Installing WhatsApp on Nexus 7 Wifi ( Jelly Bean Ver - 4.2.1 ) - Nexus 7 General

Hello I tried installing whatsapp but to no vail. Can someone guide the process as i tried all the bluestacks process..
Also i installed app guard and did try those stuff but when i launch whatsapp and go to call verification which is the last step.
It gives me an error " It looks like your client has been modifed. Kindly download the latest version from whatsapp.com/andriod."
So any tips would be welcome..

Hey davisac, i tried those steps. It didn't work.

I tried to install it myself but I only have a Mac right now and couldn't seem to get an .apk to install on Bluestacks.

I successfully got whatsapp working on my nexus by doing the following;
1 - Backed up whatsapp on my phone using titanium backup
2 - Copied the backup file from it's location on my phone (sdcard/TitaniumBackup) to it's corresponding location on the nexus
3 - Opened Titanium on the nexus and restored app DATA only using the restore feature.
4 - Ran Whatsapp with wifi on, it says it needs to verify your number. Input number, await txt on phone with a security code and input this into whatsapp on the tablet.
5 - Hey presto you now have free messaging over wifi
Requirements on both devices;
Whatsapp, Titanium Backup, File Explorer such as ES File Explorer.
Optional: I used airdroid to transfer the backup file between devices, this can be done via cables and laptop if you prefer
You can also use this method to restore data for saved games such as angry birds....

What whatsapp version do you use? I'm getting notice that mw whatsapp ver is older ver and need to be updated.
Exit: got it working now. Just send app and data manually. At first I sent it with tb option "send backup to" and not working.

Yeah I've always done a manual transfer of the backup file to the titanium folder and never had an issue, I didn't even notice there was a 'send backup to' option
When restoring I use the 'data only' option and never have any cross-version compatibility issues

[Q] Best way to back up apps/contacts?

So what's the best way to back up apps/contacts for the Note?
Thanks in advance, guys.
May I add a question regarding backup issue,
How to backup game score & level as well?
For contacts I personally use google to sync and for apps I use Titanium Backup Pro but for that you have to be rooted.

google for contacts
mybackup root for apps and data - but like titanium backup you need root, tehre are other options available for mybackup that dont need root in the market
Backup your contacts by going into your contacts app, click 'menu' and select export, then export to sd card. Backs up all your contacts

This is realy the best and fastest way and most save and how to root you can find it also here on XDA it's easy if you read carefully
Sync with google isnt fast.. Its instant.. You dont even have to think about it..
for the apps,i always use titanium backup!
in pro version you can also program a backup for new apps downloaded since the last backup and it's fully programmable (either days or hours of the day)

Hey!! a question, with titanium backup, the back up its saved in the SD Card right?? and can i copy wherever it backs up to a PC to have you now a Back up of a Back up ??
May be is a stupid question, i want havent buy it yet!! Thanks!!!
Short answer: Yes.
For backing ur apps u can use my phone explorer. It can backup everything on ur phone to pc includings messages, call logs, settings, apps, etc. For this to work u have to install my phone explorer in ur windows computer and my phone explorer phone client in ur phone available in android market. Then run both simultaneously and you can connect ur phone to pc either via bluetooth, wifi or usb. Also no need to root ur phone as well.

Not sure about that but there are a lot of third party apps for backing up the games data. But its your safest option without rooting.
copy files to your computer

Helium (formerly Carbon) - Backup/Restore

Hi folks,
I've done a fair bit of searching and although it has been briefly discussed before I can't see any recent mentions about Helium (aka Carbon) from clockworkmod (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup&hl=en).
The Google Play store page for the app mentions that the app doesn't work on the Xperia S and Z due to some changes Sony made, however when I first got my Xperia Z (at launch in the UK), I was able to backup app data (and some apks) from my Galaxy S3 and restore them onto the Xperia Z without any issues.
Given there have been a few software updates from Sony since launch, does anyone have any recent experience with Helium, specifically whether it works correctly to backup and restore to the Xperia Z? I couldn't find a suitable thread or forum to try to ask the developer directly what the specific issues were with the Xperia S and Z that led to the warning on the app page.
I had a problem restoring Apps with this app after full factory reset. It always crashed. Tried to restore from SD card and CLOUD. on my galaxy s3 it works fine. The build in sony's backup and restore app is doing great.

Thanks for the reply. What does the Sony app actually backup? Does it include some/all apks and the actual app data too (e.g game progress)?
Yes, it includ app+data, even clock alarms

So........
I decided to unlock and root my phone. So I did some backups with mybackup pro and decided to give a try to helium (because I never managed to restore the data of the apps with mybackup pro, just with root). I did the backup, saved it on the internal storage, copied it on my computer, unlocked my phone, rooted it, installed helium, copied the backup to the internal storage and... when i try to restore the backup from the internal storage it doesn't find it... I am now trying to reinstall it, don't give it su and see if I see the backup... if I don't see it... well.. idk what to say... I do a backup and then I cannot restore it? nice (sarcastic)

---------- Post added at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ----------
If you're still interested.. (if u want the app data. i.e : savegames) I found a way.. Just keep those backup files in your computer. And then download the apps you want to restore.. Then make backups of them again.. Then they will have those backup up files in the "Carbon" folder. Then copy the folders inside without the "nomedia" file. It then the app will show the backup & viola... Apps restored...

Is there something weird about the way messages are stored in general? Everything else seemed to work - the one thing I can't seem to figure out is how to restore text messages (com.android.providers.telephony.ab) - I've tried to do it as a whole app using the PC interface, tried copying the folder as a replacement via Android File Transfer to the 'carbon' folder, etc.
When I try to restore via helium server, it quickly shows me everything as restored but I don't see the messages. When I try to do it manually (e.g. force copy), I don't see an option under "Restore and Sync" to actually select messaging.
Am I missing something stupid / obvious? The raw data seems to be there (for example, call logs were uploaded just fine, text messages seem to have an issue).

So I came up with a solution based on what works for others. Why this works when it didn't previously is beyond me, but hopefully someone else can use it if individual parts of their Helium backup don't work properly (in theory it should work for any app / SQL dataset). The whole point of Helium is that we're running non-rooted phones and so Titanium Backup or the like aren't applicable. For reference, I'm running an N4 to OSX 10.7.x
1. Use the Helium Server to create a full backup.
2. Wipe phone or whatever you need to do (I had to do a factory reset for Google since it's an N4 and my proximity sensor is dead).
3. Install the apps you had previously via Play Store (pain in the a**).
4. Run Helium server and upload the backup data.
5. Update apps as needed (should be auto but who knows for individual stuff).
6. Check app data in apps. Texts are obviously easy to see for me. Hopefully everything restored nicely for you here.
***Now for the bit for people who got corrupted restores.
7. Unzip the backup file on your computer, select the .ab files that correspond to the missing / corrupted restores and then zip those into a new file on your computer (for step 9). Keep these files handy in unzipped form as well for step 10.
8. Perform a new Helium backup of those sections onto the internal SD card (yes it will be blank, worry not).
9. (Optional step): Run Helium server and upload that new zip file (with the stuff that didn't make it) alone. Try restore. Unlikely to work but worth a shot.
10. Running Android File Transfer, find the SD card, find the folder 'carbon' and then find the corresponding sub-folders that have the modules that were corrupted. Replace the SD card backups of the broken modules with the good ones from your computer.
11. Run Helium restore again, but only for the sections you want (I swear, for me Messaging didn't show up the first few times but after step 10 it did).
12. Wait, hoepfully it works well. I would reboot after running the restore to a) kill Helium and b) confirm functionality.
FWIW, my telephony.ab was 1.8MB and took SIX hours to restore. Seriously. Yeah yeah, that's a lot of texts but six hours? I've since added "SMS Backup & Restore" to my phone and will probably just use that, map out my phone layout and functionality and just manually replace apps from now on since most data is in the cloud. You lose some stuff, but prima facie it's boat tons easier.
Hopefully that helps someone else who had the same issues.

Somehow my phone got soft factory reset (lost all the apps but the files) when i tried to install the apps that I had before it throws a play store error while installing saying it couldnt be installed because of an unkown error "-24" plz helpp
Why are you mocking Koush? Yes the Koush. He made this app. He specifically said in the app description that:
Note: Helium is NOT available to Motorola devices. This is because Motorola phones have a bug that break Android's backup mechanism. Until this is fixed by Motorola, Helium will not work on those Androids. You can download Helium manually here:
http://download.clockworkmod.com/apks/Backup.apk
If you find that Helium *does* work on your Motorola Android, please notify me.
Note: Some Sony devices have issues with Helium. This includes the Xperia S and Xperia Z. Sony has *disabled* backup on these devices completely.

At most of the Tablets (without 3g) you''ll get the message "ablets are not supported at this time"so that's why i posted this here to go round the what's app compatiblility check
Other ways to get Whatsapp on your tablet.
You can go to Whatsapp's website and download the APK and send it to your tablet sim card via USB cable or put it in your Dropbox and install it from there.
Open the app and input your cell # or a Google Voice # and wait 5 mins till the app tells you it couldn't verify your phone automatically and then enter the code they sent you manually or have them call your phone to verify that way.

[nearSOLVED] Restoring WhatsApp chat history after installing Team Canjica's CM11 ROM

Hi
I've installed [Team Canjica] CM11 ROM yesterday, and it works very well.
However, after installing Whatsapp, Whatsapp displays a message about it being a custom ROM and therefore not fully supported.
It then attempts to restore the chat history and after some lengthy processing, says it couldn't restore the history.
Otherwise Whatsapp works normally and is able to send and receive messages.
I am very interested in restoring my chat history, and unsuccessfully tried the methods suggested on Whatsapp's support website, as well as by their support email.
Can anyone help me, please?

I am not 100% sure, but messages should be somewhere in Whatsapp folder on internal or external SD card. See if you did not delete it. You tried to restore them in the past on some other ROM?

Chat history files are indeed there on my storage on /Whatsapp/databases, and although whatsapp finds them and attempts restoring them, it repeatedly fails to restore them.
I have tried removing and re-installing whatsapp several times, even with older backup files too, unsuccessfully :crying:
Any suggestions?

Not sure. Try to transfer that folder to other storage (on external if it is on internal now). If that does not help try with other ROM and see what happens. I used CM11 and I have restored Whatsapp chats without problem as I remember.

[Partially SOLVED]: WhatsApp+ restored my chat history
Hi all.
I have installed WhatsApp+ (I am not sure but I think it is currently in Hebrew only).
It needs installing from the SD card, and is not available in PLAY store
WhatsApp+ restored my chat history.
Having my chat history "back" I removed WhatsApp+ and installed WhatsApp (original) again, but it again failed in restoring my chat history, so I re-installed WhatsApp+ and will use it for now.
If anyone needs help with the Hebrew on WhatsApp+'s site I will gladly help.
Good Luck!
Maybe there is an option in whatsapp+ to do a backup, and later to do manual restore in org app

You're right, there is - the same as in WhatsApp.
It produced the same failure to restore in WhatsApp, although whatsapp+ successfully restored.
Until I find another option to restore I'll stick with the WhatsApp+ for the time being.
Optionally I may send myself selected chats by mail, like in WhatsApp.
@ArcSer
Just keep Whatsapp+, no?
I use it too from the last year and it's way better than original one.
Inviato dal mio GT-I9505
@AntaresOne
Yes indeed. Seems just fine so far
whatsapp+

Pls help me to get that link. I have tried it from the link, its asking for th permission. So pls send the ling. thanks in advance
This thread is old, but my experience maybe can help someone
I had the same problem, because I swapped between LineageOS derivated ROMs for tests (but not on Galaxy S Advance I9070).
I backupped key file from /data/data/com.whatsapp/files and wa.db from /data/data/com.whatsapp/databases.
For the first test, I followed this advices from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/whatsapp-whatsapp-offer-backup-restore-t3342014:
Prerequisites:
1) Whatsapp Viewer (Links are forbidden for new users, you will find it at Github)
2) msgstore.db.cryptX from a backup (the "X" from msgstore.db.cryptX stays for the version of message database encryption)
3) key file from /data/data/com.whatsapp/files from a backup
4) Whatsapp must not have been started before
5) Phone number / SIM of backup and restore phone must be identical
6) Wifi connection for verification process
Procedure:
1) Install Whatsapp, but do not start it
2) Extract msgstore.db from msgstore.db.cryptX with the help of Whatsapp Viewer (the "X" from msgstore.db.cryptX stays for the version of message database encryption)
3) Copy msgstore.db to /storage/emulated/0/Whatsapp/Databases
4) Start Whatsapp and hit "Restore" when it's offered
5) Wait for "Initialisation" to finish. It took about 3 minutes in my case. So be patient.
6) Enter Name and assign a profile picture, hit next
7) Finish!
but nothing. I uninstalled Whatsapp.
For the second test, I installed Whatsapp again, left (only) msgstore.db in /storage/emulated/0/Whatsapp/Databases and copied key and wa.db files into their folders, overwriting the original files. Whatsapp crashed and I uninstalled Whatsapp again.
For a third test, I installed Whatsapp again (all untouched after second test), but maybe the key file automatic overwritten during the app initialization, because now Whatsapp working and it restored successfully chat history!!
After these tests, I think that the only files to leave/overwrite are: wa.db in /data/data/com.whatsapp/databases and maybe decrypted msgstore.db in /storage/emulated/0/Whatsapp/Databases (but I think that also encrypted one should work).
Hy,
Just want to give my impression about using Whatsapp+ or GB Whatsapp or other 3rd party Whatsapp App, dont forget that Whataspp can BAN your number if they find you're using any other program instead of the original APP, it happened to a friend of mine so be careful not to use those fancy things that the original App doesnt have, even more, we all still don't knowhow safe is our data while passing through this 3rd party Apps, they look good and have nice features but it may have a high cost.
