[ANNOUNCEMENT] Whatsup on Jolla [UPDATED 29-03-2016]
 

Many of you are eagerly waiting for Whatsup on Jolla.
I am proud to say that CepiPerez has made a huge progress on this!
Beware that there are still some stuff missing.

So, I made a video about the Alpha version of Whatsup.
Enjoy this live action of Whatsup on Jolla:

Please consider to donate to CepiPerez!
It will encourage him to finish Whatsup earlier :)

Re: Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview
 

Hey that's great news! The important part I guess is if using this application will introduce the risk of getting banned from Whatsapp

Re: Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview
 

Well, seems like it's not official so... lets get banned again, for good this time!

Re: Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview
 

This uses the same protocol as we have on the N9, since the N9 users have not been banned yet, I don't think we will get banned on Jolla either :)

Re: Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview
 

Still is that a good reason not to be banned?

Re: Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview
 

yes .

Re: Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview
 

how are things like the encryption? Can it also simply register with no issues? If this works I can make the move to the Nexus 5

Re: Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview
 

Registering works, but you can also just copy the old config files from Harmattan to Sailfish, so no need to re-register. You will also have all your contacts and conversations back :)

Re: Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview
 

I guess there is no encryption as it uses the old whatsapp protocols that were/are used in Symbian?

Could be a dead end as soon as Whatsapp phases out Symbian support.

Re: Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview
 

It uses S40 protocol, not Symbian. And afaik, S40 doesn't have this encryption (yet)

I don't think they will phaseout Whatsapp soon for S40

Re: Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview
 

S40 have encryption enabled, but not forced for all users.

Re: Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview
 

S40 devices are a minority and will be phased out soon at some point. Meanwhile WA is changing the API, partially to make that period shorter.

Do not get me wrong, I do really appreciate the work from CepiPerez and coderus.

Re: Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview
 

You are understimating the number of S40 devices out there, even in 2015

Re: Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview
 

Another possible problem is: will registration work also for former Mitakuuluu users (which used the android protocol)? I recently had to pay the annual 0.89€ fee after my first free year, and I don't know how Whatsapp will react to my trying to register with the old (and subscription-free) symbian protocol. I don't know if Cepi can know this either. We just have to wait and see, I suppose... I won't be the guinea pig, that's for sure :p

Re: Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview
 

If you have an unlimited use of Whatsapp account, it will stay that way.

Re: Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview
 

I don't have an unlimited use of whatsapp. That is what I think may cause problems... since from a paying users I'd be trying to become a free-unlimited one. But we can just speculate at this point.

Re: Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview
 

can you share with us the rpm package?
i understand it is on alpha stage but we can do some bug report ...

Re: Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview
 

as far as i understand, your "payment-method" is not tied to a device or system, it uses the method, you registered your number for the first time.

for example, one who used the "one-time-pay-method" on iPhone when he registered first time does not change to the "yearly-pay-method", when he switches to android.

i used an old Symbian device when my screen was broken and used whatsapp on it whithout problems, this did not change my "payment-method"

Re: Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview
 

Is there a whatsapp daemon running besides the gui frontend that receives the incoming messages ?

I mean do i have to keep whatsapp gui started or in background to get whatsapp notifications?

That would be an very important thing to not have an app running - only perhaps a daemon process.

Would be nice to hear how that piece of the archtecture is or will be realized.

Re: Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview
 

Hello,

I'd like to test the alpha if it's possible.
Can you provide me the package?

Re: Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview
 

Same wish over here :)

Re: Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview
 

Likewise;)

Re: Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview
 

I don't want to use Whatsapp with Android environment. Will wait for the native client :)

Re: Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview
 

@aka_makaveli

That's exactly why we are following this thread. :D
Although I have to admit I'm using the android app since Mitäkuuluu stopped working. :(

Re: Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview
 

the same procedure with me... :mad:

Re: Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview
 

Still using Mita but getting buggy now, ;)

Re: Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview (Beta released)
 

Registration error

--------------------------
Reason:
Server response was:bad_param

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview (Beta released)
 

used mitakuuluu before? when yes you should delete all related mitakuuluu folders in nemo/.config and nemo/.share

then it should work

ahoi

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview (Beta released)
 

Thanks for advice, but I have recently recovered my phone, so no trace of mitaluuluu in my folders.
It must be something else. I use android whatsapp. It could be related to encryption ?

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview (Beta released)
 

enter you're number in this format:
+country code
phone number without first digit.

don't know if necessary but I would recommend to delete android wa from the phone..

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview (Beta released)
 

Killed whatsapp android process and registration went ok.
Thank you !

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview (Beta released)
 

Very nice work ! Clean, intuitive and responsive gui.
I like it very much !

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview (Beta released)
 

Registration (Germany) , OK!
Working very well... i love it, grate work Cepi...

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview (Beta released)
 

Working very well here in The Netherlands as well, thank you!

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview (Beta released)
 

Works in Finland too.

As someone wrote:
1.) kill Android Whatsapp Process
2.) + Int contry code
3.) Phone numner without (0)

registration went fine.

Big THX and Thumbs up !!!

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview (Beta released)
 

Awesome!
Now I can get rid of Dalvik.

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview (Beta released)
 

Great work! Thanks! Where can we find the source code?

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview (Beta released)
 

Well, one more app left for me. Navigation. I use Waze, once in a while. I can now leave Dalvik shutdown most of the time.

Hopefully one of the native solutions will become really usable and then, :) :) , bye bye Dalvik.

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Whatsup on Jolla - Alpha preview (Beta released)
 

Nowhere. I don't want WhatsApp to make some shlt on me.
QML files are in /usr/share/whatsup folder, protocol is not so different from yappari or mitakuuluu, except I have a lot of unused code I've never cleaned. The rest is just basic like reading folders, files, etc.
I'll clean it someday and maybe put on some private repo, but there's a lot to do and it's not a priority for me.
