Roam Control
Creating a "Roam Only" mode
This will allow users to add "Roam Only" mode to WebOS 1.3.1 Palm Pre.
Procedure
SSH in to rooted Pre Mount filesystem as r/w, navigate to phoneprefs folder and create a backup of current preflist-assistant.js
mount -o remount,rw / cd /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.phoneprefs/app/controllers cp preflist-assistant.js preflist-assistant.js.bak
Edit preflist-assistant.js
vi preflist-assistant.js
At line 240 (WebOS 1.3.1), find:
{label : $L("Automatic"),value: "any"}
- and replace with:
{label : $L("Automatic"),value: "any"},
{label : $L("Roam Only"),value: "roamonly"}
At lines 1457-1460 (WebOS 1.3.1) find:
if(payload.extended.mode == 'any') {
this.voiceRoamingModel.currentVoiceRoaming = "any";
$('dataroamingrow').show();
}
- and add below:
else if(payload.extended.mode == 'roamonly') {
this.voiceRoamingModel.currentVoiceRoaming = "roamonly";
$('dataroamingrow').show();
}
At lines 1449-1455 (WebOS 1.3.1) find:
if(this.voiceRoamingChoices.length = 3) {
This.voiceRoamingChoices[1] = {
label: $L("Automatic"),
value: "any"
};
this.voiceRoamingChoices.pop();
}
Add // in front of each line to comment it out. Save the file
Mount the filesystem as r/o, reboot the phone and, from the dialer, go to Preferences and test out your new mode!
mount -o remount,ro / reboot

Scripting possibilities
You can use luna-send to change these settings from the command line. I run this bash (not sh) script from cron to change to roamonly whenever my phone is connected to my access point because my carrier's signal is poor where I live and calls are dropped in automatic mode.
NOTE: This Script is Only Verified to Work with WebOS <= 1.3.5.1
