[Q] How can I disable all vibrations? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I hate every vibration. Some apps use the vibration as haptic feedback or they give me notification with vibration even if it's disabled from settings. Is there a simple way to disable EVERY vibration? For example an app (obviously with root permissions) or an Xposed Module. An 'extreme' solution would be to operate at kernel level or to physically disconnect the vibration motor!
Thank you in advance, I've got a rooted Nexus 5 running stock Android 4.4.3 and Franco kernel.

Franco kernel has a feature to adjust the vibration level. Use 0 and vibrations will disappear I think.

Download FKU app from Google Play. There's a built in option.

Root your phone (if not done yet) -> flash franco kernel-> install francokernel updater from the playstore -> set vibrations amp to 0 (in Kernel Settings). Done!

Thank you guys! I'm new with this kernel and I didn't know the premium version of franco.kernel updater is full of features! I happily bought this app to thank Franco for his work and now... nothing vibrates!

Why not just disable vibration through settings. Much simpler. Nothing against FKU, as I have it, but it seems like overkill.

I've always kept vibration disabled in the Android settings, but some apps keep sending me notification with vibration and these apps don't let me customize their notification type (sound and vibrate). Other apps use vibration as their own haptic feedback. All these vibrations don't depend by Android system (and so by Android settings).
For example, Hangouts vibrates, but it has an option to deactivate that behaviour. Clash of Clans keeps vibrating on notifications. A lot of launchers vibrate when moving some elements. I just don't want that feature at all!

Well in that case I completely understand! That sounds insanely annoying.

[Q] Any way to reduce vibration intensity?

Hi! New to Xda. Quick question. Is there any known way to reduce the vibration intensity for the Moto G? I know I can reduce it in the Google Keyboard settings but that does not reduce it for button clicks. Thanks in advance!
You can switch it off entirely, I have mine vibrate only when I get a text or phonecall. I turn off all other vibrations.

Yeah, I was hoping there would be a tweak that would allow me to reduce the intensity. I like having it, but it's a bit much on the Moto G. Only complaint I have with the handset!

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I actually set it to vibrate for any notification, but have vibrate off for any key presses. So gmail vibrates. Strange it still vibrates for you even if you have the vibrate box unchecked.

Thanks for the answer !
Ans could you make a try by unchecking vibration un gmail account préférences ans see if it still vibrates on notification ?
Maybe we could continue on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2598038 cause that s not exactly the same problem...

It does still vibrate even when I turn off vibration AND have a phone to JUST vibrate and not ring, ie volume button pressed until vibrate option is chosen.
I think the issue is that there are so many options with regards to notifications in android that there is confusion by the system over which option wins out in the end. Or rather confusion by app developers in some cases.
I use chomp SMS and that can't properly send a notification sound when an SMS arrives if Im in the chomp app at the time.

For Gmail, you also need to set the ringtone to None in the Notifications - Sound settings in the Gmail app as well as untick vibrate.

Handsome ! Indeed it works. It was just that.
You have to set the ringstone to none to cancel the vibration on viber mode ( not very logical but that s the point). Ans it works for all applications like K9 mail, facebook...

[Q] Real silent mode in Lollipop? [Also Whatsapp/Viber Priority Interruptions Issue]

So, before Lollipop we used to slide the volume down to zero to get in to vibration mode, and press another time to go complete silent.
I used to have my phone in silent mode at work, sitting on the table, because vibration on a table is pretty noisy. I just silenced it and the notification light showed me any incoming notifications.
Lollipop introduced this new "Priority Interruptions" mode, and if you don't have any interruptions set up it is basically like the old silenced mode. The issue is that in priority mode the LED notification light doesn't light up anymore!
So, any help replicating a completely silent and non-vibrating phone showing notifications through led?
Thanks in advance :good:
UPDATE:
If you use a third party app to light up the light while in priority mode, you have to enable his notification access:
Settings > Sound and Notification > Notifications Access > Check Lightflow/Light Manager Access
Also you need the notification app itself to be activated as a priority interruption:
Settings > Sound and Notification > App notifications > Lightflow/Light Manager > Enable Priority
Thanks to sorcio91 on figuring this out. :good:
Meanwhile we found out some apps don't obey to priority rules. Whatsapp is one of them, and also user naelya reports Viber is creating issues. If you find any issue with some other app let us know in this topic. According to sorcio91, dowloading the version at http://www.whatsapp.com/android/ solves the issue.
I have my phone on silent 24/7 and rely on notification light too.. Frustrating they removed a basic feature like putting ringtone/vibrations on silent only..
Glad I'm not the only one having this issue. I use timeriffic to setup profiles, but it's pretty much useless now. At work I usually have my phone on silent and use my watch and notification light for notifications, but that doesn't work now. Looks like the final build is more of a nod towards the N6.
Will tasker get round this?
I have a problem with that too....
And: with priority interruptions active, whatsapp continues to make sounds when notifications arrives...is for you the same?

Had the same issue on the developer preview, but i thought it was a preview bug at that point. Didn't receive many notifications in the last few hours, but i'll see if i experience that also.
Back on the notification light:
Is there anyway we can report back to google? But this is more of a feature request than a bug i think.

Dear friend, i've just found a workaround...the version of whatsapp downloadble at http://www.whatsapp.com/android/ works well with lollipop notifications manager, but if you update or install it from the play store it will (in some strange way) bypass the notification manager and it will "ring" even in priority mode.
Let me know if it works for you...
my whatsapp seems to be working ok, just the notification light thing is bugging me.

Can you please check your whatsapp version number?
Have you tried if lightflow or some app like that does the job for the notifications?
I just tried with a friend and Whatsapp rings full volume in priority mode, even if it's not set up to. That's strange, becasue I thought that ringtone volumes were blocked at system-level.

I use Light Manager but I don't think it's the app fault. The led does not light up even with in-app basic light settings. I wrote to the developer to know if he eventually can override that behavior (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56706374&postcount=2015).
I also have Lightflow PRO from the Play Store, but didn't have time to try that extensively. I doubt it will work though.

That's bad. But it's also possible that Whatsapp uses some deprecated code in the app development that results in this. It's not the first time that this multi-billion company shows examples of really bad app design...

I have just opened a support ticket with Viber for a similar issue.
I have app Light Flow. It work. But seems there is one trick for this. Install Light flow app. Then go in Options/Accessibilitiy and and turn on Lighht Flow Lite!
Please answer if this working for you.
I have find REAL silent mode! Top ****! =]
Just click volume button, and there is priority mode. Just click first option! Or set priority mode. In priority mode you can turn on notification for like SMS, and turn of for incoming calls!

I know that you can use NONE, but that way also alarms are silenced. And in the morning I need to wake up to something :good:
By the way without any third party software you can't have notifications light up when in priority. Don't know if consider this an issue or an intended feature. By the way, with light manager, notification access is also enabled but doesn't seem to work anyway.
I still can't get it to work. I have the full version of the app. I have it activated, no persistent icon (other than the L Preview one it puts on automatically) and then I have set priority mode on with no active notifications...but nothing lights up.

[Q] MOD/App to get rid of the new "priority" modes and "Heads up" notifs.?

[Q] MOD/App to get rid of the new "priority" modes and "Heads up" notifs.?
Hi, since we have android L we have the new None/priority/all modes for notifications, we can't decide whether to disable sound but keep vibration, disable sound and vibration or keep them all on as in previous android versions...
Also, sometimes the Heads-up notification system is very annoying.. for example while gaming or writting in horizontal mode...
Is there any mod or app to customize this?
I just want the old system

It seems that we would have to wait till 5.1 arrived. Google simply forget what is the point of an alarm.

Its the same as the old way. The only difference is renamed strings, addition of app-specific whitelist functionality for silent (Priority) (which you don't have to use and can just use it as silent), and a new mode called None that silences everything including alarms. Oh and option to let you automatically unsilence after x hours. Nothing else has changed.

We know that, Lethargy. We are looking for the way it won't work like at your description.
The main problem (for mine opinion) is that we can't use this new settings, because there is not option to exclude an alarm from None mode.

Disable Sound/Notification profile switching sounds

Hello, I'm currently running SuperMan-Rom V1.18.1 from Tkkg1994, on my S7 (W8 / Canadian model).
I use an app called Llama (check it out -it does actions based upon location, which is obtained from determining which cell tower you are on - sorta like Tasker), to switch my Phone from the usual Normal / Ringer & Notification ON profiles, to the Silent & Vibrate profiles.
My question is as follows:
How can I disable the audible sound that my device makes whenever it switches from Silent / Vibrate to the Normal profile. It's tremendously annoying and often I think that I'm getting a notification.
Bonus: Is there any way to also disable the vibration that occurs when I switch from Normal / Silent to Vibrate?
I was hoping there was a setting in TouchWiz or in Super-Man's Rom control, however I have yet to find this setting . (Perhaps worst case scenario - there is a Xposed module which might do this)
Thanks guys & Happy holidays :good:

You can disable the sound by renaming:
/system/media/ui/TW_Silent_mode_off.ogg
to
/system/media/ui/TW_Silent_mode_off.ogg.bak
(The path is from memory, could be slightly off, but I'm sure that should be enough for you to figure it out)
I haven't figured out how to disable the vibration that occurs when switching to a vibration only notification setting.
EDIT: You'll have to re-do this after every ROM flash, keep that in mind
