ChatHeadEnabler

An Xposed module that flips Facebook Messenger between its chat head and bubble notification styles on Android, activated through LSPosed.

ChatHeadEnabler is an Xposed module that lets users pick between chat head and bubble display modes in Facebook Messenger on Android. By default it enables the chat head feature. Switching to bubble mode requires changing a setting inside the Messenger app itself, so the module hands the final choice to the user through the app's own options.

Installation follows the standard LSPosed workflow. Download and install ChatHeadEnabler, activate it from LSPosed Manager, then restart Messenger. LSPosed Manager acts as the module host that applies the Xposed module to the target app, and the restart is what makes the change take effect on the running Messenger instance. It is the same flow used for most Xposed modules on Android, and in practice the whole setup takes a few minutes. Nothing else on the phone gets touched.

To move from the default chat head mode to bubble, open the Messenger app and go to its settings page. From there, click the toggle icon at the top right corner and choose the bubble option from the pop up dialog. The dialog is quick, so switching styles back and forth takes only a couple of taps. The module does the work in the background; the user just picks the style.

It is a deliberately small project: one README section for the idea, one for installation, one for the feature. The split is the point. The module enables the choice, but the toggle lives inside Messenger's own settings, which keeps the surface area tiny.
