Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

I to use Yappari almost every day, please keep this app updated... :)

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

Again, thanks to Scorpius for his amazing work on Yappari. It is much appreciated.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

Don't forget to vote!

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

Scorpius there are many people still using this application mate. Please keep the work going.

On behalf of those who can't be bothered saying thanks...

THANK YOU!

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

Voted (before even installing, haha) but well-placed.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

Even I appreciate your aim to thank Scorpius and your trust into him:
the reason for "voting" should not be to just do it, but first install, check, do some (intensive) test, possibly debug, give feedback, raise bug reports, and so on ... (of course also: be satisfied) and then vote to get that really great piece of OSS SW into extras repository.

Keep that in mind please hjust a reminder).

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

Of course. FYI, been running the new Yappari non-stop for the last 1 hour and 20 minutes

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

I never got the chance to thank u but it must to do so

I am one of current yappari users and really appreciate your great app , it gave the device a new life

so thank you :)

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

Scorpius - emojis still problematic. Not saying it 'kills' anything.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

I sent all emojis, one by one, from a Windows Phone and from an Android phone to the N900. All were recognized.

Nobody has sent me an emoji that I don't have yet.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

I guess something's up with my install. Although I've even tried an and also ensuring everything is gone from the /opt directory.

Will test further. :)

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

Any update on your test?
Because today I also received emoji message that's not shown correctly.

Maybe emoji from iphone? Because my friend use iphone and he sent emoji message that didn't shown in Yappari
Does it mean official Whatsapp application on iPhone, Windows phone and Android have different emoji?
weird

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

Well I don't have an iPhone to test.

I don't know what to tell you. I have a Windows Phone and an Android and both seem to have the same emojis.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

Scorpius,
It's okay. Emoji is not urgent anyway
btw, emoji from Blackberry also not shown correctly

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

Yes, emojis from some of these other platforms definitely don't work, as well as from the Nokia feature-phones.

Then again, as mentioned before, it is not 'killing' anything.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

yup,, here too ..
windows phone's emojis don't show up .. its just an empty box !! :\

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

I received some nice video with whatsapp. I wonder if you can re-send it again via Yappari and if you like to do. Thank you

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

I agree with others, the emojis are not important. Just having access to Whatsapp via Yappari is the main issue.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

I've received my N900 yesterday, let's see if I'll be able to install Yappari :)

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

Hey Scorpius we really appreciate all the work you've put into this. I know trying to fix things must be really tedious work.

Just out of curiosity is there any reason why the app can't be named "Whatsapp" as per the usual name? Legal reasons?

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

It is not WhatsApp. It uses the WhatsApp network, but it is not WhatsApp is totally different.

And yes I would get sued if I name it like that anyway.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

Hi scorpius. I'm also really appreciate all the work on Yappari.
One of the reason for me to keep N900 as my main phone.

I made some modification in yappari's GUI.
1. add timeout in settings option, because 3G and 3.5G connection from my operator is not stable. I prefer use 2.5G for yappari, but in latest version from yappari, the connection always time out with default value. So I add time out setting.

2. I also change select contact when create chat button was clicked as window, so it did not automatically closed when viewing a contact info.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

Interesting. The "View" button looks really helpful (for stalkers! :P ).

The read timeout value changes what value exactly in the code?

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

In Whatsapp/bintreenodereader.cpp, there is a defined READ_TIMEOUT 1000.
When I change that value to higher number, timeout didn't happen.
So I add read timeout setting.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

That's the time in milliseconds when Yappari will try another read from the network socket.

If you change it to a higher value, the GUI should freeze more often in bad connections. If you change it to a lower value, the GUI should response better, but your battery will last a lot less.

It doesn't really has anything to do with the socket timeout, which is 300 seconds (5 minutes).

If you read the code you'll see that no matter what value you set there, it's inside a while loop so it will still try to read until it reads what it needs to read, or until the socket times out and throws an exception.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

this is my implementation of reading btw: https://github.com/CODeRUS/mitakuulu...eader.cpp#L214

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

voted for your app. and thanks for your all hard work.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

That would only work if the GUI thread and the socket read thread are different. Not the case in Yappari.

At first I thought implementing Yappari as single-threaded (like it is right now) will save a lot of battery. So it's event-based.

Now I'm not sure. Maybe the user experience would be better with just two threads and a dbus communication between the two. Now it's too late to fix it :D

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

not too late, just reimplement all public functions to slots and connect all the magic: https://github.com/CODeRUS/mitakuulu...lient.cpp#L911

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

Yes it is. I feel the freeze sometime just like in version 1.1.46.
But I think I can live with that.
Because if it is set to 1000, I can't connect at all when on 2.5G.
It says connecting, then connected, and then timeout.
It's keep on looping like that without really connected.

So far, 3000 will make yappari connected normally without time out.
I'm still unsure because I haven't really read all the code and how it worked, but really thank you for your explanation.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

hey Scorpius,

Don't know how to thank you, but yappari was the reason I used my n900 for this long. I've got a xiaomi MI3 and it's now my primary phone. Am writing this note to express my gratitude for coming up with this wonderful app. Live long and prosper :)

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

I updated WhatsApp in the Windows Phone and now I can see the problem of emoji you're all getting.

Looks like WhatsApp is moving all old emojis of 3 bytes to a 4 bytes format.

I guess that I will solve the problem creating symbolic links in /usr/share/yappari/icons/32x32 and 48x48. Also the code needs a little patch to include the new codes that point to old icons.

Maybe this weekend I can do this.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

Perfect, thanks :)
TBH, I had once tried to create symbolic links myself, then I found that the emojis are aso defined in the code (at which point i could no longer do much).
THanks for your effort

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

Hi, my n900 arrived a couple of days ago, I can tell it's a particular phone, expecially if you have used other OS for years, anyway I've bought it for curiosity and I've met some difficulties to configure something, one of these it's Yappari, I think to have done everything but it don't connect, it didn't asked anything about log in and I'm not able to see any option about that, as you can see I'm really noob, but I'd like to see a comprehensive guide to configure Yappari without bother anyone.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

Comprehensive guide?! It isn't so difficult ;)
Did you bought it used? Try to reinstall Yappari

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

Yes, I've bought used, but there wasn't Yappari on it, I've installed, but I don't know how to log in.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

Just run Yappari it should ask to register your phone number.

What happens when you run it?

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

Nothing special, I see the page where to create a new chat, no login option in menu. I haven't done anything after installation, so maybe I miss something important...

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

That means somebody else used Yappari before and you're using his/her account.

1.- Quit Yappari through the Yappari menu.

2.- Load: X Terminal

3.- Type exactly this:
4.- Enable your network. You have to have an Internet connection in the phone.

5.- Start Yappari again. It should ask you to register your phone number.

EDIT: By the way looks like you haven't used WhatsApp before in any other phone? There's no button to login: It's always logged in (it should say so in the bottom part of the window or in the systray).

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp Client for the N900 ONLY
 

I have used whatsapp in Android and Blackberry phones, Whatsup in my N9 and Mitakuuluu in my Jolla, but never Yappari, so I don't know what exactly I can found inside it :)
Giving first command in x terminal in root mode I have this error: cannot remove "yappari" : No such file or directory.
I'm sure I have installed it, strange....

Edit: same result for second command.
