==Introduction==
Changing the "Turn off after X" time in the Palm Pre ("Screen and Lock Menu")

By Townsend Harris ("tharris-" IRC channel)

Ultimately what this does is allow you to change the idle time value that turns the pre off. So this setting tells the pre "After X seconds of activity go to sleep". Now for me I wanted say 5 minutes so I can test stuff, but the average person might be ok
with the 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, or 3minutes, now we have an option.

SPECIAL NOTE: Changing this value to less than 30 seconds means you better be acting fast, as a side note I was able to
set the value to 1 second and still operate the pre (I do not recommend this), but I had to be very fast. Also changing
this value to a high number *can* drain your battery so be aware.

If all you want to do is keep the screen on while charging, you can set that using luna-send. Your screen will stay on when on usb power and wall power. When on the Touchstone, the Pre will still go back to the "lock" screen after the timeout period.

<pre><nowiki>luna-send -n 1 palm://com.palm.display/control/setProperty '{"onWhenConnected":true}'</nowiki></pre>

==Editing Process==

Steps:

1) Access Linux on your phone: [[Portal:Accessing_Linux]]

2) SSH to your pre and sudo to root. Execute "rootfs_open -w".

3) make a copy of the original "/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.screenlock/app/controllers/securityconfig-assistant.js" file by executing the following:

"'''cp /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.screenlock/app/controllers/securityconfig-assistant.js /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.screenlock/app/controllers/securityconfig-assistant.js.org"'''

4) edit the /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.screenlock/app/controllers/securityconfig-assistant.js file

Goto line '''102''' (WebOS 1.1: Line '''111''', WebOS 1.2: Line '''117''') which should like like:

<pre><nowiki>
**//Available Timer Values.
availableTimers: "[{label: $L('30 seconds'), value:30},{label: $L('1 minute'), value:60},{label: $L('2 minutes'), value:120},{label: $L('3 minutes'), value:180}],"**
</nowiki></pre>

and add this to the end of the string inside the last "]": ",{label: $L('5 Minutes'), value:300}" and edit it as you see fit. This will add "5 Minutes" to the drop down menu. You can add further options as you require (i.e. 30 minutes, 3 hours, etc.).

REMEMBER the value is based on '''SECONDS'''

5) Execute a rescan by running "luna-send -n 1 palm://com.palm.applicationManager/rescan {}" on the command line.

6) Execute "mount -o remount,ro /".

Voila you have changed your idle timeouts.
