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".

Try "sudo gainroot" instead of root.

You might not have installed the latest Rootsh from devel.
