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 (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=WTLJLQP2CSM7S)!
It will encourage him to finish Whatsup earlier :)

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

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

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 :)

Still is that a good reason not to be banned?

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

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 :)

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.

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

coderus
2015-03-04, 15:59
S40 have encryption enabled, but not forced for all users.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Leinad
2015-03-04, 18:57
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"

2015-03-04, 20:51
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.

then it should work

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 ?

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

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.

Hi all, hey Cepi thanks for your work here.
Quick question Is there a way to maintain the same account in whatsup (sailfish) and whatsapp, because I'm testing it on my Nexus 5 and I'm not ready to do the full commitment to sailfish since it is an alpha.

2015-04-09, 17:10

If it is the same device just only a different OS would they notice this?

And I would not be using it at the same time since I have to turn of the device then change the OS and then turn on whatsapp/whatsup.

I don't know how whatsapp works that is why I'm asking :P

why not? i don't think cepi is using different storage in harmattan and jolla.

afaik he had to build at least some stuff from scratch... it's unlikely that he used the exact same structure as before...
or did you give him such a good backup, that this was not necessary?
that would be great :)

coderus
2015-04-09, 20:22
he developed harmattan and jolla applications from the same scratch. if you think it's cool to support two same applications with different structure - you crazy.

As coderus said, it's insane to make it different
You can copy all files from harmattan /home/user/.config/cepiperez to sailfish /home/nemo/.config/cepiperez
Also you can use same database from /home/user/.whatsup to /home/nemo/.whatsup

Just want to add my thanks for this great work! So far working nicely since I installed Whatsup yesterday.

One Quick Question: As far as I read Whatsup uses an older protocoll version. Am I right in my assumption that it doesn't support end to end encryption because of this?

afaik whatsup using new WA15 protocol, but S40 resource (Cepi correct me if i'm wrong) and it does not enable end-to-end encryption. It does not harm your conversations, just all messages sent unencrypted and you can easily read them using Wireshark for example :D

Thanks Cepi,the above procedure works wonders.Another problem I have is that I cannot get whatsup connected to my work wifi(Might be the firewall at the office) but it works at home wifi and data.Any Suggestions?
BTW whatsup has not connected to the wifi at work even when I used it on N9.
Keep up the good work,loving the app.

Hi all,

In the case somebody would be interested as well, here is a summary cooked from various posts here how to read/write Mitakuuluu / Whatsup login and password information. It can be used for moving the account form one client to the other, but use it wisely (thx WhatsApp for random blocking whoever is using unofficial client).

Some time ago, I used Whatsup on N9 to register my account and then was using Mitakuuluu on Jolla. On the other hand, yesterday I did the "inverse" process when I migrated to Whatsup on one of my Jollas. Both times it worked like a charm.

Whatsup configuration file is stored in '~/.config/cepiperez/whatsup.conf'. The login data are:

[General]
cc=<country prefix>
phoneNumber=<your phone number>
username=<country prefix><your phone number>
password=<password>
kind=free (or any other account type that you have)


To read the Mitakuuluu login data, use a terminal:

dconf read apps/harbour-mitakuuluu2/account/phoneNumber
dconf apps/harbour-mitakuuluu2/account/password
dconf apps/harbour-mitakuuluu2/account/kind


Analogously, write them by:

dconf write apps/harbour-mitakuuluu2/account/phoneNumber "'<countryprefix><your phone number>'"
dconf apps/harbour-mitakuuluu2/account/password "'<password>'"
dconf apps/harbour-mitakuuluu2/account/kind "'free'"


Just to make sure, note that I first wrote the " quotes (that's for the shell) and then the ' quotes for the dconf.

I will try to find some time next week and meditate over moving the chat history between the two. In the case, may I a little bit bug you about that, Cepi and coderus?

itdoesntmatt
2015-04-12, 10:07
are you working about a new version of this???

sorry i've confused topic!

coderus
2015-04-12, 10:14
our databases are not compatible. only cepi can add mitakuuluu database import to whatsup and only i can add whatsup conversations import to mitakuuluu :)

Wolda
2015-04-12, 10:51
our databases are not compatible. only cepi can add mitakuuluu database import to whatsup and only i can add whatsup conversations import to mitakuuluu :)

It's indeed clear that the databases are not physically compatible, but it'd be just enough if you and Cepi would be so kind and provide their format to us. I understand that the bear-hunters (btw, Whatsup is developed by that football player, right?) don't wanna make public your whatsapp protocol hacks, but why such a thing as the database format can be made public so that they use their time on more important things and let the others to write database converters, no?

PS: 5 years ago, I'd take your "only Cepi / only me" as a challange ;-)
EDIT: actually, just briefly looked at it and isn't it that both Cepi and you are using SQLite? So it's just enough to match the corresponding columns and write a small conversion script.

coderus
2015-04-12, 12:19
yes, mitakuuluu database is not encrypted and you can easily read/convert it as you need :)

I tried to copy existing fields and values from yappri.conf to whatsup.conf (imsi, number, cc, phonenumber, password, username, creation, expiration, nextchallenge, etc), but can not login on whatsup.
From what I saw, imsi in yappari.conf is in numeric value, but in whatsup.conf is kind of like hex value.
and also there is "penc" field in whatsup.conf that is not available in yappari.conf.

is it possible to convert or get both value from yappari to be used on whatsup?
thank you.

From my experiments, it seemed to be important to set in the whatsup.conf also the setting

kind=free

(or whatever account type you have).

Just some notes for you:

- Whatsup database is not encryped. It's basically the same you have in wazapp. It's just text messages are in base64 (wich is very easy to decode).

- About source, if some know developer wants it I don't mind to share privately. I won't make it public because nobody can afirm how whatsapp is blocking us, and maybe hiding them the posibility to see how are we working can give us some advantage here.

- Coderus is great, it's not a challenge. I just made my own client because I can and it fits my UI taste.

- "kind" value in settings file is obsolete, the only ones that matters are "username" and "password" (the rest are for some stupid things)

hi Wolda,
Thank you for replying.
I just found the solution today..
What's more important is username field on whatsup.conf.

In yappari, I can customize my username, and it looks like It's not compatible with whatsup.

[yappari.conf]
number=1234567890
cc=99
phonenumber=991234567890
username=N900

As I tested, it didn't work if I copied username from yappari.conf to whatsup.conf, but this will worked.


[whatsup.conf]
cc=99
phonenumber=1234567890
username=991234567890


Thanks to cepiperez who created whatsup and also to all people, scorpius, agamez, cepiperez again, and coderus, who contributed to yappari that makes this possible.
I really admire all your works.

Hi,

I installed the app today and registered my number with the sailfish app. I can post and receive messages. But I can't select any contact from the contacts tab as this list is empty. If I tap on the refresh icon I can see no difference except that the os alerts me that the app is not anwsering anymore. I also restarted the phone already.

My phone contacts consists only of local contacts (not google synced or so).

How can I get the app to use see the possible chat contacts?

Thanks,

You just have to refresh your contact list.When it gets unresponsive, select 'please wait', or else it will quit and not sync

- Whatsup database is not encryped. It's basically the same you have in wazapp. It's just text messages are in base64 (wich is very easy to decode).

Cool! So I actually do have a few (minor) questions. I guess, for example, that type=1 in the messages table means outgoing msg, type=0 means ingoing, that's easy. But not 100% sure what are the possible values (and their meanings) in the fields like "status" or "key". Also I haven't fully parsed the field "media" (I can see there are comma-separated stuff like BASE64 of the pic preview, URL to whatsapp, link to the local file, but then there are also some numbers that I didn't understand). Maybe in order to not spam the topic here, are you being online on IRC so I can bug you and coderus a bit there? Alternatively, I can also start a separate topic here for this stuff...


- Coderus is great, it's not a challenge. I just made my own client because I can and it fits my UI taste.
Oh, no, I did not mean challenge between you and Coderus, it was just a childish comment that "only we two can import the history" can be read as a challenge for me :-). Anyways, I wrote before I knew both Whatsup and Mitakuuluu simply use SQLite3 :-)

BTW, credits to both coderus and you for the apps!


- "kind" value in settings file is obsolete, the only ones that matters are "username" and "password" (the rest are for some stupid things)
I've had a feeling it didn't work for me until I set this one when I was transferring my test account, but maybe (probably) I've changed also something else on the way. Thanks for the clarification!

Can someone clarify how contacts are updated in Whatsup?

Some time ago I synchronized my contacts with Exchange, then I removed all of them and synchronized again with owncloud.

After that, I noticed there are two list of contacts:
1 under /home/nemo/.local/share/system/Contacts/contacts.db and
2. under /home/nemo/.local/share/system/privileged/Contacts/qtcontacts-sqlite/contacts.db.

First time, Whatsup took contacts names from first db I think. But since I wanted to use contacts names from second db, I removed all contacts manually from Whatsup and also I removed contacts.db from first directory, Now, old contacts are not coming back in Whatsup list, although they are in contacts.db (I checked the database). Only newly created contacts are added.

coderus
2015-04-15, 19:07
why you removed system contacts database? o_O

yrannadx
2015-04-16, 12:18
why you removed system contacts database? o_O

Because the contacts from Whatsup were from this database instead of from priviledged so I wanted to get rid of different contacts database with different names for the same number.

Supports only Landscape, not reverse landscape.

This feature will be selectable by user.

Typical answer of a programmer that pretends he/she understand the issue but don't want to lose valuable time with such stupid things.

Better try to find more knowledgeable people somewhere else, or try to solve the issue by myself.

2015-04-17, 08:25
You removed system contacts database and you think it makes whatsup to work with privileged database. I have no words to explain how much stupid is it.
I'm not sure if this trick works with latest sailfishos, but you ca try. In file /usr/share/mapplauncherd/privileges add line:/usr/bin/whatsup,p

yrannadx
2015-04-18, 11:50
Thanks, this works. Sorry for previous, maybe not so nice, comments.

On N900 I used prefixed contact names for sorting purposes. When I switched to Jolla, I wanted to remove prefixes and I ended up with system and priviledged contact databases having different names for the same contact. For example in system a contact was named "(A) Test", and in priviledged "Test" for the same number. After removing all contacts and resync, only priviledged was filled up with contacts and system db is empty.

Removing the system contacts was a desperate measure so that Whatsup will not use old contact names instead of new ones. I found no other way to get rid of old contact names.

However, I find it strange that there are two contact databases in Jolla and that only priviledged is recreated from scratch when deleted.

however its not so clear, i suggest to modify to make more clear when you are recording and when you stop.

but is there a way to implement emoji without passing from emoji keyboard?it's quite uncomfortable


then it would be great message search function and multiselection of messages, do you agree)?

dbus-monitor interface=org.freedesktop.Notifications member=Notify

and tell me the output, or what is the dict entry "category" value when whatsup makes a notification.

(I don't use whatever, so i don't have reasons to install this)

BTW. If one wants to make better integration for tohkbd, QtQuick Keys or KeyNavigation works nicely.

If anyone experiencing this just quit whatsup and start again. Pulseaudio and whatsup was both using cpu constantly about 10-15 percent. I'm not sure how whatsup can cause pulseaudio to use the cpu so extensively but after quitting whatsup also pulseaudio settled down.

@ KempeWeidenbaum: I don't know if this would help or if it is the correct procedure, but it always worked for me. Earlier when I was using Mitakuulluu 1, I moved to the official android Whatsapp, but was not able to able to send pictures as android didnt have access to the gallery. So I tried to switch back to Mitakuuluu, but was getting registration error, no matter what I tried. I installed android Whatsapp again, got registered and then installed Mitakuuluu and Mita was able to detect the Whatsapp account automatically.
Then upgraded to Mita ver. 2and when I recently switched to whatsup, I installed it while I still had my Mita ver 2 and I didnt have any registration problems. After my whatsup was installed and was found to be working fine, I uninstalled mita ver 2.
So, my suggestion is, have yourself registered via the official Android Whatsapp, install Cepi's whatsup and see if you are able to register / or if whatsup automatically detects the whatsapp account and if either works, then uninstall the official Whatsapp.

2015-04-22, 02:51
i'm having a problem now. whatsup refuses to stratup. I see the spinning cover in the home page. when I launch it from the command line I see

[D] Utilities::logData:30 - Inserting message in database: BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
N:;Ch'ng Chee Wei;;;
FN:Ch'ng Chee Wei
TEL;type=CELL;type=VOICE:xxxxxxxxxx
END:VCARD - error

this error repeats itself endlessly.

I tried deleting the VCF and it reappeared again. This contact was attached in one of the messages and sent to me by a friend.

Is there anything I can do to recover the situation?

droll
2015-04-22, 03:33
i am guessing it has something to do with the messages (<phone number>.db) in /home/nemo/.whatsup folder and the some id or key field in /home/user/whatsup-log file. i'll try and see if I can find the message that has that VCF contact attached and I will try to delete that message from the messages db. any help here?

btw, I tried importing a contact into my phone contact from whatsup and it gets stuck in Sailfish OS showing importing VCF with the rotating circle.

droll
2015-04-22, 05:43
ok i figured out i cannot fix this problem. the vcf must be the one causing the issue and i suspect it is the apostrophe character screwing up your sqlite statement when you try to save it the db.

turns out the vcf attachment is not yet in the messages table. it was recently sent by a friend and it is still sitting on whatsapp servers with an undelivered status. everytime i fire up whatsup, it will attempt to download the vcf, and succeed. but it will fail when inserting it into messages table.

i had to register with android whatsapp again to receive the offending message. i am now waiting for 5 mins to elapse so i can launch whatsup again and reregister again.

Something is broken in last updates (mime-types maybe)

After updating to 1.1.4.29, contacts sync doesn't work technically. It shows contacts sync completed but new contacts are not being updated to the list. Can you please check into it?

I'm happy with whatsup and recognize coderus mitakuluu appearing at the horizon .
Will that mean we have 2 whatsup implementations on Sailfish or is mitakuluu the strategic solution and will replace whatsup?

Thanks for every info on that!

No, it wont replace Whatsup.
But this would mean that you could have 2 native and 1 android whatsapp client running on your phone.
So 3 different numbers on 1 phone :p

Hey there,

i noticed one thing, if i change "send read notifications" unter settings in whatsup all chats are changed to send a read notification or send not a read notification.
But not all, if i changed "enable read notifications" to "disable read notifications" in chatwindow before individual, these chats are not changed if i tick or untick "send read notification" under settings.

In the end i don't know which chat send a read notification and which doesn't.

Is it possible to make a icon in the chatwindow which shows if read notification is enabled or disabled.

Or another idea if i change "send message notification" under settings in whatsup, really all chats are changed included these ones which i set individual. Then name this option "send message notification for all chats"

Thanks in advance.
Best regards

Hi all! I've faced with a problem of re-registration of Whatsup. When I've already registered to one phone number I cannot change it to another. Application is remember the first registered user only.
Could anybody provide the procedure how to change the registration to another user (phone)? As an example, to exit the program then delete ./cache or config, etc...
Thank in advance

az2111I preffer the way it works now. You can enable/disable global read notification keeping it enabled/disabled for some contacts. It's not so hard to pull down and check if it's enabled.

what is different on 0.4? I like smoothess so maybe i still use 0.3..The only difference is nexus screens support.

Its not a particular format of video that is not being displayed, I have this issues with some .mp4 and .3gp format videos, while other .mp4 and .3gp are displayed correctly. And I am very sure, this happened only after I upgraded to the latest version. And the audio files that I have received don't play too!

Hi Cepi, thanks for your response but it is not work. I've renamed conf file and started whatsup, then entered the new phone number and try to register. After few seconds I've got a message: "Registration error. Reason: Registration attempt too recent. Please".

Hi Cepi, thanks for your response but it is not work. I've renamed conf file and started whatsup, then entered the new phone number and try to register. After few seconds I've got a message: "Registration error. Reason: Registration attempt too recent. Please".
What does it mean and why proposed way is doesn't work?

Now it works! First of all delete the program.
Then I've renamed three files:
1. home/nemo/.whatsup/(7...tel.#...).db
2. home/nemo/Whatsup/.backup/whatsup.conf
3. home/nemo/.config/cepiperez/whatsup.conf
And you should install application and register whatsup as usual.
Have a goodluck all!
Thanks Cepi for a great application for Sailfish OS!

Whatsup will have a new UI.
Contains a lot of bug fixes.

There are still a couple things to fix untill a new build will be out.
But I think that Whatsup is pretty stable after this, so it will be available soon on OpenRepos :)

Very un-Sailfish-like :(I know, but it's hard to think where to put all options.
Pull down menu with more than 3 items looks really ugly and it's not handy.
This is the only solution I have right now, if you have a better idea please share

itdoesntmatt
2015-05-29, 19:49
cepi maybe it would be better some button on bottom,cause it is more handy to use? you can use bottom pull up menu,in addition ,like other apps..how much option have to be redistributed on the ui?

itdoesntmatt
2015-05-29, 19:55
or maybe for things that are not usually used or not frequently you can set ,between option in pull down menu, the voice menu " other feature" ( or "more option ")


i see that option in hAmburger new button would be 7.. so u could set three on pull down menu,three on the pull up menu ( maybe ones less used) and blocked contact only in contact section. some option are actually redundant ...like media gallery in every section ..maybe its just enough in the main one

Also Qt libwa library in development, it's fully integrated with axolotl encryption. It's a bit messy code because i'm developing and using it alone, but if anyone want to use it in other projects (its not depends on Sailfish) it may became a very cool library.

I go the new I didn't like it, the pully menu for the load more chat was much better for example.
But fastscroll would be much better.

I didn't like the new sidebar, it would be better if the main page would be more minimalistic.

In my opionion the conversation title is useless.

EDIT: the new german translation of disable read status is to large and doesn't fit in the pully menu.

1) Load more was added because old one doesn't work anymore in latest update (I'm on 1.1.6.22). I don't like it too, I'm still thinking how to make it better.
2) I don't like sidebar, but a pulley menu with more than 4 items looks a lot worst and it's not nice to pull a lot in landscape mode.
3) title is useless? are you serious? All sailfish native apps has a title

I just mean I don't like the page title, as its very large and as there's already an icon that does the same.

Wouldn't it be possivle to make scrolll work like in the messenger app? (without any menus).

For me the old menu worked fine.

Since this seems to be the thread to ask questions about WhatsUp... One of the biggest gripes I have with WhatsApp is that I have to give them access to my complete address book (including non-WhatsApp users) when I want to use WhatsApp - that's the main reason I'm not using it.

Hence my question: Does WhatsUp allow for some control over which contacts I allow WhatsApp to see?

Fastscrool is system feature, it doesnt require developer implementation. In my application i have none of this problems, using latest unreleased sailfishos also.
