[patch] Date As Carrier String

[freddysmith]

Running 1.4.5 on my pre with Date as Carrier String patch installed.

I run a large font and on occasion the date string runs into the time string.

I changed the date format by editing
/usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/app/controllers/bar-assistant.js

I added the following function:

myFormattedDate: function() {
    var myDayLabels   = new Array("Su", "M", "Tu", "W", "Th", "F", "Sa");
    var myMonthLabels = new Array("Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "June", "July", "Aug", "Sept", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec");
    var myDate        = new Date();

    var myDayLabel    = myDayLabels[myDate.getDay()];
    var myDayOfMonth  = myDate.getDate();
    var myMonthLabel  = myMonthLabels[myDate.getMonth()];
    var my2DigitYear  = myDate.getFullYear()%100;

    // Tu 21 Sept 10
    return String(myDayLabel+" "+myDayOfMonth+" "+myMonthLabel+" "+my2DigitYear);
},

and then changed

     this.carrierText = new Date().toDateString();

to

     this.carrierText = this.myFormattedDate();

in the five places it occurs.

It looks like this now:

Can someone make the date as carrier string without year and month (e.g., "Sun 12", "Mon 13", "Tue 14", etc.)?

• Date As Carrier String
• Date As Carrier String No Year
• Date As Carrier String No Year With Time Shown While Locked
• Date As Carrier String With Time Shown While Locked

In Preware I see #1, #2, #4... but not #3. If figures that #3 is the one I am after :-)

Edit: Ahh i found it here. Installing via Internalz. Seems it got missed in the Preware upload?

Here's my patches for webOS 2.0.1

Jason,

I would love to use your patch "date-as-carrier-string.patch" or "date-as-carrier-string-no-year.patch."

I am using webos 2.2 on my new Palm 3 and am getting errors when I try to install the above patches (for webOS 2.0.1).

Is there an update? Anybody successful with webOS 2.2+?

Thanks so much,
Christy
