Showing the DAY of the week on the Home Screen (tested on Sprint)

**TheBundo** · #1 (**permalink**) 01-07-2010, 05:50 AM

I figured out how to do this from the TP1 threads on the subject, but I don't think I've seen anything in the TP2 section on it. I have included the modified file, which is named 590ad244_manila and is located in the Windows folder. I modified it on my PC by making a copy on the TP2, sending it to the computer, editing it with Notepad, sending it back, and using Total Commander to Move it into the Windows folder. I couldn't get the Read-Only attribute to stick in a turned off condition, but Total Commander worked by using the Move function. YOU HAVE TO HAVE TF3D TURNED OFF when doing this. Then turn TF3D back on, and you screen should look like the screenshot. The file is in the next post, it wouldn't load without an extention, so I put ".cab" on the end. REMOVE the ".cab" first.

Okay, the manilla file didn't upload, so I put an extention on it, ".cab". It is NOT a cab file, though, and you must remove the ".cab" first.

Here is the code in the file, after the modification. Near the top, you will see <trans-unit id="IDS_DATEFORMAT">, and below that <source>ddd MMM d, yyyy</source>. I just added the ddd and the space after it.

its time for you to move on to jds rom

**TheBundo** · #6 (**permalink**) 01-07-2010, 06:07 PM

has anyone tried this an any other carrier yet? It should work, though doing the manually might be advisable

**japper88** · #7 (**permalink**) 01-07-2010, 06:24 PM

I'm guessing this will only work with touchflo3d from the stock rom? Any change of getting this to work on Manila 2.1?

Sweet and thanks! I manually edited the file and I got it working on Manila 2.1 (MightyROM 1/4 release). I even made a cab for it (FOR MANILA 2.1).
So now it is displayed as follows: "Thu, Jan 7, 2010"

EDIT: WARNING apparently one of the mods I have installed (clear call history/calendar text) changed the manila file I created and might clear those texts from your screen (fyi if you do have a missed call or a calendar item they will show up).

Just installed this to my MightyROM 01/04 ROM.

It jacked up the homescreen for call history and calendar. The day is in fact working but I had to uninstall. I did soft reset after install.
