phones, both nougat,

one with aosp and the other with stock rom,

I don't know what you did with it, but I think that the apk has issues,

please [MENTION=5029215]evilwombat[/MENTION] fix so that we can install as well,

because installing/updating seems impossible at the moment
[Android Apps and Games] el_easy:
I think the problem is the DEX format that evilwombat changed, that's why all the parsing the package problems and errors.
[Android Apps and Games] church_foster:
Bugs I've encountered so far on 16.1:

* I can't search in the pages or groups, clicking on the search icon doesn't do anything.

* Albums, see all photos doesn't work too.

* The facebook logo at the home page doesn't hide itself when I scroll down. I need to clear cache & data for it to disappear.

But still thank you for this ad-free mod! Hopefully dark mode would come soon. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] drakenabarion:
Newest version seems fine to me. ?

Some issues include:

Can't click on albums in groups/pages/events. Tap all I like, they don't respond. (screenshot attached from a random page I recently looked at of where I mean). See all albums also doesn't work.

Can search for groups etc in search but can't click on then in the results as clicking doesn't respond.

I will keep a lookout for more bugs. ?

The process you used to "uninstall FB" does not uninstall the application rather it hides it. There is no true way to completely uninstall a system app without root.

The error shown in the attachment is becoz u already have a version of facebook installed on your system which is higher than the debulshified FB version.

Try to uninstall update for facebook from the playstore and hope the original version is older than the debulshified facebook version. Then try.

[Android Apps and Games] evilwombat:
Hello hello. Minor update - the Video tab ("Watch" tab?) seems to have reared its ugly head, complete with red notification badges for things I never cared about in the first place, which Facebook wants me to care about because they're trying to grow their video platform. Sigh.... I thought I had taken care of this (like I did with the Marketplace tab) and yet the Video tab is back. I guess they weren't pushing this to me when I made the 16.1 release, so I had no way to test the patch for the Video tab... but after a minor tweak, that patch is working again.

This is a minor update to the 16.1 experimental release, but I'll leave it in a post for a few days, before updating the top post. If you actually like the Video tab, it should be fine to stay on 16.1.

facebook-lc-v16.2.apk

As for the compatibility/installation issues, hmmm. The base APK that I used for this release was labelled as being for "Android 5.1" on apkmirror (or so I remember, anyway), but looking more closely, it looks like the APK requires minimum API level 26, which corresponds to Android 8.0. This unfortunately leaves a lot of older devices in the dark. I've been meaning to go back to using the Android 4.1 version as the base APK, but they are using a new "redex" format for packaging the DEX files, and between work, work, startup life, work, more work, and the revent PG&E power outages, I have not had any time to try to reverse-engineer this yet. Some things about it seem straightforward, but there seems to be a lot of extra data that goes with the DEX files, and I'm not quite sure what to do with it. When I have some time, maybe I can take a look. In the meantime, the previous release should continue to work for Android 4.1+ devices. Yes, the "new UI" has a new color scheme, but you really aren't missing anything.

As always, have fun, and good luck!

Finally a clean version of FB I've been looking for this, I hate the extra stuff that the official has and also the useless updates that didn't really make anything better. I don't want to offend anyone but I just wanna say that I hope this doesn't leak our info's or anything, other than that everything's working and the bugs that the others reported doesn't really bother me so it's fine. Great work.

[MENTION=5029215]evilwombat[/MENTION] if it's not much trouble, can you look into below 4 things to make this version rock-solid for long run ?

We can't interact with anything in groups and profiles listed under albums. (Can't open Pics in Albums )

Sharing Pic form post to External like Whatsapp is also not working

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

Sometimes stories are visible "in-line"

For compatibility with previous version of android, users can try to use apps like https://appcloner.app/ or similar, as they have option to decrease minimum android requirement from my previous experience at modding. Though i won't be able to help much as i haven't done it for a long time but just play with the settings when you press clone and see if you can get something useful. You may need premium version of AppCloner which you can buy it or find it from somewhere. Do share outcome here for others.

Has anyone got Facebook + Messenger Lite working without problems? Currently all options will result in an "App stopped...Would you like to report.." Using Android 10 and MIUI11 and both apps without the stupid stories part would be the dream. Currently using 15.3 LC and Messenger v236, however notifications are acting strange while using Messenger. They're not coming through at the same time as using via browser.

Would prefer to use Lite, but when clicking on the group chat or settings tab the app closes making it unusable.

(Previously used Facebook 78 APK but after new Android update the app wont open).

Facebook-LC-v16.1 & v16.2 still cannot installing on Lolipop
[Android Apps and Games] evilwombat:
Yeah, this is known. Their base APK was actually for Android 8.0+. I need to figure out the new redex structure to support the APKs targeting older versions of Android.

In other news, is anyone else getting SLAMMED with absolutely ridiculous and desperate update notifications for Messenger?

For some inexplicable reason, someone at Facebook thought it would be a good idea to:

- Send out push notifications for Messenger updates

- ... every four hours

- ... with sound

- ... ... that sounds like the new message sound.

- Oh, and on top of all that, Messenger tries to directly serve you a new APK to install, because screw going through the Play Store? This is where Android warns you that Messenger is not a trusted source of APKs, and give you an option to allow installation from this source. Uhh... yeah, okay, no thanks.

You think someone is sending you a message, but nope! There's an update. I honestly cannot for the life of me fathom what the **** they were thinking when they implemented this.

I sincerely hope this is a bug, or an A/B experiment gone bad, because this is a whole new level of desperation, as far as nagging is concerned. The only other "reasonable" explanation I can think of is that they really want to get people off the previous version(s) because of the buggy icons, but even then, using the standard "messenger ding" sound to signal an update every four hours is worthy of someone in UX getting fired. Aside from that..... /shrug.

Either way, since this is a whole new level of obnoxiousness, I'm trying to spin up a new patched version of Messenger (migraine be damned). The good news is that the icons are no longer glitching out (I think). But, this still needs a little more testing - the current experimental APK is still only about 15 minutes old, and I've been writing this for the past like, ten, so... yeah, needs more testing. If things go well, I'll post an experimental version tomorrow hopefully....

However I have issues with FB and especially the Marketplace. Lately, like 2 days back, I have issues with opening people's adds. Some open but a lot of them just render the display blank. Not sure what this is. Has anyone seen this too? I have cleared the cache but no effect. So problem is elsewhere I guess. Any suggestion how to fix this? Any assistance is appreciated.

[Android Apps and Games] krkhaha:
Hi. it is possible to install on device with preinstalled facebook?
[Android Apps and Games] evilwombat:
Okay, so, uhh, new plan. I rebased to a later version of Messenger (v241). The good news is that the icons are no longer glitched. The bad news? The update notifications are *back*, in less than a week! And they're equally as obnoxious as before. This is absolutely ridiculous. What the hell are those people thinking? Someone in UX and in Product Management needs to be fired.

Despite the lack of a fix for the update nags, I'm going to post the newer messenger because (a) it's newer than the previous version, and (b) it has un-glitched icons. To deal with the update nags, I recommend hiding them via the Android Notifications menu. I think they are a different category of notifications than, you know, normal messages, so it should be possible to block just the notifications in the "Other" category. And we'll just have to deal with the occasional "interstitial" update popups for now.

In the meantime, I am going to dig into the code and see if I can rip out some of these nags. The main facebook app is enough of a project as it is, and I was hoping that Messenger wouldn't turn into a whole other project - I am still in a startup, and we are launching very soon, so time is still limited. But this is just too obnoxious...

Although these nags are frequent, they are not something I can reproduce on command. So, even if I have a patch, it will take some time to test, because it's hard to prove a negative. But you gotta start somewhere...

Anyway, here's the updated Messenger:

messenger-v241-resigned.apk

As always, have fun, and good luck! I'm gonna go dig into this garbage.....

[Android Apps and Games] Godecki:
I don't know if my issue is related to the Messengeor or OxygenOS, but for some reason the notification sound for Messenger keeps changing from none to "Ringtone from internal storage", where nothing is picked. This means no notification sound, but when listening to music the volume lowers when the notifications arrive, although they don't produce any sound. It happens during several hours or so, I can't figure why and it's so annoying. I have to manually change the sound to none every damn time.
