Oreo Vibrations Settings - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I know Oreo expects you to control notifications per app, but what if that app doesn't include an options to disable vibrations? I currently have a few apps that vibrate and can't be stopped; it's bloody annoying.
Any suggestions?

Notification vibrations

Does anyone know why the custom vibration or any vibration setting I set in options don't work for gmail notifications? I set 3 short vibrates, but gmail still vibrates one long one.
I have set custom vibrates in-app for the others that matter-- whatsapp and gosms, but I can't seem to customize the gmail one properly.
I would like to figure out how to change the one long vibrate for default notifications too. I believe the custom pattern you're referring to in the settings only applies to phone calls, not notifications. I wish there was a separate setting for notification vibrations. So changing this may require root if there's not a custom app wrote for this.

Customise vibrate settings?

Is there any way to customize notification vibration settings - either turn them down, or off altogether?
I understand you can set individual app settings but ideally I want to get rid of vibrations completely - I've never liked them, and even when I think I've changed all my app settings every so often a notification pops up with a vibrate!
Is there an app or a ROM that can entirely disable vibration?

Does block all notifications disable persistent notifications in the background?

As per the thread title Does block all notifications disable persistent notifications in the background?
Reason for asking is I am trying out forcedoze which needs a persistent notification to prevent it from being killed in the back ground but I do not like persistent notifications.
So if I block all notifications for forcedoze does it kill the persistent notification or merely prevent it from being shown on the pull down menu but it's still there but you cannot see it?
Prevent app doze / hibernation without persistent notification
Same here. I'm trying to have automatic call recorder pro not stop recording calls if i don't use its UI for a few days. One of its settings called "run in the background" - "wait for calls while running in the background" puts a persistent notification, which i have blocked. I hope that this notification blocking will not lead to the app getting automatically hibernated in the future.

If in Nougat, you can disable it and the app still running in background.
If in Oreo, if you disable it, Android own notification message will come out saying the app is still running in background and draining battery. If you have 2 or more apps running in background, it will be better to disable all apps notification and only have 1 Android notification informing about it.

SMS vibration in 8.0.0 (Android Messages)

I had vibration disabled for SMS in Android Messages but they're now all vibrating even though that setting is still disabled. Setting it to enabled and disabled again does not resolve.
Looks like each individual contact has its own vibration setting which is not changing based on the global app setting. It appears that we would need to disable vibration for every contact individually, which is potentially thousands of screen taps.
As notification settings have changed in Oreo and this only happened after the 8.0.0 update I have to assume it's a bug with the OS.
Am I overlooking another way to disable vibration for SMS or have you experienced the same thing?
Either the Google design team were drunk or this a bug; this is a horrendously stupid design.
It's worse than just SMS too, if you have an app with no explicit option to control vibration, you can not turn it off.
I upgraded to Android 8 just 3 days ago and I'm about to clean slate my phone and go back to v7.
They seriously need to add a global option for vibration.

Notification reminder

Is it possible to configure the edge light up for notifications reminder like how new notification is received? Currently seem like can only configure sound and vibration.

There's a app in the Play store. Search Note 10 Notifications, you'll find it. Make sure you go through the app settings to configure it.
