[How-To]Install whatsapp(java port) on N900
 
I was reading alot of users got problems with or installing,setting up and using the java port of whatsapp.
And i'm here to make life easy again atleast for now.

What do you need and how much time this gonna take
Time 10-30 minutes

phone
Whatsapp java port
Oracle JRE
Filebox
Root
Internet connection

pc
Windows xp.vista or 7
Bluestack
Notepad++

First of all install all the programs that you need for pc and leave them like that.
Then download install root and filebox and also leave them for that now.

I'm assume you already download whatsapp and Oracle JRE.
Rename whatsapp-java-0.0.4alpha.deb to whatsapp.deb and rename oracle-embedded-jre-1.6.0u30.deb to oracle.deb and copy them in the root dir of you're nokia N900.

Now open Terminal X and type the following, pressing enter after each step.
root
cd /home/user/MyDocs
dpkg -i oracle.deb whatsapp.deb

Check if whatsapp icon appears on the phone.
If you see it start the application and fill in the infomation like IMEI etc.
now just press the button below all of that and yes you will get an error that is normal!
Close whatsapp now and launch filebox.
click on the gear looking icon and enable "show hidden files and folders" and press the back button.
now click on the arrow that point upwards and search for the folder ".java"
form there click on every folder until you can't any futher and you will see only one file named "prefs.xml".
Long press and select copy and click on the icon that look as a house (lol) and paste it with the icon that looks like a notepad.

Now connect you're phone to the pc as mass storage and open prefs.xml with notepad++.
delete all lines and copy this
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE map SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/preferences.dtd">
<map MAP_XML_VERSION="1.0">
  <entry key="IMEI" value="put IMEI HERE"/>
  <entry key="CC" value="COUNTRY CODE"/>
  <entry key="CONTACTS" value=""/>
  <entry key="LOGIN" value="CC + PHONENUM"/>
  <entry key="PHONENR" value="PHONENUM"/>
  <entry key="REGSTEP" value="1"/>
</map>
Example: (Thanks to yelram)
imei : 00000000000
CC: 34 (your country code)
Phone number: 123456789

then the file should look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE map SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/preferences.dtd">
<map MAP_XML_VERSION="1.0">
<entry key="IMEI" value="00000000000"/>
<entry key="CC" value="34"/>
<entry key="CONTACTS" value=""/>
<entry key="LOGIN" value="34123456789"/>
<entry key="PHONENR" value="123456789"/>
<entry key="REGSTEP" value="1"/>
</map>

and edit the lines that you need to edit and save it.
now disconnect the phone and go filebox and copy the prefs.xml from the mydocs to the original prefs.xml now close all apps and turn the phone OFF!

now we are almost there!
open bluestack and install whatsapp
launch whatsapp and put in the info that you ask for it
now wait 5 minutes and whatsapp will say that they couldt verificate it and that is fine by us
now turn on the phone again and launch whatsapp and on bluestack whatsapp press call me afther the phone fully booted up ofcouse whatsapp will call you and you will get the code
fill the code in on the phone wait for couple of mins and bam whatsapp will work

this is the most easy way i can give you enjoy whatsapp port on you're N900!
(will clean the tut later and add some pics also)

year you could do that and write every single line on you're nokia.
but undestand some can't do it or don't want that and this is the most easy way then and also if register not working this will work 100%.
So instead of saying something like that you could also be like yes this can help the ppl who arent not an expert @ this

Re: [How-To]Install whatsapp(java port) on N900[MOST EASY WAY]
 
You tried to make this simple but its messy still.

Do we need to enter the CC with or without the '+' sign?
do we need to put the '+' sign on CC + PHONENUM too?

is IMEI is the phone unique ID ? or the code you get from whatsapp?
if it is the unique phone ID, where do I enter the code that I already got sent from whatsapp to my phone?

IMEI can be just any IMEI and CC without +
most ppl just know that because its commen sense
and whatsapp can detect if you phone is on or on the net reason you need to turn it of get it ?

Re: [How-To]Install whatsapp(java port) on N900[MOST EASY WAY]
 
hey there - everything worked perfectly whatsapp is installed but when i try to put in the details for the imei and phone number on the verification page and click verify, the bar moves a little then gets stuck and doesn't move again.

so i don't have a place to put the code when i receive it from bluestack steps.

I am stuck on the verification page cant get past it?

Re: [How-To]Install whatsapp(java port) on N900[MOST EASY WAY]
 
By mistake i enabled whatsapp on Bluestack. After that i deleted my account and registered again to get a new code. But once registered even though i deleted my account it remembers my number and create account automatically. Is there a way to get new verification code?

Re: [How-To]Install whatsapp(java port) on N900[MOST EASY WAY]
 
This is what i did to make it work. And... IT WORKS!

The file that needs to be edited is in:
/home/user/.java/.userPrefs/org/peterbjornx/whatsapp/prefs.xml


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE map SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/preferences.dtd">
<map MAP_XML_VERSION="1.0">
<entry key="IMEI" value="yourimei"/>
<entry key="CC" value="yourcountrycode"/>
<entry key="CONTACTS" value=""/>
<entry key="LOGIN" value="countrycodeandphonenumber"/>
<entry key="PHONENR" value="phonenumber"/>
<entry key="REGSTEP" value="1"/>
</map>

----
Example:
imei : 00000000000
CC: 34 (your country code)
Phone number: 123456789

then the file should look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE map SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/preferences.dtd">
<map MAP_XML_VERSION="1.0">
<entry key="IMEI" value="00000000000"/>
<entry key="CC" value="34"/>
<entry key="CONTACTS" value=""/>
<entry key="LOGIN" value="34123456789"/>
<entry key="PHONENR" value="123456789"/>
<entry key="REGSTEP" value="1"/>
</map>

----

I restarted after editing the file. Then opened Whatsapp and I was able to see the code screen.

Regstep MUST be 1, that means that it will ask you for the Code. Else you wont be able to see the code screen.

Hope that helps.

no you need to reinstall bluestack then i know it;s stupid but we can't delete cache data on bluestack yet

Re: [How-To]Install whatsapp(java port) on N900[MOST EASY WAY]
 
RDilus, will you upload the Oracle Java package to the repository? That would allow other packages to depend on it.

In fact it would be better to have a "java" metapackage provided by Oracle Jave or IcedTea.

Yes, You should add this onto the first post too !
DO NOT ENTER PIN INTO BLUESTACK, Enter into N900 only.

Delete Bluestack and get new pin if you accidentally typed it into bluestack

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE map SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/preferences.dtd">
<map MAP_XML_VERSION="1.0">
<entry key="IMEI" value="356938xxxxxxxxx"/>

<entry key="CONTACTS" value=""/>
<entry key="LOGIN" value="9613353xxx"/>

I don't know what this may have to do with whatsapp.

Anyway, what do you mean by "root dir folder". The root folder is /, the folder where the "profile" for the root user is /root.

None of those folders is visible when connecting the N900 with a PC using mass storage mode (only the /home/user/Mydocs folder is visible).

I have the exact same problem!
I enter my code and then select "complete" on the N900, after which the screen sort of freezes!
I restarted my phone, thinking it might have gotten verified but the same thing appeared! :( :confused:

So basically its not getting verified!
