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

*To uninstall system apps, you must use a root file explorer, delete the apk of the application you want to replace in /system/apps, reboot and uninstall through settings the apps

Unable to install any of the app, receive error "parse error - there was a problem while parsing the package" I think this apps are unsupported.....

Thanks. They all are working. Just uninstall old apps before.

I was also trying to use the apps - besides the messenger app (note its not hangouts! - its the new sms application). the other apps don`t work for me. The installer complains that another application is already installed.
(Stock Rom without root)

To uninstall system apps, you must use a root file explorer, delete the apk file in /system/apps, reboot and uninstall through settings the apps.

also some of these apps require you to be using ART instead of dalvik or the app will crash

Sorry, I'm french ^^' After you remove the apk in /system/app, you need to uninstall the application via the settings apps.

Same position, yesterday evening it's suddenly asking for an update but the store doesnt seem to have it or want to give me access to it.
Can some kind soul help me with this updated app? It would be greatly appreciated.

Which is a reliable source for Google Account Manager apk?

I have been reading up on what it would take to make sideloaded apps that require Google Play Services to work correctly. All the posts I have read point to downloading a package of files from someone's dropbox account.
Being paranoid of malware, I would like to see if I can either download it from a Google Play Store site, APKMIRROR or create an APK from the files which are already present on my current Android Smartphone.
Can someone please suggest some alternatives.
On a related note, just because an APK from an online site does not exhibit any weird behavior does not mean it is malware-free. Often malware do their job silently in the background while the device appears to function normally.

All APKs are signed. You just need to verify the signature is Google's.

@rbox - That is certainly not true.

Um... what?
To quote that page:
A signature in the apk attests to the authenticity of the file as long as the public key can be traced to the original developer.

All APKs are signed by the developer. In the case of gapps, they are all signed with Google's key. You just verify that that key mathes something you trust, that you know is signed by google.

Fair point. But what I was trying to indicate is Google Account Manager is not an official APK package made available by Google. So how would I verify that?

No clue what google account manager is. Download it from the play store, then check the signature. Then you can download it from anywhere you want on the web and verify the signature.

Many google apps don't work with microg, it might be the reason, u can create a id and password on xda directly.

Xda one app that you will have a problem with. Easy fix is to go to xda through the browser and change your password. Then go back to xda app. Login with your username and pass. Don't try to click th G icon it won't work now that you are using microg.
What other apps are you using that are giving you a problem?

Its better to add what apps are working which apps are not working in OP, so that people don't report them again.
It would be good if you add that backup and sync zip to OP, as few people like me backup contacts on google.

I haven't listed any because I haven't had any issues with any gapps I use.
Export your contacts to your sim or export your contact file to your cloud storage. You can also download Google contacts from Play Store and APP OP it.
The point of all of this is to reduce wakelock, slim down your ROM and tell Google to mind their business. I didn't add contact sync because it is one of the services that frequently run even when sync is turned off. Ween off Google. Easy is not always right.

Do you mean the back end plugins? Unifiednlp is part of the gsm core for what i read on MicroG. Which plugins did you find worked the best? I've been busy with work to test out which one works the best. Good idea though. Ill put the backends in the zip hopefully tonight.
