I just want to ask if there's an update for the MRVPatch Manager error download and patch.
[Android Apps and Games] ph.l1ght:
What error? Did you follow the tutorial on page 1?
[Android Apps and Games] jeires56:
Are you not getting errors when you update via MRVPatch manager?
[Android Apps and Games] jeires56:
This error

You're probably using the patched app, not the App Patcher(MRVPatch Manager). Please read the previous post before this. I kinda feel you thought of me as an idiot for not reading the first page. This is just what I am feeling if not, don't mind it.
[Android Apps and Games] ph.l1ght:
Nope. Works just fine.
[Android Apps and Games] jeires56:
Well, mine doesn't work like the person I quoted.
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Looks like chat head bug (Messenger side). I will let you if I find a solution.

I fixed it already, just need few days to release it (kinda busy).
[Android Apps and Games] jeires56:
Thank you very much!
[Android Apps and Games] Anistruk:
I have this bug, but when i try to run the command i have this error:

Any ideia why?

Thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Enable "USB debugging (Security settings)" options too.
[Android Apps and Games] Anistruk:
Once again, you sir are correct!
[Android Apps and Games] Antyhaker:
Omg. Thanks a lot. Finally new Bubbles on my samsung phone.
[Android Apps and Games] Radzią:
anyone have an idea why this error Exists ?

an unidentified problem has occurred
[Android Apps and Games] azeunkn0wn:
this happens when you tap the chat head while it is displaying the new message.

I hope this will get fixed soon
[Android Apps and Games] Radzią:
I thought it was just me error. very annoying
[Android Apps and Games] pr0metheus92:
Hello. I reinstalled Windows and now I can't patch the files myself.. It says "error: access impossible". I used to have no problem with version 5.3.0 of MRVPatcher, I think it is from the version because I tried on another computer and the result was the same.. Separately it says that the latest version is 5.5.2, and on the command it is for 5.5.1?? I also wrote 5.5.2, it still gives the same error
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
You must be typing something wrong. Copy/paste it.

java -jar MRVPatcher-5.5.2.jar Messenger.apk

Show me screenshot if it doesn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
@pr0metheus92 Are you sure MRVPatcher-5.5.2.jar file is in the same folder with the exact same name? If so, try all steps again with a new folder in a different place (or maybe in a different drive).

Alternatively you can use MRVPatchManager app.
[Android Apps and Games] pr0metheus92:
Thanks again, it worked.
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:

When you say add update checker you mean we can open update checks for fb and mess in the market? Cause we have it closed so long
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
No.. When you click "Patch" button, it'll automatically check whether there's a new version available. If there's, it'll download the update, otherwise will show that you are already on latest version. Facebook usually takes 1-2 weeks to release a new version.
[Android Apps and Games] mmdh_siam:
After installed latest version of both app then to check the play store my app is updated or not. Play store shows update option also whice mean this app not running latest version but my app is already installed latest version.

It’s happened before when creat these app with termux command. But now using MRV manager also facing this issue.

What is the solution for this?
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
It shouldn't show in the playstore at all. Anyway just ignore playstore update.
[Android Apps and Games] mmdh_siam:
Okay 🥹

[Android Apps and Games] Shakkil912:
Can you include Instagram (by Dise) app to the mvrpatcher.? Due to different signatures can not open insta links.
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Download Instagram apk from apkmirror.com and use Manual option to patch it.
[Android Apps and Games] Shakkil912:
Tried it and failed
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Are you trying to open insta links from facebook app, or fb link from insta app?
[Android Apps and Games] Jacqueb_1337:
Jacqueb here, the original creator of the chat heads mod. I just want to say that you are an absolute legend for continuing this project from where I left off. I'm glad to see that it's come a long way from what it was, and you're doing a fantastic job! I wish I had more time to work on it myself or even help you roll out new updates on your method, but life got in the way. Once I get some more money I want to donate a little to you. Do you have cashapp or anything similar?
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Forgive me, I wish I knew which mod you are talking about. I saw a few SDK spoofing projects here and there (I'm not sure which one is yours). Unfortunately those mods have bug, that's why I started this project from scratch to enable chathead natively (as well as bubble) by hooking Messenger internal API.

Thanks for your appreciation, I'm glad to know you worked on a similar project.
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm guessing it's fb bug.
[Android Apps and Games] Jacqueb_1337:
Sorry, mine was an SDK spoofer. I simply gave messenger a wrapper with Xposed hooking (App Cloner does this wonderfully) and just changed it to match Android 10. It wasn't a complicated fix, but it was the best one I could come up with after months of experimenting with other methods to no avail. I tried decompiling with no luck, then tried directly editing dex and had some success, but it just brought up more bugs to deal with. I had released my first patched APK a few months after the Bubbles API was introduced.

Anyway, thank you for being awesome bro. Keep up the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] agentdisguise:
Hi! I'm having trouble updating to the latest version of messenger (394.0.0.15.72) from 393.0.0.18.92. It gives me Patch Failed: -118. Redownloading MRVPatch Manager hasn't worked and deleting messenger hasn't worked either.

Edit: Managed to update to the latest by changing which file server I downloaded from
[Android Apps and Games] ngocxuyen:
I can't select bubble in new version , chat head is ok but bubble can't be displayed :( android 13 with zfold 4
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Explain your problem clearly, how exactly can't select bubble? what went wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] wonsky21:
I can't patch messenger apk. It says "patching: parsing manifest", and then Patch Failed -118. Using it on Xiaomi 12x, MIUI 14/Android 13.
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Go to Settings tab of Mrvpatch Manager > Clear download cache > Select ApkCombo from "Apk download server". Patch again.
[Android Apps and Games] wonsky21:
Oh, thanks, it is working now. I guess it's some apkmirror issue?
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Yeah sometimes they upload incompatible file, but it's the best server.
[Android Apps and Games] bornok101:
Can't install messenger app
[Android Apps and Games] bornok101:
It works. thanks
[Android Apps and Games] dzikk:
this is what I have looked for since I have mi12t pro :D Hope that app and my account will be safe :P
[Android Apps and Games] J3ZIOR:
I have a problem, when i scroll messeges in chat head it scrools itself to bottom. Can someone help me with this issue?
[Android Apps and Games] nico3469:
Sir you are a life saver. Chat Heads works again on my non rooted OnePlus 9 (OxygenOS 13), video calls works too.

Thanks a lot, your work is amazing, I'm now wondering what OnePlus engineers are doing for the past 2 years... :D
[Android Apps and Games] greek freak:
I have miui 13 with android 12 .With new android version now you can add a person as a widget to the home screen and when you tap on it, it will take you to chat. I just want to ask if i install this version of messenger will be able to do that? Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] hope963:
I have a problem on Op 7 Pro with the camera and the messenger app. Often when I go in and want to take a picture, it's a black screen. Mostly only closing the application and restarting helps. Anyone have that too? Would it be possible to improve this? Thank you and best regards.
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Sure.

Messenger bug. Out of my scope.
[Android Apps and Games] hope963:
Will there be any more updates?
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Do you mean fb & messenger apps? sure there will be. I just update them less often now, as anyone can patch new update for them with MRVPatch Manager app.
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
I'm not sure, you should check different versions of messenger.

Try this android app, you can patch any version you want easily.

Anyway, I'll try to upload new versions soon.
[Android Apps and Games] hope963:
Thanks for the information and I look forward to the updates :) Best regards

Update #16

Module:

Apps:
[Android Apps and Games] Emonmahmud66:
Links opening externally in messenger
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
(PC Required):

-> Go to "Developer options". (find from your phone Settings)

-> Enable "USB debugging" option

-> Run these two adb commands from PC:

adb shell pm set-app-links --package com.facebook.katana 1 all

adb shell pm set-app-links --package com.facebook.orca 1 all

Some links still might open externally (messenger bug).
[Android Apps and Games] Emonmahmud66:
Worked. Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] SuzuneHina:
Is this safe?.
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Read "Safety Note" section from the main post.
[Android Apps and Games] konstam:
Hello. Where are the patched apks being stored? Where can we locate them?
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Inside the app's private data directory. You can't access it directly. However, you can install/delete patched apps from the "Patched" tab.
[Android Apps and Games] konstam:
Oh okay thank you the quick answer and thanks for the app.

I believe it would be a nice feature to be able to extract the APK so that it can be shared with family for example.
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Installing directly from the manager is more secure, that's why I didn't add share option. Anyway I'll include share feature in the next version.

For now you can share patched apps by installing them. I believe there's a Share option available when you long tap on any installed apps (not sure if your ROM has this feature).
[Android Apps and Games] konstam:
Actually my phone has this option and I just found out. Thank you for all your answers! You have done an amazing job.

Is it just me or this has been a bug in the app? I cannot click this nor use Account center on Facebook app using MRV patch downloader, but when I use the FB app in playstore it works. Please someone give a reply here. Ty.
[Android Apps and Games] lemonade747:
I cannot enable chat head because I found no messenger app in the "Permit drawing over other apps" list. Other apps still there except this patched messenger app. Any helps? Thanks!

P/S: I'm using Android 13, vivo x90Pro Plus

Ok after a day, I figured it out how to fix it.

Hey! I'm a new user of Poco F4 and just tried it. It works like a charm! The only problem i have is that i can't swipe back when a conversation is open (i use gestures). Has anyone else experienced this and is there a fix?
[Android Apps and Games] intel_core_i7:
Just swipe up, the chat head should close
[Android Apps and Games] AlexDragneel:
Thank you so much! Everything is working properly and fine. I just have one minor detail, while the chat heads are open, Facebook links won't open in the Facebook app, they just open in the app if I click them on the messenger app directly, but while in chat head, they will never open. I even did the abd pc command but it still won't work, any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] azeunkn0wn:
I have the same issue. it is still unresolved.

I have Poco F3 Android13 MIUI14.0.4 (Global)
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
These are exhausting issues to track down, I'll look into them if I have time.
[Android Apps and Games] azeunkn0wn:
thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] AlexDragneel:
I also noticed that this problem that we have only happens with the chat heads, if the link is opened on the app itself or with the bubbles, it opens perfectly, lol
[Android Apps and Games] bahaa87:
Thank you, but Facebook links never open externally or within the Facebook program

I tried this

shell pm set-app-links --package com.facebook.katana 1 all

But no change.

I want to uninstall all metas but, when i install.fb, messenger on playstore it can't download? But i try again on patch it worked :/
[Android Apps and Games] ChosenTechForum:
I tried to install the patched version but it keeps telling me that it cannot install because a conflicting package is installed. I uninstalled

"com.facebook.appmanager"

".katana

".services

".system

And the meta installer

I tried installing the unpatched version i downloaded straight from apkmirror and that works. But whe i patch it, it says "conflicting existing package"

I used adb to remove the Facebook apps. From work profile, even the dual messenger, and secure folder, left no traces.

Device: Samsung Galaxy A515F

OS: Android 13 with OneUI 5.1 February Security Patch
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Try restarting after remove all.

If still doesn't work, show the full error msg from adb.
[Android Apps and Games] bahaa87:
Is there any soliution for facebook links?
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
What kind of problem. could u show me a screenshot
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
I've added a fix for all the link related issues (release coming soon). However, Messenger itself has some link issues (some links won't open, even in the original app, like the one you showed in the video).
[Android Apps and Games] MKhenh:
for armv7 please :(
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Download a v7 apk from apkmirror and patch it.
[Android Apps and Games] MKhenh:
conflict with existing package but i uninstalled messenger via adb

I use OneUI 4.1 Android12
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
You have to uninstall all Facebook apps, not just the messenger.

But if your device is Samsung, I don't think you will be able to uninstall all of them.

I have a solution in mind for such devices, but may I ask why do you need armv7? Android 12 should support arm64
[Android Apps and Games] MKhenh:
Im using an OneUI Core phone wit Snapdragon 450 so I need an armv7 APK
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Try this.

Messenger-v417.0.0.12.64-arm7a.apk

(For this you don't have to uninstall anything other than messenger, but it won't communicate with fb app, such as opening link in fb app, or login share etc)
[Android Apps and Games] bahaa87:
Waiting you.

Thank you very much
[Android Apps and Games] MKhenh:
tysm, it worked
[Android Apps and Games] bahaa87:
Waiting for update

Waiting for new release. Plz

Which version exactly? show a video or screenshot of the problems.
[Android Apps and Games] dzikk:
Video sound fixed itself (I did not touch it since today morning...) but facebook still does not work.

[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Test this thorougly please.

Sorry if the question has already been ask but I can't make it work anymore on my base S23 A13 with OneUI 5.1 July patch...

The first time it went like a charm but after an issue I had to redo the whole install process and now messenger constantly open bubbles instead of chat heads, I even tried the modified APK where you don't need to uninstall anything but it still doesn't work...

Does anyone has a solution?

Edit: nevermind found the solution
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
What was the issue and how did you solve it exactly? I'm about to release a new version, so I want to fix it if there's an issue in the patch.
[Android Apps and Games] Poux3:
It was me being dumb because somehow in my mind chat head were bubbles and vice versa so I kept trying to enable one while I actually wanted the other one...

Sorry sorry
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Update: MRVPatch Manager

Note: I've fixed the Facebook and Instagram link issues. For better Instagram integration, consider patching it as well. (Messenger itself might have occasional link issues, which are not related this patch.)

Download: MRVPatchManager-v2.2.1.apk

PC Version: MRVPatcher-5.2.3.jar
[Android Apps and Games] echomaster:
Been looking for a way around this issue and this worked well with my Oneplus Ace 2 pro running ColorOS 13.1. However, Messenger has an update from Playstore. Will the update overwrite/ remove the chat head functionality again?
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
No. You can not update from Playstore, use MRVPatch Manager instead.
[Android Apps and Games] echomaster:
I see. So far I don't have any issues with the patched APK attached here. If ever I did, I will use the patcher.
[Android Apps and Games] tendoextreme:
when will the new notes feature be added on the patched version? (never mind i just patched the latest version and its there very good apk btw)

[Android Apps and Games] yujin0391:
hi! i already installed your messenger apk zo i could use chathead again and its working! thanks a lot but i tried installing ng facebook app from the playstore but i can't, it says installation failed. is this because of the apks i have installed? is this normal?

ps. i just installed your facebook apk so its fine, i was just wondering if the playstore thing is normal. there's no problem installing other apps from playstore except facebook related apps.
[Android Apps and Games] quickstream:
I have a pixel 7 pro I recently installed the Oct messenger update and I'm having some issues namely it crashes, opens up multiple chat bubble instance's for new notifications, forgets my preferences ie dark mode and that I want messenger to handle my text messages too.

Not sure how to share any kind of logs but hope sharing the information goes to help further development of this alteration.

I had none of these issues in the previous release
[Android Apps and Games] NeonOrbit:
Try latest version.

@NeonOrbit can you upload patched Messenger version 439.0.0.29.119 please. I tried patching it myself with MRVPatchManager but it crashes when opening the app
[Android Apps and Games] Poux3:
Few issues I've encountered, sorry if they already have been posted:

- when you are inside a bubbled conversation, if a new bubble appears it will automatically switch to the new one even if you were typing

- the bubbles don't disappear when you open messenger

- when stacked, the bubble where you just received a new notification doesn't always appear at the front

- sometimes there's a sort of delay when you close a bubble, it leaves a grey panel where the conversation screen was before closing

- sometimes the bubbles are causing frame drop when unlocking the phone

Don't know if those issues can be corrected but I just wanted to let you know that they exist if that matters :)

Base S23 btw
[Android Apps and Games] wonsky21:
Guys, did you try to install stock messenger from playstore? Every time, on every of my devices I have bubbles out of the box, just need to enable it in settings.
