[Samsung Gear 2] xdalexd:
Hey xda!

Since there seems it isn't going to be released a gear-compatible Whatsapp app by official sources I started my way into developing applications for wearable devices with my own client.

Its buggy and not reliable as my knowledge is pretty limited. But it does its job most of the time. I'm trying to figure out how to make it work better, so with time and luck, It will improve.

CURRENTLY WORKING FEATURES:

View the list of chats, with their latest messages and hours.

Open chats, showing up to the last 50 messages (sent or received) and their hours.

View contact profiles from where you can check his/her status and phone number.

Reply to chats from the watch! (Sometimes messages will not be sent until Whatsapp is opened in phone, specially if sending lot of messages in a short period of time. Some other times, whatsapp remains opened in the device after sending it.)

View profile pictures.

View received images

NOT IMPLEMENTED YET (but scheduled/planned/desired for next updates):

Push notifications on watch for new messages, allowing you to directly open the chat in the watch (Replacement for default gear notification.) [Needs some work, but will come soon].

View received images in higher res. View videos/audio.

Last seen.

Group chats.

Start a new chat.

View / edit your own profile

Call and send SMS from contact profile ( there are buttons for it , but do nothing ).

Voice reply

Send images / videos

REQUIREMENTS:

Rooted phone (Android 4.4 KitKat or higher).

Tizenmod.

sqlite3 installed on your phone. If you dont have it, there are apps in the PlayStore that can install it for you, or you can manually copy sqlite3 file to system/xbin from an emulator.

Whatsapp installed (Obviously... ) and working on your phone.

Notification access for WhatsGear must be enabled on phone settings.

Root and sqlite3 are required in order to access Whatsapp's sqlite databases.

I'm not publishing this application in the Samsung Store, but Im releasing it here for all xda users.

If not clear, I have nothing to do with Whatsapp. This is a personal project for my use that I wanted to share with whoever wants to use it too.

I cannot be held responsible for any damage related to hardware, software or data loss which the end user might cause while attempting any procedures, methods or advices found on this thread.

Reviews, bug reports and ideas are appreciated.

Hope you like it :)
