Messenger pro beginner's guide

Mpro_guide.md

Guide version: 1.1.1-sqrt3 (follows sqrt/loukious releases.)

1.1.3 is skipped as it doesn't bring anything new to the table. I do recommend 1.1.3 if you are updating from loukius's 1.1.1

THIS IS AN UNROOTED GUIDE, However this works on rooted devices - Added special root section now. **Please report your device in the comments if mrpo works on your device and the android version hasn't been added to the chart below

Frequently asked questions

Q: I can't open the settings.

A: Swipe up with two fingers. Or hold the Chats button. Otherwise refer to troubleshooting section.

Q: Is this stock or modded Facebook?

A: It's stock and I do not plan to patch it with mods nor add it into the guide. UNLESS there is high demand and the mod is open source. I will still provide stock Facebook.

Q: This closed source solution is way better, why won't you advertise it?

A: Messenger pro was always and always will be free and open source at it's core. Advertising closed source feels both unfair to the original author and it has much less debugging info.

Q: I need help, I can't install it?

A: Carefully read the guide, if you still can't it, reach out on mpro telegram (link on the end of the page in the troubleshooting section.)

Q: Pixeldrain is blocked in my country, what do I do?

A: Reach out on mpro telegram support group. I provide a mirror there.

Rooted or non-root?
Install messenger first, then mpro APK
If you are rooted DO NOT enable the hook in lsposed, that will cause a crash

Same, crashing when opening messenger, my phone is not rooted
Wait, I tought we need mrvpatcher, what is lsposed?

Ignore lsposed if you're not rooted
Could you specify messenger pro version you're using and messenger version?
Can you try enabling "Mask package name" in mrvpatcher's settings and re-patching the app?

Im using Loukious MessengerPro mPro-v1.1.1.apk and Messenger v439.0.0.29.119

I patched using v8a version. I think op uses v7a which is why it crashes.

Good idea ztrez, Stek try different app architecture like he suggested

It worked, I don't know what was the problem exactly. I downloaded messenger apk from apkpure, enabled Mask package name and now it works, no crashing. Thanks for the help

That one is arm64-v8a, I might drop armeabi-v7a (32-bit version) support if such issues persist

I have new problem now, features in Mpro are not saving after I hit the save button, I need to use the toolbar to enable or disable them

Force stop both apps, start with messenger then mpro. This will make mpro re-hook into the app, this only appears to happen on a fresh install

Tried this, not saving again

Features doesnt work. The menu and settings of messengerpro would show up but i wont be able to use the features. It may seem like its toggled on and is working but when you test it it doesnt work. How to fix?

Encrypted chats do not work. Go to the dev about it or find someone who knows java/kotlin to fix it as it uses different code than regular chats.

Idk why prevent seen indicator and format messages dont work on my phone android 10 and other functions seems normally usable ?

No implementation for encrypted chats prevent seen indicator is currently (F)OSS.

@Terrariadlc, I've been dealing with a non-functioning Messenger Pro for the past few months— that is, until I discovered your fork today. I've tested it out and it's working!

Thank you so much!!!

Latest supported version can be updated to 462. On 463 and above it makes the app freeze and crash, so the module is on borrowed time and may need to be updated in the future once support for 462 is dropped server-side.

@n1cKz1 please share the exact version of 462 or the link to apk. Which android version are you using? Rooted or unrooted?

Hey @misterpyrrhuloxia thank you for the feedback! I only keep a simple guide due to how much people were struggling, glad to see it works for you!
@n1cKz1 I will not update the guide untill major changes come out or the app stops working, this is due to two major things

1. I don't sign the Mpro app, this is done by either of the fork devs - sqrt and loukius
2. The mod works as-is and latest fully tested is 449 but its signed by loukius, I prefer to stay on sqrt for now so people don't have to reinstall mpro every time they want to do a minor update, hope you understand :D
