[info] Hangout not showing new SMS

Hi,
Recently I got some issues with Hangout not waking up or making sound when receiving new SMS.
After some research it seems to be related to playstore issue.
The story:
Got a brand new stock Nexus 5, rooted it, installed bunch of app and then no more notification for SMS in hangout.
Did a wipe, did not install anything, Hangout was working fine.
Installed patched playstore, Hangout and some Google Now functions stopped working (like automatic location update, notifications, etc...)
The fix:
If you installed a modded playstore, revert back to stock or wipe to fix it.
This is particularly true with LuckyPatcher cracked playstore that broke links between Playstore and other google apps.
If you dont want to wipe or keep your modded playstore, use GoSMS pro for notifications.
Note:
There is an issue with official Playstore that drain battery because of kernel partial wakelock for nlplocator. Using modded playstore broke the automatic nlplocator and this way fixes the batery drain, but you lose functionnality especially about location informations (google now will only update your location on user interaction).
Hope it can help talented person that wants to investigate this issue.
Regards,

[Q] BlinkFeed: Twitter Authorization Problem

I am having an odd issue where I cannot get Twitter to authorize when setting up BlinkFeed. I've had Twitter working with BlinkFeed previously on this device; however, now when I go to checkmark Twitter in the services section of BlinkFeed, it brings up the prompt to authorize Twitter, I hit authorize, and then it goes back to the feed. When I go back into services, Twitter is unchecked even though I just went and authorized it. Repeating the process does the same thing.
I've tried a factory reset, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Twitter app and BlinkFeed itself. I've tried erasing data. I've even went on the Twitter desktop site and revoked access for all apps then repeated the process. I have no idea what to do. Somebody please help! I want my tweets on BlinkFeed!

I am having the same issue stock rooted deodexed Rom. Anyone found a fix?

Twitter's June 30 5.16.0 update broke the BlinkFeed authorization process. Uninstall the current Google Play Store version and reinstall the 5.15 apk (this link is clean). After 5.15 is installed, you can authorize your account with HTC BlinkFeed and then update (again) from the Google Play Store to 5.16.0. HTC BlinkFeed will stay authorized after updating.

I was having the same problem, update just came out for Twitter that solves this issue without reverting.

Solution for HTC U12+
First log out on twitter app installed on android

after this, you can connect home sense with Twitter account

[How to] Use facebook messages without messenger

A quick guide for those who want to use Facebook messages without downloading facebook messenger.
Step 1
Uninstall Facebook messenger (if you have it installed)
Step 2
Make sure you have Unknown sources enabled from device settings
Step 3
Install the attached apk (hello world application) or create a new (empty) android project with the package name com.facebook.orca
As long as the only validation that the facebook app does is checking to find if an app with package name com.facebook.orca is installed on the phone this should work
Tested and working on N4 running omnirom 4.4.4

If that work, I thank you xd
Tapnięte z mojego S Advance ☺

It worked thanks
Sent from my A110Q using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

worked. Thank you, I got annoyed when the fb app says move to messenger,

Thank you for this guide...
I made my own small app

thank you. finally i found useful solution

+1.
Very nice.

Thank you so much! It worked perfectly.
I went one step further: I froze your app once installed, and Facebook still thinks Messenger is installed. It has survived a reboot.

My tutorial:
(0. Uninstall Facebook Messenger...)
1. Go to Play Store and disable Auto-Update for Facebook.
2. Go to Apps - Facebook and Clear Data. Then Force Close the application.
3. Start Facebook, login and go to messages, click "Remind Later"
Tadaa - you can now use the chat in the native Facebook application without installing any apks.

God i hate this "force to install" policy.. Thanks for the tut

thank you

Great!

Just what I was looking for! Such BS facebook makes you download an additional app to use messenger than I hardly ever use anyway. I refuse to use it, thanks op! Hopefully fb does not update the validation process.

THIS WORKS! good job ?

So glad that I find people who use the same method as me. However, I think Facebook stops the push notification service on purpose. I keep uninstalling and installing the facebook original app and hello world apk, and I would get push notifications for the first few hours or more. But then after this duration of time, I will not receive push notifications anymore out of no reason. Do you guys encounter the same problem as mine? Thank you.

I'm not sure if this is available in the app from the play store (most probably it will be roll out in the next update if it wasn't already updated) because i don't have whatsapp installed on my phone but i think if you download the apk from the official whatapps website you can disable it from the settings menu
Settings > Account > Privacy
Uncheck Read receipts

Worked great, thanks for this.
I too am lacking in push notifications about messages.
This would be absolutely perfect if I got notified about messages!

I will look into it. I don't have any issue with notifications. Make sure you have notifications and message notifications active from the facebook app under app settings

Try to open settings on twitter's notification
1. Mark all about notification
2.turn off twitter's notification
3. Back
4. turn on twitter's notification
5. Back to Home and close twitter
6. Open twitter and look at twitter's notification settings, if it still on you're success..
Sorry for bad english.

[APP][MOD] Messenger Old Chat Heads for Android 11+

With Android 11 came the bubble functionality, which displaced the chat head mechanism in Messenger. Unfortunately bubbles are very buggy - for example on OnePlus phones they are responsible for freezing the whole phone.
That's why I've created a MOD for Messenger which brings back the old chat heads.
Install guide
Uninstall all Facebook apps (Facebook, Messenger, Facebook Lite, Messenger Lite, Facebook Business Suite etc).
Install the apps from this post (the ones you are using)
Enjoy!
(If you use Facebook apps that are not attached to this post, let me know, I'll resign apks and add them)
--------------------------------------------
DEPRACATED 08.08.2022​Messenger brought back old chat heads to their official application, this mod is no needed anymore
You can uninstall modded apks and install official ones from Google Play.
If you encounter any problems with official apps (e.g. crashing when trying to open an app). You probably needs to clear dalvik cache.
UPDATE 06.01.2022
DOWNLOAD: AndroidFileHost
New versions:
- Messenger 342.1.0.14.119
- Facebook 349.0.0.0.122 alpha
Phone calls in Messenger should be fixed in this version
UPDATE 20.10.2021
New versions:
- Messenger 335.0.0.17.75
- Facebook 341.0.0.2.73
Download here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...s-for-android-11.4300779/page-5#post-85806197
Please give me feedback, if everything is all right I will replace files in this post.
UPDATE 7.09.2021
New versions:
- Messenger 329.0.0.10.118
- Facebook 336.0.0.0.85 alpha (I had troubles with decompiling standard/beta versions)
UPDATE 27.07.2021
New versions - facebook_330.0.0.0.102.apk and messenger_324.0.0.0.62.apk.
Fixed:
- connection Facebook <=> Messenger (sharing videos, opening Messenger from Facebook)
- (highly possible) Facebook not refreshing wall
Let me know if Facebook Lite or Business Manager is needed to be updated as well

So the version of FB in my phone is showing as a system app. I can't uninstall. Attaching pics. Can u tell me how to uninstall plz? It shows"installed" but I can't uninstall, if I go thru the play Store, it gives the "uninstall updates to this system app" only option. I have it disabled because I don't trust it *note NO PERMISSIONS REQUIRED. Yeah well that's too fishy. Plus I'm locked out of FB right now cause i have 2 factor on & when I get the code & enter it I get an error msg invalid code. I left FB services enabled so I can continue using IG. I really miss using Messenger, if u have any suggestions I'd much appreciate.

I cannot share videos to messenger from the facebook app

Is the link good? I can't download anything. It just open and nothing happens.

Man! Thanks for the mod! You're a lifesaver!!
Do we have to use the Facebook that you provide or can we use the official one?

couldn't install messenger app, getting "app not installed"

Use the official one if you can! Resigned version is helpful if you cannot install Messenger due to signing conflict.

uninstalled all facebook apps with ADB, but still getting the error 'app not installed'. Galaxy s20+, android 11.

Thank you so much for this! Gone are the days of suffering through awful chat bubbles.
I have a weird bug on Facebook though. Posts aren't updating so I see the same posts even after force stopping the app and clearing the cache. This only happens to posts under "Home", not "Recent". Is there a fix for this?

you need to select the copy and paste link in the conversation. this option does not work because the system does not detect this application as official Messenger

Facebook has some signature checks, I will try to bypass this, but It is very challenging.
