Wazapp(spanish)

Sobre Wazapp

Logo de Wazapp creado por The Best Isaac

Wazapp consta de 2 partes, la aplicación de mensajería (wazapp), la cual está escrita en Python, y el plugin de cuentas(waxmppplugin) escrito en C++. El plugin de cuentas será reescrito en python pronto.

A pesar de los miles de usuarios del Nokia N9 que firmaron la petición online, WhatsApp Inc. ignoró 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.

Terminal commands

Enter superuser / root mode

devel-su

How to backup your Wazapp database

This should be done prior to anything else. Just in case things get bad (and they will sooner or later).

GUI solution

1. Disconnect USB cable in case phone is connected to computer.
2. Activate "Show root filesystem" AND "Show hidden files" in Filebox settings menu.
3. Navigate to folder

   /home/user/.wazapp

4. You should see a file similar to

   123456789012345.db

5. Select and copy it (long keypress)
6. Navigate to

   /home/user/MyDocs

   and paste the file here

7. Close Filebox and connect your phone by USB cable.
8. You should find your backup copy in the MyDocs folder.

Terminal solution

1. Disconnect USB cable in case phone is connected to computer.
2. Open your favourite terminal
3. Type

   cp ~/.wazapp/*.db ~/MyDocs/

4. Close terminal and connect your phone by USB cable.
5. You should find your backup copy in the MyDocs folder.

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 lose 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_init >/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.

devel-su
wget http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=VfxNtsYg -O /etc/init/apps/wazapp.conf && /sbin/reboot

Notifications Are Silent on Ringing Profile

As of 24/09/12, there is a bug in Wazapp whereby new messages only vibrate instead of ringing with the chat notification.

The developers are currently working to fix this. This section will be updated once the bug is fixed.

Wazapp Notifications Icon covers SMS Notification Icon

When you have an unread Wazapp message as well as an unread SMS, you might see only a Wazapp Notification Icon.

This is NOT a bug but a feature in Harmattan whereby SMS/IM/Wazapp are displayed by the latest Notification icon only!

Wazapp media is NOT found in Gallery

By default, all Wazapp media using Tarek's build is stored in /home/user/MyDocs/.wazapp/

Navigate to this location by using a file manager like Filebox to view the media.

In CepiPerez's build all Wazapp media are stored in /home/user/MyDocs/Wazapp/media and should appear in the Gallery

Last Seen Time for a Contact is Inaccurate

Error:

When Opening a Chat with a Contact, the last seen time is Inaccurate. Mostly, it is the time when you last sent a message to the contact.

Work-around:

Return to the Chat menu and Open the Chat with the Contact again. The Last Seen time will now be updated to be reflected accurately.

Red Dots Appear instead of Notification Icons

Error:

On the Low-Power Screen, Status Bar and Lockscreen instead of the green Wazapp Notification Icon, a Red Square/Box/Dot appears.

Solution:

Reboot your phone. Most probably you have done a fresh installation and have not rebooted your phone.

Pictures not Appearing for Selecting Profile Picture

Error:

When choosing a Profile Picture, the selection screen has an ever-spinning spinner.

Solution:

Quit Wazapp and re-start it. If it still isn't fixed, uninstall Wazapp from your system and delete all files in /opt/waxmppplugin/ before rebooting your device and re-installing the latest version of Wazapp

Changing language does not work

Error:

When changing the language and restarting Wazapp, the language is still english.

Solution: CepiPerez development builds do not include any language files other then English, even though languages will be visible in the settings menu. However... If you want to use a language other than English in "development" builds, follow these directions: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1277303#post1277303

Sending voice recordings does not work

Error:

When sending voice recordings nothing happens.

Solution: You need to receive a voice recording from your contact fist.

Conversation missing and need to re-register after swapped SIM card

Error:

After swapped sim card, Wazapp will ask user to re-register and previous conversation is missing.

Solution: This is expected and that is how it works in WhatsApp official client.
