Root [MOD] Anyone interested in Global Vibration Mod?

[Fuzzy13]

First thing I noticed upon getting my N4 was that the global vibration/haptic was not very strong. Some people may enjoy this but I do not. I like a semi strong vibrate on soft keys/keyboard/etc....

If there's enough people that would be interested, I will compile a tut on it. it's not hard. Xml editing not smali so it's not hard at all. Just need to know how to decompile/recompile but I'll add all that info in.

But if enough people want it, I'll write it up. This sub forum looks kinda dead so I don't wanna waste the time if the response is weak. Let me know



ALSO. If you are running Franco, Faux or Trinity the option to change the global haptic feedback is available to change in each one of the developers apps for their kernel. I myself prefer Franco because even at stock mhz, it benchmarks higher than the other 2 kernels at max speed. Also the option to save and restore your kernel backups is an option in the franco app so trying out kernels is easy.

Just wanted to throw that in there.

Are we talking just haptic stuff or for notifications etc too?

if the latter, I might find it useful, I kinda rely on the vibration more than sound for notifications etc, so I'd potentially be interested.

I mainly use vibrate as well for notifications. I do not know if it got changed as well. I will check and see and report back. If it didn't, I'll check and see if that option is also in the same XML.

On a side note. What I do with the notification vibrate is I set the length to be a lot longer than normal. Can't remember if that option is in the AOSP Mms app but I'm using the Inverted MMS from the Black Bean ROM because of the customizations you can do it and I know it's in there. So instead of pulsing harder, it just pulses longer giving me more time to feel it per say. lol.


Have you tried this?

Yeah, not sure about the stock SMS app, I use sliding messaging and that has options for different vibrate patterns too.

I'll give Vibe a shot, I use GTalk more than SMS anyway (worst app I ever introduced Mrs Presidente too ) so hopefully it will give things a bit more buzz.

So I finally got a chance to go in and check about notification vibrate strength and there is a section for it. About to test it out and see if I can make it stronger.

El,

So i can't tell if what I changed for the noti vibrate made the vibration harder or not. I doubled the number it had listed. I think it changed but i can't tell. I'm gonna go back again and quad the original number that way it should be with a doubt.

If I get this figured out and it does make a noticeable difference, you could just send me your framework-res or link the ROM your using as long as you haven't changed anything within the FW-res that wasn't already in the ROM. Or if your like me I can tell you how to do it if your saavy with apk's. Just gotta have a good apk program that will decompile/recompile the 4.2 apk's.

Once I get time I think Im gonna just do a write up anyway being that it's fairly easy and wont take too long. :/ I wanna get some stuff in the ATR section. Looks a little naked in here considering all the good stuff out there for us.

Awesome sauce!

I'm currently running the CM10.1 M2 at the moment, but I was planning to give something else a go over the weekend. I'll send you the file once I've changed

Sounds great. That will give me a little more time to mess around with it as well.

how about a way to toggle between "volume with vibrate, volume without vibrate, vibrate, and silent" ? Not sure why this isn't possible... no toggle switch I've tried, be it stock, in my current Xylon ROM, will allow the ringer to be on without vibrate via a toggle switch, and to flip back and forth between the options for that matter...

My thinking, when that glass back is sitting on a table or a hard surface, I'd like to hear it, but not necessarily have it vibrate and scratch/crack/rattle along the table

I understand what your saying and I dont know why it's not implicated. Even though AOKP uses the 3 way toggle to ring, vibrate, silent; I would assume a 4th toggle could be added that was just a ring only option.

But, long pressing on the toggle opens up the sound state from which vibrate could be turned off.

Have you tried using "AnyCut" to create a toggle or shortcut on your desktop that would do this option for you? Might even be an option through your launcher.
