[Q] Cloning Facebook APK for use with multiple accounts? topic

Greetings, all!

I would like to preface my question the way I always do when posting here: I am a fairly recently blind individual, and my visual aid software does NOT "play nice" with the XDA Forum search feature at ALL; due to this, sometimes I don't catch previously asked questions, though I do my best to check for them.

All that aside, I have a question that has been plaguing me for quite some time. I am what I would consider to be an intermediate(ish) Android user. I am dipping my toes into the pool of app modification and scripting, but I am afraid this is beyond my knowledge.

I am currently using a rooted "vanilla" Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910T), running 4.4.4. I am expecting a barrage of "why?" and "what for?" comments, but I use two separate Facebook accounts. I am a part of a rather...underground subculture, and I prefer to keep that part of my identity separate. Due to this fact -- as well as my needs as a blind individual -- the usual suspects: browser windows, Seesmic, SocialCamp, Friendster, etc., do not work with my visual impairment modifications on my device. I have done extensive research on the subject and thus, I am searching desperately for assistance in cloning the Facebook app itself. I am thinking of cloning the Facebook APK file manually in order to run my two separate accounts. I know there are other apps that are frequently cloned, such as Instagram or WhatsApp, where the general consensus is to use the "APK Editor" app, but I am concerned about the implications that would have on future app updates and the app's signature and integration with normal Facebook features and other apps that connect to Facebook.

I have combed the web exhaustively in order to glean whatever info I could on this subject, but there is literally almost NOTHING regarding the Facebook app specifically. I do not wish to clone the app for sharing or to build upon it for a "new and improved" app of my own devise -- I simply wish to modify this for my own personal use ONLY.

I really appreciate any and all tips, hints, and shared knowledge in general that this community so generously provides. I will try whatever it takes! :) Thanks in advance!

[Q] Note pro 12.2 keeps rebooting after using facebook app topic

i just got my note pro 12.2 wifi version (international) a few days ago and already experiencing problems, firstly the wifi was so slow so i updated it OTA to the latest stock firmware i can't remember what it is but it's the latest official 4.4.2 they have and that improved the wifi but now i'm encountering issues of rebooting randomly after using facebook app. it's always after i lock the screen it suddenly reboots after 2 mins or something especially if i have say been using a lot of memory for it.. ie if i scroll down 4000 friends that's when it always reboots once i lock the screen. is this liekly to be hardware or software issue or an app issue?

i have only had it a few days so haven't managed to play with it enough to test it to the max.

just now it rebooted and i played one youtube HD video and used multi window to use the facebook app (old version 7.0 - i like this version).. but i hadn't used the facebook app that much while on, the only thing i did different was i plugged in my samsung s3 charger into the note pro to test how long it would take to charge using a usb 2.0 connection instead. it's official charger official cable, is that likely to cause reboot issues?

previously it was just after using facebook for a long time for a ram intensive amount, i also tested it after reboot and using facebook a bit and locking screen and it didn't reboot so it made me think ok it's just when facebook is being used a lot and all the ram and memory is exhausted caching 4000 friends viewing so i didn't think anything of it.

is this likely to be hardware or software issue? are hardware issues ever the main problem with rebooting?

I know the usual tests, having to use odin to flash official firmware, trying a different facebook version, removing and not using facebook at all and see if it still reboots and lastly factory reset.

ideally i'd like to avoid all of those things as it is a major hassle and i can live with the reboot issue provided it isn't a hardware problem. is there anyway to test it to know for certain it is hardware and not software and the app?

No auto-hibernation for Facebook Messenger topic

I recently switched to Lollipop and I noticed that Greenify doesn't auto-hibernate FB Messenger. I enabled auto-hibernation, and it works with all apps except Messenger. I'm rooted and Greenify is set as Device Administrator.

I noticed that if I were to manually hibernate the app, and then open it back, the auto-hibernation would work correctly. However, if I had a chat-head displayed on screen, then the auto-hibernation would be disabled.

I attached some screens. Basically: no chat-head -> works perfectly; chat-head displayed -> no auto-hibernation
The phone is Nexus 4 running CM12 nightly.
I didn't really pay attention while I was on KitKat, so I can't say if it worked before or not, but now I see this as an issue that I'd like to fix somehow. If donation version would make a difference, I'm open for that.

Does the Facebook messenger app consume data without using it? topic

I've seen that this app has consumed about 20MB in 20 days, but I've bearly used it, maybe a couple of very short conversations in that period of time with no media being transferred. Does it consume data in the background or something? I know 20MB is not much, but, considering the usage, I find this a bit excessive.

Thanks in advance.

[Q] Keep facebook session between app sessions topic

I know it should go to the software development but I don't have access rights so I got a message to post my question here, I hope this is the right place.

I know how to login to Facebook and use its info but I don't understand how to keep this session alive if the user presses the home button and opens my app again. There are a lot of functions related to session like getActiveSession, openSessionFromCache etc. but that's only making me more confused.

I have one activity that holds the different fragments when they're needed so I guess I should do something in MainActivity's onResume but I don't understand how can I check for Facebook session existence and if it is, use it or "wake it up" and continue from where the user has left it.

I searched the net but I keep getting to posts about logging in to Facebook but not how to maintain it afterwards
Please advice
Thanks

No push notifications from Facebook topic

Hello guys,
I have got a weird problem. Everytime I post photo or I am tagged in the photo my LG G2 doesn't send me a notification and it also doesn't pop up on the notification bar. It also doesn't display on the facebook icon as an unread notification.
Also the same thing happens when someone add something new into the group.
Does someone face a same problem? Any advice how to solve it?
