[Q] Facebook links open in Facebook for Android? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I hope this is the right place for this. I've done some searching and have found nothing.
Is there a way to have Facebook links (like from an email) open in Facebook for Android instead of the browser? I've seen the same type of thing discussed about YouTube.

No, that's up to the developers of the facebook application.

I know the thread is old but i have the same problem right now, facebook links promote to open only with browser and not the facebook app.
Is the problem in me ?

[Q] facebook chat

Has anyone managed to get facebook chat working when you access facebook through the browser? (I'm using chrome atm but not against using another browser for facebook)
What I mean by this is, I would like my facebook to look like it does when I'm on my desktop, with the chat bar in the bottom right hand corner of my browser.

[Q] Facebook links don't open Facebook app

I'm having a small issue with Facebook on Android. However, I think it's an issue with Android itself, not the app. When I get an email from Facebook, and I click the link, my browser opens and takes to the Facebook page and asks me to log in. Why doesn't it open the link using my Facebook app? It doesn't even ask me which app to use, browser or Facebook (eg. if I have two different gallery apps, and I want to view a picture, it asks me which gallery app to use, and lets me set one as default at the same time). Is there any way to make Facebook links open the Facebook app, instead of launching the browser (or to have it ask me like it does with other apps)? The whole point of the Facebook app is so I don't need to use the browser to view Facebook.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

[Q] Facebook Share app without Facebook

Anyone know of an app that will allow posting to facebook from the share menu without actually having to install an actual full-blown facebook client? A quick and dirty market search didn't turn anything up.

[Q] What are ways to use Facebook messaging without the messenger app?

I've seen tutorials explaining how to use mobile facebook from a web browser.
I have also seen a hack where a correctly-named dummy app makes facebook think fb messenger is already installed. I'm not sure if this works with later versions of facebook.
What I've done so far is install an old version of facebook from July 2014, then used titaniumbackup to break the market link. So that it does not come up in my update or update all lists in play store.
The problem with what I'm doing now is that the facebook app periodically restores the market link so that I am not able to forget about my facebook workaround and update my other apps normally.
I wonder if there is a better hack for a rooted android galaxy s2 that keeps facebook messages in the app but does not require any further attention.
There were also third party apps that could show the facebook newsfeed and send messages but I no longer see them in the play store. Is there an app that I could sideload that is recommended to replace the facebook app?
Any help is greatly appreciated on this.
I think the easiest is just using an old version. Facebook 1.9.12 never asks for the update. Message away to your heart's content. It's posted on another xda thread
