Timer (NOT the alarm): any way to set it to vibrate only?

[caspian915]

I've been looking and this doesn't appear to be an option, which is a little ridiculous. I want to set a 5 to 10 minute timer and I don't want to disturb anyone, and I want to be able to quickly reset it. Even more ridiculous, when you google this, you answer upon answer that completely ignores the OP and explains how to set up an alarm.

So is there really no way to set up the timer to vibrate?

even though the answers given on a google search are about Alarms, the principle (or rather, the workaround) still applies if you want to do timers.

you create a silent "sound" and select that where it says "When Timer Ends". That way it'll play that sound, which is silent, and vibrate

Ahhhhh, muchas gracias.

I tried to do this too, but can't seem to insert any sound into the timer app. Any guidelines on how you solved this exactly?
(also looking to get my timer to vibrate but not ring; and also not interested in setting an alarm)

This is a good tutorial I think
