Ok, I keep get this annoying message every time.

I followed the steps, and when I perss on the "Call me" botton I get a message that the version is too old.

Alright, I updated it to the newest (downloaded from their website, after I've seen that ppl here said that it's ok and working).

Then. when I press on the "Call me" botton, it always give me the message "It looks like you client has been modified. Please download the latest version from our website." - althrough it is the newest and I've downloaded it from their website indeed!

It also mean that somehow it detects that appguard had modified it although it should"t and I see that it didn't detected it on your mobile... :/

Please help me, I dunno what to do...

There isn't such a directory :(
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NLBeev:
Re: [HOWTO] Install Whatsapp working On Nexus 7! [1/03/13]

The directory data\data\com.whatsapp is only visible on devices with root access.

When WA shows error messages, i cleared the data and cache (settings). After that I discovered that not everything is cleared.

After clearing WA-data the mentioned directory still exists. Including a subdir called lib.

A complete uninstall of WA is needed, especially on devices without root access.

Re: [HOWTO] Install Whatsapp working On Nexus 7! [1/03/13]

Using the same number without problems the resend the code to the phone and I added it to the tablet. Just not using the app on the phone
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NLBeev:
That message appears when there is a directory \data\data\com.whatsapp on de tablet. To avoid other error messages you need Appguard.

In that case you need to uninstall Whatsapp and power off the tablet. After that you can try it again but you need the following on the tablet - sd-card or internal memory.

1. A copy of Whatsapp.apk (so not installed);

2. Appguard already installed;

3. A recent copy of the complete directory Whatsapp from a smartphone/tablet with a working Whatsapp

Then install Whatsapp do not start, but secure it with Appguard.

Make sure "read phone status and identity" is unchecked in Appguard.

Now start Whatsapp and follow the menu/instructions.

When Whatsapp shows a screen that there is a backup found, you are lucky.

So on a Wifi only - tablet you always need Appguard and a backup copy of the directory Whatsapp from an other device.

In this thread I read methods with the use of Carbon or Titaniumbackup.

The methods also needs a backup from a working Whatsapp on another device/smartphone.

In all cases start with an uninstall of Whatsapp and power off of the tablet.

When Whatsapp was already installed and secured by Appguard, make sure that you unsecure Whatsapp first before uninstalling it.

Re: [HOWTO] Install Whatsapp working On Nexus 7! [1/03/13]

Not on my WiFi only tablet I don't. I've installed whatsapp at least ten times when I've installed new ROMs just by making a titanium backup of my working whatsapp+ installed on my phone, uploading it to dropbox, then downloading it onto my tablet and installing the backup. Boots right into my chat list every time. I've never understood why people seem to have such problems getting it to work. :what:

Re: [HOWTO] Install Whatsapp working On Nexus 7! [1/03/13]

The Titaniumbackup method is known. That methode needs also copies of existing data.

Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] knuckles1978:
Re: [HOWTO] Install Whatsapp working On Nexus 7! [1/03/13]

The copies of existing data are in the titanium backup, which is taken from the phone. No need for appguard, bluestacks, or anything like that.

All you have to do is restore a working backup from the phone, onto the tablet, it's not rocket science.

Why there are multiple threads, hundreds of posts long each, is very strange. Is it only people who don't have an android phone who should be having this problem? Because I have seen many people posting with these 'issues' who have android phones. I don't get it.

I just keep a working titanium backup of the latest version of whatsapp plus in my dropbox, and when i fully wipe my n7 and change ROM, i just import and restore it and it works, just like that.

Re: [HOWTO] Install Whatsapp working On Nexus 7! [1/03/13]

I installed whatsapp and viber on Nexus 7.

Viber works 100% fine. But whatsapp does not receive notifications unless I manually open whatsapp!

For the installation I installed on Nexus 4....

Made a titanium backup of whatsapp app+data

Restore titanium backup on Nexus 7

And after that I reinstalled whatsapp latest apk (without wiping data) on Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] knuckles1978:
Re: [HOWTO] Install Whatsapp working On Nexus 7! [1/03/13]

I installed whatsapp on n7 the same. Just from a working backup from phone. My notifications are fine..

One difference. Instead of installing the latest apk on the n7 after importing the titanium backup, I just had my phone running the latest apk before i made the backup.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NLBeev:
The carbon procedure did not work for me. Some parts of the Whatsapp-data were not copied.

I am curious about the version of Whatsapp.

I like to know why your version does not need Appguard.

Do you use the same cellphone number on the tablet and on the smartphone from which you copied WA-data?.

On my rooted Nexus 7 is installed Whatsapp Messenger 2.9.1547.

When I unsecure it from Appguard and restart Whatsapp, a message appears telling me that tablets are not supported.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] hallergard:
My wife's Galaxy S2: installed Whatsapp 2.9.2871 (latest version I think) and upgraded to android 4.0.4 so that I could install Carbon. Backed up Whatsapp and copied /carbon/com.whatsapp/ (via dropbox) over to my Nexus 7 /carbon/whatsapp/ (had installed Carbon on N7 and uninstalled the previous unsecured Whatsapp). Restored Whatsapp with Carbon. Run Whatsapp which functioned straight away (with wifie's mobile number). Sent a message.

Wanted to change to my Google Voice number for N7. First applied the AppGuard proceedure - got message that client had been modified etc. Unsecured Whatsapp and uninstalled it. Restored Whatsapp with Carbon again. Run Whatsapp and sent a message. Exited Whatsapp, and run it again. Got the check number rutine, put in my GV number and eventually got the SMS with the 6 digit code to my N7 Google Voice. Entered the code and after some time it was completed. Voila!

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NLBeev:
Re: [HOWTO] Install Whatsapp working On Nexus 7! [1/03/13]

You need tot uninstall Whatsapp from the tablet, as follows:

Apguard - unsecure Whatsapp;

Uninstall - Whatsapp;

Power off the tablet;

Repeat the Titanium-backup-phone-copy.

Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tssphysicsboi:
Thanks NLBeev, I'll give it a try. My situation is a bit weird because my parents uses the tablet and I use my phone, so our 'data' backed up on titanium are totally different.

I'm thinking of using both Carbon and titanium as a combo? So I use carbon to backup whatsapp 1st. Then use the N7 carbon to restore it then use titanium to restore N7's whatsapp data....

What a mess....
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] hallergard:
Further to my posts #243 and #246 I should maybe clarify a bit further how the succesful installation with Carbon was achieved:

I followed virasarus' HowTo in #204 except I did not do 8 & 9, as I was not asked to install Whatsapp from the Play store (probably because I already had the latest version directly from Whatsapp). Also I did not do 12 and 13, as I did not really see the point of it. After sending a message and exiting, I still got asked to verify my number when I restarted Whatsapp. Have made a Carbon backup after applying my new (GV) number verification code.
