Vibration on/off shortcut
Hey I have been using SFOS for a couple of weeks now, and I am already very satisfied. What I am missing is a feature where I can set the vibration on/off. One solution could be a button in the top menu, where to set it on/off. Another possibility could be, that the volume button could turn the vibrator on/off like how Android does it.
To set On/Off would represent: VibraAlways (always on) | VibraNever (always off).
Should be doable, the code is pretty much already there, it just needs to be turned into a menu entry.
All relevant code/files can be found at

Long tap on the "silent" button brings you directly to the ringtone menu where the vibration selector is the first item. This maybe helps to ease your struggle but I agree that your proposed solutions would be superior.

e.g.: if it's for total silence during night, you could setup Situation to automatically turn it off during night time.

Therefore I need the manual solution to setup vibration. At the moment I use the solution you suggested, Spark, which is better than nothing, but a little clunky and not very satisifying 😊

For the not always part: yup currently clunky. The laziest solution would probably be to put the necessary dbus commands inside shell scripts and have icons launch them.
