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

getting bored of waiting are reading unnecessary words each day here .... hope good news is on the way sooon :(:(:(

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

Actually, making that code a telepathy/pidgin plugin would let us use the maemo IM interface, instead of creating our own, which saves a looot of work, and allow tighter integration.
Aditionally, if it's a pidgin plugin, it can be re-used on pidgin on a desktop computer, so that's a very big plus!

I completely agree, that's one of the great points that generally favour the N900.

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

about that beta version screen capture - I put it on a twitter, that's the screenshot of my tweet... and I did put the link to TMO, and many more infos in the other tweets... round about time tgalal put it here... I did not have any intention to mislead anyone, just to inform people that the work is in progress, to stop signing petitions and so on...

and my apologies on this OT, but just wanted to be clear... if You want I can ask MeeGoExpert blogger to put capture of tgalal's post instead of my tweet, and to make link to TMO thread more obvious, but linking to this thread seems to do more harm then use...

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

so ?
any good news Mr. tgalal now that this week end is over ??

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

nothing yet ....

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

Sadly this is NOT going to happen.

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

and why are you sadly saying this?

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

@Hariainm be pacient. Tgalal doesn't work at nokia, so we can trust that he's working really hard for all of us.

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

It will happen. I believe

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

it says it has push, how does a server know where to push? does your phone line have an address? is it your number@att.net. if thats the case then your nunber is exposed regardless if you want push.

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

Whatsapp uses your mobile number as the contact address. If you don't want to expose your number to the world don't use whatsapp, simple as that.

It doesn't push through the phone line it pushes through the internet using wifi or 3G. Get it?

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

damn, maybe tgalal was abducted by probe testing aliens :eek: :confused:

I bet he is.. sigh. Why doesnt anyone read the tread? Or are you all just ignoring everyone who tells you NOT to post stupid questions and remarks about the development progress? YOU WILL KNOW WHEN ITS DONE! And in the meantime, be patient.
Thanks.

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

...because most of them are just playing out their 'greedy little b*s*****' side, as if they feel entitled to something?

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

Excellent, nice work

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

Wow, i was just addressing someone else's post. I get it.

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

In my opinion the app should integrate into the messaging system so that an additional icon on the home screen shouldn't be necessary.
And besides, the icon doesn't really look good to me. The shine and glow effect is something you'd expect from an iPhone app icon but the icons on N9 are much more simplified. No annoying effects, a background with a light gradient and simple (often solid-colored) glyph.

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

cool! I like it!!!

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

You are welcome ;)

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

Looks almost like my quick mock-up in illustrator ;)

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

Well you made me realize that mine was a bit off in proportions :o
Here are some samples that I think are easier on the eyes. ;)
Anyway, I hope the service gets integrated in the messaging app. :)

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

It's been a reaaaaally long time since I've participated in this thread (or the previous one).

I just read through about 25 pages of replies, and I'm still wondering:

Is there a source repository (like git or something) where development is going on? I'd pretty much like to participate on this, but there's no source anywhere, or any other information really on what's done and what's not.
Is there any progress on making this a telepathy plugin? A pidgin plugin? Or is this still is testing stage, and just a standalone console app?

Hope someone can point me in the right direction on this; I'd love to help around on this! :)

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

How about a lime one? :D

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

1. Glyph is misplaced.
2. Background color doesn't match official WhatsApp color.


Here is my final result. I created it according to the N9 Icon Design Guidelines. I used the official WhatsApp media images (the vector logo for the glyph) and used the same proportians and glyph positioning as the iPhone app icon. The background should match the color of the official logo fairly well. An exact match isn't possible because the WhatsApp logo has a different gradient style as the Nokia N9 Iconography specifies.

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

TGALAL any updates regarding this project?

Were are desperate for any info.....

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

Why do we want an exact match for Whatsapp official icon? There's no need.

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

it's perfect

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

Hey guys, here is quick progress update:

• Message delivery indicators - Almost
• Chat logging - Done
• Editing Status - Not yet
• Only 1 to 1 Conversations - Done
• Contacts sync - Done
• Integration with Accounts manager - Done
• Integration with Meego's notifications - Almost
• Running the app in background - Not yet

And adding to the done list too:

• Registration which is done too via native Accounts manager. It also automatically parses the received Whatsapp code so you wouldn't enter it manually.
• Contact is typing indicator
• Contact presence

I would greatly appreciate any advises concerning running the app in background. I'm looking for a behavior that would be pretty much similar to how original Whatsapp works (almost un-exitable). PS: I'm using python + PySide.

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

Oh and here is a Website for you ;)

Really thanks for the icons!

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

check Your mail, mate ;)

keep up the good work!

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

btw regarding app working in backgroud - I don't know if it could help, but take a look at the Battery Usage app, and WhozCalling app - they are some kind of almost-no-exit-working-in-the-background-apps. No source available for us, mortals, but with what You have in Your hands, they might be cooperative ;)

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

Firstly many thanks once again for all the great work tgalal and others are doing on this project!

I haven't kept up to date with this thread recently, but I noticed you're currently focusing on 1-to-1 conversations for the first release. Is there any word on adding the Group Chat feature at some point? Is it possible?

I've found that it is one of the best features of WhatsApp and would love for it to be added at some point - I currently run WhatsApp on an Android x86 installation on a PC and access it from my N900 through VNC. It's unwieldy... But it's functional (most of the time).

Keep up the great work and look forward to hearing more when it's ready! =)

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

I think that is better to use the push framework than running the app in the background. If you can't use the push framework think about a daemon that pulls the messages from Whatsapp in a interval of time.

What about integrating in telepathy?

Regards.

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

Using the PUSH API would be awesome, but requires some server side implementation.

If anyone is interested in some help with this, drop me a message here.
