messenger stopped working - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

hi guys
im using S7 - rooted device. My facebook messenger app was working fine all the while, suddenly it stopped working (i didnt install any new apps).
Error - https://www.dropbox.com/s/3c3r0afyqchr5gt/2016-08-17_10-38-03.png?dl=0
I tried several options :
1) cleared messenger cache / data
2) cleared default message app cache / data
3) installed an older version of this apk from apkmirror
still the same. I will not be able to factory reset my phone. Any other known work around?
Thanks

[Q] Hangouts & YouTube Apps - Force Closing after updating

Something strange happened this morning with Hangouts, it updated to the new version that been pushing out over the last 24 hours.
When i went to load up the app i get a FC, and the same is happening with Youtube (not aware of that app updating though).
I have so far tried
1. Removing and re-installing both apps
2. Clearing the cache on the apps
3. Cleared the cache in recovery and also dalvik cache
4. Re-flashed the custom ROM (Mahdi Rom)
5. Re-flashed the gapps (PA micro version) i had installed
6. Re-installing an older version of both hangouts and youtube apk files
None of the above has fixed the problem. I guess wiping system and re-installing rom would fix the problem, but this is a last resort.
Before this hangouts app update everything was working fine.
Any other possibilities I can try?

[HELP] [root] s8+ exynos - google play services stopped working after data wipe.

Hi all, so bit of a background.
Got international g955f (s8+), I have it rooted with twrp + magisk. Everything was fine till last night phone stopped to remember wifi passwords. Tried DHCP folder removal and config file changing - that didnt work so did titanium backup of it all and wiped data this morning.
Phone started but as soon as I try to go through initial configs I get google services stopped working/keep crashing.
Pulled sim card out so I could get through to the main screen, tried to open play store and nope, won't let me - google play services has stopped.
Restored data through Titanium backup didnt help. Wiping data/cache of google apps didnt help. Downloading play store and google framework apk didn't help.
I've got full rom waiting to be flashed but I'm at work at the moment so can't do that yet. Is there anything else I can try and do to avoid re-flash?
I have removed system apps like chrome and gmail, nothing else.
Good thing - wifi is remembered now!
Any help/clue would much appreciate.
Thank you!

You don't need root to update system apps, just toggle secure startup, reboot and install them
ok it seems real bug....i do master factory reset without restoring any data and problem still exist. so this is the real bug of this version.
what can i do now? im not root

how??
The issue is present only on BTU/XEU CSC (G930FXXU1DQJ3) ( Did not try others)
Tried PHN (G930FXXU1DQJ1) and ROM (G930FXXU1DQJ3). They are fine.
There is different Samsung Messages version 4.1.31 ( BTU/ROM ) vs Samsung Messages version 4.1.28 ( PHN ). So it should be related to something within CSC not within app version.
I fixed it by installing Samsung Messages 4.2.03.12 Latest version targeting Android 7.0. Newer versions will most likely create more problems.
You can also use Android Messages

Hello,
I'm having trouble installing APK's from APKMIRROR. In various applications of Samsung e.g. Gallery, Browser, TochWiz, Bixby, Calendar, Clock .... I always get the error message "Application not installed. Package is in conflict with another package with the same name".
I do not have root.
What is noticeable is that after an update from Android (also the monthly security patches) or at a factory reset I am able to install all system apps without problems (also the ones mentioned above) or to run an update. But if I restart the phone, it will not be possible to update system apps anymore. It is always the o.g. Error message displayed.
Can someone tell me why this is so or what I can do, so that the update always works?
Resetting the app (uninstall the updates / empty cache, etc.) brings nothing here.
Where is the problem?
Thanks for your help.
Toggle secure startup to on and then reboot your phone. Install the application.
Settings - Lock screen and security - secure startup. Check require password...
If it is already checked, uncheck it and reboot.
Sometimes you also need an wipe cache from recovery. After you install your app you can toggle secure startup to original state and reboot ?

Thanks for suggestion and link for samsung messages, it worked! The messages problem happened to me as well, on S7 edge dual sim G935FD, and italian update G935XXU1DRA2. Trying to understand what was happening I realised that the application did not crash with sms coming from a program (like those for adverts) but it crashed only for sms coming from a phone number either in the contacts or not.
thanks Marina

App install problem

< mod edit: thread closed, it's a duplicate of this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/help/app-install-problem-t3847973 >
I recently started using a G3 again and I have flashed different roms and had the same problem (currently on the latest pie Pixel Experience) . The problem I have is that some apps won't install (Snapchat, FB, IG) I've tried clearing caches, data, removing and readding my Google account with no luck. I've tried installing the apks but they either don't install or they do install but won't work either see the app as a package name or they disappear and then I'm unable to install or update the apps as it says another user has installed an incompatible version.
Is there anyway to fix this as I'm missing out on some apps I use frequently.
Thanks for your help.
