I just changed phones from a Pre Plus to a Pre 2 and am having trouble finding a combination of patches to configure the phone the way I want. I could not find a way to do what I want using Sconix's Advanced System patches, but may be wrong. My desires and what I am currently using are -

1. Show day and month in top bar - Add Date MM DD.
2. Show remaining battery life as a percentage - Battery percent as icon.
3. Icon showing when phone ringer is muted - Ringer switch icon.
4. Mute charging tone - This is my problem, I cannot get Charging Alert Sound Preference to install. The Charging Alert Vibrate patch works. Vibrating is better than the charging chime, but I would prefer to be able to mute the chime.
5. Power button options - Advanced reset options.

Except for not being able to kill the charging chime, I like the Pre 2 enough to stay with a webos phone a little longer.

Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

What webOS version 2.1.0 or 2.2.4?

I use webOS 2.2.4 some patches for webOS 2.2.4 work well on Pre3 but do not work well on Pre2/PrePlus with webOS 2.2.4...

So here is my list for what you want?
1. Show day and month in top bar - Add Date MM DD.
I used Add Date MM DD from webOS 2.1.1-22 (either add webOS 2.1.1 feed in PreWare or go get the IPK and side load with WOSQI)
2. Show remaining battery life as a percentage - Battery percent as icon.
I used Battery Percent and Icon from webOS 2.1.2-31 (either add webOS 2.1.2 feed in PreWare or go get the IPK and side load with WOSQI)
3. Icon showing when phone ringer is muted - Ringer switch icon.
Do not use this function but if there is a patch for webOS 2.1.x I would try it?
4. Mute charging tone - This is my problem, I cannot get Charging Alert Sound Preference to install. The Charging Alert Vibrate patch works. Vibrating is better than the charging chime, but I would prefer to be able to mute the chime.
Do not use this function but if there is a patch for webOS 2.1.x I would try it?
5. Power button options - Advanced reset options.
I used Advanced Reset Options V2.2.4-14 and it worked fine.

Let me know if those worked for you?

John,
Thanks for the suggestions. I am using 2.1.0 on Verizon. Your suggestions for 1, 2, and 5 definitely work. The charging chime is driving me nuts. I figured out that I can turn off system sounds and the chime goes away, but there are a few apps, camera and calculator, where I like having the feedback sounds.

You can just replace the chime sound file with a "blank" sound file... i'm not sure which file it is (google?), but it's a really simple thing to fix.

Once you know the file path, you just send the renamed blank file using WOSQI

I created two meta doctor scripts for webOS 2.2.4 for Verizon, so if you wish to upgrade to latest let me know...

I also created an update webOS 2.1.0 script, if you really like webOS 2.1.0 better...

I prefer webOS 2.2.4, but not sure on the system sounds...

There is a method of renaming the sound file, if you really want to stop it.

This sounds familiar. I will try to do this or at least replace the chime with something that does not bother me.
