[Q] change the vibration pattern on Moto X - Moto X Q&A

Hey guys,
I love the X but in my mind there is a big problem with this phone. The strength of the vibration. I searched the whole forum and it seems that there is still no solution to adjust the strength of it.
Maybe a custom rom could work but i want to keep the stock.
I now had the idea of “replacing” the standard vibration with the one that applies, when you shake your phone to enable the camera mode. In my opinion it has a very smooth feeling, is strong enough to feel in your pocket without making this rattle and noisy sound.
Is it possible to extract the corresponding code that tells the phone how it should vibrate when the camera is activated and exchange the normal vibration behavior with it, when I get a notification.
Or am I off the track with this idea that the vibration function is controlled by a simple code line?

I looked to see if I could find that vibrate pattern somewhere and emulate it with Tasker, because like you said, it feels very smooth and gradual, instead of the violent feel of the "normal" one.
In Tasker you can specify the pattern for vibration in an OFF/ON/OFF/ON/etc sequence. I played with it for a little while one day but didn't get very far. I tried a few different on and off times to see what felt similar but couldn't pin it down.
I did poke around in the system for files related to the camera to see if there was any files specifying how to make it vibrate, but I didn't have any luck there either.
For what it's worth, I use Tasker to vibrate my phone when I get a new SMS and my screen is off. I use a shorter vibration than the standard SMS one, but still do two pulses.

How to stop vibrate pulse on reset/power on.

I usually have my phones on a scheduled soft reset in the middle of the night. I put it face down so the light wouldn't wake me but the Kaiser(Qualcomm) does a vibrate pulse as if I needed that... Anyone know how to disable that?
Put it in your sock? *cough*
i wanna to know the answer too....
Anyone?...

Seriously I am looking around but have not found anything yet
Sorta weird you can't disable this :|

OK.. might seem odd but a found some materail that said that some of the software used to disable the led with kill the vibrate feature... I could not find the software.. but it give a place to start

There is a software, but I think a registry tweak will be easier:
Code:
Hkey_Local_Machine/Drivers/Builtin/AllLEDMgr
Change the "Index" value from 1 to 0
Soft-reset the device
Killing the vibrate isn't a feature, it's a consequence in this case.
And, it's not killing the vibrate on reset/power on.
I think this is something on the chipset level that can only be resolved by a altered ROM or "chipset" update from Qualcomm...??
stop vibrate at every soft-reset
Has someone been able to stop the vibrate starting at every soft-reset ?
I prefer to think of it more as a shudder whilst yawning as it wakes up
How to reduce the vibration time period ?
When I put my PPC in vibration mode and a remind alarm arrives, my PPC is vibrating for a TOO much long time ! I just want it to make, 1 short vibration , how do configure the PPC to do that ?

Surely this must be a hardware issue which can't be changed?
I've change my ROM and radio more times than i can remember and still have the same issue. Correct me if i'm wrong but don't some of these ROM bases even come from different WM hardware (which doesn't have this problem)?
I don't think the vibration duration is linked with the hardware, there must be a way to configure this, as it is possible to configure the ringtone to increase the sound or not.
Anyone has already tried changing the vibration duration ?

There's 2 ways you can put your phone into vibration mode:
1: tap the speaker icon on the top bar of the phone and select "vibrate" from the on, vibrate, off options.
2: tap the speaker icon on the top bar and leave it set to "on", but drag the two volume sliders to the bottom.
If you use method #1, when you get a notification it will give you 3 short bursts of vibration.
If you use method #2, the duration of vibration for reminders and other notifications (email, sms, etc.) is related to the length of the audio alert. I have my phone set to make noise and vibrate at the same time and when I get a message, it vibrates for the entire time that it's making noise, and not a bit longer. When I drag the volume sliders down instead of putting it exclusively into "vibrate" it vibrates for the same amount of time, so I imagine it is still playing the sound file I have associated for that notification, just not outputting it to the speaker, and vibrates while the sound file is playing.
So if you want a shorter vibration when your alarm arrives, choose a shorter beep, tone, jingle, whatever sound you want it to make when you get an alarm. Or use option #1 for putting it into vibration mode if the 3 short bursts are acceptable to you.
The vibrate upon startup is some low level thing, and I have no idea how to change it.

Help Needed!!!! Touch Keypad :(

Ok Guys,
I have Been Looking for a vibrating keypad for texting for a few weeks now. In the middle of the i have managed to and get and love the HTC 12 button 1. Also i have managed to get a cab that makes the dailer keypad vibrate. This had made me want it even more.
Does anybody know how to make the HTC touch 12 button keypad vibrate?
Or just other FF keypad?
Regards
Scott
Make sure you really want to do this, I have run across many posts that cover vibrate by touching, and they always have people complaining that the vibration is getting weaker.
Most vibrate units are made by placing a weight on a small motor, and that motor is so small it was only designed for occassional use in short bursts. Most touch to vibrate programs cause over use of these motors and this leads to loss of speed and eventually the motor will die.
If you really want this feature though, search the developing and haking section, I've seen a few options there while browsing through the programs.

Advanced Vibrating Control?

Hey,
I'm deaf and I find the limited way the vibrator is... annoying.
For example:
Alarm - Only rings a couple times at first, and that's all.
I have no idea how, but sometimes it won't vibrate at all when the sound is not turned off.
If there's a way I can put in different vibration lengths and patters (or strength?) it would be cool...
Somehow I feel like I'm expecting too much for a software/tweak to exist for that?
Sounds a bit spesific I think, but I'm sure you can find someone here to make it for you.
Shouldn't be any harder making this than it is to make the software that let's you use the LED as a super bright flashlight.
try vAlert?

Shorten Vibration Notification

When my phone is on vibrate, is there a way to shorten the length or strength of vibration for receiving sms...It sounds trivial but the table shakes each time I get a sms and I can't seem to tone this down? Some apps allow you to customize this like whatsapp or third party sms...Im trying to stick with stock sms though.
AFAIK, you can only do this on AOSP ROMs, but I can't recommend you one. I'm one of the VERY few people whose phones got bricked.
But anyway, if you choose to do so there is a vibration intensity option under "advanced," I believe.

Disabling short vibration for "low priority" notifications?

Hello,
I am using a Mi9 t Pro for little longer than half a year now ... And it still bugs me, if vibration is enabled the phone will vibrate on every notification entry.
Not only on messages, calls, etc... but on play store updates, youtube routines like refreshing downloaded videos or similar background tasks... Notifications no other os i used has cared about. (Thats why I call them low prio)
However vibration is crucial for me, since I have the phone muted most of the time, it is really annoying to have these short vibrations.
These vibrations are not like the normal ones, they are really short, only a short "brrr", no pattern (brr brr) or a long vibration like the normal notifications make.
Within the normal settings I haven't found anything but disabling all vibrations.
Hidden Settings for Miui dosn't have anything helpful, at least I haven't found anything.
In 4A SetEdit I took a look at the system table but can't really tell if there is a setting for this problem...
Maybe someone here can help? Especially with SetEdit, maybe more in depth rom insight can help here, which I am missing.
Thanks
