After the initial mktemp Mac OS X fix, I added a few more things. Some are for general stability, but also extract the key and databases like the Windows version. Left the separate commits, hope you don't mind.

Thanks Joel for your help. Could you please add the foll wing to the README, before I can merge them, feel free to improve the below comment. I was thinking for a long time to add a lil' instruction about the TriCrypt usage.

Install/Run TriCrypt

Get TriCrypt from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tricrypt

Auto Mode:

  1. Click "Service Running - Tap To Enable", this will run a background service that will run each 15 mins to detect the WhatsApp Backup DB, and will automatically do the Decrypt/Recrypt DB.
  2. Sit back and enjoy.

Manual Mode:

  1. Click "Decrypt WhatsApp Database".
  2. Click "Recrypt WhatsApp Database".
  3. (Optional) Click "Trigger SMS Backup+".

Make sure you have enable the "3rd party integration" from the Auto backup setting menu at SMS Backup+, so that TriCrypt can trigger it once it is done with Decrypt/Recrypt.

@AbinashBishoyi: seems as if the additional TriCrypt instructions could have been added after this pull request, but sure, here it is. My instructions were rudimentary, but the important part was is mentioning the clicking the button to enable crypt6/7.
