Editing vibrate pattern via root - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I'd like to edit the default vibrate pattern and I feel as though the information is in a text file somewhere under /system or under / but I can't seem to find it.
I'd like to edit this default pattern so that all calls and text messages come through with a quick 'buzz buzz' pattern.
Anyone have any idea where I can find this file? I know you can create custom vibrate patterns so this information has to be saved somewhere.
I am referring to stock touchwiz jb rom.

You dont need to edit any files there is a option somewhere in settings to make custom vibration settings. Im not sure where it is because i havent been on stock for a few months but i know it is there Try sound settings or something.

SMS sent notification

hi, im asking about the sms sent notification, i like it turned on but i dont like the beeping sound when the notification comes is there a way i can turn it off? the notification sound not the notification.
thanks
Go to settings---> Sounds and notifications. You can adjust whether you want sound or not for a specfic notification by ticking or unticking the box in front.
doesn't bother me but i think the OP is looking to turn off the sound when an SMS is successfully sent and not the one for delivery success. That is one of the few, if not the only, sound that can't be turned off. Don't know if there is a registry entry for it.
Advanced Config will disable the notification. But I think it is an all or nothing proposition. Sound and Visual or nothing at all
I actually tried to look for a solution to this thing a while ago.. and everyone told me it's both or none at all.
ive tried many methods but i havnt succeeded , althought im pretty darn sure that u can turn it off, when i flashed a rom onto my touch that rom had a advanced config that could get rid of it
so with the factory rom...I wont be able to turn the notification off? If so, where do I find this advanced configuration?
do a search for Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool. Install that and "have fun".

no more SMS notification

Hi guys!
I own a Touch 3g (Jade). After the last (and first) Hard Reset my phone doesnt play a sound or vibrate when an sms arrives.
after the hard reset it worked without problems. I already checked the windows settings, a sound is activated. As well i activated the LED and a notification bubble. Those work without problems.
I've already been searching the registry and found the values wich calibrate the sms notification, but they where correct (ive read a post in this forum about that topic as well).
has anybody an idea of how to make my phone ring and vibrate again when sms arrive?
I would rehardreset it had times when that was necessary
is there no other option? i really dont want to reconfigure everything again

You don't need to hard reset, because if you do you're just gonna install the previous programs that corrupted your settings for SMS sound notifications.
That's all you need to know really. Everything else is just trial and error from there.
i've solved the issuie via installing smiley sms
thx alot for ur help
just go into your sound/alert settings, and pick a new sound or set it to vibrate. (is this not common sense?) it is built into windows mobile. i cannot believe you installed a 3rd part application that will just slow your phone down more, when the fix is just a settings change
didnt work, as i wrote i checked those settings, tried to change the sounds and even searched the registry....
but its a good solution, now i got smilies in my sms too
cheers

Unable to change Sound and Display settings?

I can't seem to get any of my sound/display settings to stick. Even after selecting a ringtone, and hitting OK, going back into the selection just resets to the default AT&T sound :/ I'm using Launcher Pro as my "home screen" and I have rooted the phone. Anyone know how to remedy this situation?
ur ringtone settins.. Are you trying to apply them to google contacts or contacts that are physically on your phone? Also tell us what display changes you are trying to make and exactly the steps you are taking so we can try to replicate this experience at home and advise you better.
settings -> sound and display -> voice call ringtone -> (select different ringtone) -> OK -> home.
It refuses to change to anything but the default AT&T one. It plays all of the other tones, as a preview, but will not stay changed to it.
so lets say you pick bird loop, select ok, and then click voice call ringtone again, the little dot is back next to the att default ringtone?

yes (10char)
wow. im speechless. Maybe you should try a factory data reset?
So I have figured out my problem. I did that non-market app fix found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728121 . The problem that I had, was that my settings.db had bad file permissions. I just chmoded 777 the file, and now it can write just fine.
Thanks for that fix, solved the weird quirks I was having.

[Q] messaging locked cant find settings, dont remember code

Hi. I was messing with my phone last night and thought it would be a great idea to put a passcode lock on my messaging.well, i cant remember the pattern and now cannot get 2my messages. I am using handcent. I can get into the security settings and change/disable it for the home screen but i dont see anything for messaging. It was really late when i did this and i was functioning on half a brain cell, if that.i dont remember where i was when i set it..dugh..I hope i dont have 2do a hard reset but if so, oh well. Can someone please help me? I am using the stock rom btw. Thank you
I'm not sure where the files are located but I would start by locating the configuation files for handcent and deleting them. You'll lose all your customization on the settings, but it should eliminate the passcode.
Another thought: Can you access the messages in the stock messaging app?
go into settings>applications>manage applications> all> find the messaging app select it, and clear data. Post with results.
wahoo :-}
Thanks guys...I uninstalled the message majigger and it worked. No more tryin 2get all James bond super spy and lock all my stuff and then lock the stuff that's locking the stuf..lol...I appreciate ur time, for reals :

Vibrate pattern

I used to have my phone give me a 3 quick vibrate pattern for incoming text and other notifications. (System Settings>>Sound)
But now I don't have any of those options (or can't find it). Anyone know off hand where that is or how to get it back?
I believe I may have switch Messaging programs....think i flashed either AOKP or CM10 and was on the other previously.
If that's what made that change I'll flash back if someone knows.
I'm currently on Eclipse build 4...with justin860's 4.1.2 inverted apps.
thanks,
I'm on Jelly Bean's Rom Build 6 and I have the same issue (and I believe stock has this issue too). There doesn't seem to be any way to get a different vibration pattern for text messages on stock messaging app that I've found. :/
It is the cm10 mms. Inside there you get the choice, plus it has the quickview quick reply option popup which is real nice.
is it possible to flash cyanogenmod 10 sms app (or is there an apk?) without the full rom? edit: yes it is but it doesn't work on the rom I use (bean's rom build 6)

yeah I'd think it would work on any aosp rom like aokp or cm10 ....but not a tw rom like beans.
I made a fix for this problem (I'd post directly to my reddit thread but I can't yet post outside links so I'll just copy the text):
"So one of my biggest annoyances (pretty much my only annoyance) when I first got my GS3 was that the SMS notification for the stock SMS app is always a long single vibration rather than two brief ones (two differentiate it from a call vibration). I searched but all the solutions I could find involved battery-eating third party apps just for customizing notifications which I didn't want or third-party sms apps which I didn't want.
So I decided to roll my own solution. I bought Tasker and set up a new profile. Here are the instructions to set up this profile if you're new to Tasker:
Create a new profile with the [+] button.
For the Context, you want "Event" then "Phone" then "Received Text" and then click the check mark.
Then for the Task, you want "Alert" then "Vibrate Pattern." Here you have some options. You enter patterns in the format "#,#" where the first number (in milliseconds) is how long to wait before starting to vibrate, then the second is how long (in milliseconds) to vibrate for, and then you can add more to pause more and then vibrate more. I use "0,300,250,300" which means immediately vibrate for 300 milliseconds, then wait 250 milliseconds, then vibrate 300 milliseconds again.
Then just make sure you disable the vibration built into the stock sms app: go to your sms list, his the menu key, then settings, then scroll down to notification settings and uncheck "Vibrate."
And you're done!"
