Patch Change Carrier String

2009-11-20T02:59:52Z

Jmartino2011: Added patch process

{{template:patch}}
[[Image:Change-carrier-string.jpg|right]]
[[Image:Carrier-string2.jpg|right]]

Further testing has revealed that editing bar-scene.html fails. The following is a revised mod as a result of that testing.

Also, a point of interest - there is a lot more code in this, referencing SIM cards and other carrier type information. It's obvious that Palm is getting the WebOS ready for other carriers.

----

Want to change the Sprint text in the upper left hand corner to something more interesting? Maybe your name or different carrier to fake out your friends? Well here’s how:

'''Patching Process'''

I created a patch to automate a large portion of this process, especially for those who are not comfortable accessing linux commandline on their phones. Please see my patch page at...[http://forums.precentral.net/webos-patches/215945-patch-change-carrier-string-color-carrier-string-date-time.html Change-Carrier-String-and-Color.patch].

'''Instructions'''

You’ll need to: [[Portal:Accessing Linux | Access to Linux ]]

Log in and execute the following commands:
<pre><nowiki>
sudo -i
</nowiki></pre>
Unlock the file system:
<pre><nowiki>
mount -o remount,rw /
</nowiki></pre>
Change the directory:
<pre><nowiki>
cd /
</nowiki></pre>
Back up your old file in case you screw up or want to revert your changes:
<pre><nowiki>
cp /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/app/controllers/bar-assistant.js /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/app/controllers/bar-assistant.js.bak
</nowiki></pre>
Edit the following:
<pre><nowiki>
vi /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/app/controllers/bar-assistant.js
</nowiki></pre>

For version 1.3.1 - Go to line 484 (either scroll down or type :484 and hit enter) and make the following change. To edit a file through command line, press "i" on your keyboard and a "I" should show up on the bottom line of your program. You can then make whatever edits you need to. When you are done editing, hit "Esc" and then type ":wq" to save the file and get back to the command prompt.

(For version 1.0.4 - Go to line 440. For version 1.1.0 - make the changes on lines 429, 444 & 467. For version 1.2 and 1.2.1 - make the change on line 483.)

Of course, instead of using "Verizon" you can use what ever string you would like.
<pre><nowiki>
//$('carrier').innerHTML = this.carrierText
$('carrier').innerHTML = $L("Verizon");
</nowiki></pre>

Turning on and off Airplane Mode brings back the "sprint". To get it to show your string like "Verizon" again;

For version 1.3.1 - Go to line 835 (type :835) and make the following change.

(For version 1.0.4 - Go to line 698. For version 1.1.0 - Go to line 800. For version 1.2 and 1.2.1 - Go to line 830.)

<pre><nowiki>
//$('carrier').innerHTML = this.carrierText;
$('carrier').innerHTML = $L("Verizon");
</nowiki></pre>
Lock your file system:
<pre><nowiki>
mount -o remount ro /
</nowiki></pre>
Restart LunaSysMgr:
<pre><nowiki>
/sbin/initctl stop LunaSysMgr
/sbin/initctl start LunaSysMgr
</nowiki></pre>

OR

<pre><nowiki>
stop LunaSysMgr && start LunaSysMgr
</nowiki></pre>

== To Modify the Font Color ==

This modification works for at least 1.2, 1.2.1, and 1.3.1. It has been verified for all three of those versions of webOS.

If you would like to modify the color of the carrier text, you must edit the appropriate .css file.

With the filesystem still unlocked in rw mode, back up the following file:

<pre><nowiki>
cp /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/stylesheets/systemui.css /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/stylesheets/systemui.css.bak
</nowiki></pre>

Now edit the file with vi:
<pre><nowiki>
vi /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/stylesheets/systemui.css
</nowiki></pre>

Search to the line beginning with ''#carrier'' (line #93) and modify the color attribute from the default hex value of #fff to the desired [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors HTML color] of your choice. The example below shows a red color.

<pre><nowiki>
#carrier {
float: left;
color: #E01000;
margin-left: 2px;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
</nowiki></pre>

If you would like to modify the color of the clock, make the following change to line #44 (approximate). This will change the color of the clock to red-orange or something like that. I used blue (0000FF) for the carrier string, so I have an orange and blue (I go to Univ. of FL) theme goin on.

<pre><nowiki>
#date-and-time {
color: #FF8C00;
position: fixed;
margin: 1px 0 0 0;
top: 0;
left: 0;
height: 28px;
width: 100%;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
}
</nowiki></pre>

Then you can lock the filesystem and restart LunaSysMgr as above:
<pre><nowiki>
mount -o remount,ro /
/sbin/initctl stop LunaSysMgr
/sbin/initctl start LunaSysMgr
</nowiki></pre>

== Modifying the Phone App ==
The changes shown above modify the main view on the page. The changes listed below will modify the Phone App as well

Follow the instructions above on mounting the file system. Also, if you have not backed up your '''orignal''' bar-assistant.js file, be sure to do so. Do not back it up a second time, as this will overwrite your clean original.

Make the following changes on lines 214 & 239 (on WebOS 1.1):

<pre><nowiki>
//$('appname').innerHTML = this.carrierText
$('appname').innerHTML = $L("Verizon");
</nowiki></pre>

Again, substituting "Verizon" with your string of choice.

Remount the file system as ro , and stop and restart LunaSysMgr

Browser - Show All Bookmarks (Not just first 12)

2009-11-20T02:54:52Z

Jmartino2011: added template

{{template:patch}}

This patch to the webOS Browser will enable you to view all of your bookmarks on the home screen of the Browser, not just the first 12. Therefore, if you are like me and rely heavily on bookmarking pages, you will not have to go into the menu of the Browser, select Bookmarks, and then scroll to the one you want. Now, you will be able to load the Browser, and scroll through all of your bookmarks on the home page.

*This requires Linux access on your Pre. To be able to do this, follow the Procedure here http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Portal:Accessing_Linux. Once that is done, follow all of the Next Steps on the same page below the Procedure box. Alternatively, you can use the Linux Commandline under Tools in QuickInstall.

'''Patch Process'''

I created a patch to automate a large portion of this process, especially for those who are not comfortable accessing linux commandline on their phones. Please see my patch page at...[http://forums.precentral.net/webos-patches/215949-patch-change-number-bookmarks-browser.html Change-Number-of-Bookmarks.patch].

'''Instructions:'''
These instructions are compatible with webOS 1.2.1 and 1.3.1 ONLY, as I have not tested them on any other version.

Log into your phone via SSH or Quick Install Linux Commandline.

<pre><nowiki>
sudo -i
//enter password to gain root permissions

cd /
//this changes the working directory to the root directory

mount -o remount,rw /
//this gives you read and write permissions to files on the phone

vi /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.browser/app/controllers/startpage-assistant.js
//this opens (vi) the file startpage-assistant.js so that you can view the contents
</nowiki></pre>

Either type ':10' or scroll down until you find the line that states "this._maxShowCount = 12;"

Type 'i' to enter into write mode for the file you have opened. You should see a capital i (''I'') in the bottom left-hand corner. Now, modify the maxShowCount to whatever you want. I had 20 bookmarks, but used 48 as the max so I can add more bookmarks. You will be able to just scroll down on the home page of the Browser and see all of your bookmarks. My final line looked like this:

<pre><nowiki>
this._maxShowCount = 48;
//changes the maximum number of bookmarks shown on Browser home page to 48 instead of 12
</nowiki></pre>

To finish your session, hit ESC on your keyboard to exit write mode (the capital i (''I'') in the lower left hand corner will disappear and be replaced by a dash), and then type ':wq' to save the file that you have just modified. Then, to exit the linux commandline:

<pre><nowiki>
mount -o remount,ro /
//remounts the device as read only

stop LunaSysMgr && start LunaSysMgr
//restarts the Luna Service, meaning your phone will reboot without turning off completely
</nowiki></pre>

Now, when you open your browser, you should see all of the bookmarks that you have created instead of just the first 12!

Enjoy!

Browser - Show All Bookmarks (Not just first 12)

2009-11-17T03:50:08Z

Jmartino2011: Patch webOS Browser: Show All Bookmarks (Not just first 12) moved to Browser - Show All Bookmarks (Not just first 12)

This patch to the webOS Browser will enable you to view all of your bookmarks on the home screen of the Browser, not just the first 12. Therefore, if you are like me and rely heavily on bookmarking pages, you will not have to go into the menu of the Browser, select Bookmarks, and then scroll to the one you want. Now, you will be able to load the Browser, and scroll through all of your bookmarks on the home page.

*This requires Linux access on your Pre. To be able to do this, follow the Procedure here http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Portal:Accessing_Linux. Once that is done, follow all of the Next Steps on the same page below the Procedure box. Alternatively, you can use the Linux Commandline under Tools in QuickInstall.

'''Instructions:'''
These instructions are compatible with webOS 1.2.1 and 1.3.1 ONLY, as I have not tested them on any other version.

Log into your phone via SSH or Quick Install Linux Commandline.

<pre><nowiki>
sudo -i
//enter password to gain root permissions

cd /
//this changes the working directory to the root directory

mount -o remount,rw /
//this gives you read and write permissions to files on the phone

vi /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.browser/app/controllers/startpage-assistant.js
//this opens (vi) the file startpage-assistant.js so that you can view the contents
</nowiki></pre>

Either type ':10' or scroll down until you find the line that states "this._maxShowCount = 12;"

Type 'i' to enter into write mode for the file you have opened. You should see a capital i (''I'') in the bottom left-hand corner. Now, modify the maxShowCount to whatever you want. I had 20 bookmarks, but used 48 as the max so I can add more bookmarks. You will be able to just scroll down on the home page of the Browser and see all of your bookmarks. My final line looked like this:

<pre><nowiki>
this._maxShowCount = 48;
//changes the maximum number of bookmarks shown on Browser home page to 48 instead of 12
</nowiki></pre>

To finish your session, hit ESC on your keyboard to exit write mode (the capital i (''I'') in the lower left hand corner will disappear and be replaced by a dash), and then type ':wq' to save the file that you have just modified. Then, to exit the linux commandline:

<pre><nowiki>
mount -o remount,ro /
//remounts the device as read only

stop LunaSysMgr && start LunaSysMgr
//restarts the Luna Service, meaning your phone will reboot without turning off completely
</nowiki></pre>

Now, when you open your browser, you should see all of the bookmarks that you have created instead of just the first 12!

Enjoy!

Patch Change Carrier String

2009-11-17T03:43:24Z

Jmartino2011:

{{template:patch}}
[[Image:Change-carrier-string.jpg|right]]
[[Image:Carrier-string2.jpg|right]]

Further testing has revealed that editing bar-scene.html fails. The following is a revised mod as a result of that testing.

Also, a point of interest - there is a lot more code in this, referencing SIM cards and other carrier type information. It's obvious that Palm is getting the WebOS ready for other carriers.

----

Want to change the Sprint text in the upper left hand corner to something more interesting? Maybe your name or different carrier to fake out your friends? Well here’s how:

You’ll need to: [[Portal:Accessing Linux | Access to Linux ]]

Log in and execute the following commands:
<pre><nowiki>
sudo -i
</nowiki></pre>
Unlock the file system:
<pre><nowiki>
mount -o remount,rw /
</nowiki></pre>
Change the directory:
<pre><nowiki>
cd /
</nowiki></pre>
Back up your old file in case you screw up or want to revert your changes:
<pre><nowiki>
cp /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/app/controllers/bar-assistant.js /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/app/controllers/bar-assistant.js.bak
</nowiki></pre>
Edit the following:
<pre><nowiki>
vi /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/app/controllers/bar-assistant.js
</nowiki></pre>

For version 1.3.1 - Go to line 484 (either scroll down or type :484 and hit enter) and make the following change. To edit a file through command line, press "i" on your keyboard and a "I" should show up on the bottom line of your program. You can then make whatever edits you need to. When you are done editing, hit "Esc" and then type ":wq" to save the file and get back to the command prompt.

(For version 1.0.4 - Go to line 440. For version 1.1.0 - make the changes on lines 429, 444 & 467. For version 1.2 and 1.2.1 - make the change on line 483.)

Of course, instead of using "Verizon" you can use what ever string you would like.
<pre><nowiki>
//$('carrier').innerHTML = this.carrierText
$('carrier').innerHTML = $L("Verizon");
</nowiki></pre>

Turning on and off Airplane Mode brings back the "sprint". To get it to show your string like "Verizon" again;

For version 1.3.1 - Go to line 835 (type :835) and make the following change.

(For version 1.0.4 - Go to line 698. For version 1.1.0 - Go to line 800. For version 1.2 and 1.2.1 - Go to line 830.)

<pre><nowiki>
//$('carrier').innerHTML = this.carrierText;
$('carrier').innerHTML = $L("Verizon");
</nowiki></pre>
Lock your file system:
<pre><nowiki>
mount -o remount ro /
</nowiki></pre>
Restart LunaSysMgr:
<pre><nowiki>
/sbin/initctl stop LunaSysMgr
/sbin/initctl start LunaSysMgr
</nowiki></pre>

OR

<pre><nowiki>
stop LunaSysMgr && start LunaSysMgr
</nowiki></pre>

== To Modify the Font Color ==

This modification works for at least 1.2, 1.2.1, and 1.3.1. It has been verified for all three of those versions of webOS.

If you would like to modify the color of the carrier text, you must edit the appropriate .css file.

With the filesystem still unlocked in rw mode, back up the following file:

<pre><nowiki>
cp /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/stylesheets/systemui.css /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/stylesheets/systemui.css.bak
</nowiki></pre>

Now edit the file with vi:
<pre><nowiki>
vi /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/stylesheets/systemui.css
</nowiki></pre>

Search to the line beginning with ''#carrier'' (line #93) and modify the color attribute from the default hex value of #fff to the desired [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors HTML color] of your choice. The example below shows a red color.

<pre><nowiki>
#carrier {
float: left;
color: #E01000;
margin-left: 2px;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
</nowiki></pre>

If you would like to modify the color of the clock, make the following change to line #44 (approximate). This will change the color of the clock to red-orange or something like that. I used blue (0000FF) for the carrier string, so I have an orange and blue (I go to Univ. of FL) theme goin on.

<pre><nowiki>
#date-and-time {
color: #FF8C00;
position: fixed;
margin: 1px 0 0 0;
top: 0;
left: 0;
height: 28px;
width: 100%;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
}
</nowiki></pre>

Then you can lock the filesystem and restart LunaSysMgr as above:
<pre><nowiki>
mount -o remount,ro /
/sbin/initctl stop LunaSysMgr
/sbin/initctl start LunaSysMgr
</nowiki></pre>

== Modifying the Phone App ==
The changes shown above modify the main view on the page. The changes listed below will modify the Phone App as well

Follow the instructions above on mounting the file system. Also, if you have not backed up your '''orignal''' bar-assistant.js file, be sure to do so. Do not back it up a second time, as this will overwrite your clean original.

Make the following changes on lines 214 & 239 (on WebOS 1.1):

<pre><nowiki>
//$('appname').innerHTML = this.carrierText
$('appname').innerHTML = $L("Verizon");
</nowiki></pre>

Again, substituting "Verizon" with your string of choice.

Remount the file system as ro , and stop and restart LunaSysMgr

Patch Change Carrier String

2009-11-17T03:35:10Z

Jmartino2011:

{{template:patch}}
==Introduction==
This patch allows you to modify the carrier string so that instead of displaying "Sprint", it will show whatever you want it to. For instance, you could show your love for your phone and change the string to "PalmPre". On the other hand, you could bypass the $1000 iPhone application, and simply state "I'm Rich". Either way, it adds a touch of personality to your phone.

Also included are instructions on how to change the color of the font of the carrier string and the date-and-time string in the middle of the top bar.

==Editing Process==
The following is step-by-step instructions on how to modify the carrier string and it's font color via accessing the Linux Commandline. Some people call this "rooting your pre", but it is actually not rooting, just modifying the linux code that the phone runs on.

To begin, you must be able to access Linux on your phone. If you have no idea what this means, this will be a good starting point...[http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Portal:Accessing_Linux|Accessing Linux].

==Patching Process==
As of now, I have no idea how to create patches, but that is next on my agenda.

Enjoy!

Patch webOS Change Carrier String

2009-11-17T03:20:04Z

Jmartino2011: /* To Modify the Font Color */

{{template:patch}}
[[Image:Change-carrier-string.jpg|right]]
[[Image:Carrier-string2.jpg|right]]

Further testing has revealed that editing bar-scene.html fails. The following is a revised mod as a result of that testing.

Also, a point of interest - there is a lot more code in this, referencing SIM cards and other carrier type information. It's obvious that Palm is getting the WebOS ready for other carriers.

----

Want to change the Sprint text in the upper left hand corner to something more interesting? Maybe your name or different carrier to fake out your friends? Well here’s how:

You’ll need to: [[Portal:Accessing Linux | Access to Linux ]]

Log in and execute the following commands:
<pre><nowiki>
sudo -i
</nowiki></pre>
Unlock the file system:
<pre><nowiki>
mount -o remount,rw /
</nowiki></pre>
Change the directory:
<pre><nowiki>
cd /
</nowiki></pre>
Back up your old file in case you screw up or want to revert your changes:
<pre><nowiki>
cp /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/app/controllers/bar-assistant.js /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/app/controllers/bar-assistant.js.bak
</nowiki></pre>
Edit the following:
<pre><nowiki>
vi /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/app/controllers/bar-assistant.js
</nowiki></pre>

For version 1.3.1 - Go to line 484 (either scroll down or type :484 and hit enter) and make the following change. To edit a file through command line, press "i" on your keyboard and a "I" should show up on the bottom line of your program. You can then make whatever edits you need to. When you are done editing, hit "Esc" and then type ":wq" to save the file and get back to the command prompt.

(For version 1.0.4 - Go to line 440. For version 1.1.0 - make the changes on lines 429, 444 & 467. For version 1.2 and 1.2.1 - make the change on line 483.)

Of course, instead of using "Verizon" you can use what ever string you would like.
<pre><nowiki>
//$('carrier').innerHTML = this.carrierText
$('carrier').innerHTML = $L("Verizon");
</nowiki></pre>

Turning on and off Airplane Mode brings back the "sprint". To get it to show your string like "Verizon" again;

For version 1.3.1 - Go to line 835 (type :835) and make the following change.

(For version 1.0.4 - Go to line 698. For version 1.1.0 - Go to line 800. For version 1.2 and 1.2.1 - Go to line 830.)

<pre><nowiki>
//$('carrier').innerHTML = this.carrierText;
$('carrier').innerHTML = $L("Verizon");
</nowiki></pre>
Lock your file system:
<pre><nowiki>
mount -o remount ro /
</nowiki></pre>
Restart LunaSysMgr:
<pre><nowiki>
/sbin/initctl stop LunaSysMgr
/sbin/initctl start LunaSysMgr
</nowiki></pre>

OR

<pre><nowiki>
stop LunaSysMgr && start LunaSysMgr
</nowiki></pre>

== To Modify the Font Color ==

This modification works for at least 1.2, 1.2.1, and 1.3.1. It has been verified for all three of those versions of webOS.

If you would like to modify the color of the carrier text, you must edit the appropriate .css file.

With the filesystem still unlocked in rw mode, back up the following file:

<pre><nowiki>
cp /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/stylesheets/systemui.css /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/stylesheets/systemui.css.bak
</nowiki></pre>

Now edit the file with vi:
<pre><nowiki>
vi /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/stylesheets/systemui.css
</nowiki></pre>

Search to the line beginning with ''#carrier'' (line #93) and modify the color attribute from the default hex value of #fff to the desired [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors HTML color] of your choice. The example below shows a red color.

<pre><nowiki>
#carrier {
float: left;
color: #E01000;
margin-left: 2px;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
</nowiki></pre>

If you would like to modify the color of the clock, make the following change to line #44 (approximate). This will change the color of the clock to red-orange or something like that. I used blue (0000FF) for the carrier string, so I have an orange and blue (I go to Univ. of FL) theme goin on.

<pre><nowiki>
#date-and-time {
color: #FF8C00;
position: fixed;
margin: 1px 0 0 0;
top: 0;
left: 0;
height: 28px;
width: 100%;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
}
</nowiki></pre>

Then you can lock the filesystem and restart LunaSysMgr as above:
<pre><nowiki>
mount -o remount,ro /
/sbin/initctl stop LunaSysMgr
/sbin/initctl start LunaSysMgr
</nowiki></pre>

== Modifying the Phone App ==
The changes shown above modify the main view on the page. The changes listed below will modify the Phone App as well

Follow the instructions above on mounting the file system. Also, if you have not backed up your '''orignal''' bar-assistant.js file, be sure to do so. Do not back it up a second time, as this will overwrite your clean original.

Make the following changes on lines 214 & 239 (on WebOS 1.1):

<pre><nowiki>
//$('appname').innerHTML = this.carrierText
$('appname').innerHTML = $L("Verizon");
</nowiki></pre>

Again, substituting "Verizon" with your string of choice.

Remount the file system as ro , and stop and restart LunaSysMgr

<pre><nowiki>
vi /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/stylesheets/systemui.css
</nowiki></pre>

Search to the line beginning with ''#carrier'' (line #93) and modify the color attribute from the default hex value of #fff to the desired [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors HTML color] of your choice. The example below shows a red color.

<pre><nowiki>
#carrier {
float: left;
color: #E01000;
margin-left: 2px;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
</nowiki></pre>

If you would like to modify the color of the clock, make the following change to line #44 (approximate). This will change the color of the clock to red-orange or something like that. I used blue (0000FF) for the carrier string, so I have an orange and blue (I go to Univ. of FL) theme goin on.

<pre><nowiki>
#date-and-time {
color: #FF8C00;
position: fixed;
margin: 1px 0 0 0;
top: 0;
left: 0;
height: 28px;
width: 100%;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
}
</nowiki></pre>

Then you can lock the filesystem and restart LunaSysMgr as above:
<pre><nowiki>
mount -o remount,ro /
/sbin/initctl stop LunaSysMgr
/sbin/initctl start LunaSysMgr
</nowiki></pre>

== Modifying the Phone App ==
The changes shown above modify the main view on the page. The changes listed below will modify the Phone App as well

Follow the instructions above on mounting the file system. Also, if you have not backed up your '''orignal''' bar-assistant.js file, be sure to do so. Do not back it up a second time, as this will overwrite your clean original.

Make the following changes on lines 214 & 239 (on WebOS 1.1):

<pre><nowiki>
//$('appname').innerHTML = this.carrierText
$('appname').innerHTML = $L("Verizon");
</nowiki></pre>

Again, substituting "Verizon" with your string of choice.

Remount the file system as ro , and stop and restart LunaSysMgr

Patch webOS Change Carrier String

2009-11-17T03:05:53Z

Jmartino2011: updated to 1.3.1

{{template:patch}}
[[Image:Change-carrier-string.jpg|right]]
[[Image:Carrier-string2.jpg|right]]

Further testing has revealed that editing bar-scene.html fails. The following is a revised mod as a result of that testing.

Also, a point of interest - there is a lot more code in this, referencing SIM cards and other carrier type information. It's obvious that Palm is getting the WebOS ready for other carriers.

----

Want to change the Sprint text in the upper left hand corner to something more interesting? Maybe your name or different carrier to fake out your friends? Well here’s how:

You’ll need to: [[Portal:Accessing Linux | Access to Linux ]]

Log in and execute the following commands:
<pre><nowiki>
sudo -i
</nowiki></pre>
Unlock the file system:
<pre><nowiki>
mount -o remount,rw /
</nowiki></pre>
Change the directory:
<pre><nowiki>
cd /
</nowiki></pre>
Back up your old file in case you screw up or want to revert your changes:
<pre><nowiki>
cp /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/app/controllers/bar-assistant.js /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/app/controllers/bar-assistant.js.bak
</nowiki></pre>
Edit the following:
<pre><nowiki>
vi /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/app/controllers/bar-assistant.js
</nowiki></pre>

For version 1.3.1 - Go to line 484 (either scroll down or type :484 and hit enter) and make the following change. To edit a file through command line, press "i" on your keyboard and a "I" should show up on the bottom line of your program. You can then make whatever edits you need to. When you are done editing, hit "Esc" and then type ":wq" to save the file and get back to the command prompt.

(For version 1.0.4 - Go to line 440. For version 1.1.0 - make the changes on lines 429, 444 & 467. For version 1.2 and 1.2.1 - make the change on line 483.)

Of course, instead of using "Verizon" you can use what ever string you would like.
<pre><nowiki>
//$('carrier').innerHTML = this.carrierText
$('carrier').innerHTML = $L("Verizon");
</nowiki></pre>

Turning on and off Airplane Mode brings back the "sprint". To get it to show your string like "Verizon" again;

For version 1.2 and 1.2.1 - Go to line 830 (type :830) and make the following change.

(For version 1.0.4 - Go to line 698. For version 1.1.0 - Go to line 800.)

<pre><nowiki>
//$('carrier').innerHTML = this.carrierText;
$('carrier').innerHTML = $L("Verizon");
</nowiki></pre>
Lock your file system:
<pre><nowiki>
mount -o remount ro /
</nowiki></pre>
Restart LunaSysMgr:
<pre><nowiki>
/sbin/initctl stop LunaSysMgr
/sbin/initctl start LunaSysMgr
</nowiki></pre>

OR

<pre><nowiki>
stop LunaSysMgr && start LunaSysMgr
</nowiki></pre>

== To Modify the Font Color ==

If you would like to modify the color of the carrier text, you must edit the appropriate .css file.

With the filesystem still unlocked in rw mode, back up the following file:

<pre><nowiki>
cp /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/stylesheets/systemui.css /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/stylesheets/systemui.css.bak
</nowiki></pre>

Now edit the file with vi:
<pre><nowiki>
vi /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/stylesheets/systemui.css
</nowiki></pre>

Search to the line beginning with ''#carrier'' (line #93) and modify the color attribute from the default hex value of #fff to the desired [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors HTML color] of your choice. The example below shows a red color.

<pre><nowiki>
#carrier {
float: left;
color: #E01000;
margin-left: 2px;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
</nowiki></pre>

If you would like to modify the color of the clock, make the following change to line #44 (approximate). This will change the color of the clock to red-orange or something like that. I used blue (0000FF) for the carrier string, so I have an orange and blue (I go to Univ. of FL) theme goin on.

<pre><nowiki>
#date-and-time {
color: #FF8C00;
position: fixed;
margin: 1px 0 0 0;
top: 0;
left: 0;
height: 28px;
width: 100%;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
}
</nowiki></pre>

Then you can lock the filesystem and restart LunaSysMgr as above:
<pre><nowiki>
mount -o remount,ro /
/sbin/initctl stop LunaSysMgr
/sbin/initctl start LunaSysMgr
</nowiki></pre>

Browser - Show All Bookmarks (Not just first 12)

2009-11-17T02:58:54Z

Jmartino2011: added support for 1.3.1

This patch to the webOS Browser will enable you to view all of your bookmarks on the home screen of the Browser, not just the first 12. Therefore, if you are like me and rely heavily on bookmarking pages, you will not have to go into the menu of the Browser, select Bookmarks, and then scroll to the one you want. Now, you will be able to load the Browser, and scroll through all of your bookmarks on the home page.

*This requires Linux access on your Pre. To be able to do this, follow the Procedure here http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Portal:Accessing_Linux. Once that is done, follow all of the Next Steps on the same page below the Procedure box. Alternatively, you can use the Linux Commandline under Tools in QuickInstall.

'''Instructions:'''
These instructions are compatible with webOS 1.2.1 and 1.3.1 ONLY, as I have not tested them on any other version.

Log into your phone via SSH or Quick Install Linux Commandline.

<pre><nowiki>
sudo -i
//enter password to gain root permissions

cd /
//this changes the working directory to the root directory

mount -o remount,rw /
//this gives you read and write permissions to files on the phone

vi /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.browser/app/controllers/startpage-assistant.js
//this opens (vi) the file startpage-assistant.js so that you can view the contents
</nowiki></pre>

Either type ':10' or scroll down until you find the line that states "this._maxShowCount = 12;"

Type 'i' to enter into write mode for the file you have opened. You should see a capital i (''I'') in the bottom left-hand corner. Now, modify the maxShowCount to whatever you want. I had 20 bookmarks, but used 48 as the max so I can add more bookmarks. You will be able to just scroll down on the home page of the Browser and see all of your bookmarks. My final line looked like this:

<pre><nowiki>
this._maxShowCount = 48;
//changes the maximum number of bookmarks shown on Browser home page to 48 instead of 12
</nowiki></pre>

To finish your session, hit ESC on your keyboard to exit write mode (the capital i (''I'') in the lower left hand corner will disappear and be replaced by a dash), and then type ':wq' to save the file that you have just modified. Then, to exit the linux commandline:

<pre><nowiki>
mount -o remount,ro /
//remounts the device as read only

stop LunaSysMgr && start LunaSysMgr
//restarts the Luna Service, meaning your phone will reboot without turning off completely
</nowiki></pre>

Now, when you open your browser, you should see all of the bookmarks that you have created instead of just the first 12!

Enjoy!

Patch Launcher Add or Delete Pages

2009-11-10T19:58:01Z

Jmartino2011: Add description of how to rearrange order of menu items in launcher menu

{{template:patch}}
[[Image:Launcher_AddDeletePages.jpg|border|right|Add/Delete Pages]]
==Introduction==

Someone in the forum talked about being able to add and delete pages in the Launcher app and I thought I would look into it further. They stated that they were able to add new pages and delete existing pages. Upon further investigation, they were correct. There is existing code, commented out, that will allow you to create a new launcher page or delete the current launcher page. There is a variable for the max number of pages palm set to 10. This value can probably be increased, but I don't recommend it and seriously, who would need more that 10 pages anyway, right?

===Usage===

*The new page and delete page functions will appear in the launcher menu.
**New Page
***This will create a new page and move whatever page you were on to the right. There is nothing special to this page besides the fact that you now have a new page. You can drag icons to it just like any other page.

**Delete Page
***This will delete the current launcher page. Any icons on the page will automatically move to the page to the left of the page being deleted. If there is no page to the left of the page being deleted icons are automatically moved to the default page of the Web Browser.

==Editing Process==

<pre>
/usr/lib/luna/system/luna-applauncher/app/controllers/launcher-assistant.js
</pre>
*Uncomment the following
**Look for "appMenuModel" (line 29) a few lines below you will see a line that has "newpage" in it. On the line that remove the "/*" and on the line that has "deletepage" remove the "*/"
**Look further in the file (line 120) for "switch" again remove the "/* and "*/" that surrounds the cases for newpage and deletepage.
*Perform a restart and the new page and delete page options will be in the launcher menu.

Original discovery credit is unknown. Pyrognome tested and confirmed the new page and delete page functionality.

'''Rearrange Order of Menu Items'''

This is a fantastic patch that makes the launcher much more useful (along with the 4x4 icon patches), but I kept hitting Delete Page because it was second on the list when I was trying to List Apps. Then, the page that I was currently on would be deleted and I would have to go back through and move all the icons to a new page - frustrating for me. Therefore, I simply rearranged the order of the menu items to what was more intuitive for me. This is a small change to this great patch, and does not add or subtract any functionality.

<pre>
Login via SSH

sudo -i
//enter password to become root

cd /

mount -o remount,rw /

vi /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-applauncher/app/controllers/launcher-assistant.js
//go to lines 26 and 27 and comment them out by adding '//' in front of them...to do this, hit 'i' to enter edit mode (you will see a capital i on the
//bottom left-hand corner of the screen) and scroll over to the beginning of the lines and type '//'. Then, rearrange the five menu items to whatever
//order you want...what I like best is below:

items: [
//{ label: $L('New page'), command: 'newpage' },
//{ label: $L('Delete page'), command: 'deletepage' },
Mojo.Menu.editItem,
{ label: $L('List Apps...'), command: 'listapps' },
{ label: $L('New page'), command: 'newpage' },
{ label: $L('Delete page'), command: 'deletepage' },
Mojo.Menu.helpItem
]

//This puts Edit first, then List Apps, New Page, Delete Page, and Help last in the menu
//hit ESC to exit edit mode, and then type ':wq' to save the file (launcher-assistant.js) that we just modified...

mount -o remount,ro /

stop LunaSysMgr && start LunaSysMgr
</pre>

All credit for this patch goes to original developer!

Patch webOS Boot Themes

2009-10-05T00:33:09Z

Jmartino2011:

{{template:patch}}
When the Pre is booting or shutting down, the screen fades between two images - ''/palm-logo.png'' and ''/palm-logo-bright.png'' located in ''/usr/palm/sysmgr/images''. By replacing either or both of these images, the boot logo can be customized. This requires [[Portal:Accessing_Linux | access to the Pre's OS]] if you follow the method outlined below "Replacing the Files". However, boot logos can now be installed via Quick Install...read the next paragraph to find out how.

The easiest way to install a boot theme onto your phone is to use WebOS Quick Install, which can be found at http://forums.precentral.net/homebrew-apps/206905-webos-quick-install-v2-7-beyond.html. You can download any set of boot logos, and then install them with Quick Install via the Change Boot Logo tweak. Alternatively, if you use the website PreThemer, you can download the IPKG files and install them directly through Quick Install. To do this, simply download the IPK file from the website to wherever you want on your computer, and then drag it into the main field of Quick Install and hit Install. If you had a boot log installed previous to webOS 1.2 (or 1.2.1), it is recommended that you uninstall the old ones first with Quick Install if you want to install via that program. To do this, go to Tools > Device Management and then look over your installed applications. You should see the name of your installed boot logo on that list. You can uninstall it by checking its box and then clicking uninstall.

Works with: 1.0.3, 1.1

== Replacing the Files==

'''Step One'''
Log into the phone via ssh and copy the files to the USB drive.
<pre><nowiki>
#/if your login account does not have root permission, you must sudo the commands...the following assumes you do not have root permission
#/if you do not use sudo and do not have root permission, you will get Permission Denied errors...
sudo mkdir /media/internal/bootlogo
sudo cp /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo* /media/internal/bootlogo
</nowiki></pre>

'''Step Two'''
Modify the files with your favorite editor (Gimp, Photoshop, ImageMagick, MS Paint, etc.)

'''Step Three'''
Save the new images to the ''bootlogo'' directory on the Pre's USB drive.

'''Step Four'''
Log into the phone via ssh, remount the root filesystem read-write, backup the existing files, copy the new images into place, and remount the root filesystem read-only.
<pre><nowiki>
sudo mount -o rw,remount /
sudo cp -ip /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo.png /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo.png.orig
sudo cp -ip /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo-bright.png /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo-bright.png.orig
sudo cp /media/internal/bootlogo/palm-logo.png /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo.png
sudo cp /media/internal/bootlogo/palm-logo-bright.png /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo-bright.png
sudo mount -o ro,remount /
</nowiki></pre>

'''Step Five'''
Restart Luna and watch your awesome new logo.
<pre><nowiki>
pkill LunaSysMgr
</nowiki></pre>

== Taking it to the Next Step==

With a small bit of scripting, we can have separate boot and shutdown themes. The first thing to do is to create regular and "bright" images for booting and shutting down. Save the new images to the ''bootlogo'' directory on the Pre's USB drive. (Steps 1-3 above).

'''Step One'''
Log into the phone via ssh, remount the root filesystem read-write, and create a directory in /opt to store the new images. We're using /opt, as the script we'll modify later will copy files, and /usr is mounted read-only.
<pre><nowiki>
sudo mount -o rw,remount /
sudo mkdir -p /opt/share/bootimages
</nowiki></pre>

'''Step Two'''
Copy the new images to /opt/share/bootimages, naming them palm-logo-up.png, palm-logo-up-bright.png, palm-logo-down.png and palm-logo-down-bright.png. Additionally, copy the shutdown files to palm-logo.png and palm-logo-bright.png.
<pre><nowiki>
cd /opt/share/bootimages/
sudo cp /media/internal/bootlogo/<boot image> palm-logo-up.png
sudo cp /media/internal/bootlogo/<bright boot image> palm-logo-up-bright.png
sudo cp /media/internal/bootlogo/<shutdown image> palm-logo-down.png
sudo cp /media/internal/bootlogo/<bright shutdown image> palm-logo-down-bright.png
sudo cp palm-logo-down.png palm-logo.png
sudo cp palm-logo-down-bright.png palm-logo-bright.png
</nowiki></pre>

'''Step Three'''
Backup the current logo images, if you haven't already.
<pre><nowiki>
sudo cp -ip /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo.png /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo.png.orig
sudo cp -ip /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo-bright.png /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo-bright.png.orig
</nowiki></pre>

'''Step Four'''
Delete the current logo images and replace them with symlinks to the files in our new directory in /opt
<pre><nowiki>
cd /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/
sudo rm palm-logo-bright.png
sudo rm palm-logo.png
sudo ln -s ../../../../../opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-bright.png palm-logo-bright.png
sudo ln -s ../../../../../opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo.png palm-logo.png
</nowiki></pre>

'''Step Five'''
Back up and edit /etc/init.d/start_animation, adding the switching of the files
<pre><nowiki>
sudo cp -ip /etc/init.d/start_animation /etc/init.d/start_animation.orig
sudo -e /etc/init.d/start_animation
</nowiki></pre>
Before the line starting with ''if [ -x /usr/bin/luna-send'' add the following:
<pre><nowiki>
ok=no
if [ -f /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-up.png ] && \
[ -f /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-up-bright.png ] && \
[ -f /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-down.png ] && \
[ -f /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-down-bright.png ] ; then
cp /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-down.png /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo.png
cp /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-down-bright.png /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-bright.png
ok=yes
fi
</nowiki></pre>
At the very end of the file, add the following:
<pre><nowiki>
if [ "$ok" = "yes" ] ; then
sleep 5
cp /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-up.png /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo.png
cp /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-up-bright.png /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-bright.png
fi
</nowiki></pre>

'''Step Six'''
Restart Luna and watch your awesome new logos.
<pre><nowiki>
pkill LunaSysMgr
</nowiki></pre>

Patch Launcher To Allow More Icons Per Row

2009-10-04T23:02:18Z

Jmartino2011: added text to change the font color and size for the app launcher

{{template:patch}}

==Introduction==

[[Image: 5by4Launcher.png|thumb|right]]
'''THIS IS 1.1.0 SAFE, DO NOT TRY IT WITH ANY OTHER WEBOS VERSION'''

This patch allows you to have a 20 icon, 5x4 launcher page. It decreases icon size and text size, changes the apps per row, and moves the text closer to the icon. It also modifies where the page indicators and margins are a little.

==End Result==

The thumbnail image on the right shows launcher after the patch is applied.

==Patch Process==

If you are not familiar with the Webos-Internals patching process, you'll need to visit the [[Applying Patches|Applying Patches]] section of the wiki to know how to use the patch. After you have set up everything and are ready to download the patch, it is in the''' modifications''' repo under '''"luna/more_icons_per_row.patch"''' ===address forthcoming===

This patch also includes the patch to allow a user to add and remove additional launcher pages. You might have to remove that patch before applying this one.

==Multi-line Icon Text==

[[Image: 4pre_row.jpg|thumb|right]]
I noticed that this makes some of the apps with longer names run into each other. I fixed this by going into the stylesheet and modifying
<pre>
.launcher_page .name
left:12px;
width:80px;
</pre>
The values may be different for you, I am using 4 icons per row instead of 5.

'''Suggestion: Can someone provide instructions for a 4x4 icon setup or an NxN setup? I find the 5x4 setup to be too small, and I often misclick on an icon.'''

'''Suggestion: Can anyone provide code so that there is a confirmation of the delete page command? It is really annoying when you accidentally hit 'Delete Page' and there goes the whole page...'''

For 5 per row you can use:
<pre>
.launcher_page .name
left: 20px;
width: 60px;
</pre>
This looks fairly center and none of the words run over each other.

==Widen space between icons and reduce margins==

[[image: wide_5_row.jpg|thumb|right]]
Change <pre>this.kAppWidth = 55;</pre> to <pre>this.kAppWidth = 64;</pre> will widen the space between each icon in the rows. To allow for this extra space and to balance the look of the page the left margin needs to be reduced by changing <pre>left: (((appIndex % this.kAppsPerRow) * this.kAppWidth) + this.kPageMargin),</pre> to <pre>left: (((appIndex % this.kAppsPerRow) * this.kAppWidth) - 18),</pre>

==Change the color and font size of app titles in launcher==

Using Quick Install, I changed the opacity of the launcher to zero so that the app icons just pop up over my background without any page being there. However, this made the white app titles kind of hard to see. So, I decided to change the color to black. To do this, I went into the stylesheet mentioned above and modified the color of the font and made it bigger.

<pre>
mount -o remount,rw /
</pre>

<pre>
vi /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-applauncher/stylesheets/launcher.css
</pre>

Go to line 141 by typing ":141".

Then, hit "i" to enter edit mode, and then change the color to black so that it looks like:

<pre>
color: black;
</pre>

While there, you can increase the font size. With the 4x4 app launcher patch applied, the font was set to 11 pixels. I changed it to 12, which works out except for the longest of app names. Once done modifying, press "esc" and then type ":wq" to save the file and get back to command line. Then, to restart Luna:

<pre>
stop LunaSysMgr && start LunaSysMgr
</pre>

= Editing the Dialer Background=

'''This section is for info about changing the background of the Dialer Application'''

It is still in development, so please correct any errors.

We can change that green background of the dialer screen pretty easily. We just need to change three files and reboot the Pre.

''' Since this is a simple change that several people may want to accomplish, I'm going to be very granular about how to perform this task.'''

This does require [[Portal:Accessing_Linux | access to the Pre's operating system]]. Please follow these steps first. Then open a SSH window to the Pre (either using "ssh -p 222 LOGIN_NAME@PALM_PRE_IP" or use a tool like PuTTY in Windows) You can find more information about this in the accessing linux page or by searching Google.

I started with a simple change because I don't have the Photoshop skills needed, I just made the current images black and white using Paint.net.
Here are the steps I took:

==Procedure==

Open the SSH session and we'll open this directory (cd - change directory) and look at it's contents (ls - listing).

<pre><nowiki>
cd /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.phone/images/
ls
</nowiki></pre>

You'll see a long list of files that are in this directory, we'll only use three today, but more editing may come in the future.
We'll backup the current image first incase we need to revert back to them (cp - copy). -Edit Stephen (Sprint Service and Repair): in order to copy a backup you have to make the file writeable. Same when installing the new images. This is since update 1.1.0. Make sure to make read-only after.

<pre><nowiki>
mount -o remount rw, /
cp backdrop-phone.png backdrop-phone.png.old
cp backdrop-phone-scroll-fade.png backdrop-phone-scroll-fade.png.old
cp list-section-line.png list-section-line.png.old
mount -o remount ro, /
</nowiki></pre>

If we do another listing (ls) we'll see the three files we just copied to make backups.

Next we'll need to copy (cp) the files to the location of the USB drive so that we'll be able to edit these files:

<pre><nowiki>
cp /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.phone/images/backdrop-phone.png /media/internal/
cp /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.phone/images/backdrop-phone-scroll-fade.png /media/internal/
cp /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.phone/images/list-section-line.png /media/internal/
</nowiki></pre>

Now click on the USB icon on the Pre's notification area, switch to USB Storage mode.

You can now copy the files off of the Pre and edit them any way you want, just make sure they have the same properties as the orig (transparency, size, file extention, etc). I didn't create these image below, they are just edited from the Palm Pre. You can use any 360 x 420 PNG to achieve these results.

Once they are edit to your liking, copy the files back to the Pre in USB mode with the same file name.

Eject your Pre from your computer, wait for Wifi to log back into your network, and SSH into the Pre again. Your old window probably timed out by now so you can close it.

== Last step==

Now we'll need to get the files (all 3 if you edited them) back to the correct location, so we'll use the copy (cp) command to do this. -Edit Stephen: Same thing here, you have to make the folder writeable. Make sure to make read-only after.

<pre><nowiki>
mount -o remount rw, /
cp /media/internal/backdrop-phone.png /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.phone/images/
cp /media/internal/backdrop-phone-scroll-fade.png /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.phone/images/
cp /media/internal/list-section-line.png /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.phone/images/
mount -o remount ro, /
</nowiki></pre>

Once this is done exit the SSH session (type exit) and reboot the Pre from the Device Info menu. When it comes back up you should see your new background on the dialpad screen.

If you are going to use the files I edited you'll just need to copy them to the USB drive, and then complete the last step.

== Here are my edits:==

Two others for consistency:

Thanks to desairs at the PreCentral forums for pointing me in the correct direction.

If you want to use these modified images, you can download them directly to the directory and replace the files you backed up with cp.

Then to reload you can try the following command instead of a reboot:

luna-send -n 1 palm://com.palm.appinstaller/rescan {}

=Installing the new Dialer Theme=

[[Image:Edit-dialer-theme.png|right]]

This page is for info about changing the theme of the Dialer Application. It is still in development, so please correct any errors.

This guide involves much the same process as demonstrated in the tutorial on [[background-editing|changing the background]].
Most of the text here has been borrowed from that article, as it is written very well.

The theme I (Jwborc39963 [palmkernel on IRC]) created is shown to the right. You can download the files I modified [http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZO2HSPJT here]

Another theme made by Abyssul (on IRC and PreCentral.net). Similar to Jwborc39963, but blue instead of green:

This guide assumes that you have already [[Portal:Accessing_Linux | rooted]] your phone.

==STEP ONE:==

Open the SSH session and we'll open this directory (cd - change directory) and look at it's contents (ls - listing)
<pre><nowiki>
cd /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.phone/images/
ls
</nowiki></pre>

==STEP TWO:==

You'll see a long list of files that are in this directory.
We'll backup the current images to the USB accessible storage first in case we need to revert back to them (cp - copy)

<pre><nowiki>

cp /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.phone/images/popup-icon-missed.png /media/internal/
</nowiki></pre>

==STEP THREE:==

Now click on the USB icon on the Pre's notification area, and switch to USB Storage mode.

You can now copy the files off of the Pre and edit them any way you want, just make sure they have the same properties as the orig (transparency, file extention, etc). The 'background editing' article mentions to keeps these files the same size, however I did not and the phone still worked. I already created a theme (the one pictured above) and will upload the images later today. I changed the colors on the buttons using paint.net and the 'change color' brush. It was time consuming, but I think it was worth it.

Once they are edited to your liking, copy the files back to the Pre in USB mode with the same file name.

Edit & Discussion (by ultraBlack): It might be easier to use [[Setup_SFTP|SFTP]] to do this.

==STEP FOUR:==

Eject your Pre from your computer, wait for WiFi to log back into your network, and SSH into the Pre again. Your old window probably timed out by now, so you can close it.
We'll need to get the files back to the correct location, so we'll use the copy (cp) command to do this.

</nowiki></pre>

Once this is done, exit the SSH session (type 'exit') and reboot the Pre from the Device Info menu. When it comes back up you should see your new theme on the dialpad screen.

------

Edit: Wouldn't this be a million times easier with wildcards?
Edit: Also might suggest creating a folder in /media/internal rather than putting all this stuff in the root dir. Could get messy. Also if you use a hidden dir on /media/internal I think it will prevent the images from showing up in the photo browser on the phone. Maybe add "mkdir /media/internal/.theme/" and "mkdir /media/internal/.theme/dialer".

Please feel free to edit this page if you think something can be done better. This is how I did it, and I figured people could copy/paste into terminal/PuTTY, however if you see something that you think can be done better in this tutorial, please edit it for the better!

=== Editing the "Enter Number or Name..." Text Color===

It was driving me slightly crazy that there's a slight greenish tint to the writing above the dialpad.

Easy fix.

Open '''/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.phone/stylesheets/dialpad.css'''

For versions 1.2 and 1.2.1 - Go to line 65 and change:

<pre><nowiki>
.text-input.hinttext {
color: #bcceb3;
font-size: 16px;
padding: 0 60px 0 40px;
overflow: hidden;
white-space: nowrap;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
</nowiki></pre>

to:

<pre><nowiki>
.text-input.hinttext {
color: #ffffff;
font-size: 16px;
padding: 0 60px 0 40px;
overflow: hidden;
white-space: nowrap;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
</nowiki></pre>

You can also change the size of the font so that it fills the space better. Right now it is at 16 pixels, but I like 20 pixels.

=== Blank Dialer Pad Graphics ===

Here are the 8 files needed to create your own dial pad.
They are blank and ready for you to add text or graphics to!

Simply use a graphic editor to add what ever numbers or text
you'd like and you're good to go!

Just make sure that when you save them to the PRE, you have to change the file names to remove the "-blank" and also change the uppercase D to a lowercase d, as Linux IS case sensitive, and will not read the file if you dont change it. Also ALWAYS a good idea to make or keep a copy of the original files for the disaster scenario! --edit by DianeHelen 09/09/09

You'll see a long list of files that are in this directory.
We'll backup the current images to the USB accessible storage first in case we need to revert back to them (cp - copy)

cp /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.phone/images/popup-icon-missed.png /media/internal/
</nowiki></pre>

==STEP THREE:==

Now click on the USB icon on the Pre's notification area, and switch to USB Storage mode.

You can now copy the files off of the Pre and edit them any way you want, just make sure they have the same properties as the orig (transparency, file extention, etc). The 'background editing' article mentions to keeps these files the same size, however I did not and the phone still worked. I already created a theme (the one pictured above) and will upload the images later today. I changed the colors on the buttons using paint.net and the 'change color' brush. It was time consuming, but I think it was worth it.

Once they are edited to your liking, copy the files back to the Pre in USB mode with the same file name.

Edit & Discussion (by ultraBlack): It might be easier to use [[Setup_SFTP|SFTP]] to do this.

==STEP FOUR:==

Eject your Pre from your computer, wait for WiFi to log back into your network, and SSH into the Pre again. Your old window probably timed out by now, so you can close it.
We'll need to get the files back to the correct location, so we'll use the copy (cp) command to do this.

</nowiki></pre>

Once this is done, exit the SSH session (type 'exit') and reboot the Pre from the Device Info menu. When it comes back up you should see your new theme on the dialpad screen.

------

Edit: Wouldn't this be a million times easier with wildcards?
Edit: Also might suggest creating a folder in /media/internal rather than putting all this stuff in the root dir. Could get messy. Also if you use a hidden dir on /media/internal I think it will prevent the images from showing up in the photo browser on the phone. Maybe add "mkdir /media/internal/.theme/" and "mkdir /media/internal/.theme/dialer".

Please feel free to edit this page if you think something can be done better. This is how I did it, and I figured people could copy/paste into terminal/PuTTY, however if you see something that you think can be done better in this tutorial, please edit it for the better!

=== Editing the "Enter Number or Name..." Text Color===

It was driving me slightly crazy that there's a slight greenish tint to the writing above the dialpad.

Easy fix.

Open '''/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.phone/stylesheets/dialpad.css'''

For versions 1.2 and 1.2.1 - Go to line 65 and change:

<pre><nowiki>
.text-input.hinttext {
color: #bcceb3;
font-size: 16px;
padding: 0 60px 0 40px;
overflow: hidden;
white-space: nowrap;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
</nowiki></pre>

to:

<pre><nowiki>
.text-input.hinttext {
color: #ffffff;
font-size: 16px;
padding: 0 60px 0 40px;
overflow: hidden;
white-space: nowrap;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
</nowiki></pre>

=== Blank Dialer Pad Graphics ===

Here are the 8 files needed to create your own dial pad.
They are blank and ready for you to add text or graphics to!

Simply use a graphic editor to add what ever numbers or text
you'd like and you're good to go!

Just make sure that when you save them to the PRE, you have to change the file names to remove the "-blank" and also change the uppercase D to a lowercase d, as Linux IS case sensitive, and will not read the file if you dont change it. Also ALWAYS a good idea to make or keep a copy of the original files for the disaster scenario! --edit by DianeHelen 09/09/09

Patch webOS Change Carrier String

2009-10-03T21:42:34Z

Jmartino2011: updated line numbers

{{template:patch}}
[[Image:Change-carrier-string.jpg|right]]
[[Image:Carrier-string2.jpg|right]]

Further testing has revealed that editing bar-scene.html fails. The following is a revised mod as a result of that testing.

Also, a point of interest - there is a lot more code in this, referencing SIM cards and other carrier type information. It's obvious that Palm is getting the WebOS ready for other carriers.

----

Want to change the Sprint text in the upper left hand corner to something more interesting? Maybe your name or different carrier to fake out your friends? Well here’s how:

You’ll need to: [[Portal:Accessing Linux | Access to Linux ]]

Log in and execute the following commands:
<pre><nowiki>
sudo -i
</nowiki></pre>
Unlock the file system:
<pre><nowiki>
mount -o remount,rw /
</nowiki></pre>
Change the directory:
<pre><nowiki>
cd /
</nowiki></pre>
Back up your old file in case you screw up or want to revert your changes:
<pre><nowiki>
cp /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/app/controllers/bar-assistant.js /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/app/controllers/bar-assistant.js.bak
</nowiki></pre>
Edit the following:
<pre><nowiki>
vi /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/app/controllers/bar-assistant.js
</nowiki></pre>

For version 1.2 and 1.2.1 - Go to line 483 (either scroll down or type :483 and hit enter) and make the following change. To edit a file through command line, press "i" on your keyboard and a "I" should show up on the bottom line of your program. You can then make whatever edits you need to. When you are done editing, hit "Esc" and then type ":wq" to save the file and get back to the command prompt.

(For version 1.0.4 - Go to line 440. For version 1.1.0 - make the changes on lines 429, 444 & 467.)

Of course, instead of using "Verizon" you can use what ever string you would like.
<pre><nowiki>
//$('carrier').innerHTML = this.carrierText
$('carrier').innerHTML = $L("Verizon");
</nowiki></pre>

Turning on and off Airplane Mode brings back the "sprint". To get it to show your string like "Verizon" again;

For version 1.2 and 1.2.1 - Go to line 830 (type :830) and make the following change.

(For version 1.0.4 - Go to line 698. For version 1.1.0 - Go to line 800.)

<pre><nowiki>
//$('carrier').innerHTML = this.carrierText;
$('carrier').innerHTML = $L("Verizon");
</nowiki></pre>
Lock your file system:
<pre><nowiki>
mount -o remount ro /
</nowiki></pre>
Restart LunaSysMgr:
<pre><nowiki>
/sbin/initctl stop LunaSysMgr
/sbin/initctl start LunaSysMgr
</nowiki></pre>

OR

<pre><nowiki>
stop LunaSysMgr && start LunaSysMgr
</nowiki></pre>

== To Modify the Font Color ==

If you would like to modify the color of the carrier text, you must edit the appropriate .css file.

With the filesystem still unlocked in rw mode, back up the following file:

<pre><nowiki>
cp /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/stylesheets/systemui.css /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/stylesheets/systemui.css.bak
</nowiki></pre>

Now edit the file with vi:
<pre><nowiki>
vi /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/stylesheets/systemui.css
</nowiki></pre>

Search to the line beginning with ''#carrier'' (line #93) and modify the color attribute from the default hex value of #fff to the desired [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors HTML color] of your choice. The example below shows a red color.

<pre><nowiki>
#carrier {
float: left;
color: #E01000;
margin-left: 2px;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
</nowiki></pre>

If you would like to modify the color of the clock, make the following change to line #44 (approximate). This will change the color of the clock to red-orange or something like that. I used blue (0000FF) for the carrier string, so I have an orange and blue (I go to Univ. of FL) theme goin on.

<pre><nowiki>
#date-and-time {
color: #FF8C00;
position: fixed;
margin: 1px 0 0 0;
top: 0;
left: 0;
height: 28px;
width: 100%;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
}
</nowiki></pre>

Then you can lock the filesystem and restart LunaSysMgr as above:
<pre><nowiki>
mount -o remount,ro /
/sbin/initctl stop LunaSysMgr
/sbin/initctl start LunaSysMgr
</nowiki></pre>

== Modifying the Phone App ==
The changes shown above modify the main view on the page. The changes listed below will modify the Phone App as well

Follow the instructions above on mounting the file system. Also, if you have not backed up your '''orignal''' bar-assistant.js file, be sure to do so. Do not back it up a second time, as this will overwrite your clean original.

Make the following changes on lines 214 & 239 (on WebOS 1.1):

<pre><nowiki>
//$('appname').innerHTML = this.carrierText
$('appname').innerHTML = $L("Verizon");
</nowiki></pre>

Again, substituting "Verizon" with your string of choice.

Remount the file system as ro , and stop and restart LunaSysMgr

Patch Messaging Jump Forward, Backward One Word at a Time

2009-09-05T17:16:58Z

Jmartino2011: /* Description */

{{template:patch}}
= Summary =
'''Sym+f''' : jump backwards one word 
'''Sym+g''' : jump forwards one word
= Description =
It's very easy to fat finger while thumbing out a message and difficult to tap the cursor into the right position to correct a typo. Not having arrow keys to move the cursor drove me nuts, especially when the typo was near the submit icon -- oops accidentally sent garbage because my fingertip wasn't sharp enough. This patch allows Sym+f to jump backwards one word and Sym+g to jump forward one word. This, plus the built-in '''Sym'''+Backspace to delete the current word makes fixing typos much easier. Most other Sym+key combinations are shortcuts for other symbols but f and g were unused.

= Prerequisites=
* Rooted phone.

= Process=
# Log in as root.
# Mount the file system as RW.
# Enter the '''/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.messaging/app/controllers''' directory.
# In '''chatview-assistant.js''', locate the ''handleTextAreaUp'' event handler near line 1680 ('''1800 for me'''):

It's very easy to fat finger while thumbing out a message and difficult to tap the cursor into the right position to correct a typo. Not having arrow keys to move the cursor drove me nuts, especially when the typo was near the submit icon -- oops accidentally sent garbage because my fingertip wasn't sharp enough. This patch allows Sym+f to jump backwards one word and Sym+g to jump forward one word. This, plus the built-in Shift+Backspace to delete the current word makes fixing typos much easier. Most other Sym+key combinations are shortcuts for other symbols but f and g were unused.

= Prerequisites=
* Rooted phone.

= Process=
# Log in as root.
# Mount the file system as RW.
# Enter the '''/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.messaging/app/controllers''' directory.
# In '''chatview-assistant.js''', locate the ''handleTextAreaUp'' event handler near line 1680 ('''1800 for me'''):

Patch webOS Change Carrier String

Jmartino2011: /* To Modify the Font Color */

{{template:patch}}
[[Image:Change-carrier-string.jpg|right]]
[[Image:Carrier-string2.jpg|right]]

Further testing has revealed that editing bar-scene.html fails. The following is a revised mod as a result of that testing.

[[Update 1.1.0|WebOS 1.1]] changed the line numbers, the 1.1 lines are now shown.

Also, a point of interest - there is a lot more code in this, referencing SIM cards and other carrier type information. It's obvious that Palm is getting the WebOS ready for other carriers.

----

Want to change the Sprint text in the upper left hand corner to something more interesting? Maybe your name or different carrier to fake out your friends? Well here’s how:

You’ll need to: [[Portal:Accessing Linux | Access to Linux ]]

Log in and execute the following commands:
<pre><nowiki>
sudo -i
</nowiki></pre>
Unlock the file system:
<pre><nowiki>mount -o remount,rw /
</nowiki></pre>
Back up your old file in case you screw up or want to revert your changes:
<pre><nowiki>
cp /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/app/controllers/bar-assistant.js /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/app/controllers/bar-assistant.js.bak
</nowiki></pre>
Edit the following:
<pre><nowiki>
vi /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/app/controllers/bar-assistant.js
</nowiki></pre>
Go to line 440 and make this change (on [[update_1.0.4]]).

On [[Update 1.1.0]] make the changes on lines 429, 444 & 467.

Of course, instead of using "Verizon" you can use what ever string you would like.
<pre><nowiki>
//$('carrier').innerHTML = this.carrierText
$('carrier').innerHTML = $L("Verizon");
</nowiki></pre>

Turning on and off Airplane Mode brings back the "sprint". To get it to show your string like "Verizon" again;

On update 1.0.4 goto line 698 and make the change below:

On update 1.1, make the change on line 800:

<pre><nowiki>
//$('carrier').innerHTML = this.carrierText;
$('carrier').innerHTML = $L("Verizon");
</nowiki></pre>
Lock your file system:
<pre><nowiki>
mount -o remount ro /
</nowiki></pre>
Restart LunaSysMgr:
<pre><nowiki>
/sbin/initctl stop LunaSysMgr
/sbin/initctl start LunaSysMgr
</nowiki></pre>

== To Modify the Font Color ==

If you would like to modify the color of the carrier text, you must edit the appropriate .css file.

With the filesystem still unlocked in rw mode, back up the following file:

<pre><nowiki>
cp /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/stylesheets/systemui.css /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/stylesheets/systemui.css.bak
</nowiki></pre>

Now edit the file with vi:
<pre><nowiki>
vi /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/stylesheets/systemui.css
</nowiki></pre>

Search to the line beginning with ''#carrier'' (line #93) and modify the color attribute from the default hex value of #fff to the desired [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors HTML color] of your choice. The example below shows a red color.

<pre><nowiki>
#carrier {
float: left;
color: #E01000;
margin-left: 2px;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
</nowiki></pre>

If you would like to modify the color of the clock, make the following change to line #44 (approximate). This will change the color of the clock to red-orange or something like that. I used blue (0000FF) for the carrier string, so I have an orange and blue (I go to Univ. of FL) theme goin on.

<pre><nowiki>
#date-and-time {
color: #FF8C00;
position: fixed;
margin: 1px 0 0 0;
top: 0;
left: 0;
height: 28px;
width: 100%;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
}
</nowiki></pre>

Then you can lock the filesystem and restart LunaSysMgr as above:
<pre><nowiki>
mount -o remount,ro /
/sbin/initctl stop LunaSysMgr
/sbin/initctl start LunaSysMgr
</nowiki></pre>

== Modifying the Phone App ==
The changes shown above modify the main view on the page. The changes listed below will modify the Phone App as well

Follow the instructions above on mounting the file system. Also, if you have not backed up your '''orignal''' bar-assistant.js file, be sure to do so. Do not back it up a second time, as this will overwrite your clean original.

Make the following changes on lines 214 & 239 (on WebOS 1.1):

<pre><nowiki>
//$('appname').innerHTML = this.carrierText
$('appname').innerHTML = $L("Verizon");
</nowiki></pre>

Again, substituting "Verizon" with your string of choice.

Remount the file system as ro , and stop and restart LunaSysMgr

Patch webOS Boot Themes

2009-09-02T02:56:50Z

Jmartino2011: Added text to make the instructions more newbie friendly...telling them to sudo the commands to avoid error messages

{{template:patch}}
When the Pre is booting or shutting down, the screen fades between two images - ''/palm-logo.png'' and ''/palm-logo-bright.png'' located in ''/usr/palm/sysmgr/images''. By replacing either or both of these images, the boot logo can be customized. This requires [[Portal:Accessing_Linux | access to the Pre's OS]].

Works with: 1.0.3, 1.1

== Replacing the Files==

'''Step One'''
Log into the phone via ssh and copy the files to the USB drive.
<pre><nowiki>
#/if your login account does not have root permission, you must sudo the commands...the following assumes you do not have root permission
#/if you do not use sudo and do not have root permission, you will get Permission Denied errors...
sudo mkdir /media/internal/bootlogo
sudo cp /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo* /media/internal/bootlogo
</nowiki></pre>

'''Step Two'''
Modify the files with your favorite editor (Gimp, Photoshop, ImageMagick, MS Paint, etc.)

'''Step Three'''
Save the new images to the ''bootlogo'' directory on the Pre's USB drive.

'''Step Four'''
Log into the phone via ssh, remount the root filesystem read-write, backup the existing files, copy the new images into place, and remount the root filesystem read-only.
<pre><nowiki>
sudo mount -o rw,remount /
sudo cp -ip /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo.png /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo.png.orig
sudo cp -ip /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo-bright.png /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo-bright.png.orig
sudo cp /media/internal/bootlogo/palm-logo.png /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo.png
sudo cp /media/internal/bootlogo/palm-logo-bright.png /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo-bright.png
sudo mount -o ro,remount /
</nowiki></pre>

'''Step Five'''
Restart Luna and watch your awesome new logo.
<pre><nowiki>
pkill LunaSysMgr
</nowiki></pre>

== Taking it to the Next Step==

With a small bit of scripting, we can have separate boot and shutdown themes. The first thing to do is to create regular and "bright" images for booting and shutting down. Save the new images to the ''bootlogo'' directory on the Pre's USB drive. (Steps 1-3 above).

'''Step One'''
Log into the phone via ssh, remount the root filesystem read-write, and create a directory in /opt to store the new images. We're using /opt, as the script we'll modify later will copy files, and /usr is mounted read-only.
<pre><nowiki>
sudo mount -o rw,remount /
sudo mkdir -p /opt/share/bootimages
</nowiki></pre>

'''Step Two'''
Copy the new images to /opt/share/bootimages, naming them palm-logo-up.png, palm-logo-up-bright.png, palm-logo-down.png and palm-logo-down-bright.png. Additionally, copy the shutdown files to palm-logo.png and palm-logo-bright.png.
<pre><nowiki>
cd /opt/share/bootimages/
sudo cp /media/internal/bootlogo/<boot image> palm-logo-up.png
sudo cp /media/internal/bootlogo/<bright boot image> palm-logo-up-bright.png
sudo cp /media/internal/bootlogo/<shutdown image> palm-logo-down.png
sudo cp /media/internal/bootlogo/<bright shutdown image> palm-logo-down-bright.png
sudo cp palm-logo-down.png palm-logo.png
sudo cp palm-logo-down-bright.png palm-logo-bright.png
</nowiki></pre>

'''Step Three'''
Backup the current logo images, if you haven't already.
<pre><nowiki>
sudo cp -ip /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo.png /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo.png.orig
sudo cp -ip /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo-bright.png /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/palm-logo-bright.png.orig
</nowiki></pre>

'''Step Four'''
Delete the current logo images and replace them with symlinks to the files in our new directory in /opt
<pre><nowiki>
cd /usr/palm/sysmgr/images/
sudo rm palm-logo-bright.png
sudo rm palm-logo.png
sudo ln -s ../../../../../opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-bright.png palm-logo-bright.png
sudo ln -s ../../../../../opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo.png palm-logo.png
</nowiki></pre>

'''Step Five'''
Back up and edit /etc/init.d/start_animation, adding the switching of the files
<pre><nowiki>
sudo cp -ip /etc/init.d/start_animation /etc/init.d/start_animation.orig
sudo -e /etc/init.d/start_animation
</nowiki></pre>
Before the line starting with ''if [ -x /usr/bin/luna-send'' add the following:
<pre><nowiki>
ok=no
if [ -f /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-up.png ] && \
[ -f /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-up-bright.png ] && \
[ -f /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-down.png ] && \
[ -f /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-down-bright.png ] ; then
cp /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-down.png /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo.png
cp /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-down-bright.png /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-bright.png
ok=yes
fi
</nowiki></pre>
At the very end of the file, add the following:
<pre><nowiki>
if [ "$ok" = "yes" ] ; then
sleep 5
cp /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-up.png /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo.png
cp /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-up-bright.png /opt/share/bootimages/palm-logo-bright.png
fi
</nowiki></pre>

'''Step Six'''
Restart Luna and watch your awesome new logos.
<pre><nowiki>
pkill LunaSysMgr
</nowiki></pre>
