Vibrate on keypress is too weak about ubuntu-touch

[giiba]

I don't know if this helps or not, but...

I've been annoyed by the lack of haptic feedback on the 1+1 I recently flashed to UT. I've been using a Nexus 5 and everything works fine as far as vibrations goes so I figured this wasn't a hardware issue as the 1+1 does vibrate, sometimes.

I started digging in the keyboard files:
/usr/share/maliit/plugins/com/ubuntu

and in KeyboardContainer.qml I found lines 85-93: 'HapticsEffect'

and... changing 'duration' from 10 to 25 and rebooting, I now have a reasonable haptics feedback for the keyboard.

So, perhaps all of these missing vibrations are from individual components using too small a duration for the device in question?

Yes thats true, the motor of the OPO is too small/slow to actually start vibrating for short durations. I would however love to have a "vibration ratio" per device, rather than increasing the timer for all devices. I was already looking into this a bit but were not sure how to place that ratio.

This has been fixed in ubports/android_device_oneplus_bacon-1#20

@NeoTheThird are you sure the vibration is too weak on teh FP2? I find it quite usable.
