Default Notification Vibration Length

The one thing that keeps annoying me about the G3 is the loooooong vibration for default notifications when in Vibrate mode. This only happens on the default system apps that I can't control (on my SMS, Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger and others I can easily change this).
The menu has an option to change vibration lengths, but this only applies to phone calls. Anyone know where this is defined in the system? It must be editable. I've searched and haven't been able to find a solution for LG or Samsung stock ROMs.
Edit: I found the setting and updated it.
If you are annoyed with your vibration length, you can modify framework-res.apk to a more normal pattern. I changed it form 800 ms to 400 ms by editing /res/values/arrays.xml and changing the following values:
<integer-array name="config_defaultNotificationVibePattern">
<item>0</item>
<item>400</item>
</integer-array>
<integer-array name="config_notificationFallbackVibePattern">
<item>0</item>
<item>400</item>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You will need apktool.
Edit: I modified the arrays.xml file but I realized that for this to take effect with the above changes, you have to change the vibration intensity to the first value. I deleted the other values in the array, so only the first step works.

Custom Keymap to get to Kodi's Home screen from within Kodi and playercorefactory

This is my keymap and you
1.press the rewind key to go to kodi's home screen and while on most screens that are not playing any media
2. on the homescreen press play it will bring Genisis,
3. on the home screen press fast forward to go to your Library TvShows Titles,
4. on the home screen press rewind to go to your Library Movies Titles,
5. on the home screen press return to bring up isearch.
6.Also when you are viewing a video in full screen, instead of stopping the video when pressing back, I changed to only go back so the video can continue to play, to stop the video or song from playing you have to bring up the on screen display to do so.
The return/back key didn't have any functionality when on the kodi homescreen when you have kodi as launcher, and for those who do not have it as launcher this should prevent you from exiting kodi to amazon's screen.
If you want to change something you will need to refer to these three pages plus the custom firetv keyboard.xml and edit to your liking.

Not sure how well this work on non rooted fire tv's but it should still give them the rewind button that takes them to kodi's home.

Your keymap has the rewind key mapped to <rewind>PageUp</rewind> in Global. How does this take you to the Home screen within Kodi? Is it possible to map <play_pause>Play</play_pause> as a Kodi Homescreen key when actually in an addon or Library? I'd rather not lose the rewind or fastforward keys in Kodi.

You can change if you want to. I have it in Global because it was much easier to make exceptions for when rewind is needed to address playing media than it is for me to go through each page and see where i need to set it. I actually started out coding it the opposite way and realized how tedious it was when I started reading through all the available window ID's

I have tested it on non-rooted firetv and everything works perfect.
I use the aeon nox skin so this works very well. I have the select button show movie/tv show info when pressed and use the play button to play/auto-play the highlighted selection. Plus you still have page down which is used much more often than page down. Anytime you are in a menu and instead of going through each step to get home this instantly goes there even when you are not rooted.
You are not losing the rewind/fast forward when any type of media is playing, only within kodi's menus. if you want to use page up/down just highlight the scroll bar rather than an individual movie/show and it moves a whole page at a time.

[Q] Help with Iconset creation

Hi all,
I'm creating my first iconset for showing my mobile data consumption. I use the #NTMTMM# value that I compare to values from 0 Mb to 3000 Mb (my mobile contract limits my data to 3 Gb by month) with steps of 250 Mb.
The result is a circle with 12 steps from empty (all grey) to full (colored from green to red).
I have created a zip containing :
- config.xml
- folder icons that contains all my png files (stat_sys_data_0.png, stat_sys_data_1.png, ... ,stat_sys_data_12.png)
My config.xml contains :
Code:

My problem is that the zooper widget i create with that iconset always gives the "3 Gb" stat_sys_data_12.png image while it should show me the stat_sys_data_6.png image as i'm right now at about 1691 Mb (which is <= 1750 which indicates the stat_sys_data_6.png image).
I believe that my conditions are wrong somewhere but I don't see where.
Thanks in advance for your assistance
ps : i have put my zip file attached to this thread.

Shouldn't you ask this in the General section anyway, I think the only thing missing is the & symbol before the lt; and gt; operators, so it should be < and >
Here's a reference list: http://www.zooper.org/wp/android/zw/iconsets

Iconset for Day/Night

Hey there!
I want to create a iconset which just shows a sun after sunrise and a moon(maybe with phases?), many iconsets support sun/moon, but I don't want to show the actual weather. I tried making my own icon set, but I can't find any good documentation for icon sets.
Anyone can help me with this?

Okay, I think I managed to do what I want now with this code, if anyone is curious:

edit: Anybody knows, if it is possible to add moon states to this?

DO these brigtness settings in overlay look good?
