Introduction
A number of users have requested adding timestamps to each message that arrives on the device. Palm actually goes out of their way to group messages that have arrived during various time intervals, but if you'd prefer to see a timestamp on each message, simply follow the instructions below.
Procedure
- Remount the file system as read/write
- cd to /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.messaging/app/controllers/
- Backup chatview-assistant.js (just to be safe)
- Open chatview-assistant.js and comment out the following lines:
* 1169 - line that starts with: if(!ChatFlags. * 1177 - line that starts with: if(today-msg. * 1179 - first closing bracket on its own line: } * 1180 - second closing bracket on its own line: }
- Save the file and exit the editor
- Remount the file system as read-only
- Logout of your root session
- Reboot the device
You should now see a full timestamp on all received messages.
