I want to reflash my N900 completely. Which files should I backup if in case I wish to resume my yappari, when I install it again?

The folders:

/home/user/.config/scorpius
/home/user/.yappari

When you restore them you have to give the correct permissions:

chown -R user:users /home/user/.config/scorpius
chown -R user:users /home/user/.yappari

As usual and first: Thank you all for your donations! have been really helpful.

Features of 1.1.39 are:

* Fixed registration. I just tested it and it works, so no excuses.
* Push-to-talk: Press and hold the button and start talking, release to send. You have to at least talk 2 seconds to send something.
* There's a little green microphone icon at the side of the double green checkmark to indicate the other party listened to your voice note.
* Fixed random locations bug where the "Go" button wasn't working.
* I removed the "x stopped typing..." because it was annoying. If somebody stops typing/talking it just shows nothing.

You can all start testing!

EDIT: I forgot to tell you that there's also an option to change the quality of the voice notes you send:

- AAC (default), files are around 64 KB in size in average depending on how much you talk of course.
- AMR (tiny files - low quality), files are around 5 KB and recipients get it instantly.

The problem is that AMR encoding seems to be slow so you have to release the button like 2 or 3 seconds after you finished talking to avoid cuts in your audio.

AAC works perfect though.

In contrast Android clients send superb high quality voice notes that are around 200 KB ~ 300 KB in size and I think that's annoying.

hi Scorpius, when I press and hold microphone button, its type "recording" and nothing happens...

Delete your log, reproduce the problem, send me the new log and also the output of: dpkg -l

EDIT: Basically I need to know if you have the package gstreamer0.10-nokia-speech installed.

You don't need to do that. Upload the output of dpkg -l to pastebin.com

EDIT: You're missing a package and I'm trying to figure out which one to add it to the dependencies. Your Yappari installation is fine.

same issue of murik

dpkg -l | grep gstreamer show me i have the gstreamer0.10-nokia-speach

in the log i noticed the recorded audio is saved in /home/user/.yappari/cache/sounds but i don't have that folder or has not been created

You have to SSH to your phone from a PC.

Anyway check for the package gstreamer0.10-plugins-good. If you have that package then I really need to see the dpkg -l output, because I don't know what my phone has that yours doesn't.

Most of the problems are solved by installing CSSU but I want to know what your problem is to fix others that might have the same problem.

In my N900 works.

Try creating the folder manually to see if it helps.

i have last CSSU version 21.2011.38-1Tmaemo8.2+thumb1


this package is newest version also. maybe i have to install gstreamer codecs instead of ogg codecs?

I think gianko might have the solution.

Try from terminal (and from user not root):

mkdir -p /home/user/.yappari/cache/sounds

Thank you all for the bug report!! I'm gonna release a 1.1.40 with the bug fixed (there's a check if the directory isn't there is created automatically).

By the way this only happens if you have never ever received an audio file from somebody else.

I received audio files but i'm often delete all yappari folders, if you remember i asked you about button to delete all logs on exit :)

Yes, you need check for all folders...if you remember I had the same problem with my own profile picture...

Also can you make an option which files should go in MyDocs? for example i want received images to be indexed but not and audio files. Current setting directs all received files in .yappari or MyDocs.

It's totally possible, though the only options will be audio (not voice), images and videos.

Anyway I haven't had any positive feedback about the voice notes (nobody has said: "hey it works and works great"), so I don't think people were interested in that feature :(

I wonder what people want to see in their Yappari then...

I just updated to 1.1.40 and had used voice sending like 30 times. I love it and it works great! Thanks

i think that peoples didnt see new version yet...

And one question, when i receive video files its named like letters and numbers combination (something like A1wpfkg...mp4). Is it only my problem or not?

That's the name WhatsApp servers send so it's like that for everybody.

I was using yappari smooth as silk, but today I faced a wierd problem. It asked me to register again even when I was already registered and have been using yappari since version 0.0.17. What to do now. Yappari doesn"t run on my phone now as even after updation to 1.1.39 it asks for registeration which fails if I try to do!

Registration works in Yappari 1.1.39 and 1.1.40, I tested it SEVERAL times.

Why doesn't it work for you? Send your log.

There's no IM client of any protocol that does that.

Just lock your whole phone.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 
I try the new thing (1.1.40), it works good but is annoying have to push the "speaker" until you stop recording, if is possible, would be better (personal opinion) if you push once to record and one more time to stop recording.

It is normal when you recieve a note voice, came as an regular audio file?

Just curious, why you delete the folder, when you can delete the stuff in the folder and have the empty folder already created?

I mean, that way Yappari doesn't have to create a new folder everytime you deleted.

Greetings.

I just implemented it as the official WhatsApp does. Since it's called "push-to-talk" you're supposed to do that.

Quote:

That's because the sender didn't know how to send a push-to-talk voice note. There are two versions:

- Original Voice Note: Press the clip, select audio, select audio recorder or send as voice note (depending on platform). You (and everybody else) will receive this as a normal audio file.

- Push-2-Talk: Pressing the microphone button and holding it. You'll receive it as a push-to-talk voice note.

I guess that's a question for murik hehehe.

I have a big log file. Around 300 mb. :( Shall I compress and send the whole file or should send you some latest part from the log?

and I forgot to mention dat, when I tried registering again on 1.1.39, I was successfull in my first attempt. But when I restarted my yappari, it again asked for registeration, and it failed for the second time, barring me from registering for almost 1 day. :(

EDIT: Problem solved :) Thank you :D

You made recording voice at instant available
please do this for camera .. it's really important
it sucks when you open the camera and take a picture and go back to yappari select the contact and click on send multimedia and choose image and browse to DCIM instead of .images :S

Found a little "bug", when you send an image (not tested with audio or video) on the create chat window when you see the last message says voice note, not image, as supose to.

I know it sucks but tell that to the smart people at Nokia.

Maemo failed epically to provide APIs to do simple mobile things, like taking a picture, sending/receiving SMS, etc.

There is NO way for an application to call the camera application and get a filename from it after the user took a picture.

The options are:

1.- I have to make my own "camera" app inside Yappari, which I won't, and if I did it won't be as nice as the default camera app.

2.- Do a hack like this: Call the camera application and start monitoring differences in the DCIM directory, but if the user doesn't take a picture... it'll be a disaster.

Since I haven't found a way to call the camera and get a filename from it, I haven't done it.

if any of you guys have an idea, I'm listening!

Can't you put maybe rawcam or Fcam inside yappari and make it optional to do such a thing ?
instead of doing your own camera app; use the apps people made

I could try FCam API. I'll read the documentation to see if it's feasible.

In the mean time I need you all guys to vote for 1.1.40. Even if it still has that little bug of [voice note] instead of [image] when you send one (and should happen with video and audio too), let's vote so 1.1.40 can reach extras and people that are struggling to register can register easily and enjoy Yappari.

Vote here
