This. Ideally if this gets rewritten as a Synergy plugin...

Here's an old article for an idea: Implementing Whatsapp on webOS phones « Technology Matters

But as-is it's already damn impressive.

Any ideas?

Wait 160 minutes (yes, seriously). This happens when you recently just hit SMS and they sent you one, and it was authenticated.

Seems you need two versions (an ARMv6 and ARMv7 build). You could pack it in one ipk like described here.

EDIT: Thanks for the app amoralico :-)

How did some of you get it working on both phone and tablet?

When I log on at one place, the other always gets kicked out and requires re-verification.

I did register both devices, instead of just logging in with the same credentials on the 2nd device.

===========================
MojoWhatsup is an IM application for Webos that allows you to chat with your Whatsapp friends

MojoWhatsup has been developed as a Webos hybrid app, i.e. a javascript webos app (based in Mojo framework) and a plugin (mojowhatsup_service_plugin) in C++. The plugin implements almost all Whatsapp communication API.

I've tested this app in my HP Veer and my Touchpad. I've also tested it in Pre 2, and Pre 3 emulators. It works for me but surely there will be bugs that I have not detected.
Please test it on your own and if you find any troubles contact me.

INCLUDED FEATURES
------------------
- SMS registration.
- Group and person chats.
- Notification preferences (sound, vibration, banner, etc).
- Emojis (thanks to tgalal, wazapp)
- Sending and receiving media files (images, videso, audio, contacts, location).
- Group creation (adding/removing contacts, change subject)

NOT INCLUDED FEATURES
----------------------
- Set personal status.
- Seeing contacts status. (Sync contacts is not supported). Contacts are retreived from device contact databse.
- Set group image.
- Favorite contacts.


DOWNLOAD LINK
--------------
https://github.com/downloads/amorali..._1.0.0_all.ipk

INSTALLATION AND EXECUTION NOTES:
-----------------------------------
- Download above .ipk file. Install it in your device using Preware, Internalz or WebOSQuickInstall.
- Maybe the first time you launch the app you will see an empty card. In this case relaunch application.
- Due to the fact that is an hybrid app, the plugin has to be associated to a webos 'stage'. So, the only way to run it in background is minimizing as a dashboard stage.
- Another problem I found is that webos blocks socket connections when device goes slepp after a few minutes. So, you cannot receive or send messages after wake up. To only way to keep awake device all the time is to use Power Manager service, but it really drains battery life. For this reason I added in preferences the possibility of choosing reconnection intervals when app is in backgroud (dashboard).

ACKNOWLEDEMENTS
-----------------
I have been able to develop this application thanks to all Internet users who have previously spent their time selflessly to bring this application to unsupported devices.
Thanks to Tarek Galal (tgalal) for "wazzapp", the whatsup client for Maemo devices.
Thanks to "virox" from the webos nations forums for the application icon.
Thanks also to the members of webosnations forums, in particular the "Whatsapp for Webos" thread.
Thanks to "Eric Blade" (eblade), because surely the version he is developing will be much more suitable for webos devices than mine. I'm looking out a version that integrates with Synergy.
In general thanks to whole internet community for their posts regarding this issue that have helped me a lot.
And finally thanks to Palm and HP to develop the Webos operating system that has surprised me so much.

Enjoy it ;-)

P.D. Sorry for my english.

My dear friend, thank you for this great work but I have a problem with it.
I did install it on my pixi plus with webos 1.4.5 but it does't work... :-(
It, installs but when I run it I only see a white screen... :-(
i did try to launch it again but nothing... I did try to turn off and on again the phone but always a white screen when I open it. WhY?
is there something that I have to install to make it work? a patch or similar?
Someone said (but I don't know if it's true) that the problem is that mojowhatsup is written with armv7 but pixi plus needs armv6. is this true? is there something I can do to make it work?
Please help me.
Thank you all.

My dear friend, can you explain me how to install the £fat packaging" on my pixi plus? I have the same problem... But in the discussion you link it doesn't explain "how" install and use that packaging...
Thank you for help :-)

You probably can compile it by your own and change the switches in Makefile
From

-mcpu=cortex-a8 -mfpu=neon

to

-mcpu=arm1136jf-s -mfpu=vfp

My dear friend, thank you a lot for your help. Can you please explain better? Where do i have to go to change that writing? In the original ipk?
And how to open it?
Thank you, I'm not so good in programming... :-)

You need to install the PDK (Developer Kit) from HP, then git and some more stuff.
I recommend you wait for some dev to do it.
The makefile is located here.

Thank you a lot. But I still need help. I'd need a guide "step-to-step" to do it... otherwise I'll ask to any friend to help me...
I really don't know how to use PDK or the makefile... :-(

[qdzine]

Works great on my Pre 3 texting to Mexico.
Had to edit my contacts mobile number in my google account like so +52 1XXX-XXX-XXXX exit the app, logged back in and the number appeared. So happy for this app. Thank you so much. will be donating as soon as i am able too!

[Loiter]

Stupid question. Is there any way you can stop it running on your screen?
If I swipe off the dashboard thing, the app launches into a card. If I throw the card away then again the dashboard comes on. Am I missing something?
Also I don't think the light bar is turning on in my case. Anyone else?

I'm sure you will not find anyone here who can explain it step by step. It also will not belong into this thread. Sorry.
But what I have read from Palm:

To compile for both the Pre/Veer and Pixi, use the Pixi compiler options. You only need to compile specifically for the Pre/Veer if you need to boost your app's performance for those devices.

From: https://developer.palm.com/content/a...he-device.html
So if amoralico change it, it should run on all devices.

I really thank you my friend. So i hope that amoralico can do this and reupload the ipk for all devices. I'm sure that many will appreciate it and will sure donate for his work (me for first)... Please amoralico, can you do it?
Thank you!!! :-D

[amoralico]

I've uploaded a Pixi version. I've uploaded it in a separete file because I don't knoew if it will work.
Please, Pixi users, try it and tell me if it works. If it dows I will consider updating the ipk for all devices.
