Patch Messaging Display Full Status Messages

From WebOS Internals
Jump to navigation Jump to search


This mod will expand the truncated status messages in the messenger under Buddy List. Works in 1.2, but forgot to check line numbers, so search based on context.

Step 1: Make yourself root. 

sudo -i

Step 2: Unlock file system 

mount -o remount,rw /

Step 3: Open /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.messaging/stylesheets/messaging.css 

vi /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.messaging/stylesheets/messaging.css

Step 4: Go to line 167 

:167

Should be 

.buddy-list .palm-row {
    height: 60px;
}

Step 5: Replace 

height: 60px;

with 

height: auto;


Step 6: Open /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.messaging/app/views/listview/buddyList-row.html 

vi /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.messaging/app/views/listview/buddyList-row.html

Step 7: Go to line 11 

:11

should be 

<div class="truncating-text custom-message">#{-customMessage}</div>

Step 8: Replace 

<div class="truncating-text custom-message">#{-customMessage}</div>

with 

<div class="custom-message">#{-customMessage}</div>

Issues

Not quite sure why but sometimes in the buddies view the group names are shifted over to the right. Had this issue on both 1.1 and 1.2. See image below for example:
