Facebook Home now available for everyone with patched APK

Facebook Home launched in Google Play earlier today, but it’s only available on the Galaxy S III, Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S 4, HTC One, and HTC One X+. Later, an APK of Facebook home was made available for people outside the U.S., and most people assumed you could use it on any device.

Unfortunately that wasn’t the case since the APK checks the device you’re installing it on. If you don’t own one of the above phones, it won’t work unless you are rooted, which gives you the ability to edit the build.prop file and add your current phone.

Since most people aren’t rooted, it left a lot of folks out in the cold. Well it’s time to get back inside where it’s warm because Paul O’Brien at MoDaCoposted the patched version of Facebook Home, which removes the device check.

You will need to uninstall your existing Facebook and Messenger applications since you will need patched versions of those as well. Once you’ve done that, just download and install APKs for the patched Facebook main app (katana), the patched Messenger app (orca) and the patched Facebook Home app. Then log into the main Facebook app, and Bingo…you will now have Facebook Home.
