How to Install Facebook Messenger - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I deleted my fb messenger app from my rooted Xperia Pro from system/data and also removed all other traces of facebook from my complete system.
I have the messenger apk with me from backup.
Now i want to again install it so that it runs in the background and shows me always Online on Facebook.
Is there any way i can again achieve that.
Pls note that i only want fb messenger to run in background. Original facebook app i do not want to run in background as i have removed it too.
Pls help.

Facebook messages notification

Just bought the SG3, i get facebook notifications from groups and such, but when someone is chatting or sending me a message on facebook i dont get any notifications at all
Any idea? Tried uninstalling/installing , and rebooting phone
Did you install both Facebook app and Messenger app ? Notifications for direct messages work best if you install BOTH apps and only use Messenger for direct messaging. Hope this helps.
Thanks. Yes i installed both first. But i was told by another user with GS3 that he didnt have the messenger app installed and still got notifications about messages.
Installed messenger again and got my notifications.
Asked him later, looks like he had the messenger installed aswell
Did you check your Facebook settings inside of the FB app itself?? There is a whole section for Notifications and also a section for Chat.
I installed the Facebook Messenger app, and immediately started getting message notifications.

[Q] automatically installing apps after flashing

Everytime I install new ROM and sing in my gmail account, play store installs 4 apps that 3 of them i have never used.
Those apps are Facebook, BeejiveIM facebook chat, whatsapp and best wallpapers & backgrounds.
How I can stop it?
Sign into Google Play on a PC, go to My Android Apps & delete them ?

After flash u can choose that u want to backup ur phone via google and restore it, too.
Just uncheck restore and it won't restore "ur apps".

[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

Uninstall facebook totally

Anyone know how to totally uninstall facebook and install 3rd party Facebook??
You need to be rooted to uninstall it completely as there are few services of Facebook installed as system app asides from Facebook app itself.

Yes i am rooted but which file i need to delete some more??
Use titanium backup too filter. Type facebook. It will show you all apps related to Facebook. Uninstall them and use "tinfoil for Facebook" it's way more better then Facebook app and it gives you more control over privacy options.
