[sandbox] Ability to tweak Touch Screen Vibration feedback.
Here is my brainstorm idea of possibility to change the Touch Screen Vibration feedback strength and/or length.
http://maemo.org/community/brainstor...edback_setting Seems it can be done by modifying the 'dangerous' /etc/mce/mce.ini file. Code:
PatternTouchscreen=10;3;0;1;23;0;15;50;255 |
Re: Ability to tweak Touch Screen Vibration feedback.
Here is my current setting which I feel is quite good:
Code:
PatternTouchscreen=10;3;0;1;10;30;0;50;50 Green = OnPeriod. (Made it longer so it's more prone) Blue = BreakPeriod. (Made it 0 as I liked how it felt when I turned on my phone and saw it was 0 for PowerOn) Magenta = Speed. (Made it low so that it's not too powerful and vibration feels gentle and soft) This makes it more like a Samsung Haptic feedback devices. Not too over powering but still gives a positive feedback. How I changed it: 1. Install rootsh to get root access at terminal via "sudo gainroot" 2. Install Leafpad application (text editor) 3. from xterminal, sudo gainroot 4. from xterminal, leafpad /etc/mce/mce.ini 5. Go down to the very end (down). 6. Make the changes to the above mentioned line and save. 7. Reboot. WARNING: Make sure you didn't make ANY mistakes. You can brick your N900 if you make wrong changes or syntax errors. I will take no responsibility if something goes wrong.... |
Re: Ability to tweak Touch Screen Vibration feedback.
It would be nice to have a little software with scroll bar to generate LED and vibration patterns...
I myself refuse to use a ring as i find this to be an insult to others in public area but I'd love to be able to tweak the vibration pattern to something very irregular so i can feel it better while walking and such... :-) |

Re: Ability to tweak Touch Screen Vibration feedback.
There's no coding experience involved. If you can follow directions, you can do this. Don't let the "I'm not a linux user, so I don't know how to do it" mentality scare you off. Learn how to do it properly the first time, and you'll be that much better off. Don't always rely on a "patch" or a ".bat" file as you call them.

HRZ, I'm not linux expert either. Here's a more detailed step for 3 & 4.
Step 3 - launch xterminal (it's already installed on N900) - type the following and press enter sudo gainroot - done Step 4 - While you are still in xterminal - type the following and press enter leafpad /etc/mce/mce.ini - the leafpad application will launch. (if installed as per step 2) - you are now seeing the contents of mce.ini file. |

Re: Ability to tweak Touch Screen Vibration feedback.
Glad some like my setting. I've played with my friend's Samsung phone quite a bit to get that. =)
btw, I proposed a solution to my brainstorm: I think it would be fairly easy for Nokia developer to add at least 3-5 presets to: Settings - Disply - Touch screen vibration When you click it, you get an option to select from following: (Similar to the Backlight time-out option) 0. Off 1. Default 2. Samsung 3. HTC 4. LG etc..... Each preset could be just a tweaked value of PatternTouchscreen in mce.ini |
Re: Ability to tweak Touch Screen Vibration feedback.
Thanks Jakiman I entered your settings and it's a much nicer feedback when you touch the screen. It would be good though if we did get the ability for presets from settings menu sometime in the future.
