I realize this has been talked about but I wanted to ask a direct question, are any of the developers looking into adding the capability to increase/decrease the vibration intensity.
I realize there is an option already for vibration intensity, but can you enhance the settings by adding/changing the slider to be a lot more intense at the top, a stronger top end? I work in a loud environment and use my phone for business but I always miss calls because I can't feel the vibration. It's beginning to become a deal-breaker! Just to clearify, I am looking to increase intensity and no make custom vibration tones.
I am running Sky-ICS, latest build, AT&T.
I have seen for the s2 that Fluxi kernel has an app, xxtweaker, that will adjust the vibration. How about something like that?
You could look into this:

Thanks! I will look into it.
Any other thoughts?
Edit: After looking into this, it seems that we don't have the file they specify. Not sure what to do. I am not on CyanogenMod, so that might be why I don't see this file.
Any other thoughts would be appreciated!

So Im not sure where this would actually fit in on here but Im looking for something close to a Vibetonez kinda program, for WinMo 6.1. For those of you that dont know Vibetonez were ringtones that when a bass note would hit, or a certain rhythme would go, it would vibrate along with the ringtone music, I was just wondering if someone knew of an alternative or even how you would go about doing something like that, again I appologize if this has been brought up before or If Im putting this in the wrong category, just interested in something like this.
bump..
that would be a nice app..
Try VAlert...
with this u can compose your own vibrate sequence...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437279&highlight=valert
I've actually been looking for the same thing (I think), and VAlert didn't provide it:
VAlert lets you set a custom vibration pattern, but as far as I can tell, only one single pattern.
It would be nice if there was a program that let you set multiple different custom vibration patterns for different callers. That way you could 'feel' who was calling, and decide if the call was important or not without having the ringer on.
is there anything that provides that ability?

I was looking for something more like this, or something that responds to the ringtone. not just a set vibrate pattern
Yeah I was thinking more so responding to the actual ringtone, VAlert is nice but it would be nice if you could set multiples ones though, for instance a different vibration for SMS, MMS, Email, Appointment, Voicemail, Ecetera. It would be nice if you could figure out what frequency of music the program would pick up, and vibrate to that frequency, although to me that seems rather demanding on that scale.
Hi All,
I haven't been able to find a way to unlink the notification volume and the ringer volume in stock-ish ICS (I generally don't stray from pete's ROMS). In GB it was easy, cause they had separate volume sliders. I'd prefer to have my ringer go off much louder than my notifications so that I hear it, but still get faint little audible notifications when I get an email or text or whatever.
Do other ROM's have this functionality? Is there a simple workaround? Or is this something that would require a mod?

Yeah this annoyed the heck out of me also, for some reason they removed this functionality from ICS ... I have no idea why.
It annoyed me so much I wrote an app to work around it ... I just released it on the market mere hours ago!
Check it out, works a treat -

Much more development and features coming to make it easier and better to use.
My question -- Open Kang Milestone 3 now has the ability to unlink notifications, but I like to play with other ROMs. (I love Gummy and always come back to it.) Is there any way to extract that ability and present it as a standalone fix? Or will devs start including that as standard in their roms now?
BTW, I've downloaded Sloppy's app and it works great, lets me keep my ringer on at night but turn off all other notifications. Also, he's very responsive to inquiries. The paid app is worth it.

There are people complaining all over the internet about this, but only 255 people starred the issue in google code.
Come on, star the issue and "push" google to fix this.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23117
or
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23202
Yeah this is annoying and totally non sense. I hope they find a way to restore it without having to wait for all rom devs to implement it or having to download a (paid) app that consume memory (even if very little)
Peter Alfonso has this implemented in his roms now, so I'm all good. I switched to cyanogen before Pete had baked it into his ROM, but I had the same experience I always do with cyanogen. Smooth at first, but then deteriorates to laggy, slow and unusable in a couple weeks without a fresh flash. I starred the issue on Google anyway though...it's pretty whack.

Wonder app...and it works on ICS. I can now have my ringer volume on high and the text and email volume to silent. COOL.
"ICS Enhanced Ringer Control" get it on the silly named "Play Store"
I'm using RezRom and it works! Yea
Try Audio Control, it's by far the best volume management app in the Google Play store. There is both a notification and ringer volume for ICS or Jelly Bean.
Really helpful developer too.

Has anyone figured out a way to make it so you can set different sounds to mute (example just notifications, which are tied to ringer, stupidly) without the sound profile for the entire phone changing to silent? If I set ringer to silent, everything but alarms and media are silenced, which is ****ing annoying. If I want everything silenced I'll set the silent profile mutt self. Really all I want is a way to control the different sound levels like an adult who knows the difference between ringer and notification volumes.
I've tried multiple third party apps, they are all limited to the way sound are handled natively, and can't override the auto-silent mode setting. I need a root solution, like a modified settings app, but unfortunately no one makes those for odexed ROMs, and I'm in stock T-Mo US...

Quick settings in the store. Used it for ages. Works perfectly for that. Only thing is that ringer and notifications are still tied together. But that's ICS, so you don't really get a choice.

Yeah, noticed that. Was going someone fixed it like in AOKP. But it might not matter for long since I'm having AOKP withdrawals, so I'm probably going to flash it soon. I was trying to stay as close to stock as possible but there are just too many little things about sense that irritate me, and now this.

any help would be appreciated, as our flagship phone could use a stronger vibration alert.
I am assuming we need a custom kernel, I don't know of any right now.
Just curious if anyone knows if there's a way to change vibration intensity? I looked around in the settings and don't see much. Vibration is a little weak imo so its a bit easy to miss notifications
You can flash a custom kernel like this one https://s3.schober.industries/minio/public-index/perseus/kernel/ V0.3
and you can install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.exkernelmanager&hl=nl this manager and there you will have the option for a harder or softer vibration.
