I have a Dell Venue 8 tablet with Android 4.4.2. Today the Facebook Messenger application started to crash whenever I try to open it.

enter image description here

The crash doesn't happen in my phone (a Moto G running Android 4.4.4 and the same version of the FB messenger). From what I understand, libhoudini.so is the ARM emulation layer (this tablet is a x86 device).

No other apps (not even the main Facebook app) seem to present the problem.

I tried cleaning its cache/data and uninstalling/reinstalling it but didn't work. What else besides resetting the device can I try?

Well (almost 1 year later), apparently this doesn't happen anymore. I installed Messenger back a while ago and haven't had any crashes.

Try stopping sync with contacts. In Android settings, stop facebook sync with contacts. Messenger was crashing until I disabled sync. I think there's a bug.

    Care to elaborate? How did you come to this conclusion? Do you mean stop Facebook sync from Settings, or all contact syncing? Why would it help?
