Re: Java WhatsApp port
 

delete the contacts value in the prefs.xml file
like this
but keep in mind this will delete all the contacts you have added

<?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="CC" value="2"/>
<entry key="CONTACTS" value="Delete this value"/>
<entry key="IMEI" value="35*************"/>
<entry key="LOGIN" value="2***********"/>
<entry key="PHONENR" value="***********"/>
<entry key="REGSTEP" value="-1"/>
</map>

Re: Java WhatsApp port
 

for people who asked me how it works
here are the steps ( they are on the previous pages )
1- download the files in the 1st post
2- install them by dpkg -i command
3- run whatsapp
4- type any IMIE and your phone number and the small textbox for
the land code
5- activate it by voice
6- you will now get the code
7- now exit the app and open it again it will ask u for the code
8- you will get the unknown error
9- edit the prefs.xml
using vi or midnight or leafpad(i used it )

here is how to edit the prefs.xml
a- open xterm
b- go for root
c- type "cd /home/user/.java/.userPrefs/org/peterbjornx/whatsapp"
d- leafpad prefs.xml
edit it to be 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="CC" value="Area code goes here"/>
<entry key="CONTACTS" value="-"/>
<entry key="IMEI" value="35*************"/>
<entry key="LOGIN" value="areacode + phone number"/>
<entry key="PHONENR" value="Your Phone number"/>
<entry key="REGSTEP" value="-1"/>
</map>

and then open the whatsapp again and tadaaaaaa its working :O

Re: Java WhatsApp port
 

I think that the order is 5, then 4 and then 6.

In my computer and N900 the folder with the relevant prefs.xml is "/home/$USER/.java/.userPrefs/org/peterbjornx/whatsapp/storage"

In mines, CC value is the same as Country code (34 for me).
As IMEI I used an easy to remember number, so if I use whatsapp in another device, it will be simple to remember it.

When adding contacts must be remembered that must be added with country code but as in all this configuration without zeros or plus symbol. Example for spain international calls +346xxyyyzzz or 00346xxyyyzzz ---> You have to use 346xxyyyzzz.

Re: Java WhatsApp port
 

after you get the code, you need to modify the entry in pref.xml as front page mentioned, don't modify the wrong path, got many pref.xml in many folder, is the one in storage folder

change the CC to your country code
enter your phone number without country code
I didn't change the regstep and remain as 1

restart your phone, cause java won't close the program automatically, a clean startup will be better. start the program, switch to login, and verify, it will ask for your verify code, enter it and it will start.

Re: Java WhatsApp port
 

My suggestion to all here is to open a terminal screen and run the program with:

/opt/whatsapp/launch.sh

That way, when you want to quit whatsapp, just go to the terminal and hit CTRL-C and type:

exit

No more memory issues... I remember having 7 different java sessions and using the kill command is just too much typing... Hope this tip proves useful to all in this thread. :)

Ohhh! If you run whatsapp with:

/opt/whatsapp/launch.sh~

You will find the output a little different... :P

Re: Java WhatsApp port
 

To kill all with one command use killall -9 java

(killall uses names of processes and not pids to kill them)

Re: Java WhatsApp port
 

I know, but CTRL-C is so much faster and having so many sessions at once is a bad thing anyway. No? :D

Re: Java WhatsApp port
 

Please stop posting your IMEI!

Add.: Yes, my quote also included his IMEI. The amount of information added is however zero.
