Keyboard sounds?

I'm looking for an app that will add typing sounds of some kind while using the hardware keyboard on my G1. I'm coming from a modded, OpenTouch flashed and overclocked HTC Herald/T-Mobile Wing which had the option to add sounds for hardware button presses. I'm a big guy with BIG hands- my two thumbs placed together stretch from the "A" to the "L" on the G1 keyboard. The G1's keys are smaller and don't have the healthy, positive feeling "click" that my old Wing/Herald did, which makes it hard for my big ass thumbs to register if I've depressed the button. I end up backspacing a lot to correct double typed or missed letters. Having sounds would help sooooo much. Even the same sound you can set for screen touches would be perfect.
Does something like this exist? Could an app be made?
~edit~
Just realized I should have posted this in the apps forum....sorry! Move if needed!

hmm good post. I would like to know this as well, would be a great feature addition.

maybe someone can create a sound not when it opens but when ever the screen is rotated?just a thought

no offense, but that wouldn't really help the OP
and it would be a nice feature. god knows how you'd do it though

This would be an absolute must have app for me....I'd pay for it without a second thought.

ttt....
My hope is that some super secret squirrel developer will see this and whip out the appropriate app and beam to my phone in 3.2 seconds. lol

i was wondering about this also!
jealous of my friends sidekick..
i dont care what anyone says i find noises to be entertaining..

Same here.... I was using my buddie's G1 for few min, I had to turn on audible selection. Lack of noise was driving me nuts!!! lol

ttt
10 char

its quite possible to do it. i dont know how though
in the coding, there is a keyboardhidden and keyboardexposed recognization...
we just need to find a dev interested in it

i would like this also!
i love using the on screen keyboard because of all the sounds and the different ones for space and delete and if i could have it on my hard keyboard also i would most definitely pay

You guys know about Haykuros keyboard mod? The one that gives the hard keyboard predictive text? It also gives you key pressing sounds like the VK does.

can you link us to this?

if you use haykuro's HTC IME you can tell it to make typing noises when you click the hardware or software keyboard.

Hope that this helps.

Could not have said that better myself, it looks better to and the long press on the smilies is nice too

It doesn't have a voice-input button on it, does it? If not, that's a deal breaker for me.

Does any 3rd party keyboard?
I have Smart Keyboard Pro and SwiftKey and they have no voice key.

I am the Senior QA Engineer at Swype. A voice-input button is a sorely missing feature for us too. We are looking at what it would take for us to integrate a feature like that, but we don't have any time frame for when that might happen yet. If you would like to see that feature developed more quickly, please give us feedback on the Swype Forums.

We get it, it is a feature you want... but please vote anyway so that we really know how important this is to you guys.

Thanks apparently i searched for the wrong thing haha.

i received the email and clicked the link from my phone but it doesn't recognize my device as an Android device. is this because i'm not using the Stock Nexus One ROM (e.g., i'm using a custom ROM)? thanks in advance for your answer.

Oh they made typing in landscape easier... Or more so better. I like it, and I never exactly hated it either.
Oh it seems they made typing without swyping easier altogether, I typed this entire post with swype. Good job! Loveee it..

So typing normally is better on Swype than on the original Android keyboard?

Hmmmm, send me a PM. I may not be able to get to it this weekend, but I'll see what we can figure out. I know why that might happen, but I'm a little surprised that you are experiencing that with a custom ROM.

We're working to improve that experience as well, but for obvious reasons, we tend to focus most of our efforts on Swypeability.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
I've been waiting forever for this!

I dont know if my opinion will matter, but im typing in landscape with very minimal mistakes, without even having to Swype! Im gonna go off a limb here and say this is definetly better the stock keyboard.
The bad thing is though, it doesn't have auto correction with just normally typing.. (big downer) but the accuracy is so good it can kinda be rarely needed. I believe that still should have been an inclusion.. Though.
Edit: yes it does looked in settings.. Lol

PM sent. thanks for responding.

Oh this is so awesome! Downloaded and installed without a glitch. Will start to try out typing on this.

i'm on CM latest stable, had 0 problems getting email, downloading, installing

Hmmm...
Have registered, got the email, got to the link...tried downloading but it's stuck with no data being transferred.
Anyone else experiencing this?
edit:
it downloads now...no idea why it didn't earlier...this version is much better than the ones released in the forum earlier... my default keyboard now

[REQUEST] App to flash the bottom key led's for alerts

I am wanting an app to flash the bottom key leds for alerts and such.

I second that motion

Very Cool Idea

different sequences would be cool too!

Great idea....hope this happens.

that would be really battery consuming if you leave your fone siting somewhere

way cool, just hope it doesn't kill the battery even more.

Here is one TheJza over at SDX created for the samsung moment. Once again all credit goes to him.

Yeah that sounds awesome, lets hope someone can figure this out!
Only problem I see is that I think the bottom row backlights could all be one light so we may not be able to get patterns and such :\

Agree I would also love to see this app! Tried the apk posted earlier which worked for the Moment but it doesn't work on our phones. Hope one of the brilliant people on here can make one! =)

I like the sequence idea. Maybe a different sequence for each type of notification. Pans left for SMS, right for Email, etc. Or maybe each light blinks individually depending on the type. Think that would be BA.

Interesting, now to add it into notification

Anyone intrested in trying to implement?

The big thing people wanted on the HD2, was a KITT style...which still would be bada** but they couldn't ever get it to work like that...
Maybe someone can do it with this phone, but I doubt it...I really hope so though.

Great idea! I would love this, also would donate to the cause.

Anybody manage to get this working?

Would LOVE for this app

Lockscreen Response FIX!

So I have been reading on all the "problems" that this device has, and I've stayed pretty quiet about all the griping over minor things. (coming from the Vibrant and the G2X makes me pretty resilient to "bugs".
Sadly no one ever really talked about how it is a software problem. Everyone wanted it to be hardware related even though the touchscreen works for every other app.
(hops off soapbox)
Here's the fix, it's quite simple.
1) go to HTC hub and download a new theme (mine was music lover)
2) apply the theme
3) reboot phone
4) pull the ring to unlock
5) go back to XDA and hit the thanks button

I've replaced mine so I don't have it right now.
Unresponsiveness is not just lockscreen issue. It was effecting every apps on mine. I couldn't type, get carousel effect etc. Does this solve all of these?

Give it a try....won't hurt ya one bit to change themes. When ya get your device back of course.

Looks like you didn't read carrefully As I said I've replaced mine so I don't have this issue on my new device. That means I can't test this.

I never had unresponsiveness in any other app. Maybe I just got a perfect Sensation... well almost perfect (s-on)

Mine is so damn responsive, sometimes when I scroll the application drawer a little bit it opens an application

I saw the 'unresonponsive' threads, and was somehwat amused, since my screen appears to behave normally...but for the heck of it, I tried the carousel, and could NOT get it to rotate fast AT ALL! Other regular nav/touches worked fine. I just tried this 'fix', and can now get fast rotation on carousel easily! It was worth clearing defaults (LancherPro) and playing with it to get this 'fix' working. Now, back to LPro!

I posted this on another thread but I noticed that if you swipe really fast on one screen, without moving between home screens, it will always spin.
Just swipe really fast.

tried this fix and didnt work

Can you just apply one of the themes already on the phone? busted did not work, no thanks here. Just dloaded and installed music lover, no go. Who said the problem works in every other app? mine does not. Anywhere you try to swipe/scroll. home screens, contacts, pictures, LOCK RING, fruit ninja.. registers as a touch( a lot of touches) instead of a swipe. I dont think a software update will fix it. If it would then it should work when i restore phone to factory defaults, it does not, yet it worked fine at those same settings when it was new.

That is the problem! lol that is NON responsive. Swipes are not registering as swipes, instead registers as a tap. Thats why an app opens. I open an app almost every time i try to scroll through the app drawer. NOT how it should be.

No it does not. Not on mine. Yours will get worse untill that doesnt work for you either.

Thank you for this.

Why you always gottqa be freaking negative? Even on the fre3vo thread you freaking out on people. I tested this on mine, 1 swipe and the carousel appears.

I have to agree this did make a difference in the 3D carousel spinning. I don't know about other issues as I have not had them yet.

Ok let me be positive and see if that helps. brb.. Nope, still no carousel. All i did was inform you that what you think is actually good, is in fact one of the issues. Our sensations should not be opening apps when swiping. My evo didnt, my N1 didnt, my iphone didnt, but the newest latest and greatest device does. I have a right to be negative. Sorry if i offended you.

You often have to to to Settings->Language & Keyboards and activate the new keyboard first too. It used to be you could long-press on a text field to change the input method but that doesn't seem to work now. Maybe its an ICS change, or something related to Sense? Not sure.
By the way, have you already paid for Slide-It? If you're just using the trial, you might want to try the Swype Beta as well, as I find it works pretty well, and is free.
