Facebook and Instagram - System apps - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Are Facebook and Instagram system apps on all Firmwares? I had removed them when I was on 5.0.2. with root then updated to 5.1.1 and could hibernate them without problems...
My phone got repaired and it was factory resetted. So I just flashed the latest CIO9 5.1.1 XEU firmware. And those 2 apps are system apps and can´t be hibernated with the "optimize apps" function.
So I wanted to ask if every version is pre-installed with FB and IG.
I think BTU-version didn´t have them as system apps. Correct me if I´m wrong.

All variants are supposed to have them installed

on BTU facebook and instagram are not pre installed! So they're not system apps!

if you are rooted, check for these apps under /system/apps folder using Root explorer.
I am NOT rooted, and I do not think it is a virus as I have tried to do a hard-reset serveral times. Somehow the last update via KIES changed my CSC to NES instead of NEE.
I talked with Samsung support today, and I just send my tab in for them to fix it.

Latest google apps build

Since stock firmware has old collection of google apps, and updating means it doesn't over write the system apps, it justs creates another copy- would it be possible to wipe the collection of stock google apps, then flash over a new updated collection of google apps? I have
gapps-gb-20110828-signed, but with 2011 date that seems pretty old. Isn't there a 2012/2013 build?
Also my phone has LK1 firmware, would this be useful to you guys?

simply update the app you want to, and then integrate the update into rom with the help of link2sd or titanium backup

cheers will give updating system app a go. It's worked for play store, but for maps and youtube when I action, integate... it says system full. Even though I still have 70MB free.
I guess uninstall updates, delete maps & youtube manually in es file explorer and re-download again? It was only play store that is handy having it integrated, since that is an essential app to download other google apps.
got it working. rebooted, then let kies update firmware, rebooted again, then integrated maps and yotube
seems to work, however since doing linksd update system app, google service has stopped responding. No way of having a clean ROM with very latest google play store? The one I've seen has a older build, and other google apps. So it'll update it anyway.
one work around is moving play services and play store to user app. Delete any play services/play store in system. Now it won't create another copy, it'll use the user one. Of course if you do a reset it'll lose those files, but since it's easy to restore or recovery not a big deal (and saving 20 MB)

Most ROMs don't have that option in the app settings, you can use it through Link2SD but it probably needs root

Freezing is essentially uninstalling except the program is not deleted since it cannot be deleted because the system pertition is mounted read-only.
Normally you freez application that you wish do uninstall but can't so why would you want to freez application that you can uninstall?

You get update notifications for disabled apps (say an update broke something and now it's always in the background wasting CPU cycles) or it's just a seasonal thing (like I do for the Lucca Comics countdown, heh)
No there is no update notification for disabled apps.
If you want to have an update notification then just force stop.

Can't install or update Facebook and Messenger after 7.0

Hello
I updated to the 7.0 OTA a few weeks ago but ever since I haven't been able to update the Facebook or Messenger app. Whenever I try to it just results in an error code -505.
Today I tried uninstalling the Facebook app completely and deleting Play Store cache and data as suggested in an old post I found but to no success.
Anyone else having these problems? If it's solvable without a factory reset that would be great.
My phone is a fully stock E5823 running build 32.3.A.0.378
Yes, same here. Reason is the fricking com.facebook.appmanager. If you install facebook or messenger using adb you get the useful error message:
Code:
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION: Package com.facebook.orca attempting to redeclare permission com.facebook.receiver.permission.ACCESS already owned by com.facebook.appmanager]
So the facebook app manager is broken (most likely because it was deactivated when I upgraded to 7.0, not sure though) or not up to date an thus blocks the messenger from being installed. I found feedback from sony in some other forum, there they said that factory reset is their official support workflow. I contacted FB support but no response yet.
I'm trying to get my hands on an facebook app manager apk which works / is newer than mine. However, the one from apkmirror does not work, as the signatures do not match.
Code:
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE: Package com.facebook.appmanager signatures do not match the previously installed version; ignoring!]
I guess because mine are system apks signed with a sony key, the one I got from apkmirror is from fb or someone else.
If someone has an idea (or can provide an apk of com.facebook.appmanager from a working Z5 compact with Android 7.0) I'm open to try it out.

I found the solution. Just search for Facebook app manager on apkmirror by Samsung electronics and install the latest version. Now every Facebook app will install and update.
worked for me thanks for sharing

The official app works exactly like a spyware

Facebook messenger crashing - help troubleshoot

Hey there guys. My Facebook messenger crashing and I'd love to find a solution as to why and how to resolve the problem.
Curreny system: I'm currently on a rotted and S9+, stock Rom.
Tried solutions: (here goes)
1. Reset app by clearing app data and cache
2. Clearing dalvik/cache
3. Magisk hider
4. Hide apps in Xprivacylua
5. Reset phone
6. Delete all other apps than messenger.
7. Disabling Facebook/reset Facebook
8. Contacted Facebook with no result as they just advised to reset phone.
I hope someone in the aether wants to help troubleshoot or have suggestion I can try out to update the process.
Update 1: messenger Lite works...
Update 2: after. Approximately 2 weeks I have reinstalled messenger again and the problem seems to have vanished in between updates.
Update 3:
*************** SOLUTION ***************
Figured I have had problems with minminguard breaking other apps and tried whitelisting messenger and it worked!
Nobody has any ideas for good procedure to debug this?

It works yes, but I miss a lot of the features from the original version :/
delete it forever!
I have the same problem. I have magisk and Xposed. I can't figUre out what's happening. It crashes even when I'm just typing. So annoying.
I downloaded the newest beta on apkmirror and it solved it
I have the same problem with messenger and samsung's own telephone app. I installed older messenger app and it works without crashing ( disabled auto update). So now telephone app is a bigger problem for me.
Samsung s9+ Stock ROM, Magisk, Xposed

Same issue! And yes, I downloaded an older version of the messenger app. I only got the phone app crashed message twice I think though.

Today messenger forced me to update theirs app and there is no crashing now on newest version 193.0.0.21.98.
I will try other phone apps if crashing wont stop. Samsung cloud stop it by updating and solving the issue.
Is there any chance to get back the new update? I know I am off-topic but I kinda like it.
I have a friend using S8 and he has it.

Oooh alright, I'll try to update my messenger. Thanks for the info.
Wow hey guys, didn't get notified of updates. I don't know why I didn't think of trying an older apk, but I will check it out and report!
Nope, no luck. It worked for a while but went back to not working. Next step is to freeze all user apps with titanium backup and figure out what is crashing it.
Yes! The problem is that Minminguard (Xposed) breaks some apps with its ad blocking.
