For all events/calls/notifications/etc, I want my vibration intensity set to max so when my phone is in my pocket I can be sure to feel it going off. However, when I'm using it I want a more mild intensity on key presses.
Does anyone know of a way/mod/app that would allow me to have this "dual" intensity?
From the little bit of looking I've done, I'm suspecting the answer is no, but I can always hope
Thanks for any insight.

I used to have a vibration app from the market called smart vibrator I believe. Hope this is want you're looking for.

I used to use s.e. W810, recently switched to xperia mini. Everything is pretty nice but the vibration level. It's barely sensible. When I have my phone in my jean pocket switched to silent mode, I feel nothing and when I check it to see whether there is any notification, usually I got ,say, 3 messages and 2 missing call
So, it's obvious that I don't feel the vibration. Searched a little about it, but neither could find anyone suffers from that problem like I do nor a solution to increase vibration level. However thought that maybe by reaching the phone's system files that can be feasible. So, is it possible to do that, if so, how ?
Thanks in advance.
I've not had a problem with it, but there are also apps to allow you to make your own vibration patterns. So maybe something with a bit more stop/start would help?

Thanks for your suggestion but the problem is not the pattern but the level of the vibration definitely. I compared it with other phones and it's really not that high like old phones.
Go sms pro can help you define how many miliseconds the vibration for a notification for a new text should last. haven't used any app which can do the same for incoming calls, but it should exist somewhere in the market!
Actually what I'm looking for is to be able to increase the power of the motor inside the phone which creates those vibrations. This is adjustable for sure, cause for instance as typing it vibrates very slowly. So, by playing with codes they can be achieved, at least as theoretically
Change the minimum brightness level from usual 10 to 1. It doesn't modify the autobrightness level map so automatic brightness won't be lowered (though it can be easily adjusted on CM11).
This is so far exactly the same as GravityBox offers (modifying 'config_screenBrightnessSettingMinimum').
But Minimum Brightness offers one unique feature - it also modifies the lower brightness levels in MX Player (free/paid). Because no matter whatever you use manual or auto brightness, MX Player always uses minimum brightness of 0.05 (12/255, 19/255, 27/255, 36/255...). To actually lower the brightness, you would have to turn off brightness control in MX Player or use one of many 'overlay filter brightness app'.
So Minimum Brightness module retains the same quadratic function for brightness levels but includes lower values (1/255, 4/255, 9/255, 16/255, 25/255...).
Minimum Brightness uses value 1/255 which might not be suitable for every display (meaning LCD) but it suits perfectly my Super AMOLED screens (Galaxy S5 / Galaxy Tab S 8.4) and watching videos at night is still enjoyable.
There are many excellent auto brightness apps (Lux, Darker etc) that can use overlay filters to lower brightness even more so it's up to everyone to try and decide.
This module has been merged into new module http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-xposed-tweaks-cm-t3279109. Please check that module for any future updates.
Hello! Thanks for the mod, I will test
Works very nice on Xperia Z2, however minimum brightness is absolute darkness Could you please add an option to define minimum brightness value?

The situation is the same on my Xperia SP. When I set the brightness to miniumum the screen is totally black, also when the backlight decreases after 10 seconds screen gets black.
Hi! Tried min brightness but when screen is set to the lowest level, I get a white screen after locking the phone.

Really great tweak!! I'm noobie in Android enviroment with my new Elephone P3000S and the lowest screen brightness is to high for me so your tweak is very usefull.
I also have the issue that the lowest brightness level sets the screen completly black and I have been scared for 1 hour truing to solve a completely black, touching all buttons but the phone didn't "wake up". Finally, pressing power buttom + volumen up + home soft key it has worked :angel:
So it would be very important to prevent black screen by allowing the user to set the minimun level.
Thanks!
Hey, I know making GUI is a pain in the ass so can you please make alternative version with minimum brightness set to 2? That will satisfy most of people complaining here. Your app is currently the only dimmer working on lollipop.

I will have a new device soon so that could make me change my mind about lowest value and UI.

In the first post you can find archive containing multiple versions of module with different low values.
How to disable this module...?
I installed this module last night, enabled it in Xposed Framework, but did nothing with it. Then this afternoon I opened the Settings menu, went to Display, and before I could do anything else I received a phone call. As I terminated the call, the screen flashed, the phone rebooted--and after restarting it is completely, or almost completely blank. If I repeatedly tap the power button I get a fraction-of-a-second glimpse of the SIM PIN screen at normal brightness. This leads me to the suspicion that, by some weird combination of bad luck and an accidental touch of a finger after terminating the phone call, that the Minimum Brightness somehow got set--although why the phone then rebooted I don't know.
Anyway, by luck and good judgement I finally managed to enter the correct SIM PIN and then the phone unlock PIN. However, I can do nothing else. The screen is still blank, and as the phone is currently unlocked I don't want to touch the power button. Before sending the phone back to the manufacturer or anything drastic like that, I would like to try disabling the Xposed Framework. Whilst trying to find something useful in Windows Explorer I found Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip in the Internal storage\Android\data\de.robv.android.xposed.installer\files folder on my phone. I assume that this should be what I need. However, as I cannot see anything on the screen I would need to know the exact buttons to press, in which order and how many times etc, in order to enter the Recovery menu and do what is needed. According to the phone manufacturer the OS is unmodified Android 4.4.2., although strangely they will not even tell me which keys to press to enter the Recovery menu (long story, the upshot is, they flat out refuse to help apart from suggesting returning the phone).
Note that I only suspect it is the Minimum Brightness module that is causing the problem, however the problem did not exist before yesterday (when I installed the module), and as I was about to do something with the brightness when the phone rebooted itself, it seems too much of a coincidence to be anything else. If I cannot disable the module/framework, the only other thing I can think of is a factory reset--but again I would need to know exactly which buttons to press, in which order etc. Unfortunately at the moment USB debugging is not enabled, and again without the screen I cannot access it to turn it on.
Any help or suggestions hugely appreciated.

Xposed now sports a safemode which allows you to disable Xposed during bootloops. To disable Xposed, you'll have to repeatedly tap one of the hardware buttons (Power, Volume, or Home) on your device during startup.
During boot, your device will vibrate twice when it detects the first key press. You'll then have five seconds to press that same button four more times, with each keystroke producing a short single vibration. After ending with a long vibration, your device will disable and prevent most of Xposed's actions, allowing you to easily troubleshoot problematic modules.
Sorted
Outstanding, thanks.

The MX Player part still works. I don't know about the lowest value of brightness in general but at least with CM12 & Samsung the brightness goes to the hardware minimum by default.
Thanks, this is exactly what I want.
Could you make it for LP ?
I want my phone be absolute zero brightness for driving navigation.
Tested it on CM12.1 Nightly on the Nexus 6. It works here, but on 0 the screen is a bit purple. However, I guess this is the screen's fault

Yes it works
This module seems to be working well on the Moto X Pure Edition (Motorola xt1095) running Lollipop 5.1. It's an AMOLED screen, and I personally find the minimum brightness on 5.1 too bright, so this has helped solve that.
OK so I got my Z4 tablet three days ago. Fantastic construction, fantastic specs on paper.
I had a Z tablet up until last weekend that I sold for a good price and got this as a much needed replacement.
Both are LTE versions.
Anyway, here are some things I've noticed and I would like to have your comments on.
1) The "antitheft" system for the first two days seemed to be a PITA. As my device is set for three users (me, my wife, my son), it kept popping for the others that it locked and needed MY credentials to unlock. I did unlock it at least five times for each, which means I can't really be... far from the device and let them use it. That I use two step authentication, makes things even harder. Once my "authenticator" phone was out of power and I had to wait several minutes to unlock the tablet. Yesterday I updated to latest firmware and I haven't noticed the issue since. But it's just one day, it may come back. Once (before updating firmware) I tried to disable My Xperia (although I love the find my device feature) so they could work, but it kept me "waiting". In the end I pressed back and it didn't get disabled. Any similar experiences with the theft protection?
2) Backlight (set in auto) seems to be too dark some times. I clicked on the intensity bar, set it brighter while STILL in auto (like it is now set to have a brighter "base value"?). Does this sound normal?
3) This is not a Z4 issue, I also had this in Z. It's probably a lollipop thing or I don't understand something properly. Clicking the volume buttons I can set it to "no" sound from home screen. Or so I think. Because even if I set it to "off", apps STILL have sound and I have to RE-adjust the volume to off from within the app (without the "priority buttons" under the volume bar)... Am I the only one to find this stupid?
4) Anybody notices some lag or ESPECIALLY stuck web browser, when other profiles (users) have run apps? If I reset the device and not visit the other profiles, the device is more snappy. If some other user goes in, even quiting every app they run, the device seems to get slower when back in "owner" user. Still fast but not as "snappy". Anybody noticed the same?
5) Any idea when we get Android M? Will we get 5.1 before that? I mean official firmware. Anybody?
6) Is there a way to go to test menu? The tablet Z method doesn't seem to work.
7) Serious. No restricted profiles. Why? Sony support replied that lollipop has this disabled only on 3G/LTE devices (that makes no sense), yet my Z was also LTE and both are on lollipop 5.0.2 and it DID have restricted profiles. What's up with that?
Thank you for your time people, have fun.
...wow
2) Yes.. brightness is usually set a little low at first for battery purposes.
3) There are different volumes for different things. Using the volume rocker on the home screen and putting it all the way down will only adjust ringer/notification volume. In-app sounds will use the media volume which you will need to adjust while media sounds are playing or you can adjust it in your sound settings. Not stupid imo, just gives more flexibility.
5) It'll come when it comes.. nobody knows except google and sony. I'd like to hope we'd get 5.1 before 6.
(pending something on the other questions above)
2) So the set value, when brightness is in "auto" is like a base value?
3) Well I find it stupid. Why: Because when I am in home screen I used to be able to manage the universal audio settings of the device. Turning device to mute, would turn it to mute. As simple as that. Also clicking a simple icon next to volume bar, you could separately adjust notification and ringer and stuff like that. Now? You THINK you set your device to mute, but you have only set the notifications. You sleep in a silent house (next to the wife or something), start a game, it YELLS with the last volume settings, ignoring that you set the device to mute in home screen and you have to "run" and re-adjust the volume to zero, usually with some delay (in the meantime waking everybody) since the device won't let you adjust anything while loading the game. No, I call this stupid.
5) Well if it won't delay 6, I don't mind for 5.1. But I want 6 the soonest possible.
Hi,
I flashed the deer rom based on miui7 to have xposed
Everything works well but one thing. I don't find an option that allows me to reduce thr vibration of the haptic feedback when i tap the screen buttons. It is way too strong and loud. The only option is to disable it completely.
But I only want a softer haptic feedback.
If that is not possible in the system apps, is there an app or module, that i could download?
Is that such a big issue? I cannot imagine that there is no solution for that.
