Facebook Messenger APK for Android 4.4.4: The Official App to Stay Connected

An android app downloaded from Google Play or somewhere else is an apk file, which is actually just a zip compressed package, containing multiple files, e.g. dalvik bytecode, pictures, text resources. To learn more about apk file's structure you can just google it. One of the files is AndroidManifest.xml, that was originally a xml file before the author "compile" and publish the app. You don't have to know what is xml but it was "human readable" before being published and become unreadable when the app finally reached you. The AndroidManifest.xml have a line looks like android:minSdkVersion="8" , sdk version 8 means Android version 2.3, sdk version 23 means Android 6.0, search for "android sdk versions" to get a full list. Now however, this line had already been converted to something unreadable. We need something else.

I found an archived version of the Google Home app on apkmirror and used it to install that supported version using the Adroid Debug Bridge (ADB) from the Android SDK (see: -inc/google-home/google-home-2-14-50-11-release/google-home-2-14-50-11-3-android-apk-download/download/ )

Since updating my Tab 8 from Kitkat 4.4.2 to the latest 4.4.4 android version lots of my games & apps crash almost every time I open them. Castleville, Plants Vs. Zombies 2, the Facebook app and occasionally Google Chrome either turn off completely after opening or freeze then close themselves or work for 5 minutes then just randomly close.
