As we all know, Facebook for Android sucks. 1.9.12 was the last that worked for me allowing sharing, statuses, etc before the latest version broke all that.
The following link contains downloads of old versions.
Delete current Facebook for Android (if latest)
DL apk and install like normal
DO NOT UPDATE through play store when it says you have an update. You'll be back at the new crap version.

@ OP- thanks!
It would be worth mentioning, that many other older apps work in devices not supported by googlePlay service.
For those wanting the last version before the current UI layout, the v7.0.0.22.28 are the one and its the best. Its when FB added capability to post pix in comments and other features, luckily, before the UI change. http://techloverhd.com/2014/03/facebook-7-0-0-22-28-app-download-for-android-apk/

Thanks bro, this fixed a lot of issues on my Galaxy nexus
well it seems that version 7 works for those who are missing messenger inside the facebook app it works well, good for old device
I've just been resetting/clearing faceaches data and cache to bypass the messenger download necessity, yes you still get the soon moving to messenger warning prompt but still not using messenger and on latest release again lol.
Regards as always
I wonder why are they pushing the messenger app now.
They been doing it for months ;(
Regards as always
Just use google translate this site. It does have facebook 3.7 version which didn't request the messenger and the file size 30% smaller than current version.

Hope this help.
well i guess facebook closed the loophole fb 7 stopped working without messenger.... i would try 3.7 to see if it works

The new market is much much better looking than the old one.
Here is the link to the .apk file of the market. Just download and install it as any other app.
http://www.multiupload.com/PNTKMUYQUM
If you're having problems after installing it (I did not have any problem) or you don't like it. Goto Settings>>Applications>>from the upper tab choose All App>>go to market app and click on Uninstall updates. This should get you back to the old Market.
Thanks for the link. It takes a sec to get used to, but looks pretty slick.

question : 1. this release of android market stops the update process if installed on stock 2.3.3GB?
2. Android market will auto-update to this new version or it is available only for some countries? I live in Romania for example.
thank you

This update will be rolled out to all countries and has been released in very few countries (I think only some carriers in US and Canada).
Regarding your first question, I don't think so, but you can never be sure until the next update is released.

I think it cannot break the updates bcoz the market updater is a separate app, not within the vending apk.

Im using Mik_os's CM7, I know I need to flash the gapps to set up an account so I assume Im answering my own question, but with just installing this new market apk, it asked me to set up an account but didnt take me to set up an account just went to the homescreen, do I need to install gapps for cm7 than use this new apk as an updater ?
Works fine, but I see (?) Japanese text in app info tab for some apps (eg. Facebook app). But, my system language settings is english. Will be difficult to know about the app.

I'm using the new music with no problems. I had to uninstall the old one and reboot after install. Google plus works but I don't have a widget like I had with the last version

My only gripe with Google+ is I still haven't discovered any way to change your profile picture without logging into the website.
Profile > touch your photo
Did they fix the overplay issue where streaming music would sometimes repeat instead of moving onto the next track?

I thought I goofed something up.
music 4.0
i uninstalled the current music (i uninstalled the orig photon music and i was running google music ever since day one) and pasted music 4.0 in system/apps did a reboot and it runs great.
although i do not see to much difference between V3 and 4.0, but it looks like it runs smooth and there are a few settings added (but then again i didnt play much with the settings in v3)
it also has a smaller widget so i added a shortcut to the app next to the widget. its whatev i guess.

I've been running Music V4 for a couple of days and I haven't experienced the overplay of songs(songs repeat after finishing current time exceeds total time) This used to happen at least 5+ times a day so I'm thinking they fixed it in this latest version. Bravo Google.

Taken from Instagram's website:
It’s a fast, beautiful and fun way to share your photos with friends and family.
Snap a picture, choose a filter to transform its look and feel, then post to Instagram. Share to Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr too – it's as easy as pie. It's photo sharing, reinvented.
Oh yeah, did we mention it’s free?

I can install 1.0.3 version, but the app doesn't start with this message: Incompatible Device, Unfortunately this device doens't seem to meet the minimum camera requirements. For more etc etc...
Runs fine on Froyo
Wysłane z mojego HTC Legend za pomocą Tapatalk
I can understand why it would be incompatible on CM7. The camera is completely horrible in quality to those who don't know how to use it. I don't know how to use it.
The Sense camera at least offers some decent quality shots. I'd use Instagram on Froyo Sense if I ever jumped on that bandwagon.

Plz dont download instagram from any other source except google store. An unkown hacker has hacked the instagram app. There are almost 1,00,000 people using hacked version. The hacked version is just the same as original but you will never come to know when your account related data has been taken.

Has anyone else experienced a jerky google maps? I ask because my location dot on maps seems to only move every hundred feet while driving, opposed to being a fluid, continuous movement.

I ended up reverting back to an older version of Google Maps as well because I was experiencing similar bugs. I also missed having separate app icons for local, navigation, maps, etc... I went with Maps version 6.14.2, which I believe may have been the last version of that still had all the separate icons. It has been working well for me on my Note 2.
I also reverted my Gmail to an earlier version... I went with Gmail version 4.3.1, because I believe it was the last version available before Google updated Gmail to pre-sort all our email into the 5 different boxes... I just didn't like that.
When I was searching online for the previous versions, I came across a site named Android Drawer http://www.androiddrawer.com/
I thought you all might be interested in it because it has a huge repository of older apps of all kinds. Just search for the app you want and pick your favorite version.

Do you know a way to stop the older apps from showing up in the play store as needing to be updated? I have the hacked youtube that doesn't show up as needing an update, but my maps always does now. Not a big deal but it's nice to "update all" and not have maps update.

I'm not sure of a simple way to detach apps from the Play Store/Market. I thought Titanium Backup would easily let you do it, but it looks like it doesn't work anymore. I tested it out just a bit ago and it temporarily detached the app... but it linked back to the Market after a reboot.
User cthulu posted information in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50564811&highlight=detached#post50564811 , which talks about a fix. Credit should go to him if it helps you.
