maemo.org - Talk - [Fremantle Maemo5] [Announce] Yappari - New maintainership and new features!

Hi!

Well, Cepiperez knows a lot more than me because he's been using an up to date protocol version for longer than me. He's also helping me with the new functionality (specially groups).

Since the new protocol uses some different parameters, some functionality will be broken. Our priority was to make Yappari work, as is; we are now able to send and receive messages and that's great!

Most trivial bugs I will find myself when using Yappari, and I expect most of them to be easy fixes (replacing parameter names and such).

However you really have to be patient, since even if small changes there are probably going to be quite a few; I will take care of them as soon as I can but not earlier.

Please be patient :)

PD: Also, I realized that there was a build error on the autobuilder I'm uploading 2.0.2 again so it gets into de repos. This is something I really intend to do everytime a new release is made, but I will also keep posting direct download links, just in case something bad happens.

why not just make a list of bugs or whatever the thihngs to be added so u can plan to work decently, and one by one.

Ceene, I appreciate the time you are putting into Yappari. It is working now, so there is no rush to fix bugs. I trust your cat is now well. Best wishes

Re: [Announce] Yappari - New maintainership and new features!

Hi Armando,

Download to your computer or directly to Nokia N900? If to Nokia, was it using any web browser? I used Opera and it is taking over 5 minutes to download the 2.02 version via Wetransfer
Next question to you or anyone out there, HAM, stands for ???
and it is the installation program, is it different from the default Application Manager, and if so, is it available for install in the maemo repository?

Thanks to all those involved in restoring Yappari. Learning and still struggling. I am glad I can count on such a hard working and friendly community,

:):o

This was a very quick and succesful group-effort, as I understand, and I make a deep bow _0_ to the programmers, codewrappers, and not in the least the testers who fixed this: You guys are great, well done!

Re: [Announce] Yappari - New maintainership and new features!

THANKS SO MUCH, DO NOT HOW, AFTER TRYING DOWNLOADING THROUGH MANY WAYS AND OUTDATED WEB BROWSERS YAPPARI 2.02 WORKS IN MY NOKIA N900,

I AM NEW TO THIS PHONE AND NOT FAMILIAR WITH CODES AND WRITING THE COMMANDS, (USED TO IN THE DISTANT PAST)

THANKS CEPIPERES CODESRUS AND ALL THE ONES THAT PUT THEIR BRIGHT MINDS AND PATIENCE TO MAKE IT WORK.

WHAT IS THE BEST BROWSER FOR THE N900?
NOT IMPRESSED BY FENNEC, OPERA OR THE DEFAULT.
THEY WORK FOR THE MOST PART.

FROM CHICAGO,

COYERA:D:)

You know, I bought my N900 on March, I have had it for less than a year now.

On one hand, this phone fully represents what I believe to be cutting edge technology (when Nokia was still Nokia) both in terms of hardware and software. Of course it's a bit outdated now, but I found the combination of hardware+software that gives live to our N900 makes it useful still today. This is one reason for which I bought a N900.

You can report bugs here: https://github.com/agamez/yappari/issues
I think it's the best way to report, otherwise we can miss something.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - New maintainership and new features!

For nerd users like me, here the guide:

1. Quit Yappari.

2. Download the new Version to your computer. Connect the N900 via USB and copy "yappari_2.0.2_armel.deb" from the computer to the N900 (directly under "N900").

http://666kb.com/i/cvkbwlfff54so0m8e.jpg

3. Open Terminal and type:

4. sudo gainroot [Enter]

5. cd /home/user/MyDocs [Enter]

6. dpkg -i yappari_2.0.2_armel.deb [Enter]

7. reboot your N900

8. Now it should work

Actual outcome: new Yappari does send message correctly, but you only see gray tick which suggests message did not get to Whatsapp servers. If the person's Whatsapp is online, everything works normally.
Workaround: close the chat window and reopen it. This time you do get one green tick.

Anyway, not a big bug

Thank you for this report! This is already solved in develop branch. I will not distribute this change until a couple more things are solved, just so there isn't an update everyday...

It is the same with the "last seen". Seems that it only updates when the other person is online.... but reopening the chat window does not help here ;)

Re: [Announce] Yappari - New maintainership and new features!

Not related to new protocol version, anyway:

if you delete in terminal chat logs from ~/.yappari/logs, yappary upon restart will put empty conversations always on top -> every time yappari starts, updates last date/time in empty conversations using current system time.

Dunno how to resolve (I think last date/time comes from chat logs), maybe last date/time for empty conversations could be taken from oldest date/time in non-empty conversations (works with at least one non-empty conversation).

Btw it's not a critical issue :p

I tested, wanted to vote, but I can't login on the website there. Anyone else having the same issue?

I registered separately from the forum here, and activated the account a couple of hours ago, but I still can't logon to vote Yappari up :(

Re: [Announce] Yappari - New maintainership and new features!

Hello,

my curent version of yappari is 1.1.51. I've read here, that whatsapp changed the protocol and that the programm have to be updated to version 2.0.2.
In the update-manager of my N900 are no updates available. How do i get the current version 2.0.2? Which source do I need for this update?

The following sources are aktive:
- Nokia Anwendungen (https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/apps/
- Nokia Systemsoftwareaktualisierungen (https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/mr0
- Ovi (https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle1.2/ovi/)
- maemo.org (http://repository.maemo.org/extras/)
- Community SSU (http://repository.maemo.org/community/)

Thank you very much for the support and answers. :-)

Latest 2.0.2 version is already on the repositories, but it's only available at extras-testing (you would need to add another source that is exactly the same as the one called 'extras' you already have but replacing it with 'extras-testing').

If you don't want to do that, you can either wait for 2.0.2 version to be voted and thus promoted to extras, or you can go to the first post of this thread and search there for the download links, just below 'LATEST VERSION' header.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - New maintainership and new features!

As yappari-code is being adjusted in several ways these days, to our benefit, I would like to whisper a suggestion concerning an old desire of mine:

How about adding a feature called "Export (part of) this chat to a textfile" ?

This feature existed in a whatsapp-client that was used on the N97-mini (and maybe other phones that I am not aware of) and was very useful.

The database-queries needed for this should be quite plain and simple, and probably already exist in a certain way, as they are needed to bring chats to screen.

Suppose it would be done, then just timestamps and text would be exported, while multimedia could be replaced with filenames and emoji's with code-numbers or whatever is used or useful.

I would love such a feature added to yappari's functionality. Anyone else with the same feeling?

Hi!

I've added that to the list of pending issues. That's a nice feature and it's something that will be done sooner or later.

Thank you for the suggestion!

Re: [Announce] Yappari - New maintainership and new features!

@ceene the ghost + contact was fixed in the version 1.1.43 as you can see here.

I'm trying to see how to reproduce it to send you the log the shortets posible but no luck.

It just appears with some time after delete it, but can't be sure how many minutes takes to appears again.

Greetings.

In the meantime, I normally do this via sqlite. Works just fine. Not to say it shouldn't be added :)

Re: [Announce] Yappari - New maintainership and new features!

hi to all!
what do you think about two new yappari's "fixing":
1)when send a message without connection and have a gray tick, I would have the possibility to resend the mex with a simple command (or that yappari do it itself);
2)when you close yappari's window, and have other open chat, if you click on yappari's icon, it will open the chat window and not the yappari one! it forces me to have always the yappari window open if I want to have the possibility to open a new chat or simply read the status of my concacts.

Just click Yappari icon on status menu. That will bring up main Yappari window

Would you share your db-queries with us? :)

In /home/user/.yappari/logs there are the different logs (sqlite databases) for each and every number you've chatted with before.

So all you need is to run the following to export a conversation to a text file:

Code:

sqlite3 /home/user/.yappari/logs/NUMBER.dblog

.output /home/user/MyDocs/ChatLog_NUMBER.txt

select data from log;

This just extracts the text, without indicating who said what (but for my needs this is enough). The different punctuation is important. For fancy queries, you will need to use

Code:

.schema log

in sqlite3 to see the different fields that are in the database.

Re: [Announce] Yappari - New maintainership and new features!

Hi Folks!

First of all MANY THANKS all of you! Making Yappari to work you saved my life (again) :)

Secondly I have two questions please:

1) Has this new version of Yappari (2.0.2) implemented any end-to-end encryption as in the original whatsapp protocol? If not: Is this feature expected to be implemented in the near future?

2) I use "Alarmed" to connect/disconnect Yappari on an hourly basis; the command sent to disconnect is "killall Yappari" but in this way the little blue circle in the status bar does not disapear when Yappari gets killed. Does anyone a way to close Yappari + the little blue circle?

Thanks a lot in advance

KEEP IT UP GUYS!!
