Edit /etc/mce/mce.ini
Go to the last part of the file, you could replace the Pattern for SMS with the pattern for emails or chat messages which is only 1 vibration that is shorter.

Open app manager and install leafpad* and rootsh, or you could use ssh with WinSCP.
Open terminal and type root, then leafpad /etc/mce/mce.ini
Scroll down to the bottom of the file, you'll see something like this
Code:
PatternIncomingCall=1;3;0;0;30;970;0;1000;180
PatternIncomingMessage=3;3;2;2;30;470;0;500;154
PatternPowerKeyPress=5;5;1;1;0;16;0;16;128
PatternTouchscreen=10;3;0;1;16;10;15;50;255
PatternChatAndEmail=4;3;1;1;30;360;0;100;154
PatternIncomingMessage is the one for SMSs, edit that as you wish, if you want the same vibration as ChatAndEmail then copy the values for that into PatternIncomingMessage, i.e change from
PatternIncomingMessage=3;3;2;2;30;470;0;500;154
to
PatternIncomingMessage=4;3;1;1;30;360;0;100;154
Save, exit, then
Code:
stop mce; sleep 1; start mce
* You can use any editor for this

Wouldn't that change the volume and stuff too? I'm not sure but changing 3;3;2;2;30;470;0;500;154 to 3;3;1;1;30;470;0;500;154 might be better? From "2" to "1".

ok if i can get to the patterns i can manage that but i fail at your 1st instruction 'type root'...
says root not found... have rootsh and leafpad installed.

Try "sudo gainroot" instead of root.

You might not have installed the latest Rootsh from devel.

Re: change number of sms vibrations?
 
Is there a developer out there who could work on an interface to change these like they did for the LEDs? That would make something like this easier for people like stew-b!

I am no sure what you refere to.. To save in leafpad you click the top menu > save.

To restart the process you need to write "stop mce; sleep 1; start mce" in the terminal.

Thats it.

Re: change number of sms vibrations?

Change the 360 value to something like 180, play with it till you find the value you like.
Remember you have to restart mce every time you change the config file, and restarting it too often causes it to stop starting for about 5 minutes :)

stew-b 2010-07-15 12:56
Re: change number of sms vibrations?
 
thanks again,180 is about right :)
