CM9 and whatsapp

I flashed cm9 n tried to install whatsapp. At the verification process I couldn't receive the code from whatsapp to verify.
Whatsapp recognised that I wasn't running official firmware.
I really like cm9 but I need whatsapp.
I've searched around but couldn't find an answer.
Any idea?

Seems as whatsapp is having (server) problems since a couple of days.
I also don´t get that verification sms on my Galaxy Nexus (Jelly Bean 4.1.1) nor on my old HTC Desire with CM7...i tried to contact the support some days ago but didn´t get an answer yet. I read about similar issues on german Android forums, there are some more people with verification problems.
Before that i was running whatsapp with several custom Roms without problems...so it shouldn´t be a problem running whatsapp with CM9 or any other custom Rom.
.

Alright I'll give it another try later on when I installed cm9 n tried whatsapp it failed to verify. After a while I installed stock firmware and whatsapp had no problem verifying.

Just to let you know I installed AniDroid 0.8 (Which I believe is based on CM9?) on to my Note last night... What's App activated fine for me and has been working fine all day today, no problems at all.

i installed cm9 yestrday
watsapp got activated like a charm
you can do onething
insert another sim card (card B)
then using card B,try to activate wtsapp,and enter the number of Card A only
watsapp will try 3-4 times and fail
then it will call you on you card A and let u knw the vrification code
enter it on on your phone
wats app will get activated with the phone code
cool..
wtsapp now activated for sim A with the help of sim B )
now just put in your sim A back into thrle phone

I've never had a problem reinstalling from Titanium. Also use this method to put Whatsapp on my sim free tablet.

I'm having the same verification problem since 10 days. Every time I try to install whatsapp, it tells me that the verification failed and that I have to wait for 2 days until I can give it another try.
As my last attempt was on Tuesday, I will try it again today!

install gb activate on that then go back on cm9 lol
especially if first time on phone and sim combo.

Finally decided to flash cm9 stable and installed whatsapp. Everything works fine.
I had titanium backup whatsapp if normal install method fails.
Thanks everyone for their help.
Greatly appreciated.

guys is there no fix or workaround for this?
using cm9 stable but it just wont verify

stable cm9 and whatsapp fresh install works without problem for me.
have u tried the titanium backup method? its where u backup whatsapp using tb from a working rom and install cm9 and use tb to restore the app back in.
other ppl in the thread also suggested the sim swapping method.
try them all.

Have you tried flashing a nandroid backup, one before any password was set.

Dont have one . Any other ideas?

Not sure but I believe if try to sign in half a dozen times or so it will allow to assign a new password.

But on another note IF YOU TOOK THE TIME TO SEARCH you would find that there are a couple of ways around the security features BUT you have to know how to use adb commands
Sent from my AOKP M6 TouchPad using TapaTalk 2

do a backup in cwm recovery backup. then do a cwm factory reset, then in the fresh new clean cm9 use an app that will allow you to extract apps and data from the recovery. i use the app manager that came with rom toolbox pro. but its a paid for app i dont know if the lite version has that feature. but if you dont have rom toolbox pro you should. the app manager will let you restore any app, app+data or just data from the apps in your cwm backup. problem solved.

this is something I wrote for the lock pattern, but it will apply to any other lock method

I currently have both these apps installed on my galaxy note 1 running blackstar V6.
Not sure if this will work on Non-Touchwiz ROMs
none of this is my work so give credit where its due.

this would be so awesome if it actually worked. I just tried on my TMO Note and no go. Could it be because I'm just rooted with 100% stock ROM?
Edit: Correction, gallery works fine, player does not. Not sure why. Any ideas?

You have to make sure you move the files and follow the directions on the thread. Then to test play a video with the default video player. There should be an icon on top right with a square within a square. Press that to get pop up player. It's NOT a widget. And must be on a touchwiz ROM. After u do the necessary steps be sure to reboot it should work

Ok I just tried this again, followed instructions to the T. I'm not exactly new to this, I've moved system apps before and whatnot. It is not working. I get black screen for a while followed by a " Unfortunately, Video Player has stopped." message.
As I said I pushed the new gallery and that works great. I am on 100% stock TW Tmo ROM, with root. Too bad, guys I'll just set Dice as my default player.

To install (You have to be root)
1. Use a program like es file explorer
2. Go to /system/app/ and rename videoplayer.apk to videoplayer.apk.bak (Just in case
3. Copy the downloaded videoplayer.apk to /system/app/
4. Change permissions to the same as videoplayer.apk.bak (rw-r--r--)
5. Reboot and enjoy.

This is exactly 100% to the T what I did. I'm even using ES File (I always have), and It will not work. Is your ROM deodexed? As I said mine is right out of the box with CWM flashed thru Odin and then Superuser flashed thru CWM.

Im using Blackstar V6

[Q][HELP]Playstore query

I've been trying to install Zynga poker from the playstore..
I'm unable to find it.
If i try opening it from google play link it says device is incompatible..if i use xposed hacks to override device check,it gives me an error "942"
However i can use it on my old lg P500 device,galaxy tab 3 ,micromax canvas 2 plus .
I dont seem to find a reason.
Apk's from elsewhere work,but i'm a bit reluctant since i have over 1 billion chips and dont wanna get ripped
Can someone check if they can install it ?
Here is the play link https://play.google.com/store/apps/...oogle&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=zynga+poker
Thanks in advance

Share the apk from any of the mentioned phones using es file explorer. Send it via Bluetooth and install it. Check if it works. Although it will not get updates but you will have the play store version.

use titanium backup to backup the game in one of your phones where the game is working and restore the game on your phone via titanium backup again

There are a lot of apps not compatible and unavailable through the playstore app.

If you mode the build.prop for n7100 it will allow you to download the app from the play store change ro.product.model=GT-N7000 to GT-N7100 and the same for ro.product.device after that save and exit then reboot the you will be able to download. I have tried and confirmed

Lol.
Its a kernel issue..infact it isnt an issue..its something that is stated by philz as a known matter and that is how stock kernel also behaves.
Only speedmod kernel doesnt have a similar problem.

these could be device as well as regional restrictions.. I cant find Google keyboard if I search directly on the PlayStore.

[Q] Helium Backup/Restore Question

I will be going from a rooted Galaxy 2 to a non-rooted Galaxy Note 3. In the past I've used Titanium but since I won't be able to root the Note 3 anytime soon I am looking at Helium. If I backup on a rooted phone will I be able to restore the app and it's data on a non-rooted phone? I couldn't find in the documentation where it addressed this. Creative Mobile Drag Racing and CSR Racing are the two of most concern to me.

How did you get the helium desktop to install? It tells me that I need dotnet 2 the link to download it takes me to dotnet 4 when I try to install it, it tells me it is already installed.
UPDATE: I got it working. Problem was the pc was 64bit Windows. Installed it and the drivers on my Windows tablet and it worked great.

For non-rooted devices you need to connect to PC and utilize a PC installed package as well while your device is connected USB to PC.
