Roam Control
Creating a "Roam Only" mode
By default, the Pre has no "Roam Only" mode. For fringe Sprint service areas, this can be very annoying, as the phone will tend to prefer a weak Sprint signal versus a strong Verizon/Other CDMA signal. We can enable this mode fairly easily.
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
line 208 (WebOS 1.1 line 227), find:
{label : $L("Automatic"),value: "any"}
- and replace with:
{label : $L("Automatic"),value: "any"},
{label : "Roam Only",value: "roamonly"}
line 994-1003 (WebOS 1.1 lines 1229-1233) find:
if(payload.extended.mode == 'any') {
this.voiceRoamingModel.currentVoiceRoaming = "any";
$('dataroamingrow').show();
$('voiceRoamingRow').removeClassName('last');
}
- and add below:
else if(payload.extended.mode == 'roamonly') {
this.voiceRoamingModel.currentVoiceRoaming = "roamonly";
$('dataroamingrow').show();
$('voiceRoamingRow').removeClassName('last');
}
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
