[REQUEST] Facebook Messenger 99.0.0.20.136 Resigned (no playstore updates) - Android Software Development

Hi everyone.
I really dislike the messenger layout since v100 and would like a way to return to the older one without google play to remind me every day there's an update.
So I downloaded Facebook Messenger 99.0.0.20.136 ARM version from APK mirror and used zipsigner/apktools to resign the apk (so playstore wouldn't suggest updates anymore).
But whenever I try to install the newly signed apk, it says there's already a package with that name... When I unstall Facebook app itself, I can install it just fine.
Anyone any idea why com.facebook.ocra is telling the package name is already in use while when I uninstall com.facebook.katana everything works? And how I could solve this?
Update: it seems to work fine on my Samsung Galaxy S5 running android 6, not on my OP3 running android 7

[Q] Updating Custom-ROM built-in Nova Launcher? [SOLVED]

Hey everyone,
I am currently using Dirty Unicorns ROM on my Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 WiFi (SM-T530) which comes with a modded version of Nova Launcher ...
I would like to update/replace it with up-to-date official Version ... since it's a built-in system-app I can't just use Nova's in-app update feature, nor can I just install the Play Store version on top ...
Maybe someone can point me to a flashable zip-file, which should solve my problems updating or - if someone knows a definite solution - fill me in with details on how to proceed.
Thanx in advance, friends

Update
I managed to get my hands on those flashable NovaUninstall.zip & NovaUpdate.zip files which did actually uninstall the pre-installed modded Nova Launcher and installed an official version using CWRP. The installed version was totally out-dated but I could easily use it's in-app update feature.
Unfortunately the now installed latest version is refusing to work ... killed immediately upon being started ... so what now? The out-dated version contained in NovaUpdate.zip at least worked - so I guess I'm gonna backtrack older versions until one - hopefully not too old one - will work. We'll see ...
Just in case someone is experiencing similar problems I'll update this thread once I found out something new - plus: I'll attach both flashable zip-files to this post.
Live long and prosper

Final Update (u.f.n.)
So ... here we go:
Tesla offers Nova Launcher Classic (v3.3) for downloading which seems to be working fine.
Quick Guide for updating Dirty Unicorns integrated Nova Launcher (to at least v3.3):
1. Download attached DU_NovaClassic-Update.zip
2. a) Boot to Recovery Mode (tested with CWRP)
b) flash DU_NovaClassic-Update.zip (automatically removes existing versions)
c) Clear Cache & Dalvik
3. Reboot the system
That's it … everything should be fine now and your DU running Nova Launcher Classic v3.3.
If you're happening to experience any problems message me and I'll try to figure out a solution.
Hasta la bye-bye!

PS/Update: I just noticed that Nova Launcher updated itself to the latest version and is running smooth and flawless ... nice!

Google Fit not installing to Wear

I can't seem to get Fit to install to my Moto 360, I've tried uninstalling/rebooting/reinstalling and resyncing installed apps through the Wear app. Is there a place to find the Wear version of Fit in an apk that I can sideload? Or if I just sideload the regular apk will it install the Wear version correctly? Thanks in advance.
I have the same issue on moto360ii must be a new bug. Just happened recently.
Found on another thread in the Moto 360 forum, the latest Fit apk wasn't compiled with the Wear app. Downloaded version 1.59 from apkmirror and now it loaded to my watch with no problems.

Google swrvices and purevpn

Dear all,
I just bought a Huawei Nova in Shanghai (chinese version). It has 5.1 emui. But no google services. Ive tried to download and install them and gave all permissions but still not able to start. Also i did install purevpn apk but it is frozen again at the beginning. It is about android 7? How can i solve this problem? Best,
Probably it's the same story as with Xiaomi phones with Chinese ROMs. Google is banned in China that's what you cannot use it. Try to find official international ROM for your device and flash it.
Hiapp has a modified google play and google play services. It worked on my device in China on EMUI 4. Not sure why the apk is force closing. Do they have options to set up the vpn manually?
hank you but i do not want to flash a rom. i found out that purevpn app is freezing when i was trying to start hiapp's google play. after removing it, it works but slow (nothing to do here). but still sad about google play and other google services part.

I now run LineageOS on my phone, so I have flashed GApps. Before that I was on EMUI 4 and it seemed fine with HIapps google. There is a free VPN called zerovpn and I got that to work in most places (again I am also in China).

Whatsapp apk

Folks
I had to install WhatsApp using an APK since the Huawei Play store did not have it
How long will the application work usually before I have to download another new version of rhe APK and install it. I ask this because this is how I had to install it on three different Huawei family phones and they are elderly and I'm not living near them
Thx
