hey all,
I dont like that the n900 violently shakes when i receive a new IM. i just like the blue led notification light.
/etc/mce/mce.ini has the following lines near the end:
Does anyone think or know if it would be catastrophic (meaning: requiring a flash) to either remove ;PatternChatAndEmail from the above string or comment out the PatternChatAndEmail=4;3;1;1;30;360;0;100;154 line?Code:VibratorPatterns=PatternIncomingCall;PatternIncomingMessage;PatternPowerKeyPress;PatternTouchscreen;PatternChatAndEmail ... PatternChatAndEmail=4;3;1;1;30;360;0;100;154
I am hesitant to do so as iv heard the mce.ini file is 'dangerous' and iv already had to reflash my tablet once (a little too aggressive with remapping some keys... oops), so if anyone knows flat-out i would appreciate you sharing your knowledge =]
Cheers

On an aside, though, is using the old SysV-style init.d scripts generally the Wrong Way on the N900? My impression was that Upstart still supported that mechanism as legacy.

I have done the above and it works for both Silent and General profiles.
Is it possible to turn off vibrate for just the General profile?

Today I bought a new N900.. I have problem with touch vibration. I hope this will work similarly for touch vibration. But please let me know how to comment it.. it would be great if you explain it with an example.
Thanks,
Sivaji

If you don't like the haptic feedback (vibration on touch) then you can manually change that in settings without risking anything like commenting out lines in your mce.ini file.
Settings - Profiles - Untick the check box next to Vibrate.
Note that this will kill all vibration in the profile, so when it rings it won't vibrate, when you get an SMS it won't vibrate etc.
If you really want to edit mce then download leafpad / vim / nano whatever text editor you want and go, in Xterm;
Scroll right to the bottom of the file and add a
to the line that currently states
so that it reads
If it bricks your phone then have fun flashing!

I am new to maemo(N900).. but still easily understandable.. even though I had to make some search for getting admin authority (enable root to edit/stop/start mce).. vibration disabled and working fine.
Thanks a lot..
