I'm looking for an app that will disable the vibrate when unlocking the phone. I've noticed occasionally my phone won't vib when i swipe to unlock it and it always seems to look/feel smoother when this happens. Any way to do this?

Note: You will need a rooted phone to do this.

Steps to disable the phones vibrator:

1) Root your phone (steps available for most phones at xda-developers)
2) Download a terminal emulator
3) In the terminal emulator, enter the following:
su root

4) Agree to let the terminal emulator have root access (if applicable)
5) Enter the following into the terminal emulator:
cd /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator

6) Enter the following into the terminal emulator:
chmod 440 enable

Explanation:
These steps change the permissions on the vibrator device file to read only so bits cannot be sent to it causing the vibrator to go off. I don't know of an existing app that will do this. Hopefully some smart developer will create one.
