Root disable all vibration?

[TDS40]

I mainly rooted my phone for 2 reasons.

1. Disable all bloatware.
2. Get free wireless tethering.

Is there a way for root users to completely disable ALL vibration.

yes no need for root for it though

Details please.

All settings in the phone are have vibration set to OFF.

Yet the dial pad still vibrates, the calculator still vibrates, and the phone vibrates during call connect and disconnect?

Is your haptic feedback disabled? This is what makes your dialpad/keypad vibrate. Uncheck the option and you should be good to go.

I just spent 40 minutes on the phone with Verizon Tech Support.

There is NO setting to disable dial pad vibration on the HTC Incredible v2.2.

Crazy, I figured that would work. Sorry about that.

It's all good. I still love phone. And maybe someone will eventualy figure out a way to disable it.... until then I will just have to enjoy life.

If you are rooted and run this command manually or in a script after 'su', it disables the vibrator motor at the kernel level (or more accurately, sets the device control file to read-only, instead of default read-write):

chmod 444 /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/enable

But not all phones have it (like my current LG Optimus F3), so I'm still looking for a solution in this case.
