[Q] Keyboard Typing Sound - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey XDA, it's been a while since I've been here (2 years ago when I had the HTC Touch Pro and WinMo6)
I just got the Thunderbolt, and I love it. My complaint is with the keyboard, the default sound is too loud, obnoxious and I personally don't like the sound effects. I DO want my keyboard to make a noise when I type, but I don't like the default sound. How can I change it.
Additional Info: I extracted "tock.aiff" from the iPhone simulator (I like that noise much more), converted it into .ogg and replaced the 4 .ogg files in /system/media/audio/ui. For some reason, this worked, but only sometimes; instead of clicking on every press, it clicks sporadically. What am I doing wrong.
Help is GREATLY appreciated.
UPDATE: I figured it out. I had to change the permissions of the files. It works perfectly now (just change them to match all the other sound's permissions in that folder; the first line - RW, the second - R, the third - R. it should say rw-r--r-- when you're done).

I dont know how to help you but smart keyboard has a skin which looks like the iphones and has the sound setting of the iphone also.

Thanks, but I like the way that the Gingerbread Keyboard looks, just not the system typing sound. I'll continue playing around with it.

Change touch bip sounds in system sound??where?

Can anyone help me i would like to change the bip sound always i touch galaxy... Dont have option to change..just for put mute :/
The sounds is in /system/media/audio/ui folder.
TW_Touch.ogg is the bip sound when you touch the screen
In this folder there are other sounds that are played by the various system programs (eg: Camera, unlock screen, battery level ecc.)
Thank you very much..i will see if i can change..look i can put an ogg file or i need to substitute for the other?

Any .ogg file renamed to the proper name would work.

[Q] App / lockscreen with quick call to contacts? (For kids.)

Hi.
Either my ninja skills in googling has lost it's mojo today, or what I'm looking for doesn't exist. Which would seem quite stange.
I have an old unused phone running Android 2.1, I think it's a Samsung GT-I5600 or something very similar. My three year old daughter have all the computers and tablets she could ever want, so I would like this one to be a very simple telephone that she could use to make calls to preset numbers and nothing else. I would like a screen lock that's easy to unlock and then just two big pictures or buttons. One for me and one for her mum. That button should make a call, and nothing else. Perhaps there could be a hidden preference whenever the call should be made thru the speaker or not.
To me this seems like something someone must have thought of before me, but as i wrote... I can't find anything like it.
Do you know of any app / lockscreen like this?
Turns out it was possible to achieve this, with a bit of fiddeling around, with Holo Launcher and Holo Lock. There are some quick call apps that seems promising too.

Powerful friends. You are my idol. If you have time, can you help port MIUI on stock? Hah. I will try this colorful ROM ASAP.
works great and multilenguage on spanish works fine some apps in jap
Most functions are ready and stable.
Except that bugs in CM4.2.2, such as the loudly call volume, as it is in MIUIV5 on CM4.2.2.
Is that possible port color OS based on CM10(4.1.2). As I known, current I717 only has CM10 for stable usage although
it has random reboot.
One more, can the soft virtual key can be truned off? As I717 already has real touch key and the virtual key occupies
the screen and no much usage.
I don't see color OS has more apps and functions than MIUI, but it occupies 400M, why?
As I see, it is another style ROM, but not powerful as MIUI it is.
I check that the color OS is already in V2.0.0 (published on 2014.4.4), but current for I717 is V1.0.0.
I had a bit of trouble getting through the "welcome" screen due to the language but after using it for a day the rom feels pretty stable. I have had one problem though. I'm unable to listen to my headphones through the 3.5mm jack. I get a bit of static feedback through the headphones when I plug them in but the music doesn't play through them. Tried the stock music app and Play Music and no luck. Has anyone else had this problem? Also an option to hide the visual buttons at the bottom would be nice since they take up screen space. Themes work pretty well and look great also.
Overall, I like the animations and my phone runs pretty smooth. Just those little things I noticed.

I didn't check the headphone on 3.5mm jack. Just have a fresh try on this ROM and then switch back to MIUIV5 quickly.
Did you notice the call volume issue? The volume is loudly and you need to press speaker for once back then it back to normal. But it will reproduce again in next call.

Yes I was able to test it out and the first time I called it was pretty loud. I turned the call volume down during the dial tone and the recipient didn't hear an echo anymore through the ear speaker. I hung up and called back. They always hear an echo on the speakerphone but not on the in-ear speaker. I rebooted my phone and tried again and they didn't hear an echo. As long as my call volume is 50% or below they don't hear their voice echoing. I only called one person though so it could be different for another. This was after about 20 minutes of testing.
Rooted by installing flashable supersu binary update. Worked. Installed an incompatible xposed module and it crashed launcher. Love the music place and photo place on launcher screens.(launcher in general was sweet) Would like to get rid of nav bar and receive english interface for color os specific settings. (Example: accounts ask for phone #, name etc in english but agreements and descriptions are in another language making them useless if not deceiving.
Edit: Capacitive keys stayed on as well.

Here's to the beginning:http://en.miui.com/thread-18061-1-1.html
Played around with this again. Showed it off to some co-workers. Didn't kill it with xposed this time. Lol. The following sign in tip helped immensely.
"After the Google sign in screen, ignore the green and blue buttons and press the smaller white characters below. Then uncheck the box on the next screen and hit the big green button."
Just the fore mentioned issues with the earphone plug not issuing sound (sound continues to output through and speaker) and lit capacitive keys bother me.

HelloKlick & 360 Klick Quick Click buttons

I bought mine from Dealextreme:
Klick!
This one is sleek and has a nice contrast of black/silver. Looks great on the Razr HD, like it was meant to be.
Comes in a box with a holster that attaches to key ring and/or headphones.
360 Klick
This one is a bit taller than the other one and is all silver. Looks good on the Galaxy S5 (sorry no pics, the phone owner is sleeeeping) and works well with the S View case.
Comes in a faux leather zip case and a holster that attaches to key ring and/or headphones.
When I got these buttons I was disappointed that they would not work with the Razr HD at all, no matter which rom I was on, but worked fine in all other phones (Even the Atrix 4G running JB!). I eventually stumbled upon this thread and found the way to fix it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/guide-headset-controls-t1997277
Basically you install the Key test app in that thread and find out what the click is being interpreted as by android, in my case it was "BUTTON_1" with an address of key 256. This is wrong, we want the button to be "HEADSETHOOK". (Your button number will likely be different depending on phone model)
I opened /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl in root explorer and changed the "BUTTON_1" to "HEADSETHOOK" next to key 256, saved and rebooted.
(this button wasn't assigned even in stock roms)
Works great now except for long press...Google now likes to take this default over, even if defaults are cleared. My room mate uses Headset Button Controller to get a ton of shortcuts. I just use the basic HelloKlick app
I have made my own Quick Button, will post video tutorial soon, you can check my YouTube Channel and subscribe https://www.youtube.com/RahibSense

Noise canceling (STOCK/UNROOTED)

Hi,
I like this phone a lot but it has some annoying features or lack of them and because I don't want to go through the potentially tedious process of selling and looking for a different one I'd rather request some help in finding a good room and root the damn thing instead.
My issues:
- Inability to disable noise canceling when recording voice memos with a built in voice recorded app (I also tested some other ones and it seems to be present with all of them. IM apps seem to be the only things where this isn't present).
- If I want to set a custom ringtone or notification sound there's no slider on the side that allows for quickly scrolling though many files or a search bar which is insane and requires endless scrolling. The only workaround is to rename the file into Aaaaaa or something so it's placed on top alphabetically.
Nothing else really bothers me besides this but the mic thing is really annoying.
