It's tgalal we want to hear from, not you. Are you even involved in Whatsapp development? I think with the Harmattan world waiting eagerly for news you should keep quiet if you have nothing to say instead of this rude response.

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

Though I agree he did sound kind of rude, I will side with don_falcone. I am also very excited about this project's imminent release, but I don't flood threads with stupid requests and demands for updates. I hate it when people are impatient. People are doing this for free, and nobody is paying them. So, it's only expected of people to keep quiet and stop nagging. Worry about translation later. Let the devs push this out first. Don't expect the first release to be flawless. Give it time to evolve. Just my 2 cents.

Peace.

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

@samgan: I don't care if i sounded more rude than weeks of week witnessing hordes of demanding, whiny followers of proprietary messengers. It's like the fighter / PS2 kids in the emulation scene; and "it" can and has killed way too many (even large) projects...
I'm surely not contributing (YOU do, btw?), but i care if there's a chance interesting projects get flooded and probably killed in the long term due to surprise attention and the following exposure to whining demanders.

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

Sorry I'm not giving out any code until the first release. But as I mentioned it's very similar to FunXMPP in the java version.

I will see about that, meego and maemo are highest priority though

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

First of all I would like to thank everyone offering to translate. When I come to the point of adding translations I would definitely refer to these posts. And in addition to those translations offered, I would do Arabic translations myself :)

As for the current progress, I did say a usable version would be ready last week, but I never said it would be released :P Because a usable version does not necessarily pack essential features for a public release. For instance, I wouldn't release a usable version without message notifications :)

I understand many people are eagerly waiting for using whatsapp on their N9/N900 (including me), and I'm doing my best to deliver that project. But as many people realize here I'm only doing this in my free time; which unfortunately is not full time at the moment.

So, this is my aimed list of features for the first public release:

• Message delivery indicators
• Chat logging
• Editing Status
• Only 1 to 1 Conversations
• Contacts sync
• Integration with Accounts manager
• Integration with Meego's notifications
• Running the app in background

As for whether the project is going to be opensource or not. It is going to be opensource when the first release goes out, except for registration code.

So the big question: "When is this going to be". I'll see how the progress goes this weekend and will tell you on Monday.

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

Every time there must be ppl complaining. Devs please ignore them and do your best. We'll wait. :)

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

If we have main team of devs working on this will donating help the process? :P
Wouldn't be a bad anyway to set up a paypal for the devs working on this. Since this could be big.

Also I could help translating to Dutch.

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

Ask him/them, but this _could_ then be seen / felt as paid work too.

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

Should be considered as a donation for the hard work. Who should I contact?

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

Guys quit all the fighting and bickering its unnecessary!!!!!

Anywayz, A BIG THANK YOU to tgalal for all his work. We're waiting rather impatiently for the release but we trust that it will come!!!

Keep up the good work guyz!!!

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

I will be glad to donate also. The best way to say thank you and to encourage them for their hard work.

Also can help with 5 languages: Arabic, French, Italian, spanish and chinese. Obviously english is not needed...

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

really happy to read about the progress. Great work from all of u devs!

I could help with the German translation aswell, just PM me and I'll be glad to help anytime.

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

Hi TGalal

Am from Kuwait, and am actually also a Qt developer

I would like to congrats you on this and looking forward for something on my N950 ;p

Have a nice days
مع السلامة

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

Please note that there is support for a "received message" popup, but not an icon. This popup is turned off by default, however. You can find it by opening the Conversation App (not just an IM or SMS conversation), opening the app menu, going to Options or Settings (whichever is the translation, it's called 'instellingen' in Dutch) and turn the feature on.

This is a small argument for a telepathy plugin, but tgalal already mentioned his plans for that plugin if I'm not mistaken.

Tgalal, what language are you writing this app in? And I heard that the hashing of the password happens at the client side, that opens the door to user-chosen passwords? (just checking, there has been some mentioning of this). Did you take a look at code which implements a non simcard way? I'm not too fond of some company having my mobile phone number... There has been some mentioning about privacy issues regarding Whatsapp, especially regarding the sending of the entire contacts database. How will you cope with that?

I'm looking forward to the app, but looking even more forward to the telepathy plugin. I wish I could help :) Placing the code on some repository opens the door to help, but of course that leads to all kinds of unwanted side-effects (such as an other publishing the app and what not) so I respect and understand your decision.

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

Looking forward to the release. Keep up the good work. I can help with the Swedish translation if needed.

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

dont wait for another chat called BBM--make a wish*

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

Great project! I see there are already some volunteers, but I can help too with the italian translation.

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

Great work, guys!
Let me know when you need help with a german translation.

Edit: Oopsie, just read the dev is from germany himself :D Let me know when you need help in another way. And yes, I would donate / pay for the app!

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

please stop discussing translation -.-

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

wish tgalal would just surprise us with whatsapp today....

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

I have a feeling it's just around the corner.

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

So, a constructive idea: i'm willing to pay for this development, as it takes time, balls and hard work to achieve this.

@tgalal: do you approve of the idea of people donating for your work? If so, can you list your PayPal account, or setup a 'donate' button?

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

what's the status on whatsapp? can't believe it's really happening...major props to you guys! :)

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

This threads gone very quiet.... any news? even if it just a 'yeah i'm working on this bug' etc would be really good!

thanks!

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

...quiet Before The Storm ....

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

very much quiet....

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

Yeah, Real Quiet! Its Great that the bickering has stopped but what about the development info?!

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

it is to quite....

please give me your pay pal account. i want to give you something for your hard worke

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

Everybody's gone ga-ga over NITDroid Alpha release now. Some peace for tgalal to work.

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

Don't do that kind of comments, if you just keep asking once and again 'when?' 'how is it going?' you are not helping but you are pressing on and that could have negative consequences, I' sure tgalal will publish his advancements when he finish whatever he is doing now, so please be patient! On the other side, it would be good he published a Pay-Pal account or something like that, I agree.

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

where I could take a look on the sources?! I would try to help with the project... I studied java, c and c++ and I would like to understand something about programming for n900 and I'm interested in this job.

If you think I could help you PM me!

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

Did you guys read this news from the link about whatsapp...?

http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/1qFoA7...ing-next-week/


what does this mean?

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

wow. Is the news is reliable?

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

are you slow or something? have you not read this message thread? its talking about this XD

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

Lol! That writer is a bum. His article is misleading with no mention that it is tgalal's version from this community. His screenshot of the "Whatsapp beta" version is from this thread. He could have least linked here.

Commenter Marco sets the record straight :D

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

@pcybgmts: Now when i read the comment on the bottom of the article, it shows that they are talking about this article....when i first saw the article where was no mention about porting the app, neither were there comments.

So i am not slow, the person that wrote that article is slow.

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

Good that my comment has been seen ;)

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

where can i download the BETA? :)
