anyone interested? check out https://sourceforge.net/projects/twogo4x/

here's the gist in summary:
There are everal things wrong with the 2go instant messenger:
-the app is poor on most platforms e.g android, blackberry and even pc!
-2go cannot be accessed via the web using a browser alone.
-2go can be more than it is right now.

This is an API for 2go. Hopefully, anyone can now write a client for the 2go network (even a web interface), improving on things therefore solving all 3 problems.

I have decompiled an older version of the 2go app for java mobiles and analysed it's java classes therefore most of the 2go GUI elements can be reconstructed.
I've started some work on the API (using VB.NET) but will need help in areas such as
-the network protocol (using wireshark)
-java code deciphering
-and API testing.

To start
1. download 2go4x.jar
2. download kemulator
3. use 2go4x.jar with kemulator on your pc and send us the log file!

Don't use sourceforge. Use github.

seun, pls add reasons

just downloaded it on my bb 9800, it just flashes endlessly, after a while it generates an exception message and closes

hmmm, does 2go from its publishers work on ur phone? What is on sourceforge is a java .jar file and an emulator. The aim is to get people to use it (preferably on pc) and submit the emulator logs which will then be used to develop an API implementable on any device

12 downloads in 6 days and counting. Have you got it? sf.net/projects/twogo4x

By downloading 2go4x.jar and using it on your pc through kemulator (also available for download in Files->res), you will be able to use your existing 2go account to log in to the popular IM service. Uploading the log file (log.txt), Wireshark dumps (if you can), or deciphering the reverse-engineered .jar file (Files->src) will help us build the 2go4x API to be used by all to freely expand our much beloved 2go network!

Will the finished product be propietry or open source? I may be interested in taking up the desktop client. I've got some experience in Swing

Ofcourse it'll be open source! That's the main reason for doing this ('this' being an API for 2go). If it had been open source, someone would have written a better client than what is available for, say, android.
The code i've written is already on sourceforge.net/projects/twogo4x

A one man hackathon isn't much fun! Want to be part of the effort? Go to sourceforge.net/projects/twogo4x

just put up a poll. Check it out at the top of the thread

My answer to the poll is not among the options. Actually, I've not joined because I'm currently tied down with academic stuffs. However it may be better to put it on GitHub for better integration with my IDE. I love this project and appreciate the work done so far. I've not tackled any "project" with VB too but that's not the issue. *off-to-sourceforge-to-check-the-project-out*

which IDE do you use? I chose VB.NET because it's easy enough to serve as pseudocode for people who know other languages because as the name implies 2go4x will be on several platforms e.g 2go4PC, 2go4Android etc and thus other languages will be used to implement it.

Netbeans/Eclipse for Java projects (and anything somewhat related). I also have Visual Studio which I use for WP7 projects. As I said, VB.NET would not really be a limitation as I'm open to learning new languages and VB.NET won't be a tough nut to crack.

Currently, I'm very familiar with Git/GitHub, Mecurial/Bitbucket and my Netbeans is setup to integrate properly with these. My Eclipse also has Mecurial installed.

ok. seems GitHub is the hot new thing. i hope it's easier to set up than sf.net's svn. major update coming up soon, might just put it up on github.com/olibenu

i have major update planned so i'm thinking of closing the poll on 1st August. so what will make it easier for you to join the 2go4x effort? i'll need to work on your suggestions

That is just sad. Just closed the poll and noticed the number of votes. Anyway, i'll go ahead and scratch my itch!

Docjay487: 2go4x? Always rejects my logins. Reports username/password error

strange. does the official client do the same?

There's a major update coming up. I'm not going to say more than one word for now: 'IConverse'.

trying to put the design documents up on github.com/olibenu
give me a little while to get this git thing up and running
i thought it was as easy as sourceforge.net

finally! after wrestling with git and github,
i have put the design documents up.

take a look at https://github.com/olibenu/iconverse
pay special attention to iconverse.pdf, it tells the whole story

i will soon put up a demo. just a little time, i'm hammering it out now

This is great bro... I'm so loving it. What's the status so far?

Hackomania: This is great bro... I'm so loving it. What's the status so far?

thanks hacko. currently, i'm moving focus from 2go4x (sf.net/projects/twogo4x) to IConverse (github.com/olibenu/iconverse).
a simple gui and an open source library (both showing my vision for IConverse) will soon be up at GitHub. very soon
