About Wazapp

Wazapp logo created by The Best Isaac
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.

Despite thousands of Nokia N9 users signing an online petition, WhatsApp Inc. ignored all demands for releasing a version for the MeeGo. Tarek Galal released the first version of Wazapp for public beta testing on May 18, 2012. On May 25, 2012 Wazapp was made open source on GitHub. As of September 2012, Wazapp supports almost all features of the official WhatsApp client and languages (see features and languages comparison below).

The source code can be obtained from github.

Latest version (CepiPerez build)

The latest CepiPerez wazapp build is "wazapp-20092012-1225.deb"


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.
