What I did on the n900:

Step 1: Installed the Oracle JRE : http://uppit.com/p1glvshnvgn6/oracle...e-1.6.0u30.deb

Step 2: Installed WhatsApp : http://uppit.com/t79j5q219iux/whatsa...0.0.4alpha.deb

Step 3: Opened up whatsapp.

Step 4: Filled in the details. (Phone number + IMEI code)

Step 5: Got an sms with my activation number

Step 6: Opened up prefs.xml using:

Code:

cd ~/.java/.userPrefs/org/peterbjornx/whatsapp/storage/

vi prefs.xml

Step 7: Edited the <entry key="PHONENR" value="YOURNUMBER"/>

Step 8: Save it and open up Whatsapp

Step 9: Fill in the Whatsapp code you got via SMS.

Step 10: Add your contacts

Little questions I still have.

is there a way to get sound notification when we receive a new msg?

Ozymandias | # 123 | 2012-04-23, 21:12 | Report

I Installed Midnight Commander to edit the xml, worked fine.

Back to the other topic:
I received the message from my PC (where I have my landline number as whatsapp account), but so far have been unable to reach anyone. The only person I could get a hold of to try this out didn't seem to have the option to write to me in her phone whatsapp. will try more tomorrow.

Some things I noticed:
Yes, when you close the app, you will still receive messages, BUT if you interrupt your internet connection and reconnect, this no longer works. Also, if I send something PC ->phone while phone is offline, then go online and start whatsapp, I will receive a window telling me that my PC is writing to me, but the messages I sent while the phone was offline are lost.
Just FYI.

This is mine:

Code:

<?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="31"/>
  <entry key="CONTACTS" value="Long code of your contacts."/>
  <entry key="IMEI" value="your Imei code"/>
  <entry key="LOGIN" value="Your phone number plus your land code"/>
  <entry key="PHONENR" value="Your phone number without the land code"/>
  <entry key="REGSTEP" value="-1"/>
</map>

You might want to try to delete your peterbjornx directory and open up whatsapp again. Fill in the information, close whatsapp.
Fill in the verification code and get the error. Then close whatsapp again and edit the prefs.xml

In my example i'm using vi, but you can also use Midnight Commander. Thanks Ozymandias.

Step 7: Edited the <entry key="PHONENR" value="YOURNUMBER"/>

How to delete contacts?
What does a red square and a green square mean?

i still get unknown error. should we add this line? "" <entry key="PHONENR" value="YOURNUMBER"/> "" coz there is nothing to edit. my default prefs.xml is 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="IMEI" value="356938035641084"/>
<entry key="REGSTEP" value="1"/>
</map>

Eh, I have no idea why nobody has that line of text. Try doing what I said in my above post using my prefs.xml. You can leave the contacts line empty. Just fill in the rest with your information.

Do you mean copy it from my PC to my phone?

Correct.

E.g.
The Netherlands' country number is 31.
My phone number is 0644466333 (not really).
My WhatsApp contact number would be 31644466333.
Here's a complete list of country numbers.

I've already added my girlfriend (and more people) with that method. Hoorah!

Edit:
As for why some are unable to find the values I specified earlier on, here's the correct filepath again:

Incorrect:

Code:

~/.java/.userPrefs/org/peterbjornx/whatsapp/prefs.xml

vs.
Correct:

Code:

~/.java/.userPrefs/org/peterbjornx/whatsapp/storage/prefs.xml

Edit the prefs.xml file in the /storage/ directory!

Unfortunately, receiving a message doesn't print anything to STDOUT, else we could've grabbed the output and use that to play a sound.

Do you know java? :P

Yeah, or you could try using my prefs.xml with your information.
