Just donated too, I love it how you do keep the platform alive and keep me sane (because I'm not having unlimited international SMS) and and having too many standards-hating iPhone friends.

Keep up the good work and thanks again

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.21

Hi. I like the application, but not all my whats app contacts get synced.
Is there a requirement I am missing? It seems random.

Did you see that your contacts' phone numbers are in international phone number format (eg +123456789 ).
If not,after updating.Try Menu > Sync.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.21

Numbers don't need to be in international format, but they need to be at least in national format.

Local numbers won't be sync'd. That is, a number like 6667788 in your address book won't work. It has to be at least 786-6667788.

EDIT: BTW I just found you can disable Contacts Sync in original WhatsApp client. I don't know since what version this is possible.

There's still a little more work to do before the release. Right now thumbnails are not being stored in the history log (and they should) and some other little bugs...

I'm not sure you'll like it since there's no option to start Yappari minimized.

Anyway create the file /etc/event.d/yappari with the following lines:

Code:

description "Starts Yappari"



start on started hildon-desktop

stop on starting shutdown



exec su - user /usr/bin/run-standalone.sh /usr/bin/Yappari

And every time your phone boots you'll see the big Yappari window in front of you and you have to close it to see your desktop.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.21

First of all, thank you for your donations! they make me feel so much in debt with you all. So here it is, Yappari 0.0.22 for you all to test and discover dozens of new bugs!!! isn't that exciting?

http://www.sendspace.com/file/00lxku
http://uppit.com/79bm7ytdo32t/yappari_0.0.22_armel.deb

This version has the ability to receive images, and images only.

The next version will let you upload pictures, and that should be the last Yappari release with the current WhatsApp protocol. After that I'll try to code the new WhatsApp crypted protocol into Yappari to avoid the WhatsApp block that's coming in few days (and that will take a while so don't expect a release with the new protocol anytime soon).

Pics open without problem. Thanks a lot, Scorpius

Will it automatically download image(s) or we have the option to select which image we want to download?

---edit---
just installed, it only show preview of the image
When the image clicked, it'll open the image on the server using web browser (just like Yappari Log Reader).

very nice, thank you Scorpius

Maemo comes with libc6 2.5.1, and somehow you have a lower version?

Also it's impossible to have a running Maemo without libcairo2 which is part of the GTK and without it you wouldn't have a desktop.

Maemo comes with libdbus-1-3 1.2.14 and somehow you have a lower version than 1.1.4?

(.... etc ....)

Which OS do you have? That really doesn't look like Maemo.

Also maybe your apt cache library is corrupt or something. What I would do is reboot first. If the phone by some miracle reboots (since you don't have libc6 it shouldn't even work) and fixes the apt database maybe your phone will be back to normal, if it ever was normal.

READ ALL THIS POST BEFORE EVEN ATTEMPTING INSTALLING THIS APPLICATION

PLEASE DON'T INSTALL/USE YAPPARI IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO SEND A LOG. WHILE IT'S ALPHA IS INTENDED FOR EXPERIENCED N900 USERS ONLY.

UPDATE 9/29/2012 Yappari 0.0.22.

UPDATE 9/20/2012 Yappari 0.0.21.

UPDATE 9/18/2012 Yappari 0.0.20.

NOTE: THIS IS *VERY* ALPHA SOFTWARE though you'd find it's pretty usable.

Log is located @ /home/user/.config/scorpius/yappari.log

I've decided to share with you all a Whatsapp client I've been coding for a while now.

You just need Qt and Qt-Mobility (I guess all N900 already have this installed but just in case)

Code:

apt-get install libqt4-core libqt4-dbus libqt4-xml

apt-get install libqtm-contacts libqtm-systeminfo libqtm-messaging

And here's the deb file: http://uppit.com/79bm7ytdo32t/yappari_0.0.22_armel.deb

You can load the client and after it logs in you can close it and it'll run forever in background (you can see it in the status area running). To quit the application select Quit in the menu. If Yappari can't find a connection it waits silently until you have one so you can really "set and forget". Yappari will never force you to connect to the Internet, but it will always connect to the servers if you have a connection.

Yappari is event based so if your client is idle then it does absolutely nothing (no threads, no while(1) loops, etc). This is to maximize battery.

The first time you run the application you have to type your phone number and country code. Don't type any leading zeroes in those.

I think it's pretty usable.

We can continue the development depending on the feedback (that is depending on YOU).

ToDo list:

- Ability to send pictures.
- Creation of groups, adding participants, etc.
- Notifications customization (turn off notification for a contact/group)
- Support of other multimedia messages.

If you want to use WhatsApp on NITDroid and Yappari at the same time:

1.- Install NITDroid and Official Android Whatsapp client in it.
2.- Register your N900 phone number with Whatsapp. Complete the registration up to the end.
3.- Go back to Maemo
4.- Install Yappari if you haven't installed it already.
5.- Type exactly this in terminal (AS USER NOT AS ROOT)

Code:

mkdir -p /home/user/.config/scorpius

echo android=true >/home/user/.config/scorpius/yappari.conf

6.- Start Yappari, type your N900 phone number with country code
7.- Yappari should detect the number was already registered using an Android client and log in without any problem.

I'm not sure you'll like it since there's no option to start Yappari minimized.

Anyway create the file /etc/event.d/yappari with the following lines:

And every time your phone boots you'll see the big Yappari window in front of you and you have to close it to see your desktop.

You can minimize all windows with

Code:

wmctrl -k on

You'll need wmctrl installed for that to work of course :)

Re: [Announce] Yappari - A WhatsApp client for the N900 ONLY - v0.0.22

Scorpius, you're probably one of the most appreciated members of the community because of Yappari :P
And I would like to thank you very much for making this awesome program!

The reason I replied (which I rarely do) is because I have three questions.
1. You mentioned a 'block' because Whatsapp will change it's protocol soon. How do you know this? I only know it's been in the news that the protocol is very safe, but none of the news articles I've read mentioned an update.
2. This is more of an suggestion, but here goes. I'm currently in two groupchats. And even though that is a lot of fun at times, it's a pain in the *** when I'm also talking to someone in private. My phone just keeps on vibrating at times because of the groupchats and I have no way of telling whether a certain vibrate came from a groupchat or that one person. It would be awesome if I could turn off the notifications (or at least the blue light and the vibration) of an individual conversation :)
In other words, would you think about implementing the custom notifications soon? If it's not too much work, of course.
3. Have you thought about releasing the source code yet? I don't know what the new protocol looks like, but if it's safer than the old one you may want to reconsider releasing the code. Or even to accept help from others who would like to join in. I may remember this wrong, but I think I saw multiple offerings of help in this thread. Even though I may have no experience in coding for the N900, I will definitely browse through the source code to see whether I am able to help.
I'm a bit reluctant to say this, but should something happen to you (which we all hope not, of course) your project can and will still be used if you've released the source.

You're doing an awesome job, keep up the good work! I'm really looking forward to the next release and I'm actually considering donating to a developer for the first time in my life.

Don't hold it. Why do you do that? Enter button sends a message and auto-repeat is a common function of keyboards in all operating systems. Maybe auto-repeat could be unabled, I don't know.

That will never happen. Yappari is silent. It will only connect when you're connected. It will never force a connection. That's the idea of the whole software. It's like pidgin. The idea is to never close Yappari and let it run forever in your N900.

Quote:

2. Add "Check for update"

Also, that won't ever happen. When Yappari reaches stable state (version 1.0.0) hopefully it'll be in the repositories and you can update it from there.

Quote:

Conversations open the window automatically for me. Maybe I didn't understand this request.

Quote:

4. In most cases, notification are not displayed well, like joining in groups or left. when 2 or more occurs.

Yeah... Too bad Maemo doesn't have a nice notification system like Android. I'd have to think a solution about that bug.

Quote:

5. When I quit the app, and i open it again, the app do registration again. I want only when i changed the SIM app do registration.

That's because you run Yappari from root the first time and now the configuration file has the wrong permissions. Change the permissions for the whole directories /home/user/.config/scorpius and /home/user/.yappari (using a command like chown -R user:users /home/user/.yappari /home/user/.config).

But that obviously doesn't happen to the rest of us.

Quote:

6. When I quit the app, and i open it again, the app rest my status, i dont like this.

It doesn't, but since it couldn't save the previous status due to your bug #5 (wrong file permissions) you think it's always the default one.

Quote:

7. I want the app can save my status when I quit and I can edit them.

Maybe one day.

You obviously didn't read the first post. Right now there's a ToDo list that I follow more or less strictly, with the most important features for everybody. I mean I'm pretty sure people will prefer sending pictures that customizing status. After all that is done is when I could take individual requests.

A few weeks ago WhatsApp blocked Yappari and other third-party clients. We could fixed it quickly at the time (in 24 hours) but we noticed that the current protocol the third-party applications like Yappari have implemented is no longer used in the new WhatsApp official clients. When we analyzed them we noticed the new protocol has a different authentication mechanism, and it's totally encrypted. One of the biggest problem of WhatsApp was that it wasn't encrypted and the messages were sent and received in plain text. WhatsApp Inc. fixed this using RC4 encryption. They had to.

I'm a bit reluctant to say this, but should something happen to you (which we all hope not, of course) your project can and will still be used if you've released the source.

Not right now, but I think I will eventually release it when I upload Yappari to the repositories.

One problem is that if the source is open, WhatsApp Inc. can monitor you closely (like they do with Wazapp and block everything they do) and then start the cat & mouse race of WhatsApp Inc. blocking and we trying to fix it.

The second problem is of course a lawsuit. WhatsApp Inc. couldn't care less about Yappari right now it just have 2000 users max, but if I release the source, anyone can make a client, even a better client for Android or iOS, and if that happens they would also sue me.

Anyway I'm glad you're enjoying the app :)

I wonder if they have an application that's making that bug or something because a stock Maemo with Yappari installed definitely doesn't do that. I use CSSU Testing and it doesn't happen to me. I'm still trying to understand what is causing that for some people, but it's hard if I can't reproduce it.

Are you people using third-party software to insert characters in fields maybe in japanese or chinese? I definitely ran out of ideas of what could that be.
