Please type this into Terminal and tell me the results:

cd /usr/share/applications/
chmod 644 waxmppplugin.desktop
cd /home/user/
chmod 755 wazapp.sh
Then open up Wazapp icon on the desktop and tell me what happens, you have to wait a little while for it to start 5-15 seconds

If you recieve permission errors then try the commands that errored as a normal NON ROOT user.

Let's be clear on that I do not know anything about desktop file. All i assume is you have some script, so all you need to run it is:
chmod +x "/path/to/script.sh" && /path/to/./script.sh

The code can be input as non-root except the last line

INSTRUCTIONS!

Connect your N9 to your computer via USB and copy the waxmppplugin.desktop and wazapp.sh file onto your Device.

Now unplug the USB and open the Terminal, and type in the following. If any commands give a permissions error, try again as root.
Getting a "can't create" with the first command line. Running as root

Have to try as non-root, if it works keep going till you find a problem. After that try as root.

I wonder if it is possible to run the script using the default .desktop file?

In order to move a file to the /home/user/ you need to be NON-root, and to move it to the /usr/share/applications/ you need to be Root!

Hope that helps

That is the default .desktop file mate, I just edited it so that it opens the script and NOT wazapp directly

Thats why it has the same name and icon and everything else

Got it! Maybe you've already explained but I'm too lazy xD. Is it normal for the app to stop showing the splash screen when launched? Thanx!

Yes, this launches wazapp directly without the splashscreen.

Tbh the splashscreen stays on for too long sometimes and its not really a useful feature to me :P

@GOW424

Just a feedback:

I think most of the crashes on Wazapp that Im using is/was caused by switching of connections from Wifi to 3g and vice versa. Some of this crashes, the UI just hanged without any activity. I tried the script and experienced while it tried to reconnect the hanged Wazapp, it comes to a loop of 'connecting', 'online', 'offline'. Is there anyway to make the script to completely shutdown the app before restart and connect?

BTW, I'm using the dev version. I've able to avoid the hanged Wazapp crash by staying on 3g all the time and completely disabling Wifi connection for it.
