Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

This is... Yeah well... A thread turned into people whining about other people whining.

Whining is whining no matter the reason for it and why the hostile energy, you must've something better to do than work up agro/hate against someone in a mobile forum. Go outside, sniff the air, get some sun, maybe live a little :p

i still believe tgalal will come up with a surprise, hopefully a positive one :-)

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

i think its a fraud, i recommend everyone here not to donate unless something is presented (at least a video of him using it)

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

Guys will you leave this thread alone. There are two possible ways these can go,

1 The dude is actually working on this and we're just pissing him off.

2 He's trolling and he's loving debates going on here.

Either way the thread should be left alone.

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

I can't belive how you people whine! I mean, so many people whining because people whine! It's so out of place, this isn't a thread to whine about whiners, it's a development thread. :)

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

Patience is needed by all. If he delivers, it will come when he thinks it's finished enough to be shown to all.

If he doesn't, hell... I'll donate since he endeavored something that is a pretty daunting task that none of us (myself included) hadn't attempted prior.

My hat is off to him, release or no release. If anybody can assist him, I'm sure they're in contact with him or they should be if there's anything he still needs. Think community, less whining folks.

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

okay, retreat all the negativity that came to put in this thread .. but please show us a Avanze TGALAL to know that you have not abandoned

WhatsApp in N9
 

THIS IS FAKE,

Guys, I'm from Argentina. I'm doing the WhatsApp for N9.

I will share this to you FREE, I don't demand any money.

because LINUX is FREE FOR EVERY ONE.

TGALAL if you rally work in this, don't ask any money and put your codes.

Sorry for my bad english.

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

Dear friends,

@zbuden I think that all N9 members will be appreciate to use Whats App in finally ,we hope to see it sooner !!!

@tgalal After I see your post for porting Whats App ,I really hope to use this app same as other N9 users but the truth that I saw from your post it's only details for functions & mention only donation ( it's no any beta app or something to prove yourself more thans words ...),so it's very hard to believe this porting app under processing......

In case,if I was wrong,please prove yourself with Whats App and please don't Play Dramatic Role like Actor in Movie...just prove yourself that I was wrong........

*** To all members**** I wanna see porting Whats App like all of you & I am very sorry again for posting this !!!

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

To everyone here whining and telling they won't donate unless they see a demo or something like that:
Just for the record, if you read this thread since it started, tgalal never asked for money, we all know he's doing this alone in his free time, it was only after some people asked him for a donate button to show him some appreciation that he did it.
Don't donate if you don't believe him!! Just stop this debate here and let him do his job quietly!

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

I have 1 question :) If he ( tgalal ) really working on porting WhatsApp to N900 how he will hack there 1 Year Free use and then we must pay to use WhatsApp... haha

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

once you have it working your number will be automaticly registered for a free use up to 1 year then you can go and purchase additional time from any internet browser using your cc..not that big of a deal...

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

Ok cry alone, tgalal is not doing whatsapp porting, this is fake. is only to extract money.

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

its always better if we can get official version, do petition or whatever, rather than this bull*****, btw i dont need wazzap, :D

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

Esto es un fiasco, y tgalal porque no da la cara ? No se dan cuenta que esto es todo mentira ? Saludos desde ARGENTINA

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

Time to report it to police, it is scam! Where are you tagal?

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

Es cualquiera el flaco desaparecio, dejando la pagina pidiendo guita, un desastre, no merece estar en esta comunidad.

NO DONEN NADA!, Don't donate any money!!!

TGALAL IS A FRAUD, AND HE IS WON MONEY FOR THIS?
OHH BITE ME!

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

Just install Nitdroid and put Viber and Whatsapp :)

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

Viber will work really well without microphone ...

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

Seriously people, get a life!!!
I suggest someone to delete this whole thread already! :)

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

this thread show us what some people made of

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

Whineception? :p

But I agree with you:

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

I agree with all the "he do this for free and in his free time" and all of that.

But he has create an expectation and all what this people want is a simple report if he has abandoned or the thing is going on, nothing more nothing less, i think is a legitimate request for the expectation he has created in hundred maybe thousands of people, only a simple report of the status of the project.

He will take like 5 seconds to post "don´t worry people the thing is going on" or "sorry but i have abandoned the project"

And two weeks since his last post....mmmmm unless he get lost in the jungle without internet or something like that, something is smelling very bad here...be prepare for very bad news guys or not news at all

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

I really think people shuld think twice when bying a phone. If whatsapp is that important to them why go for an N9 with an OS dicontinued by Nokia, this really wont give any mass market apps this way. You knew what bought, who in there right mind would start out deving for a platform if they couldn't see profit in the end and here i'm talking about big/small companies not the devs here on tmo.
Talgal doesn't owe anybody anything, people donated of there own free will and if he can't do it in the end for one or the other reason, that is totally legit.
Further more if he's doing this for the money it's really a bad scam for small change, imo i don't think it would be worth it.
I see a lot of reasons why he hasn't replied here in two weeks and it's not about all of the accusations or demands it could be he's in a personal crysis of some sort. He could be trolling, but that doesn't affect the choise you made when buying this phone, you knew it would come short of apps and I think it's some of the reason why some people are getting frustrated over this.

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

Ayyyy Ayyy, We not asking for freebies here, we'll pay if required.... Surely there's enough N9s for Whatsapp to profit from.... What do they have to lose?

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

Hey guyz,

I tweeted @tgalal and asked about the development progress of whatsapp and the possible date of a release and I got no reply. You guys could try tweeting him, his username is @tgalal.

Its starting to seem like a hoax, in part due to the fact that he said it will have been released on several occasions to no avail.

Oh, and to all those who are complaining for whatever reason (yes, even those who are complaining about people complaining!!) I thinks its safe to note that this is not a development thread, as was initially planned, the fact that tgalal wont share code or accept help from anyone has long since established this as a non-dev thread. #JustSaying

Status?
 

Are there any news of the current progress of the community Whatsapp project?
This thread got somehow weired, lots of scam and misleading comments here but no more words of the current work beeing done.
Is the source applicable from anywhere, or is there a beta/testing release applicable finally?
Thanks in advance!

Re: WhatsApp in N9
 

Perhaps you can start a thread, if you are in fact working on this. The community will certainly support!!!

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

Now, that is a good example of a really really nice IM app using encryption by default.

I used this program a lot around the end of the ninetees and thought that development had stopped. I had contact with the developer (from Paraguay I believe) once, about a proposed linux port and never heard of it again. But sonork was/is a wonderfull program and a delight to use!

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

i am sure there are many talented programmers in this community that can start another new project to port whatsapp, tgallal is new to this forum?

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

I am sure many developers can port whatsapp with a couple of weeks of reverse engineering

I am not too sure you will find many developers willing to port whatsapp in a community like this ;) simply because whatsapp is not so important if you can IM in other ways, developers do not need a closed pay-for-use protocol in such a platform :)

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

I will disagree with you on this. Whatsapp is not the best IM app out there but it has achieved such popularity that it has become the de facto IM app for many users across platforms. There are hordes of N9 users wanting Whatsapp and is is the most asked for app in any forum.

However the way Whatsapp is being developed for N9 is not very encouraging. It is being developed behind closed doors by one person who disappears for long periods and refuses to share code or accept any help. There is no regular updates on project status. Yes, it may very well be a hoax.

Contrast this with the way NitDroid for N9 is being developed. There is one major mover but he is assisted by community effort. There were regular updates on its progress, even videos. Alpha versions have been released to show that this is not vapourware.

As for those who jump on others asking for project status don't be an idiot. The whole thing already smells bad so don't keep defending what you don't even know. Tgalal has created high expectations so it is perfectly reasonable for people to ask. The fact that he is doing it one his own time is no reason to keep everybody in the dark.

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

The problem is, open source developers and close-propietary alternatives to IM that you need to pay for just don't get alone well.

An open source developers cares about things (like openness) that whatsapp stands against (using a closed centralized protocol, etc). So it's not easy to get one that cares enough so as to develop a client, while he know there are things that are better (from his perspective).

Also, you'd me suprised how few developers/geeks use whatsapp. I'm a software developer, and most of my friends are either computer geeks or developers as well. None of them use whatsapp, while it's immensly popular amogst "Average Joe", just like WLM is pretty popular amogst teens.

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

send it from my n9, no wazzap, and hell yeah i still enjoying my n9, many option to chat, wazzap isnt everything, wakeup wakeup, :D

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

ebuddyxms on n9 is buggy?
skype, msn, yahoo, gtalk does not support push notifications?

people use whatsapp to replace normal sms as much as they could.

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)

Hi tgalal, maybe this app can help in a way for having multi user chat capabilities for the whatsapp porting for n9.

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

@youmeego you definatelly haven' set your phone right, i have push from facebook,gtallk and skype,just go setting and enable push.
I agree with most of the users here,whatsapp is not really that important,i could care less if gets made or not,there are so many better alternatives.
Most important thing: If whatsapp development team did not bother to make an app for us the means they give a ***** about theyr users. It's not just about us meego users keeping in touch with android,ios,symbian users,it's about all getting in touch which for me this a total disrespect for all users not just us meego. That what means to be cross platform,but aparently it is not! I for one I can really live without this app,i can use gtalk and send a picture or video throught e-mail if needed.
Though if taglal takes it's time to make it,then my respect for it's work.

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

No, really he doesn't now what "push" is. All Instant Messengers work by push, msn, facebook-chat, gtalk, whatsapp, skype, icq, aim... ALL.

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

I fully agree on your opinion on development of whatsapp for N9 but I still consider facebook and emails as my most used protocol, all my friends use fb, but I am sure this is not the case of all N9 users but then again... If IMing friends on blackberries is your priority do not buy a phone that cannot do that :D

Re: [WIP] Porting Whatsapp to Meego/Maemo (N9, N900)
 

I thought whatsapp was using xmmp but with a quite closed and proprietary auth-mechanism?
Is it really that hard to reverse engineer that?
However, Ithink it's worth the efforts since this would also allow to log into whatsapp from any desktop computer as well, which would indeed be pretty cool...
