I've been running gingerbread ROMs since the day I received my phone, and one of the few things about it that bugs me is the increased haptic feedback response. It vibrates so strongly that the phone rattles with each keystroke. Is there any sort of variable I can modify, perhaps in some system configuration file, to adjust the intensity of the haptic feedback? I'd rather not have to disable it entirely, as it does help me to type more reliably.

My brother just bought a new Photon 4G from Sprint today and I was helping him set it up. I noticed that the virtual key's haptic vibration was much more "Sharp" than my 5 month old photon. It made me kind of mad that my haptic feedback was so pathetic. So I changed the duration and was so happy with the results I figured I should share.
If you want to set your own values they are located in the framework-res.apk\res\values\arrays
The values are in milliseconds and the stock settings are for values between 30 and 45. I increased my values to 50-52. I am attaching a zip that you can flash to change yours to the same settings as mine if you do not want to edit yourself.
This has ONLY been tested on Stock, Rooted, 2.3.4
Hi guys. I have a strange issue with haptic feedback on my i9300. It is rooted on stock rom. Haptic feedback was working great. I had it at half intensity and all of a sudden today it got really weak. I had to set it at max intensity and it still barely vibrates on touchkeys.... I dont have power saving on. Didn't change any setting before it started doing this. Any clues?
factory reset and reflash stock rom, if it doesn't help then send it in
I was hoping to avoid factory reset or flashing rom :/ any other way?
no, not possible to figure out the cause of the problem over the internet
haptic feedback

I had this issue every now and again - particularly after installing a certain twitter client. It seemed to clear itself largely. After uninstalling the app I havent had it since.
Hello all
I have a OnePlus One running CM12 (unofficial). My haptic feedback for virtual button presses is very weak. I *may* have affected performance of the motor a when trying to solder a Qi receiver into the handset, as I accidentally touched the battery live to the motor causing it to run at full power for a few seconds. Otherwise, I could be totally imagining it and it could be caused by CM12 [edit: I have tried Paranoid Android and it is super weak on PA too]. Either way, I just want to make the haptic feedback duration for virtual button presses a few milliseconds longer so it's more noticable.
I have managed to do this for Google Keyboard in the app settings and it works nicely.
Otherwise, vibration intensity is set to maximum, which is good for notifications, but I really need to increase the duration, not the intensity. Is there a way to do this in Android... like the equivalent of a registry tweak or something?
Thanks
Mike
EDIT: I found an old post here which explains that (at least on Gingerbread):

Being a total amateur, I have no idea how to edit these - any suggestions?
Hi,
I've found that vibrations and the HAPTIC feedback is HARD TO KILL, on my Samsung Galaxy S4 (SCH-I545) running Android 5.0.1 (OC1) Lollipop. It won't stop it's little buzzes! lol
Background:
- Running one of the later versions of the OC1 update from muniz_ri (Thank you muniz_ri!!!)
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-to-update-to-i545oc1-5-0-1-keeproot-t3096558)
- Problem also occurred with my previous version of that same update (version 3 days after muniz_ri opened his thread)
- Problem is subtle and, while I am sure it happens, it seems inconsistent at times.
The problem:
- My phone vibrates sometimes.
Ok, granted that's not a problem for everyone, but I think it IS a problem if:
1) you've carefully TURNED OFF ALL vibration options,
2) You've disabled HAPTIC feedback in multiple menus, and
3) You've even dragged all three VIBRATION INTENSITY sliders all the way to the left/off positions (Incoming call, Notifications, and Haptic feedback)
4) You're OCD like me.
Anyway, after all that, I still notice tiny "haptic like" vibration activations here and there. Incoming calls mostly though I've noticed other vibration activations sometimes when making menu selections, or changes, etc.
It's weird and I was wondering if anyone else has noticed the same thing or if it's maybe a "New Version of Android" thing? (I came from 4.4.2 where the only vibration I couldn't disable was the "power-on" buzz)
Thanks all. Have a great weekend
Specifically...

Specifically... I've noticed I CONSISTENTLY get the little tiny "haptic feedback" buzz when sliding either the red or green buttons to answer or reject an incoming call. wth
Again, I've disabled all vibrations of any kind in every menu that I am aware of (I'm a battery preserving nut) but I cannot seem to stop this version of android from buzzing. (through two different installs of lollipop, btw)
Am I the only one? Does anyone know what I am missing? Is haptic feedback a hardcoded non-optional standard operation under certain circumstances under 5.0.1 (OC1)?
Thanks
Can't stop MY BUZZ
OK seriously, to try to clear this issue, I even just flashed muniz_ri's (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4708661) latest version of the OC1 upgrade with NK4 bootloader ROM.
As instructed in his upgrade without losing root post, I used FlashFire 0.20 and, for the heck of it, I chose his DEODEXED variant. Everything went awesome. I am so grateful to muniz_ri for this upgrade and for all his generous work.
However, my Samsung Galaxy S4 on Verizon's network still freakin' vibrates when it wants to!!!
(Please see previous posts for the laundry list of menus I've configured to try to stop my phone from vibrating when I want it to stop. Also note that I'm running in "Power Saving Mode")
This problem did not happen to me ever under any of my previous android versions before 5.0.1 Lollipop (OC1). When I set the phone to silent it was silent, when I set it to sound it made sounds and when I set it to vibrate (haptic or otherwise) it vibrated.
Only now, since upgrading (and this is my third wipe and update of 5.0.1), does my phone seem to persist in throwing vibes when it damn well pleases. lol
Am I missing something?
Am I the only one?
Is this normal?
Are you having a nice day?
Thanks for any insight,
Joe C.
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.
