Hi, has anyone been able to install the whatsapp app on the nook? I'm using the CM7 rom and when I open the app it tells me "couldn't identify your phone" is there a fix for this?
I am also looking for a fix... +1
Whatsapp is working on my NC.
I have just installed Whatsapp on my NC and Whatsapp is working. I have a rooted HTC Desire running MIUI and a NC also running MIUI.
I have Whatsapp running on my HTC Desire.
This trick works for me.
Make a backup of Whatsapp from your phone with MIUI Backup. Backup of the System is not necessary and also the rest of the apps. You can find the backup on your phone's sd card in the folder MIUI-Backup-Allbackup- for example 2011-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx
Copy this folder 2011-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx to your NC's sd card into the folder MIUI-Backup-Allbackup
Then you have to restore Whatsapp on your NC. Go to MIUI backup, select the folder 2011-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx, select Whatsapp and click on Restore.
Start Whatsapp and voila .

I guess my first question would be WhatsApp Messenger or WhatsApp Wallpaper?
You might wanna try to use my IMEI generator and see if that makes a difference... wouldn't be the first app we came across that needed one of those
I just installed WhatsApp Messenger on my NC and it ran... it sent verification message to my cell number.

So,
now that the first usable ROMs for X8 pop up i am wondering: what is the easiest way to import all your settings to a new ROM?
i am thinking of Apps, App-Settings, Sync-Settings (gmail, Roadsync..), SMS, Mails etc etc...
Restoring/Setting this up manually after every installation of a new ROM takes some time.
What is your trick for the lazy people?
How much can be backed up with Titanium Backup? I'm still not sure about this.
What other Apps can you recommend?
update: found a solution at lifehacker today.
Non of them will work when going from ROM to ROM. When you go to a new ROM, you should backup the previous one so you can go back to the default when there is a problems with the Custom ROM.
Basically, you can't transfer apps or anything from one ROM to another. You will have to manually install them yourself, take a list of them and download/install again. I wish it could work but it cant ):
Too bad.
Ok, I cant backup apps this way.
Is there a way or script to automatically install apps (apks) from a folder on sdcard?
Maybe I could use AppBrain to sync apps.
But how about System Settings, Accounts...
Hm, actually come to think of it .. If your phone is rooted (obviously is lol) you can go to Root Explorer or any root application manager, go to System>App and if you can transfer them to your SD card, I use Root Explorer, just select all and zip them, then transfer to SD card .. All the .apk's will be in the zip file. I suppose just install one by one
As for system settings, accounts etc. those can't be backed up .. You'll just have to be updated manually :L Don't be lazy haha
just found this tip from lifehacker using titanium backup. looks pretty convinient.
if someone tries this, please report if you have success.

Use this, for me it's the best way.
Titanium backup can store all your current apps and data settings for theseapps, too.
After flashing your new ROM, install Titanium backup and restore your backuped apps. Works fine.
What you need:
Android Phone with working WhatsApp and/or Viber
Titanium Backup on both your phone and your Iconia Tab
Astro or any other file explorer
What you do:
1.) Make a backup of a working version of Whatsapp and/or Viber
2.) Use the file explorer to copy the three backup files from Viber and/or Whatsapp from the Titanium Backup directory to your PC or to your dropbox.
3.) Copy the files from PC/dropbox to your Titanium Backup folder on Iconia Tab internal SD-Card
4.) Restore the backup with Titanium Backup.
5.) Enjoy your working Viber/Whatsapp
what if you dont have an android phone. i only have a hp touchpad. can anyone upload the files?
Yes, I have an Archos32 Internet Tablet, with Android ofcourse, and it only has WiFi.. So I've rooted my device now and installed Titanium Backup, but I dont have an Android phone. So could someone please upload those 3 com.whatsapp files?
Thx
I assume no one can upload their files, since it will be tied to their phone number... meaning all of their messages will appear to anyone using those backup files.
will this work on my wifi only A500 tablet?
Sent from my A500 using xda premium
Cool thanks=) It works on my A500 with Thor ICS v96.
If you don't have an Android phone, you can download YouWave Android emulator and install Whatsapp onto that.

Wouldn't it be easier to just download the app ,and install it from a root device via file manager?

it will install but you can't activate it without a number tied to your system (maybe that's why it worked for you,since you have a 501 with a sim)

So if I have a Iphone4 JB and a Iconia A500, there's no Chance?
Does anybody know whether the settingfiles are the same on iOS and Android?
Edith says:
After trying YouWave and getting furious about a crashing TitaniumBackup, I installed Android SDK...
With a little help from ADB I got What'sApp finally Working on my A500 ICS v134.
But WA doesn't want me to use the same Phonenumber as on the iPhone = / so I had to use a prepaid Number - which is quite annoying as the sense of WA on the Iconia AND the iPhone is lost D:
I know this is an old dead thread but I would like to share something.
We have whatsapp working with 2 different numbers on our devices. What we can do so that messages end up on both is to add groups to your chats and add both devices to the groups. This way messages will appear on both devices no matter what. I know, not the most glamorous but its the best we can do until whatsapp starts supporting tablets and multiple devices.
Just dropped by this worked perfectly for me on ICS a couple weeks ago (on multiple ROMs) but for some reason it didnt work last year on HC..maybe i was doing something wrong? I'm not quite sure but it works now
I dont have an android phone and I need to get this working in a hurry

Hello,
I have multiple versions of Android on my SD card. I want to get the SMS messages from one of these builds and put them on another one. How do I do that? I cannot find where the SMS messages are stored. Are they stored in the data.ext file? If so, how do I get them off?
Also, is there a way to sync up apps to my Google account? Whenever I get a new build, I have to install all of my apps again. It would be nice if there was one step I could follow to get all of the apps back.

Okay, as to where the texts are stored isn't as easy as just tranfering files is it an option to boot into old build again and use an app from the market to back them up and then restore them on the new build or possibly ( a stretch) back them up to the sim card? As for the apps when I log into the market the first time my apps are always automatically restored ..... If that's not the case then download titanium backup and back them up and then restore the APPS ONLY NOT THE DATA OR YOU WILL EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS ........... hope this helps my friend
Hi,
I can't perform a Whatsapp backup since January this year, regardless if Google Drive Backup is checked, if the Whatsapp app is stored in the local or on sd card memory, automatic backups are being cancelled, too.
After I hit "Backup", the Dialogue "Messages are being backed up" shows up, which closes after 10 sec without any error message.
I tried to contact the WA Support, but they insist that my S4 is rooted (which it isn't, maybe because of the custom ROM I use).
I have flashed my Samsung I9505 in January this year from CM 12.1 to CM 13. At the beginning, the phone ran smoothless except BT. After a while, WiFi stopped working as well. I tried to flash the CM 12.1 backup and radios without any success, just a new mainboard helped. I installed my CM 12.1 backup from January via TWRP from my old mainboard, which ran without any errors on it (after a fullwipe on the new one).
The phone works great, except the WA backup.
WA gets always updated to the current version, I have ~1,2 GB free internal memory, I tried to update to the latest CM 12.1 5.1.1 version from 12/26/2015, perform a backup via 4G, 3G, Wifi, with an without Google Backup checked, cleared the cache and wiped Dalvic Cache, there is no app deactivated.
I use Baseband I9505XXUHOD7 and Kernel: 3.4.107-cyanogenmod-gab9afd6clyde.
Running a custom ROM means you are rooted.
Now, I don't know why whatsapp wouldn't work on a rooted ROM, but if you want to backup you can use titanium backup.

There is no root, please check the screenshot below.
Since there is no root, I can't use Titanium Backup, however, it wouldn't be the most practicable way to backup your Whatsapp history every time with Titanium Backup.
Besides that, I don't think this would work if I would like to transfer my history to a new phone on which WA Backup should work as intended as I won't flash the ROM/install root and void the warranty.
WA backup worked perfect with the old logicboard before flashing CM 13.

Root has to be activated from developer options.
That is definitely a whatsapp problem if it worked before.

Well, I haven't even unlocked the developer options until now..
Any idea how to convince WA doing it's job? Anybody with this problem before?
if you really want a backup it makes more sense that you either activate root or flash superSU yourself rather than wait on whatsapp to change their code just for you. they've already told you effectively that they aren't going to do anything for you and don't have to.
backing up the app and data with TiBu and copying the whatsapp folder achieves everything you want and has worked flawlessly for me many many times.
Well guys, got a new phone but the problem persists when trying to restore my history on the new phone and really need your help.
Got root on the old phone and saved the com.whatsapp folder of it with the key file and databases. How can I encrypt the msgstore.db to msgstore.db.crypt8?
I have tried the app Whatcrypt, which creates a msgstore.db.crypt file, as large as msgstore.db, but Whatsapp on the new phone does not recognize it as a backup file.
When using whatcrypt.com and uploading the key and msgstore.db, it tells me "Encryption failed / Incorrect account?"
Also tried Omni-Crypt app. It creates msgstore.crypt, which Whatsapp ignores as well ("searching for Backups" with waiting triangle for hours)
I don't know any other way and I'm literally stuck now
when i mentioned copying the apps folder i was thinking of the one on the root of your internal storage, not the one in Android/data/...
you can paste that onto a new phone and restore the app and data with titanium.

Of course I can copy the Whatsapp folder on the root of the storage but this folder only contains the wa media files of my old phone since there are no msgstore.db.cryptX files created by Whatsapp.
For TiBa I would need to root the new phone which is a S7 Edge and I would like to avoid this until the warranty has expired. It is not as easy to do repairs by yourself as the S4..
fair enough, have you tried copying both folders over and installing from playstore ? or rather, install the app but don't open it, copy over both folders and then try and see what happens...

I had the same problem but with different rom. It fixed itself up after I cleaned phone with SD Mail Pro. Just a food for thought.
sd maid pro doesnt fix it

did you try to wipe *everything* related to you old WhatsApp installation?
Move backup to secure location. (I didn't have backup in the cloud) Go to settings - apps - whatsapp - delete cache- delete data - uninstall - delete whatsapp folder.
I also ran SD Maid Pro to clean my phone up. My SD Maid has a lot of permissions. (Settings - corpse finder - almost all categories are checked). Also you could go to TWRP and clear cache there.
After you are sure that all WhatsApp leftovers are gone, install Whatsapp again. Move backup to its folder and run the app.
It should work. I hope. Worked for me with similar issue.
If that doesn't do the trick, I'm out of ideas.
