Is there a way to control vibration intensity of Phone ring and key press? I want the phone ring vibration intensity at 100 percent and keyboard key press intensity at 1-5 percent. There is a xposed module, but i want to change it in the config file. Please let me the location if such a thing exists.

You can change the vibration intensity by using kernel auditor or synapse. For keyboard(either AOSP or google keyboard) go to settings >language and input >AOSP or Google keyboard >preferences > and turn off vibrate on key press. That's it. Simple...no need of those complex config files.

Thanks.. but i need the keyboard vibration with the minimum value and don't want to turn it off.
At 0percent vibration intensity the phone still vibrated

The minimum vibration intensity is 70%. Below that you cannot even sense the vibration. So what's the use of decreasing it to 0%. And btw there won't be two separate vibration intensities. If you change the intensity that will apply to all the apps that use vibration.

It feels like there are two vibration intensities Or may be the time duration the motor is switched ON for the button press and the phone ring is different. Hope someone clarifies this.

I know this has probably been mentioned 1000 times but why doesn't anyone make an app that will let you manually turn the soft key lights on or off on a non-rooted dinc.
So many clock apps, etc have the option of forcing the softkey lights off, prove that it could be easily done since those apps are available for non-rooted dincs.
If anyone has a solution (other than the black e-tape one) please let me know. You can't see the buttons worth a crap unless the room is very well lit. in other words useless at night in the house with normal lighting. Yes I know I could cover the sensor with my thumb but there has to be a solution lurking out there somewhere.
thanks in advance.... johncal
There is. It's called Screen Filter. You can use it to do really low brightness (like when you use your phone in bed, not what she said ) and also manually turn softkey lights on or off. Actually, I'm not sure about forcing on, but it does turn off softkey lights for as long as you want.
Seriously, why do you want to turn them off? I sorta memorized the position of the softkeys.
I find the softkeys way too bright, so I've always used apps to turn them off in the past, never on.
In addition to trying Screen Filter as recommended above, give LEDs Hack a try. It's primarily designed to turn them off, but maybe the "ON" button will work... I'm really not sure.
For what it's worth, CM7 lets you control the softkeys. Specifically, if you go into the auto-brightness levels, you can turn them on/off for a given brightness level. From my experience, it seems that these settings stick even when you're not using auto-brightness. I turned off soft-keys at all the levels, and they stay off even when I'm not in auto-brightness.
With CM7, I no longer have to use Screen Filter for turning off the softkeys, but I do still use it to dim the screen very low.
I really want to keep the softkeys on not off. I'm also running a stock non-rooted rom. Phone's fine for me the way it is except that I just want the ability to keep the softkey lights on. I guess I'm just surprised that no one has come up with a solution for that.
Screen filter is for turning them off and unfortunately, LED hack is for rooted phones. Thanks for the suggestions though.

Where are the softkey settings in CM7? I looked under the autobrightness settings place but couldn't find anything.
Nightly 37 btw.

Menu > Settings > CM Settings > Display > Automatic Backlight > Edit other levels
Lower / Upper = readings from the light sensor
Screen = the screen brightness you want based on the lower/upper light sensor values
Buttons = whether or not you want the softkeys on. Unfortunately, they cannot be dimmed (hardware limitations, from what I've read), so 255=on and 0=off
In the default configuration, for example, if the sensor value is 0-199, the screen will be set to brightness 25 and the softkeys will be turned on. If the sensor value is >399, notice that the softkeys turn off (button value changes to 0). If you want the buttons on all the time, set all button values as 255. If you're like me, and you hate the softkey lights, set all button values to 0.

Byrong, youre the man. Did not know about this. Bye bye softkey lights. Thanks!
I just noticed my buttons aren't lighting up anymore :/
Mine stay on whenever charging and at all brightness levels... the only way they'll go off is if I put the phone to sleep (click power button).
Anyone know the setting location? I have Cyanogen & ADW launcher. I've seen it before but it's been so long I forgot where they were and can't find them.

THANK YOU! Exactly what I was looking for and clearly explained!
Hi, guys.
As you'll already know, Xperia Ion Stock ROMs have no auto-brightness toggle on settings, apparently. And even if you use a 3rd party app to fix the brightness at a value, it keeps blinking around that value according to light sensor.
Light sensor has always been told to be such a battery-drainer, so here's my doubt:
Would it be possible to create a mod, app, flashable ZIP or something to disable that auto brightness feature at all?
Thanks in advance.
Lol? Light Sensor isn't battery drainer. You have wrong informations.

Light sensor constantly reads an input, that obviusly uses a substantial amount of battery.
Anyway, is there any toggle solution?
If you want to really disable it, try this -
0. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP (VERY IMP)
1. Use a root file manager and go to /system/etc
2. Open hw_config.sh
3. Search for this line - echo 1 > $dev/lcd-backlight/als/enable
4. Change 1 to 0, then save and reboot
5. Hopefully it should disable als now.
Thanks for the method! But wouldn't that disable brightness at all? I want brightness on, but light sensor-based automatic brightness disabled.
Greetings.

No no, you can adjust brightness in settings. It only disables the ALS sensor(Ambient Light Sensor). I have tested it myself.
Just wondering if it were possible to adjust vibration intensity when a notification arrives?...anyone?

This should be in Q&A as it's not related to an app, theme or mod.
Also would like to know about this. Vibration seems to be loud, but not easy to feel in my pocket.
I agree, vibration is too soft to rely on in the pocket
Any update on how to improve this? My moto x pure has a great vibration intensity and I'm hesitant to give that up...

Still no luck? I can't feel the thing vibrate at all

You need a kernel with the ability to adjust that.
If u got root, I'm currently on ElementalX kernel and I just adjusted vibrate intensity. Definitely a improvement.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
But ElementalX only lets you increase vibration for stuff like button presses.
So you're capable of going from stock settings of maybe 50% vibration up to stock system max 100% vibration.
But overall system max vibration remains at 100%.
You can't go higher than that.
So stuff like text message alerts and incoming call alerts will remain at current stock 100% vibration levels.
Count me among those who want more vibration!
...and a brighter LED alert as well.
As a workaround, I use my Textra SMS app's built in ability to change the vibration style.
I set it to multiple long vibrations instead of the stock single vibration.
It does help a little to make it more noticeable when I get a text when the phone is in my pocket.
You are right. Main reason for me to flash El-X was the vibration thingy, but the default vibration is already set at highest, you can't go higher than that. You can, but the haptik feedback one, that's completely an unneeded feature for me. So if anyone is looking for actual device vibration, then no, custom kernel won't allow to increase it, you can decrease it though, not that's the point.
To test this easily, just select the high/strong intensity in MIUI or use whatever intensity on LOS.
PS: For me it doesn't affect vibrations like keyboard and TWRP, so I really think that the software IS the case :>
