Re: change number of sms vibrations?

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".

Re: change number of sms vibrations?

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.
