Pidgin for example supports XMPP and bunch of proprietary networks as well. This client could implement a similar idea. Then it would be really good for the open source mobile community.

If you want to call it a "bug" thread - consider this a feature request then.
Ah I see what your after now.

Problem is, the features of Wazapp aren't near to being complete and bug free, so the time scale of altering this to communicate with another server would not happen any time in the future, near enough for it to still be relevant.

Seeing as Wazapp has been designed solely for use with WhatsApp proprietary stuff, it would probably be easier to use the Source Code for this app and then create a port of it using a more open XMPP server.

Im afraid his suggestion would be more viable, approaching the developers of that would be much more likely to help you out.

As it stands Wazapp is designed PURELY for WhatsApp and to change that would be to change a lot of its core code.

they are not your personal devs, and it wouldn't matter what you think, as they are developing and not you. If you want other client you are welcome to do it yourself. I can explain a lot of reasons why wazapp is better than other xmpp as mobile client, but this thread is about development. And you was asked politely not to talk offtopic here, as why it's developed is offtopic. You don't ask G+ why they do it when there is facebook. or yahoo if there is google or vice verse. It's not like they spent your tax money on developing wazapp client. If you don't find it useful, go and start developing your own useful apps. But for now you only harm the topic by polluting it with irrelevant info. Use search and you'll find all whatsapp and wazapp related topics, we have few of them on TMO, and if you, like you said, not that interesting in searching all over the TMO it's your own problem and don't make it's all other people reading this topic problem, as it's egoistic. Why do you think if you too lazy to find other topic, all active members of this thread need to be patient with you. With that approach you would never get anything you ask. Thank you and have a good day.... «I said good day»(c)

Thanks for the clarification. As with many cases, it spreads the community efforts thin.

ZogG: You conveniently ignored the point of the discussion (I think you understood the question well enough though). godofwar424 said above that the client is too limited at the moment and it's hard to make it generic. If you are a developer you can confirm this statement (or not). No one thinks that devs are someone's personal devs. But if you are scared of questions about community benefit from your applications - there is some serious problem.

Sure, if it's the question of no resources - then there is nothing to say. Developers do what they have time for. But if adding generic XMPP support doesn't cause overhead - they why not to propose it?

duuude.. You used some of my design ideas! Awesome I'm loving it already!

formats we can add:
mp4, avi, 3gp, wma, jpeg, png, gif, bmp, tif, mp3, wav, m4a, aac, ogg, pdf, doc, docx, xls, xlsx, ppt, pptx, vcf.

just a quick question. . I made a comment about adding numbers to the new messages in the chats screen. Any way you can add it?

I can add pdf, doc, xls and more. But, can we send those type of files through whatsapp server? That's the real question. You can't send those type of files in android, and I supose the same happens in other systems.

BUT that depends on whether this is WhatsApp not wanting users to have the extra functionality OR their servers are physically unable to send/receive such files.

TBH a file sending server can't really be unable to send different types of files, they are all just pieces of binary. The real limit will be the sizes of the files.

Meaning you might be able to send .flac files but not 100MB ones.

If that makes sense.
