Hi, I have almost eveything set the way I want but my last issue is the vibration intensity is too low. In gingerbread & foyo there was an intensity slider bar under Settings/Sound but no where to be found on ICS. I even installed an app to set custom vibration patterns to vibrate longer but I can't feel it in my pocket.
Does anyone know know how to increase the intensity for calls & notifications?
Thanks!
I didn't even realize that. I came from CM7 to ICS, and CM7's haptic feedback setting were amazing. Though in ICS. The Vibration seems powerful enough for me. My issue is not having the ringer, and notification volumes seperated.

under sound/volumes you need to deselect link volumes.
not found.
I'm using Team Hacksung's ROM. I can't find the option you mentioned anywhere. I'm guessing it's not implemented yet? I'll go ask over there. Thanks.
Yeah the vibration intensity is low on ICS. But I found out the only way to get normal vibration (like in Gingerbread) for Message Notification was to use a different Message app, like "GO SMS Pro" which gives me the normal vibration when I get incoming messages. So try using "GO SMS Pro" and see if it works for you.

App to control this
Do you know if there's an app or something to control this in ICS? The default haptic feedback is much to weak for my tastes.
Semaphore kernel allows vibration intensity control in v 1.0.0, and with that you can use NStools

I checked NSTools, and it doesn't mention being able to change vibration intensity.
Is it the kernel itself that allows this to be set? If so, is it a compiled option in the kernel, or what?
I'm not sure I understand how this tool works in conjunction with this kernel to allow setting this.

Pretty sure you need a kernel that supports it

Ok, thanks a lot. Going to see what they did, and see if it can be applied to the HTC Desire Z...

Hi!
I'm new in this Forum and want to thank all you for your helpful posts!
I searched a lot, but I didn't find any solution for this problem (which seems to irritate also other users):
After upgrading to Android 2.2.1, 'Auto Brightness' does not work anymore. The problem is, that the Display gets brighter in the sun, but it does not reduce brightness in shade - which is very battery intense and irritating while driving in tunnels.
What I did so far:
+ checked and unchecked the 'Auto Brightness' setting many times ;-)
+ used widgets like 'extended controls' in the hope their settings will overwrite the problematic system-settings
+ was searching for the app "Auto Brightness" (SIMMO Publications) - which might be able to overwrite system settings. But downloading this app is not available for me (maybe because of country restrictions)
+ I rooted the phone - also for other reasons. With root I hope I can also reduce the minimum brightness level of 'Auto Brightness', which would be helpful using it as an alarmclock next to the bed.
Does anybody have an idea?
Best wishes from Austria!
No ideas to the Auto-Brightness Problem? People from Android-Pit-Forum didn't find a solution. So I changed to the forum with the best reputation ....XDA.. ;-)
It seems, that the light-sensor works well... because the button-light goes on and off according to the surrounding light intensity ...
Any idea or hint?
that's not a bug, that's a feature!
anyway - CM7 has the option just like you ask for - auto adjusting brightness to lower setting. there are also hysteresis options so you can prevent the brigtness going up and down all the time.

Thanx MuF123 for your answer!
This feature sounds great ... but I feel not ready to install CM7. All in all I am happy with my system right now. I learnded in the last two Android-years, that big changes for solving small problems can cause even more problems and time-intense problem solving actions... especially for me as a beginner.
So, does anybody know about a root-app or a module (eg. out of CM7) just for solving this auto brightness bug/feature ;-) ?
It would be very helpfull for me and others ...
this feature is in
Settings > CM Extra > Display > Automatic backlight > "Allow light decrease"
I wanted to tell you just so you can ask someone else about this exact feature, maybe the "CM Extra" can be installed as stand-alone app? Dunno, try to ask in CM7 thread.

Hi!
Unfortunately I am not allowed to post into the developement-forum...
Senior User 'MuF123' informed me, that CM7 has this feature, which I miss a lot (Settings > CM Extra > Display > Automatic backlight > "Allow light decrease").
My questions:
Can the app "CM Extra" be installed as stand-alone app in my rooted Milestone with Froyo 2.2.1?
Or is there another solution for me?
Not possible. Its integrated to the framework.

You mentioned an app "Auto Brightness" (SIMMO Publications) before. try to download that app after faking your network using "marketenabler" from market.
just my 2 cents
You can try the widgetsoid app from market.
Great idea!
Thanx. First I have to reanimate my milestone ... I killed it with deinstalling all Launchers ... stupidity pure

I tested widgetsoid ... but it didn't work.
The app "Auto Brightness" (SIMMO Publications) is not in the market any more ...
... hmm any ideas, how to solve this problem? See my starting post below...

Hi mates..
Currently I own an HTC Flyer, been an HTC fan and would like to try this beast as it seems amazing, one thing though:
Is it possible to use the capacitive buttons as a notification LED? Thats the only thing why I would prefer the Galaxy Nexus over this as in every other aspect I think this beast wins easily..
Much appreciated, thanks..
Good question. If you could flash the capacitive buttons when you have a pending message that would be cool. But I don't know sorry. Just supporting this question.
I'm thinking though that those lights aren't as efficient as a normal LED? Too much battery usage?
I have a Samsung captivate, which has similar buttons. certain kernels would include this feature with an app called BLN. Had to be baked into the kernel to work though
The streak had an app called streakled which worked as long as the phone was rooted.

Just only root? cause the post above you says it has to be in the kernel..
Thanks for the reply mate

It is possible use the NoLed app for notification on the amoled display.
yes, just root. But there may have been differences in the way the captivate and the streak handled capacitive buttons which would allow the streak to have just root access but require kernel changes for the captivate. However, I dont know enough about such things to say what.

Hi, generally, it's possible using app called BLN control. However, that app requires a kernel support which is not yet stable for Note AFAIK.
I'm currently using NoLED which I do recommend - it works very well apart from a few glitches here and there (sometimes, the power button will not activate lock screen when NoLED notification is active - it would turn NoLED notification on/off. In that case I just have to use home button instead).
I would probably prefer BLN as it's simpler and should offer some battery saving against NoLED (possibly negligible) so I hope somebody makes a stable BLN patch for kernel. OTOH NoLED displays differently coloured icons for various events which is nice.

Hi mate thanks for the reply
Do you know if BLN works with CF-Root kernel?as that might be the only kernel I would flash on my Note when I have it..
EDIT: a quick question: does BLN work with lock replacements apps eg. WidgetLocker? I noticed that NoLED only work with stock lock..
Thanks again

As I said, one of the devs tried the BLN patches but said the kernel was then unstable so they are not included in any of the currently available kernels AFAIK.
I'm currently on Abyss 1.2 kernel and I can so far highly recommend it. Let's see in a few days.

I can't confirm that. I'm using WidgetLocker and my NoLED notifications work fine (just tested with a missed call). The only slight hiccup is that after you wake up the screen with the notification the stock lock screen is shown instead of WidgetLocker. I've got a feeling there is probably a way around this - spotted a HomeHelper in the WidgetLocker settings that should handle the Home button in certain situations (presumably like this one). Haven't been bothered enough to mess with these settings yet

Thanks alot mate, really appreciate it

but im on ICS rom now..in setting didnt find got vibrete intensive..
i try midnight kernel 1st.
Semaphore and Midnight (maybe others) have a vibration sensitivity setting.
Since you mentioned it was too strong when you type, try going into your keyboard settings (Menu - > Language & Input). I'm fairly certain that SlimICS comes with a keyboard which includes a vibration setting. It would be under advanced settings.
NB) there are old Galaxy s i9000, me too (ie my Galaxy is November 2009) have a different hardware vibration.
My PDA for example don't have the spring effect; also I have a different chipset RAM : i have 8,2GB internal memory (my co-workers have 7,9 max 8,0 gb)
So there are some little differences;
i can't seem to find the setting for this. the stock vibration is a little too strong for me.
I know faux's app for his kernel lets you change the vibration but its not much of a difference as 94% = stock in the app.

Hello guys,
Few days ago I tried the cyanogenmod milestone 7 on my M7, that rom is amazing!! So many usefull options! The problem was the camera quality and it is still pretty unstable. I had the Renovate before which is nothing special and I'm currently using the Revolution HD 71.1 that seems to be ok but It is missing all those best stuff you can find in the cyanogen.
I really loved the notifications Profiles which can override the vibration and audio volumes for the notifications of each apps and the separate streams of ringtone and notification, it is possible to silence the ringtone keeping the notification and enable or disable the overall vibration from the same expanded volumes box! Also the slider to reduce the vibration strenght that is very noisy on this device
I just wonder if you guys know any rom with sense 6 (which is the only good for the camera) that has that tweaks or a firmware or whatever to enable that specific stuff..
Thanks in advace :highfive:

It depends on what you are looking in a rom.
Camera is the same in all.
i do recommend insertcoin i think its the best one tbh.

Some would prefer android revolution or viper one.
but again it depends on your preference.
Good luck
