This app will allow you to change the intensity of the vibration your device gives you, some kernels/mods do this specific feature, but with this app you can change it even on custom kernels or stock roms. You just need root.

A while ago I wrote this app to enhance my personal UX on my N4, I've been told it works well with N5 too, since it might be usefull for some of you guys, I'm sharing it here.
ROOT IS REQUIRED. Please read the app description.
Thanks, that really helped

Working anyone?
All intensities from 1 to 95 feel the same!
Yep working pretty well not to say perfectly.
In case it can help I have Nexus 5 stock rom rooted only.
Maybe depending on how much you changed from stock result could be different...

Maybe you're doing the same mistake as i did.
After you adjust the slider to a new value you need to push the "Set intensity" before you can use the Test button with the new value.
Took me 5 min to realise that.. :|
i need to root for this?
thank you mate
Ya it works amazing on mine and I'm on stock odex with root

Yep, sorry about that, last update changed UI and UX "set intensity" is no longer needed, just select the value and done.

Yep, root is mandatory since it edits system lvl files, since apps can't write on those files, root is mandatory to do so. Sorry if it's an inconvenience. u_u
Great app. I was looking for something like this.

Hey,
I need to make something similar for my HTC one (m8) runnig gpe, the vibration is insane.
Could you shed some light on how this app works?
I'm guessing it's a kernel module which changes the vibration intesity?

Actually it does not play with the kernel at all. Turns out that Nexus LG devices have a file with the intensity, so, basically, this app, overwrites that value on each boot to set the user prefered default and from there the system takes care to get that value and go on.
The file locations it's listed on the "FAQ" part of the app. Some people told me to add support to other devices, but they don't seem to have such file, or at least, not under the same file directory. You could search for it (if it's even there) and If it is (under another directory ofc) I could try to add compatibility to my app and solved.
It actually bothers me that people is rating the app poorly just because they can't read this is ment only for N4 and 5 (since are the only 2 that i know of using that method) ... u_u
Hi All,
work this with AOSP ROM? Where can I find the apk file? I have now no internet connection on my phone, so I could not download it from Store directly.
Thanks in advance!
I use Trickster Mod for controlling the vibration because it also does many, many other things.

I've been unable to overclock beyond the actual spec of 1ghz. Yes, I'm pretty pleased having been able to choose, granularly under what conditions it uses what amount of CPU - but I'd prefer to have the physical limit, as opposed to the ROM choose the upper end of the speed. Any advice? Is anyone working on this? Is it locked? Is it irrelevant? The system IS pretty damned snaptastic.
Thanks ...
I think if you specify your own frequency list to SetCPU you can overclock the device.
in order to overclock an android device, you first need to obtain source code (not sure if its available yet) so a developer can tinker with the kernel.
setcpu allows you to set min/max standards, but unless the kernel supports it, you cannot clock over what setcpu reads (stock 1ghz)

Why would you even bother with overclocking this phone? It's already got a Thousand megahertz.. Literally
I'm the developer of the overclocking app, QuickClock, and I was wondering if any DroidPro owners had tried it out? I've attempted to add support for the DroidPro but I've yet to find out if it actually works or not. Should work fine, since it's the same CPU and QuickClock's speed detection works universally, but I'd love to have some confirmation.
Thanks much

My Overclock with quick overclock
I overclocked my droid pro to about 2.0 ghz without any instability with quickclock... it doesnt have a very large performance increase though... just slightly...
*EDIT* Never mind the application was malfunctioning and set my min clock to 9999mhz and my max was 1000mhz i re installed and atm its calibrating... max atm is 1305mhz with a big difference in performance... thanks for the app

Hi. I'm using a droid pro w cm7 v8 vanilla rom. Prob is quickclock gets stuck during calibration. It gets stuck trying to find the BMV. I'm guessing something is blocking the app from changing the value? It gets way down into negative numbers and will keep going all night. I made sure the app has root permissions. Any ideas? Thx in advance

With the development of the minimum backlight settings. I was wondering if someone could make an app or script that you could run to set the minimum backlight setting. Instead of having to pass terminal commands after every reboot. The settings I would like are.
echo 17 05 > registers
Anyone up for it?
Also, I'm running CM7.

Here ya go! SuperDim.
If you want to do me a favor post in the thread asking the developer for a "set on boot" option. He said he would add it if he got a few more requests for it, and it would be a great feature for this app! Dont worry, the lowest brightness is still visible on the Atrix, no way to screw up the Atrix with this like he mentioned he was worried about for some phones.. Also this is a great battery saver. Enjoy.
I'm pretty sure he's asking for a program/script that controls the new low power backlight kernel that reduces voltage to the backlight, not a program that dims the old fashioned way.
Yes, need something to set minimum brightness level after reboot. Doesn't need to be automatic. All it needs to do is issue the commands:
cd sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lm3532/0-0038/leds/lcd-backlight
echo 17 05 > registers
I'm using the edited framework from the minimum brightness backlight MOD for CM7.
Sent from my Atrix using XDA Premium
Have you tried GScript Lite?
I can write an app that does this real quick, one of them sets min brightness within itself but not outside, I'm sure I can get something like this working though. I don't really know how to script but I could definitely write an app.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I just wrote a script and made it set the setting on boot. So no need to write an app. Google is a wonderful thing. If other people want the script I can start a thread and post my script and the directions on how to get it to set the min backlight setting on boot.

oIc. Well i would still be interested in reading about it in more detail if you are wanting to write it all up in a thread. Between the app, the kernel and now the script Im having a hard time deciding what the best method is. I just want to save battery life by having a lower screen brightness.

light flow is just an app. if you dont want to install an app to do the job... then your only recourse is to download a rom. aokp has led functions build in. change color, intensity, durations, and assign colors to apps.
i dont think you are going to stay pure? no matter how you look at it. pick the lesser of the two evils. the stock android experience os overrated. just sayin. maybe back in gingerbread days... but now the custom roms/kernels are more stable and just as fast.
i don't know. i just find it weird that they didn't include an interval adjustment for the indicator. maybe it just editing an xml file somewhere. no one really tool a shot at it so far.

Can anyone point me to where I can figure out what all the sound control means in the Trickster MOD app? The speaker amp control confuses me...I am not sure what attack time, release time, hold time, output limit, max ACG Gain and Noise Gate Threshold do.....if anyone has optimal settings to make the speakers loud and clear I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

not everyone uses the trickster app, nor does every kernel/rom use fauxs implimentation off sound control.
Thank you for replying. I understand not EVERYONE uses it. But one person who could share information or point me towards somewhere I could get the information I'm looking for would be nice. I mean this is a developer phone so we can all share our tweaks and get the most from it right?

1. Screen brightness under sunlight: the S6 was a lot brighter thanks to a special setting enhancing colors, the Nexus is barely readable.
2. Camera software: S6 wins hands down here, on Nexus don't even have exposure compensation.
3. Headphones volume: Nexus is too low.
4. Notification sounds with headphones: the S6 was ringing from main speaker, the Nexus barely emits a sound in headphones, so you may miss notification when headphones are plugged in but non on your hear.

That being said, I have no clue why someone would not root their 6p when it would solve 3/4 of the things they dislike about it. It's like a ten minute process max and is utterly devoid of risk or effort lol

I don't believe so but High Brightness Mode widget is one of the main reasons I have root and the only reason I run a custom kernel.
And the widget works as advertised.

I dont have a comparison but i use HBM and its essential for me to see the screen in sunlight.
Also theres a nifty tasker tutorial somewhere on xda i used and it automatically triggers HBM when light reaches a certain point. Do a search if youre interested. If you cant find it let me know and Ill see if i can find it. More convenient than a widget and it doesnt add clutter.
