Hi there, since Facebook v375.1.0.28.111 the app crashes at times. Also it is logging me out.

Would reinstalling solve the problem?

Update: Nope, random crashes still happens.

i am Using latest messenger and facebook. my phone is rooted. lspsoed used for chat head enabler. i follow all procedure that was given.
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
That's messenger bug, back option doesn't work when there's no app behind the messenger window. Use chathead icon to go back to other chat.
[Android Apps and Games] tusar8025:
thank You for your reply. is there any possibility to xiaomi fix the chat head problem? or it has remain bubble option?
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
It's still bubble, I don't know if they are gonna change it.

Might be a noob question, but what does this patcher do?
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Read 'Patching Instructions' section. (at the end of the main post)

Hey there! Could you please update the Facebook Lite apk thank youuu
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
I updated it 2 days ago.

[Android Apps and Games] jeires56:
Is this facebook related bug or is it because it is a older version of messenger?

This always appear it is very annoying

My friends doesnt have this pop up though they are using official version.
[Android Apps and Games] jeires56:
I've also patch the newest version using mrv patcher and the bug still appears. If I install the play store version this bug isnt there.
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Your screenshot is unclear, could you describe the bug in detailed steps?
[Android Apps and Games] jeires56:
I cant really show all because it includes pages that I don't own or shouldn't be sharing but this is a pop up windows showing other pages and accounts that can be switched.

This window always pop up whenever I open messenger or close a conversation or change tabs.

It is a bug from not updated Facebook App. I tried patching the latest version Aug 21 Facebook App and Messenger and this windows stop showing.
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Still not clear to me what this pop up is, I have never seen it before.

Does that mean your problem is solved?
[Android Apps and Games] resuta566:
This same to this but on a pop up.

Yes this is fixed by updating the FB App.
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Well, use the updated version then. :)
[Android Apps and Games] jeires56:
Yes, I am using the updated version. (y)
[Android Apps and Games] pascua28:
Thanks for this, but do you have a patch to enable bubbles instead of chat heads on Android 11+? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] resuta566:
Why r u even here. Bubbles is the default. 🙄🙄
[Android Apps and Games] pascua28:
No, it's not. Not at least on my device (OneUI 4.1, Android 12, Samsung S20 FE)
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
No, I didn't find anyone to test it.
[Android Apps and Games] Valneo:
Actually I am interested too : I don't know what triggers the activation of chat bubbles but I'm still on chat heads on my main account. Created a brand new account an chat bubble are activated here. I thought that it could be a server side switch but if you find anything I will really appreciate it !
[Android Apps and Games] pascua28:
I can test, if you want. But no pressure :)
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Start a private conversation with me if you want to test.
[Android Apps and Games] ItzSourov:
Can't install the messenger app it says "App not installed as package conflicts with an existing package."
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Read the main Post properly. You'll have to uninstall all Facebook apps first.
[Android Apps and Games] ItzSourov:
Thanks for the quick reply. I did Uninstall all of it, but I think my phone kept facebook prinstalled or something cause when I tried to reinstall it from playstore it didn't even take a second to install! my device is Redmi Note 10 pro.
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
If it's global rom, then you are out of luck. You can however install messenger with different package name, but it'll have certain bugs.
[Android Apps and Games] ItzSourov:
I've fixed the issue bro, Appearantly Facebook was active on my second space. Uninstalled it from there it's working great now. Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] JenieroseAcain:
I would like to know a fix for this:

I think it has something to do with the apk? This app limits me my 'daily chats' and I would suddenly not be able to chat.

I used a dual app (built-in in Phone) and it works fine there (no chat limit).

I actually am still able to chat with people, but only through direct/private messages; meaning, only group chats are prevented.

I have also tried chatting using PC, it works fine even though I have this message on the android one.
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Update #13
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:

Messenger bug. They introduced it in latest messenger.

Maybe Facebook rate limit issue, not related to the patch.

Thank you as always
[Android Apps and Games] pr0metheus92:
Where can I download the latest versions of facebook and messenger instead of waiting for you to upload them here? I ask because the Aurora Store and others won't let me download it after I've installed chat heads. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Read patching instruction from the main post.
[Android Apps and Games] pr0metheus92:
Can you make a video on how to do an easier update ourselves please!
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
I got little bit free time to finish the Android app for patching new update. Hoping to release it soon.
[Android Apps and Games] pr0metheus92:
Anyone have this error and what is the problem? In an attempt to update my messenger it is a question
[Android Apps and Games] Anistruk:
Had run the code and for me open Facebook but it stays all black :(
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
If your messenger apk is in the same folder as the patcher, then make sure you changed the apk name to Messenger.apk (or write the exact apk name in cmd).

I don't know what u did wrong, but it's a proper package manager command. Could be facebook bug, try older version.
[Android Apps and Games] Anistruk:
Had installed Messenger-v372.0.0.10.112-mrv.apk and the Facebook-v378.0.0.18.112-mrv.apk and now update to the last ones. The problem presists :(

edit: forget, it's something with my phone. It does the same with the apps from playstore. Miui 13 you suck!

@NeonOrbit Thank you! Work it, have a nice day, man!

Update #14
[Android Apps and Games] Siam_frox:
Even after I patched app by self with tarmux command and After install it says to update on playstore. But after installing the app given/patched by you, the update does not appear. Why shows update require on playstore when patched myself?
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
It's the exact same Patcher. Follow the instructions properly, and make sure you are installing the patched version (eg: file-mrv.apk).
[Android Apps and Games] Siam_frox:
Patched new update with termux properly but when check the playstore update, it show need to update app. I tried uninstall and reinstall messenger but not work..

I haven't tried patch with PC yet.. you need to check if it gets properly work patch or not, it if you give a video tutorial that would be great for us.

N:B: my phone is unlocked but not rooted..
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
I only gave instructions for PC, if you are using something else, I can't help you.

I'm about to release an android app for easy patching, better wait for it.
[Android Apps and Games] Siam_frox:
Appreciate that❤️
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Uninstall all facebook apps. If you have second space, you must uninstall all from there too.

If still doesn't work, run this adb command from PC (copy/paste).

adb shell 'pm list packages com.facebook | pm uninstall $(awk -F: '"'"'{print $2}'"'"')'

And then run this command: adb shell pm list packages facebook, if nothing else to remove, try to install patched apps.
[Android Apps and Games] L0st24:
Done !

Ir worked !

Thanks mate
[Android Apps and Games] TziMak:
Hello,

The last 4 days, I cannot see who is online. I did the procedure again and it worked only for 2 minutes. Would you please check? I think that it has to do with the latest official update.

[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
New versions are still same (with same issues). If you want to update anyway, let me know which apps you need.
[Android Apps and Games] MNLYT:
can you add messenger lite to the optional facebook apps?

Still the same request before. Messenger, Facebok and Facebook Lite.
[Android Apps and Games] MNLYT:
everything was working fine, up until a few days ago. for some reason, everytime i minimize a chat head, it takes 1 or 2 secs before i can tap anything else on the screen. could it have something to do with me upgrading to android 12?
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Wait until they release an stable version (1-3 days top).

Android 12 issue.

Hello, i downloaded the facebook app from here and found out that it was crashing. So i uninstalled it and tried to download it from playstore. But it seems like i cant because playstore says the app failed to install and the only thing now can be installed in my phone is the app i got from the link. So how to solve this? I want it to be installed from playstore. Please reply
[Android Apps and Games] mire777:
Hi, thank you for your great work..

Can you add option in chat head enabler app, that user can download and install latest version of messenger and facebook when its available? That would be great..

At least link to this thread and apk files would be handy.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] mire777:
You must uninstall all installed apps: ChatHeadEnabler, Messenger, Facebook, Facebook lite, Messenger lite.. Then you can install official ones from play store..

This is becuse official facebook app can't be used with moded messenger, signs doesn't match.
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
That's related to the patcher, not the chat head module. Anyway new android patcher app is ready, it will have direct download feature.

Question, for the users of Messenger does your theme update? My group chat/messages with themes (example: Cyberpunk) doesn't show at all.
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
What is it about? could you explain?

Are you talking about messenger chat themes? It shouldn't be affected by patch. Feature bugs are most likely from messenger itself.
[Android Apps and Games] ph.l1ght:
Yeah, thats what I thought. So am asking if someone is facing the same problem. Thanks as always Neon.

UPDATE: Upon updating to v387.x the Chat Themes works now.

Why isn't it verifying the files after downloading? I have a Google pixel 7 phone, is there something else I need to do?

Still crashes, all I have is the Messenger App I'm trying to patch, currently, that is the only app I have installed from Facebook is (Messenger)

Facebook

- Uninstalled

Messenger

- Installed

Did I do the patching correctly?

-using CMD

---------

java -jar MrvPatcher-4.3.3.jar Messenger.apk

Source: Messenger.apk

Progress:

-> decompressing

-> parsing manifest

-> patching apk

-> repacking apk

-> aligning apk

-> signing apk

-> cleaning up

Output: Messenger-mrv.apk

---------

the apk size is slightly larger, definitely is patched, however still instantly crashes, even did a reboot.

Messenger (332.0.0.11.117)

is just stubborn... lol
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Could you send me the messenger apk that you are trying to patch? I'll take a look..
[Android Apps and Games] loinmin:
My Device:

OnePlus Nord N10 5G (Model BE2028) Android 11.0.1.BE88CB

Messenger was installed from Play Store and extracted with ADB commands.

(this is the first time it's being stubborn doing this method)

-attached is the stubborn Messenger APK

Very few peoples are interested, which makes me feel lazy. Still I'll try.

Hi? Can you please modify the new version of Messenger if you have time to? I don't have any access to PC that's why I can't manually patch Latest version of Messenger on my own, I also found bugs if you wanna know. thanks

[Android Apps and Games] loinmin:
Apologies, I have found 2 bugs.

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
I checked, I'm able to send photos normally. Make sure you have granted storage permission fully (Always Allow). If it doesn't solve your problem, check the Facebook app that I uploaded here.

I'm receiving notifications properly. Your phone maybe blocking background process, turn off battery optimization for Messenger.
[Android Apps and Games] dragganta:
Thanks its working, i hope u will make that patch app also soon. I have only 1 concern, when i try to share something via messenger (like a tiktok clip for example) it redirects me to google play messenger site. The phone is Mi 11 official miui

Edit: it seems its only affecting tiktok, i tried chrome, google photos and some other apps and sharing via messenger works properly
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Like I said, not enough people are interested. So I'm not sure yet. Thanks anyway.

That's weird. I don't use tiktok, so I can't test it right now. If you know how to send logcat, I will take a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] dragganta:
I dont know how to send logcat, i will send u picture by picture example ( Xiaomi Mi 11 MIUI 12.5 EEA):

Picture 1 - tapping on messenger icon via share

Picture 2 - redirecti g me to play store and messenger

Picture 3 - tapping on other

Picture 4 - tapping on chat (this works!)
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Yup looks like tiktok is trying to find messenger app internally, still it shouldn't happen. I don't have tiktok right now, will check later.
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Nope, not related to the patch. Just tried with original messenger, same issue.

Primary server isn't working bcz of a bug. Secondary server should work, I don't know why it's not working for you.

I'm gonna release a new version soon. Please check again in few days.

Thank you! Already had look everywhere and couldn't find it!
[Android Apps and Games] ph.l1ght:
Gotta report something, @NeonOrbit idk if its Facebook or the Chat Head itself.

But often times if you happen to say play some games (i.e Mobile Legends) once the Chat Head appears and at the same time you press on the screen, you won't be able to use the touch screen anymore.

Only Navigation (Gesture; Home, Recent Apps), Notification Bar (Scroll Down) works. After that nothing, so basically the device become just for viewing purposes. One solution is restarting the device.

After restarting the device it works. Btw, thanks as always! And Happy New Year everyone. 🥳🥳🥳
