[APP][2010/10/27]Vibro v1.5 - Vibration pattern for Incoming Calls, SMS and EMail

[earthjumper]

Hello,

After a long time when I could not continue programming, I am now again a little update. With this update, I will publish the source code, since I barely have time to make the program more.
Maybe find a programmer who put on my make more!

I will also, if I can not continue programming, trying to do here in this thread, give further support added ...

I have wrote a Program to change the vibration pattern for incoming calls, SMS and EMail.

!!! Use this tool at your own risk !!!

Feature:
- Two separate Programms.One EXE for Configuration (VibroCFG) and one EXE for notification (Vibro).
- Multilanguage
- separately config Phone, SMS and EMail
- Vibration pattern set for Phone, SMS and EMail separately
- SMS and EMail vibration set in lengths in different
- Alternate SMS interception
- In what will be Profiel Vibrates
- Choose a Vibrator
- Cab-File that install the Programm

How To...
- Install the CAB on the Device
- Run VIBROCFG.EXE
- Setup Pattern -> Vibrate,Break,Vibrate,Break in ms
- Setup Profile -> In what is to be vibrated Profile (You can see the active Profile in your Phone, under the Profilesettings)
- Setup Vibrator-Nr -> Which vibrator works vibrate. Mostly the highest number.
- Configure SMS,EMail
- Press Exit in the Menu and the Programm Save the INI and Start the VIBRO.EXE
- When you reset you device. Vibro.Exe is in the Startup, so it runs automticly.(After you have Phoneservice)

FAQ
- Pattern repeat x 1 -> The pattern that you have entered is repeated X times (e.g.:200,200,100,100 -> 200,200,100,100,200,200,100,100,200,200,100,100 ).
- You must check the Profile, you want to vibrate the pattern.
- If you want to Backup. Copy only the Vibro.ini...That's all.Vibro writes nothing to the Registry.
Vibro deactivates the vibration option in the Notification Settings. When you deinstall Vibro, you must set this option manually.Otherwise your phone does vibrate when a call or sms/email is incomming.

first reply

Great,

Been looking for something like this
Will test it and report back later.

edit:
First off: it's a complete german program (hope to see it change).
If i understand it right you can set the Vibration pattern with the config tool:
Like: 100,50,200,150
This means 100MS vibration,50MS pause,200MS vibration,150MS pause.
Still playing with it, trying to add a longer rule (like: 100,50,100,50,200,100,200,100)
It seems possible but not sure about it.
CORRECT Me when i'm wrong, i don't understand German, but it looks it works like this.

Not played with the different profiles yet (don't have a clue how that works).

The process (VIBRO.exe) takes about 607 KB memory when running on my Touch Pro 2 (custom WM 6.5)
The config tool (VIBROCFG.EXE) uses 2 MB memory (doesn't need to run all the time).

I would love to help you out translating or reviewing it more (screenshots needed)?

Enough for today...

nice work brother

 

[bbonzz]

works ok, till now, on my HD. I use this pattern:

100,100,100,100,100,300,250,200,250,600,100,100,100,100,100,1000,100,100,100,100,100,300,250,200,250,600,100,100,100,100,100,2000

(it's the old nokia script for valert, that instead doesn't work)

 

[skyli91]

Thank you for the app! My Touch HD has a heart now

Any chances for customizing patterns for sms/mms/mail?

 

[wizaard]

Gotta try that app on my Diamond - V-Alert was great but simply didn't work in the end. As far as I can see, you guys report this one works.

lwiczek: I would also like to see a version capable of handling the SMS/MMS vibration! (Lwiczek - "little lion" - good nick !)

earthjumper: Es würde sicher gut sein, wenn die App die SMS und MMS Vibration ändern konnte! Jedoch - eine gute Arbeit von dir!

 

[TMartin]

Can I disable vibrations all together without a Sprint Tech figuring anything out??? Its an easy way to get a phone replaced

 

[quickstang]

Yep, same here. Sent you a PM earthjumper on this.

This would be AWESOME. Literally amazing to do this as my TP2 sounds like it is possessed when an SMS comes in.

I even think doing say a vibrate and tone would be great. That way we know if it's an e-mail, sms, or mms coming in.

Best thing ever used on the Treo was Butler, and now with WM, i've been looking for something to replace it with alerts, and nothing so far that is even close.

Thanks earthjumper

dream on ... the first thing any tech normally does is hard reset (that alone would be enough to reset the vibration) and overwrite the rom to the latest official version...

Earthjumper, thanks for application, it's very nice. Only sad thing is a conflict with Phonex. Phonex doesn't start after first SR. Warning message says something like "Phonex is not valid WM application". It's definitely Vibra issue. Before trying it, I found same report on one Russian forum. So before installing Vibra I made backup - just in case, installed Vibra, and unfortunately got same issue. After recovering system Phonex is fine again. Seems like I have to wait for this problem solution before I can try your program again. Any ideas how to fix it?

Hallo,
Yes, I work on it. SMS functions already.

Have some more patience…

Ok,
I do not know Phonex, my program make no Registry-entries, or install psomething.
After the start of VIBRO.EXE is read in the INI file and the program puts into the background. Windows Events are supervised, which cause then a vibrating. If VIBRO.EXE does not run, there might be also no conflicts.
Is Net 2.0 or higher installed ?

Thanks for testing...

So you are working on SMS functions correct?

I'm trying to figure out if you meant you are working on it, or it already functions.

Either way, i'm sure you will have something for us on SMS/MMS/Mail

CAN'T WAIT

I'm patient -- no worries or pressure !
And I'm super excited about working sms vibration pattern chaning! (for the moment when phone is on the table I sometimes think it might break it )
Thanks for the great app!

Me too. I was so fed up with the long 3.5sec or so vibrate on SMS with 2 people, I turned the phone to SILENT. This way I didn't have to throw it

I'm patient too

Yeah, I have .NET CF 3.5 installed.

If I built it into a new stock rom, it would get deleted with a hard reset.
