Is there a way to change the sound of the HTC keyboard?

[Guest khtse]

I don't like the default sound of the stock Android keyboard and HTC keyboard. Too treble-ly. I have been using HTC IME mod, which allows me to change the sound of the keyboard with any .ogg file.

But since jonasl no longer continue developing the HTC IME mod, and that I found the latest version of the stock HTC keyboard that comes with Froyo to be more responsive, I wonder if there is anyway to change the sound of the stock HTC keyboard? Afterall, the only reason I use HTC IME mod is to change the sound... if I can do that to the stock HTC keyboard, I no longer need HTC IME mod.

I haven't tried myself, but i think you can accomplish that by replacing the sounds in

\system\media\audio\ui\

With the ones of your liking. Keeping the same filenames of course :lol:

Sorry I'm complete newbie on how to push files from sd card to system using adb.

Suppose I have this sound file called abc.ogg on the root of my sd card, and I want to move it to \system\media\audio\ui\ to replace "KeypressStandard.ogg" there, what should I type?

Rename abc.ogg to KeypressStandard.ogg and leave it in the root of the sdcard, then boot in recovery, mount system and sdcard from the partitions menu,from command prompt on pc or console on linux type (i suppose you have the android sdk and adb set up) :

adb remount 

adb shell

then:

 mv /sdcard/KeypressStandard.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/

exit

adb reboot

And you should be done :lol:

Thanks.

Well, I've replaced the file successfully, but the key sound doesn't change... I guess this method only works for the stock Android keyboard. The HTC keyboard probably has the sound embedded into the app itself. :lol:
