[Q] Disable keyboard vibration at night?

Hey.
I've always had that desire to disable keyboard vibration but only at night. To be quiet around sleeping people.
Is there a way with xposed ?
Or maybe there is a way to create a shortcut or the quick button in the gravity box quick settings that will show up "keypress vibration duration" for google keyboard straight away ?
Or at least a shortcut on the desktop?

I know haptic feedback can be toggled in Tasker which could be triggered by about anything you want such as location, time, desktop shortcut, ambient light, whatever.

Screen wakes after 5 seconds. Feature/issue Marshmallow

After my phone idles flat on a table for 5 seconds at least -I pick it up and the screen wakes. This is a decent feature that I've really liked. But the screen often comes back on even if the phone was never idling. Like if it was in my pocket while walking or in my hand while running. I end up inadvertently playing music or opening the emergency dialer or camera from my lock screen.
How can I disable or customize this feature? I've Google and didn't really find anything this specific. It's not related to notifications, at least I don't think it is..

To disable: Settings / Display / Ambient display / off.
To modify: I'm sure there are a variety of options when rooted. Gravitybox has a few:
Gravity box has option under the power settings: "proximity wakeup (use proximity sensor to help decide whether to wake device up)"
Gravity box also has an option under lockscreen tweaks / shortcuts / "safe launch" - requires double tap to launch shortcuts (from lockscreen) preventing them from being launched accidentally while device is in the pocket
Personally I have ambient enabled in Android settings, the GB safe launch option checked and the GB proximity wakeup option unchecked. Works fine - never had an inadvertant launch of anything from lockscreen. I vaguely recall that checking the prox wakeup option has caused some other problems for users so I don't use it.

Pulse Notification Light

Hi guys,
Trying to get some control over my LED lights! Ideally what I'd like to do is switch the LED on and off using tasker but the tasker action that toggles "Settings" -> "Display" -> "Pulse notification light" seems to be broken (for some time). I've tried setting tasker up to run the command below (from here) but that throws an error in tasker (screenshot) so perhaps the location of that particular setting has changed since 2012.
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/sec/led/led_pattern
Does anybody know the correct command that I could execute with tasker to toggle this setting?
I'm using a OnePlus 3T with OOS 4.1.1 (Adroid 7.1.1)
Cheers!

I'm not familiar with the OnePlus, but I know on my Pixel going into the settings and changing the notification light option ends up changing the notification_light_pulse system setting between 0 and 1. I figure it would be possible to also change that setting on a rooted phone with Tasker shell commands, or something like AutoTools Secure Settings could also do it on an unrooted phone. The setting changes I've tried have usually worked on my phone, except for preferred_network_mode1, so if your phone also uses that setting I would expect it to work. The link below has some information about shell commands in Tasker, and at the top it describes how to list the system settings on your phone, so you can see if notification_light_pulse is used by your phone. Below the link are the Tasker shell commands to turn the setting off or on for my phone, and the use root option needs to be checked so the shell commands will work.

settings put system notification_light_pulse 0
settings put system notification_light_pulse 1

Thanks, this is perfect! I did a quick check to see if this will work on my phone and running:
settings get system notification_light_pulse
returns: 0
Which is correct as I've currently toggled the setting off.

Just following back up on this - I've experimented a bit with this but it doesn't seem to be properly toggling the setting. Here's what I've found:
- Manually toggling the "Pulse notification light" setting sets that variable in settings (checked by using "settings get system notification_light_pulse" in a terminal app - toggles between 0 and 1)
- Manually toggling the "Pulse notification light" setting has the desired behaviour on the phone: LEDs are not lit up when charging when off, they are when on - using this to test as its reliable and easy to replicate
- Running a shell command in tasker sucessfully sets either a 1 or 0 for notification_light_pulse (checked using terminal as above) however it does not move the toggle in the settings screen in the phone
- Using tasker to set notification_light_pulse does not have the desired behaviouro n the phone: LEDS are unaffected (they retain whatever setting was set by the switch in settings before tasker got involved)
Any ideas what's going wrong here?

I'm not sure. It might be specific to how your phone is setup. I tested my phone, and the previously noted shell commands do cause the settings screen to reflect the change on the Pixel, which is different than what you were seeing. Changing preferred_network_mode1 doesn't cause my phone to actually change the radio until the Cellular networks setting screen is opened or the phone is restarted, so I've seen one similar example, where using the shell command doesn't cause a change in how the phone functions. On the pixel many settings menu items can be altered with shell commands, so I'd guess it could be ROM related.
EDIT: It looks like in the following post someone was using shell commands on a previous OnePlus phone and rom. I suppose it's possible there might be a custom OnePlus setting that's being used, and that idea could be tested using the list commands from the notenoughtech site to check if any other option changes when the setting screen is altered. If listing the settings doesn't turn up another option being changed, then it's something that's out of my current depth with using Tasker to make Android setting changes.

I've done a little more playing with this and it seems my testing method was actually at fault in the post above. Changing that setting does correctly set the LED flashing for notifications - it just doesn't affect the charging LEDs. This is actually ideal as I don't want charging LEDs ever!
It seems that in the Oneplus 3T at least this toggle changes more than one setting and the charging LED must be another setting that I haven't discovered yet.
Just to summarise for anyone else that might want this in the future:
If you want charging LEDs on: toggle "Pulse notification light" in display settings to on then use tasker to set the desired setting for notifications using the code above
If you want charging LED off: toggle "Pulse notification light" in display settings to off and use tasker to change the notification settings accordingly

Have some kudos! Many thanks for sharing this information.
Verified on OnePlus 3. Switch off Pulse Notification Light in standard settings and then the Tasker toggle can be used to switch on notifications to be controlled by Light Flow or Light Manager (or presumably Tasker itself). These then are not overridden by any inbuilt charge notifications.
The only downside is that the notification then only appear if the screen is off. I came at this wanting to dim the inbuilt charge notification with an always on night clock. But next best is that I can use a night clock with the bright charge LED completely off :good:

Excellent, glad I could help!
I've never understood charging LEDs - my phone is my alarm clock and I want it face up to snooze first thing in the morning and I definitely don't need an LED lighting up the entire room! I appreciate that others might find charging LEDs helpful, seems like this should be straightforward toggle in settings (possibly with a dimmer switch for your particular use case!)

How to change AOD brightness?

I might be blind.. but I can't find how to change AOD brightness.
Unless it's not possible on Note 9.
Thanks!!!

Settings>display>Always On Display
When you enable it you can click on the text next to the toggle switch and it lets you manually set the brightness or link it to automatic brightness.

Also once you disable auto brightness for the AOD you can double tap on the time when the screen is off and get a brightness slider on the AOD itself

Thanks!
It was not in the Display Settings but in the Lock Screen -> AOD settings.
Made it darker.. because auto setting lits the whole room during nightime

No need for that. Just tap your AOD screen 2 times, u can adjust without goin into settings.
Tap on the clock of your AOD.

That will not work if auto brightness is enabled you have to disable it first

Notification panel like Miui

Is there a rom that has notification panel that shows the settings button and brightness slider on the first swipe just like in Miui? The settings button is on the top right, while the brightness slider is below the quick toggles.
If not, is there a way to tweak the notification panel to make it look like Miui?

you have the playstore app. Miui notification bar, and the voluMIUI (paid) for it.
but its on the bottom, as an overlay. So no, I've asked this too. sadly, could find it.

Thanks, I'll look in the play store.
