SMS and Mail Vibrate Same As Phone Ring Vibrate?

[Xanadu73]

I realized that I posted this in the wrong place, but have been unable to get back to my computer all day. I have re-posted this in the development area. I'm sorry to the Admins and to those who were annoyed by this.

I can't post links yet, but this is the Dev thread ID: 2056609

Hey!

Like most, the tiny one buzz notification for SMS and E-Mail is not enough for me. I was thinking that I'd like to have those notifications trigger the same vibrate sequence as the phone app does on a phone call coming in.

I'm going through the "incomingcall-assistant.js" and a couple others in that same dir (/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.phone/app/controllers/) seeing if I can figure out where the phone app is setting/calling the vibrate sequence so I maybe hijack that or cobble that into the SMS and/or mail notification js (I haven't gotten that far yet to see how these are done).

Has anyone else been looking into this, or know of where the phone app is actually calling the vibrate sequence so this may be possible to hack into the SMS and mail one(s)? Having that one tiny vibe isn't enough for me. I am aware that there's a hack to lengthen the vibe time to one long vibe, but, I'm thinking this might be a bit more of an "elegant" solution (for myself, but I'm sure others would like it as well).


Thanks for any help!

Try this:

vibrate: function() {
	this.controller.serviceRequest(
		"palm://com.palm.vibrate", {
			method: 'vibrate', parameters: {
					'period': 0,'duration': 50
			}
		}
	);
},

Note i took this from the calculator Enable Vibration patch.

If you are interested i can add this to the notification repeat patches once you figure out the vibrate pattern you want.

Wow! Thanks for dropping me this info! This is quite valuable!

How would multiple vibrates get strung together into one "sequence"?

vibrate: function() {
	this.controller.serviceRequest(
		"palm://com.palm.vibrate", {
			method: 'vibrate', parameters: {
					'period': 0,'duration': 250
			}

			method: 'vibrate', parameters: {
					'period': 0,'duration': 250
			}

			method: 'vibrate', parameters: {
					'period': 0,'duration': 750
			}

		}
	);
},

Like that? That would do two quick ones and a long one (buzz buzz buzzzzzzzz), if that's how a "sequence" would be cobbled together. That's a lot of why I was hoping to find where it's calling the phone buzz sequence to see how Palm writes that sort of thing.

What does "period" mean in this context? The delay time for completing one event before it moves on to the next? Meaning a period of 250 would put a quarter second gap in between the buzzes?

Hi and sorry for my english ;-) I am from germany...
Can someone explain me how I open this folder and file in Windows?
Or is there a patch in Preware for 3 vibration at a SMS?

Thank you

Ok, at my Pixi Plus in "/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.messaging/app/controllers/notification-assistant.js" i insert after line 288

this.controller.showBanner(bannerParams, bannerLaunchParams, 'chat');

and before

var data = {
        chatThreadId: chatThreadId,
        messageId: notificationData.messageId,
        messageType: notificationData.messageType,
        name: name,
        address: notificationData.address,
        message: message.escapeHTML(),
        mmsImage: mmsSummaryData.image
    };

this code:

var myTelephonyCommands = {
		vibratorTurnOn: function(){
	        var request = new Mojo.Service.Request("palm://com.palm.vibrate", {
	            method: 'vibrate',
				parameters: {
					'period': 125,
					'duration': 500
				},
				onSuccess: function() {},
				onFailure: function() {}
	        });
	        return request;
	    }
	}
	setTimeout(function(){ myTelephonyCommands.vibratorTurnOn(); }, 1000);
	setTimeout(function(){ myTelephonyCommands.vibratorTurnOn(); }, 2000);

But the vibration does not change!

You can help me??

And this code in line 158 for 1.5 seconds also does not work, after the reboot of the phone!

if (notificationData.keys().length > 0 && this.Messaging.messagingPrefs.enableNotification) {
//BEGIN MODIFICATION
this.serviceRequest = new Mojo.Service.Request("palm://com.palm.vibrate", {
method: 'vibrate', parameters: { 'period': 0,'duration': 1500 }
});
//END MODIFICATION
var notificationType = notificationData.get('notificationType');
if (notificationType == this.Messaging.notificationTypes.newMessage) {

Why?
