About Wazapp
Wazapp is an IM application for N9 that allows you to chat with your Whatsapp buddies. Wazapp consists of 2 parts, the IM application (wazapp), which is in Python, and the accounts plugin (waxmppplugin) in C++. The accounts plugin should be rewritten in python soon.

Suitable terminals for N9
You do not need developer mode enabled in order to be able to have a terminal. Suitable terminals are (non exclusive list):
Terminal commands
Enter superuser / root mode
devel-su
Type the root password (default: rootme)
Install a new wazapp build
Download the deb file to your downloads folder (default: /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/), then disconnect the phone from your computer (if previously connected by usb).
devel-su
Type the root password (default: rootme)
cd /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/ dpkg -i filename.deb
(filename obviously is the name of your deb file)
Kill / exit a stuck wazapp process
killall wazapp kill `pidof wazapp`
Deleting your wazapp database
Warning: you will loose all chat history and messages!
rm -rf ~/.wazapp/*.db rm -rf home/user/.wazapp/*.db
Create a logfile for troubleshooting
If CepiPerez asks for a log, you will send him one ;)
This is how it's done.
Note: wazapp must not be running!
/opt/waxmppplugin/bin/wazapp/wazapp &>/home/user/MyDocs/wazapp-logfile.txt
Once you're done capturing your log, you can find it on your usb storage when connected to pc via usb. Post it on Pastebin, attach the logfile as txt to your post or send it to CepiPerez if asked.
