sabsa prime: can't update facbook app

I can't update facebook app in play store . It's said cannot update. I tried to delete facebook with systemapp remover then re-install it again. But it still can't install in error message. Someone please help me. Thank you
Ps. Sorry for my broken English.

I've solved it :
With TitaniumBackup, transform the Facebook app to a user app.
Uninstall it and download it from the PlayStore.
Same for Street View !

With Titanium Backup, you have the possibility to make a system app a user app.
I've done it, then uninstall it, and downloaded it again from play store...
After that my update was ok !
PS : It's possible you don't need to transform the app to a user app... Perhaps you just have to unistall it with TB or a root unistaller...

I recently got this Galaxy S4 Mini GT-I9195. Its shipped with Android 4.2.2
The device is not rooted yet,
When i go to application manager -> Hangouts
i do not see uninstall button. All what I see is, 'Force Stop' & 'Turn Off'
I want to uninstall this annoying app and want to use Google Talk. I do have Gtalk APK with me.
When I try to install it, it says App cant be installed,

fburgos,
finally i found the way to insert link here. Sorry for my bad
you can download and check .apk from here.
http://code.google.com/p/sawsan-android/downloads/detail?name=GTalk_4.1.2-509230.apk
google still supports Google talk.
I have same on my Galaxy Note which has got it pre-installed.
I am just not opting for the update play store prompts me to do and this is how I can enjoy gtalk
Please help

Firat you can't uninstall hangouts because it's a system app, and turning off dond't let you install talk.
Your apk works fine on my phone.
The only way to uninstall a system app is to have root access

To remove junk system apps I prefer to use '/system/app remover', it is still available from the play store. Basically you select the app you want to remove and then reboot (you can select multiple apps to remove before rebooting too). Once you have rebooted you go into your system settings > apps and then uninstall the apps as they will have been made into regular apps.

I found this these application authors - when I searched '/system/app remover' on on Google Play Store:
"jumobile" - System app remover (ROOT)
"ljmobile" - System app uninstaller
"Intellectio Pte. Ltd." - Root App Remover
Please confirm if the one you mentioned is on this list
And thank you so much for your help.

Sorry, the name I had given was slightly wrong. It is in fact /system/app mover. See the attached screenshot for the publisher name too.

lastest official whatsapp from playstore works just fine. it just showed device not supported when u open it directly, but if u create a shortcut or widget of any whatsapp contact or group on homescreen then u can open and use it from there. or open it from fastlane history.

I will give it a try. Thanks.

there seems to be some issue with build.prop for which the official updated whatsapp and fb app does not work.
I found that Baidu cloud rom beta 49, both whatsapp and fb works out of the box, no mod required.
however, stock rom and all other custom rom does not support the official apps.
the problem seems to be within the given part of build.prop file
HTML:
# begin build properties
# autogenerated by buildinfo.sh
.....
.....
# end build properties
If we replace this whole part with a build.probp of a rom which already supports ( Eg: Baidu Beta 49 build.prop) whatsapp and fb...it seems to be working.
Hit thanks if I helped you

Updated versions of Whatsapp show an error message when opened directly. But Whatsapp is still accessible in Nokia X range devices. You may use any of these possible solutions.
1. You may open Whatsapp by accessing fastlane history like mdfzhi directed. This will open the conversations directly.
2. Whatsapp+ works just fine if you follow the below steps.
-> Install Whatsapp
-> Open it through fastlane history and send some whatsapp messages to friends
-> And it is better if u make a message backup
-> Uninstall Whatsapp
-> Install Whatsapp+
3. Changing the build.prop file might fix the problem but it might lead to unwanted issues later. Inorder to change the build.prop you would have to root your phone, which voids warranty. If you are willing to take the risk, it is better advised that you install a custom rom rather than trying to just change the build.prop file.
Considering your problem, I would recommend using the 2nd method by installing whatsapp plus. This might solve your problem.

Solved

Get Google Assistant

This is a simple tweak to get google assistant working on your device.
Note: This tweak only works with devices running android 7.0 and above. So, if you flash on a lower version and screw your device, I'm not responsible. Do it at your own risk!!!
So all you have to do is add a piece of code to your build.prop
Here's the code:
Code:
ro.product.model=Pixel XL
ro.opa.eligible_device=true
Reboot your device and we're done. Google Assistant is ready to serve you.
Note:You must have google app installed on your device and move it to /system/app
Screenshots:

Nougat is in early stage so I know most of Redmi 1s users still using marshmallow, so I share to you how to get Google Assistant in Lollipop and Marshmallow.
You need Xposed Framework and Assistant Enabler module. Just enable the module and you are good to go.

What I did was :
Install Pixel Launcher, move it to system.
Install Google App, move it to system
Update Build.prop
(I used Kernel Adiutor to update it, Open KA, goto Buil prop Editor, click on that small (+) symbol, select "Add", in "Key" add the name like "ro.xxx.xxx" and in value "Enable" and enter both the attributes. Done there.)
Restart
Update Google App from play store.

You can uninstall (delete) useless system apps from /System/App and /System/Priv-App since the memory allocated to the system is really small in your case mostly, changing which is really a tedious work to do.
You can do:
Install Google Keyboard and delete default Keyboard (folder named as LatinMe)
Remove FM Radio
Remove "AntHAL" if you don't use fitness devices
Remove CM File Manager, instead you can use ES File Explorer Pro
Install Chrome and remove default Browser.

What gapps did you use bro! Use open gapps pico version. I was left with some 70 mb of system space after I flashed it (without removing any apps).

I couldn't even install newer version of open gapps so I had to flash another one (which I don't know from where I got it) and I also installed pixel launcher in the system.
