[Technical Discussion] Porting WhatsApp to the N900
I figured if I created a thread about porting WhatsApp to the N900, and what I've discovered so far, others could share their knowledge or decided to take a look.
I'm studying for an exam that's in a week or so, but I fired up WireShark, got my trusty Nokia E66 connected to WiFi (with no SIM card, to force WhatsApp to use WiFi) and started logging packets. Lo and behold, what I got in return cheered me up. It appeared to be nothing other than bog standard XMPP! Maybe, just maybe, it won't be too much trouble to port it over. They might have some proprietary extensions to lock other clients out, but I can't really recall. As I said, exam > WhatsApp ;) |

Re: [Technical Discussion] Porting WhatsApp to the N900
Isn't WhatsApp a property software, e.g not open source? Wouldn't converting it without the authorization of the WhatsApp team be infringement of rights?

Re: [Technical Discussion] Porting WhatsApp to the N900
I was wondering if Symbian 3 has whatsapp it mostlikely was built in Qt, and if that is true cant we port it to n900 if the source could be available?
i know its propetery, but some reverse engeenering might help the process just sating http://www.whatsapp.com/nokia/ |

What "domain" does it use for Jabber IDs (e.g., if you have a WhatsApp account, what Jabber ID would you use in a standard Jabber client to access the account)? How does the application register accounts? By the Jabber registration feature? Quote:
It may help in writing a telepathy plugin to make the protocol accessible to the conversations app on N900 (and other apps on other platforms). But, if the protocol is actually XMPP, then there's no need for a separate plugin, if we have the details I asked for above. Of course, it seems WhatsApp isn't interested in XMPP inter-operation, or they would have made these details available on their website. |
Re: [Technical Discussion] Porting WhatsApp to the N900

Hey guys.
Please check my thread that I just created, it relates to this but to save me reposting the same thing here is the link :) Qt version of PingChat! Thanks |
Re: [Technical Discussion] Porting WhatsApp to the N900
as i understand it uses something like areacodephonenumber@s.whatsapp.net
e.g. 9725454545454@s.whatsapp.net where 972 is israel code and 54545454 is number (it deletes 0 in the begining) |

Re: [Technical Discussion] Porting WhatsApp to the N900
@teamer
IF it's just XMPP, you don't need to program anything: maemo already has XMPP. All you'd need is the username, and the password. @didik.wahyono I didn't find a link to the jar file at the whatsapp website. Can you send me the link? In any case, I'm a developer, and I can give you a hand if you like - though I've never done anything for telepathy. As a side note: why do you want whatsapp? There's plenty of IM protocols which are pretty open, free, and already supported. Why would you want a closed one, closed-source, and even pay-for one? |
Re: [Technical Discussion] Porting WhatsApp to the N900
