Rid n900 of earthshattering vibration on boot?
 

I have asked this buried in various other threads, but I never got an answer. I would like the best and the brightest here to tell me if there is any way to do away with the massive earthshaking buzz that emanates from my phone upon boot. I already see I lose apx 10% battery life every time I reboot (which is crazy) and would like a silent experience in all aspects. I would like to get rid of the song, the handshake and most of all....

THE EARTH SHATTERING VIBRATION....

Any way to hack this thing away? or is it buried so deep only Nokia could destroy it? Thanks....

is the beginning to the answer of the song/handshake question.
The rest may be also be found with bootscreen manager, but I don't know. There are at least two apps for changing the boot screen.
bootmenu-900
BootScreen
these are available in Application Manager. I am not sure which repository they are in so you might have to enable respositories that contain less stable, or at least not proved stable, applications.

There's a line at the bottom of /etc/mce/mce.ini labelled PatternPowerKeyPress - you can adjust the vibration there, without having to install any additional software.

Please take a backup of mce.ini before you edit it just in case you mess things up.

Thanks I do see that setting it has a bunch of numbers...how do you know what they mean and which numbers do I change...ant to what new values? And how the heck do you know that that setting can effect the boot up vibration?

Thanks...

Do you mean the vibration at the very start of the boot, (when the screen is white with nokia written)? I believe that this vibration is generated by NOLO, so no much chance of preventing that.

You have two mistakes, though:

You do not lose 10% of your battery on every boot. You can test that by performing (much) more than 10 reboots without charging the device. If you sometimes see the battery meter down 10% after a reboot, it is only an artefact of a very inaccurate battery charge estimation.

The short vibration has practically no effect on battery life. You won't gain anything noticeable by disabling it.

Earth shattering? Where do you live that the earth is so brittle that a tiny vibration for half a second causes such destruction? Is it one of those glass houses people sometimes talk about?
:-p

LOL :D

But seriously I've managed to bug that with titan's kernel... I don't know how did that happen but vibration didn't occur that's why i reflashed my n900 and it came back :D

There's a section above that which gives details on each of the numbers and what they mean.
