[APP][Android 2.3+] [Root] WhatsMore - Allow 2 phone numbers to be linked to WhatsApp

[seneca88]

Hi everyone,

I make this app for my own daily use originally. However, I found that many people are asking for similar features on WhatsApp. So, I make it available on Google Play Store. You need a rooted device to run this app.

WhatsMore is an add-on account management to make WhatsApp holding more than 1 phone number even on a single-SIM mobile phone. Now, we can give different phone numbers to the family, co-workers, customers, net-friends, and etc…

Features:
- Allow Up to 2 phone numbers to be used with WhatsApp on the same device.
- Auto swapping WhatsApp accounts in a user preset interval.
- Show notifications when swapping WhatsApp accounts.
- Show notifications if there are unread messages of swapped out WhatsApp accounts.
- Launch any inactive WhatsApp account from within WhatsMore.
- Perform auto recovery upon the App starts (or the phone starts up) if the previous swapping process is interrupted. (ie. Power off, reboot of the mobile phone, upgrade from the play store)

** The following statement is copied from the official WhatsApp FAQ **
If you attempt to frequently switch your WhatsApp account between different devices, at a certain point, you may be blocked from re-verifying your account. So please do not repeatedly switch between different devices.

Using this app is a different story. You only register the each linked phone number once. And, you are always working on 1 device only.

Set up procedures:
Assume you have phone number 1 and phone number 2. Follow the following steps to do the configuration:

1. Make sure the WhatsApp is properly registered with phone number 1.
2. Start WhatsMore and swipe to the tab - Manage Profiles.
3. Click the [import] button on the bottom of the screen.
4. Input a profile name when prompted for.
5. After import success, you can see the button on the bottom of the screen has the label changed. It should read ‘Prepare WhatsApp for a new registraion’.
6. Click the [prepare] button and you will get a warning dialog.
7. Click [Continue] and wait for the process to be finished.
8. Turn off the phone and swap the SIM cards of phone number 1 and 2.
9. Start WhatsApp
10. Go thru the WhatsApp registration procedure using the phone number 2.
11. Make sure the new phone number 2 is working on the WhatsApp.
12. Start WhatsMore and swipe to the tab - Manage Profiles.
13. Click the [import] button on the bottom of the screen.
14. Input a profile name when prompted for.
15. Swipe to the tab - Status.

After doing the above steps, you should see 2 phone icons on the status tab.

Note:
Make sure you have the latest Busybox installed. Otherwise, this app won't work!

HAPPY CHATTING!

Please make it compatible with Android 2.3 as well as many of us have dual sim phone which are still having 2.3 so please try to get it in the compatible list.

I would like to know if the message database of two accounts will be merged into one or two separate databases will be kept?

Separated internal memory storage for each WhatsApp number.

A new version of WhatsMore has been published to the play store. It uses a less complicated root command syntax and perhaps more devices are supported. Also, please make sure you have the latest Busybox installed.

Some carriers certainly provides 2 numbers on 1 sim-card. However, you don't need this special sim-card to use WhatsMore. Once you are done with the WhatsApp registration, you can pull out that sim-card out of your phone. It is not needed anymore when you are chatting WhatApp.

A new version (v0.15) is published to the play store which is compatible with Android 2.3.3. I can only test it on a Galaxy S. Please let me know if it works on your device.

Better use T.backup instead of the WhatsApp built-in backup. The are guidelines in the FAQ of WhatsMore.

The release version has a fix. In the beta version, the number picker did not refresh the phone wake up duration when the auto rotation had already been turned on. Thanks.

I'm using the donate version on an HTC One S running CM 10.0. The app keeps asking to grant Superuser twice upon every startup, despite having told my superuser-app to automatically grant permission upon the first run. After having used Whatsnow, other apps requiring root keep telling me they couldn't find the SU-binary and won't work anymore till restart.

Anyone have this problem? Once i've installed, connect to the wireless access point, unable to get the IP address, and at the end wireless will disconnect automatically.
Please advise.

Btw, I'm using Samsung Note 2 N7105.

Thanks.

If you have installed another key borard, then simply revert to default keyboard.
