With the help of fabiopigi (found the specific file), Snowbird (helped me convert binary to text) and m_101 (For figuring out which part of the code to edit).

All you have to do is download the /System/Library/Frameworks/Celestial.framework/SystemSoundVibrationPatterns.plist
file off of your iPhone (I used iBrickr) and covert it from binary to text.

UPDATE FOR 2.0!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot seem to get this hack working right now. I am searching for a solution and I will get back as soon as I have figured it out.


Once you have the file converted, open it with Notepad or any PLAIN TEXT text editor.

You will find a section of code that looks like this:


<key>Default</key>

<dict>

<key>Intensity</key>

<real>1</real>

<key>OffDuration</key>

<real>0.10000000000000001</real>

<key>OnDuration</key>

<real>0.40000000000000002</real>

<key>TotalDuration</key>

<real>0.5</real>

</dict>




Change the

<real>0.40000000000000002</real>

To

<real>4.40000000000000002</real>




Save the file and upload. BE SURE YOUR FILE EXTENSION READS .plist and not .plist.txt . You will be good to go. Any action that calls on the DEFAULT text duration will be changed to the longer vibrate setting. You can adjust the number to your liking. changing from .4 to 4.4 givs it about a 5 - 6 second vibrate.

EDIT: Be sure and reboot your phone after uploading the file for the changes to take effect. Also, here is an already modded file that I will share for those who do not want to go through the trouble of modding it yourself.

Forgot to mention that I am doing all of this on a PC. I have no idea how to do it on a mac. I am sure that someone can covert these simple steps to Mac.

For those of you that are not DIY I have uploaded the file. You can just download and throw it in the directory.

See original post.

Tnx m8 ! ... How long makes this moded file vibrate the iphone ?

ok then, here's the easy way to do it on a mac


activate wifi and ssh on your iPhone, and be on same wifi network with your mac
start fugu
ssh into the phone - all that "root" and "dottie" stuff...
go to ...
/System/Library/Frameworks/Celestial.framework/
and upload the file one4house linked into the directory
restart your iPhone and enjoy actually getting your text messages on time!

if you want to alter the duration of your vibration, just alter the number between the <real> strings in the OnDuration bit, so that it matches the time in seconds you want the phone to vibrate for. for instance mine vibrates for 1.5 seconds when I get a text message. easy peasy.

five seconds

oooops forgot to add
the OffDuration works like a delay

so say you wanted to have a 15 second delay before your iPhone vibrated when you got text message (not 100% sure if this would affect calls, but yes it probably would), you could edit the plist for the OffDuration to be <real>15.100000...1</real>

then the phone would get the text message and chime accordingly, and 15 seconds later the phone would vibrate.

also make sure to keep the TotalDuration the sum of the OffDuration and OnDuration strings.

excellent work. this worked flawlessly. everyone should remember to turn their phone off and on to ensure this works.

nice find. Neither of us even mentioned that. OOPS. Be sure and reboot after you have edited the file for it to work.

nope it's cool, it's in there. In any case doesn't matter whether the restart is straight after or one week later, eventually the settings would update
