Change Keyboard sounds?

I've navigated through the system files to /system/media/audio/ui to try to find the Samsung Keyboard noise, but alas, unable to find.
Anyone able to help me out on this? Is there an application that lets you modify application sounds? I understand the ogg file converter and pushing via cmd prompt, so if you could tell me where the Samsung Keyboard sound is that'd help the poppaloppin' noise is too loud for my taste. I know you can disable it but I prefer another sound. Thanks!

I was thinking the same thing. I have the Samsung Vibrant stock 2.2 and with the loud ticking noise it makes me want to turn my phone on silent. But rather than complaining and hating it, I want to make it better. like the older LG Quick messaging phones (I dont remember which model) had a full qwerty keyboard and every different button you pressed made a soft simple little note from a keyboard or piano or something. so whenever one of my friends was typing a text it sounded amusing listening to little songs that can be made by simple random letters being pressed.
So I would just like to know if anyone knows where these files are located, because finding them is the hardest part. making the noise would be nothing at all, it'd just take a few hours. just pull up a sound board and make different notes for each letter. Anyone have any ideas??

UPDATE:
ok so if you get root explorer (obviously needs to be rooted) and go to
/system/media/audio/ui
you will see the ".ogg" sound files. you can replace any of those, as long as you name them the same file names as the stock ones. I replaced mine with the linda voice
link --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962442
it also has an ".ogg" sound file for these:
"keypress standard" (regualr letters)
"keypress spacebar"
"keypress delete"
and "keypress return" I think was the last one (probably the enter button on keyboard)
I'm actually about to go home and play with those and see what I can make.
I still want to be able to do a different tone for each letter but have to look further into that. so far this is ok

Man I've done that 3 times now using the .ogg keyboard sounds I pulled from a different ROM I really wanted, but no matter how many times I delete the originals then rename mine exactly it stays the same! I'm losing hope and patience.

Hey, at least your sounds didn't go entirely silent like mine did! Ugh. I'm stuck here.

Hey I know this is an old post but did you ever resolve this issue? I'm stuck with silent sounds as well, can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Sorry, I missed your response! I couldn't figure out how to get custom sounds going so I just reverted to the stock files. It's aggravating that LineageOS keyboard sounds are so horrible, lol, but oh, well.

Oh hey I actually got this working on my end lol. I was trying to replace the system sounds using solid explorer and it wasn't working, but I switched to fx manager and it worked.

Text Message Tone

I can't change the native text message incoming sound on my new A9
Dedinity not using a 3rd party app. Definitely have no other one on my phone. The only thing I have is Nova, which I am not using. Still on Sense.
Im in the app and goto notifications and then under "Incoming Sound" I select a different one, hit apply, then nothing happens.
Thanks
So Much

Try from the Themes app

So can't I. Believe it is a bug. Know anyway to report to HTC?
Another bug is that if you use set default in app management menu, you'll have no way to clear the default(allow app picker upon action), unless you install another can do browsing, messaging or calling.

I'm confused what app you are using? My default text messages app doesn't say "Incoming Sound" as a setting. It just says "Notification sound" and I can change it without issue.

Can you tell me after you pick the tone from the settings of the message app, will the text still be "Default ringtone(Dahlia)"?

Nope. It changes to what I select (note, I set my default to Lotus).

Sorry for not making it clear. I can chamge to whichever preloaded tone as well. Bit it seemed impossible to use any custom tone I pit in notification folder under my storage.

Go to your "Settings" -> "Apps" -> select "All Apps" on the top; scroll down and select "Messages". Select "Permissions" and allow "Storage" to be turned on as part of the Apps Permissions. Go back to your message settings, and select the "Notification sound" you'd like. After messing around for an hour I found that this worked for me; hopefully it'll work for you as well.

Good find. I've noticed that permissions are a lot more granular with Marshmallow than with Lollipop it seems

Thanks all. Especially CJ926
How did you even know this. I (novice) even switched back from the combined storage to separate storage. Apparently it had nothing to do with that. And I have a lot of my own tones and it also had nothing to do with that.
Really how did you know.
and Jolly, what in this case do you mean by granular?
(I do get 2 text messages to myself when I text myself (I know, a crazy way, but my preferred quick way to note myself. Not just here but in the interim while using the Zmax. Any clues CJ orJolly)
II am getting used to the phone. Like it. Not loving it yet. The hiccups in speed are np. For me it is the size. Hard to go from a bigger phone, Note 5 to this. Typing. I guess it just takes time. Afterall I was once using a phone this size. And iPhone users have for years.

Saved my day! Thanks a lot.

Love the phone. But it is gonna take getting used to from a Note to this size wise

For eric0668, sorry for the late reply as I was at work till very late last night. I guess I was just lucky to notice the option, after messing with A9 for an hour upon getting it. Marshmallow does contain lots of smaller details when it comes to 'App Permissions' (possibly what Jolly meant by 'granular'), which is very nice for customization purposes.
I'm not sure if you've already figured it out eric0668, but you'd have to do something similar like what I mentioned, if you'd like to customize incoming ringtone for individual contacts under your "Phonebook." Go to your "Settings" -> "Apps", then select the three vertical dots on your top right portion of the screen, and you should see a "Configure apps" option. Select it and then select the "App permissions" option. Scroll down to "Storage", select it and then scroll down to "People" and turn the option on. This way you wouldn't be stuck on the "default" ringtone for your individual contacts.
There's plenty of customization options under App permissions, so I hope this will also help you out.

I've noticed with the A9 if an app doesn't work properly then so far it's always been related to the permissions as stated above. After reading this thread I FINALLY got my notification tone for messaging to work. I've always used a particular tone from Zedge. Last night at a grocery store I used (tried to use) my store app to scan my shopper club card. It forced close as soon as I signed in! Later at night I read a thread somewhere online and went to Settings>Apps>Wegmans>Permissions and turned them on. BAM, the app works fine!
Other than this minor quirk, the only things I don't like about the phone are 1) It's so new I had a hell of a time finding a case. I settled for a $6 cheapo online with $15 next day shipping. 2) Without a case the phone is like holding a stick of butter! 3) I seriously miss the front dual speakers on all the "One" models. The only thing keeping me from returning this phone for an M9 is the fingerprint scanner! The M9 would be free for my upgrade, this A9 cost me $150 to upgrade. ?

Random Notification Sounds?

Maybe someone else can help me with this.
Every so often during the day I keep getting a random notification sound with no visual as to what it is. The sound is 5 tones going in a descending pattern and sounds metallic. I do not have NFC turned on nor the facebook app. I checked all my apps and sounds. I even read a lot of threads else where and tried everyone's suggestion. Still does it. I searched my phone for *.ogg and *.wav files. Nothing.
I do have a wallet case but since NFC is off its not that. I've never heard this sound before. It only started a few days ago and I've have this phone for over a month. FYI I'm running the Hola launcher and omni swipe if that helps. Any suggestions?
I am thinking to uninstall ALL my apps and see if it still does it, but I really dont want to have to do that if I can avoid it.:silly:

Bump
Anyone?

Maybe it's the louncher. .. trai with the touchwiz

It's not the launcher. It doesn't matter.
This is why I hardly ask anything here. No one cares.
If your not a popular member you never get a reply.
I'll just ask my questions elsewhere where people actually care about you.

Are you using googles smartlock feature? When I first started using it I was receiving this weird notification which sounds like what you're talking about. It don't do it no more for some reason but man was it so annoying not knowing what the heck your phone is trying to tell you.

Hey there.
I have been checking back on this topic for a while because my wife's Note Edge is having the same exact problem. I even reached out to Samsung Mobile Support and they can't even figure out what it is. All they did was tinker with the sound settings and asked me if it was fixed. I have tried disabling all possible notifications from all possible apps. The only thing left is to do a factory reset it seems. Any luck on your end?

Well that's not a pessimistic attitude or anything whatsoever! lol. Here's the thing... It might help to try and remember that nobody is on here getting paid to spend their time answering your questions all day long, so unfortunately it's inevitable that there will be times when people might just have to figure their problems out on their own or just be forced to wait until someone responds.. no matter how "popular" they might be.
This entire community wouldn't exist if weren't for all of the people on here who have been and are willing to spend their own free time sharing their knowledge with and helping others, so it's pretty ridiculous to sit there and act like it's a personal assault whenever nobody answers your question right away! From my experience on here people (including myself) are always more than willing to help out whenever they can (as long as the people are willing to help themselves too), but since nobody is getting paid people need to realize that it's more of a "self help" type of community than anything.
There are literally mountains of freely available information for people to search through to try to find their answers with, and with enough determination and persistence 99% of the time people could answer their own questions without ever even having to ask. So I'm definitely not trying to be rude or anything but it's just all in how you look at it.. because when people come here expecting to be handed all of the answers then they're most likely going to be disappointed and upset, but when you come here looking to help yourself instead you'd be surprised how much of a difference it makes and how rarely you'll have to ask any questions.
Anyway I'll try helping with some suggestions below since they're having the same problem too..

Ok I've actually had a similar problem in the past and I can't guarantee anything but hopefully this might help..
In my situation it turned out being "profiles" that I didn't realize were turned on, and they were causing rogue and unknown sounds to happen because they were overriding my ringer and media volume settings based on the time of day it was. So all I had to do was turn off the profiles and it solved the problem, but it depends on the rom that you're on as to whether or not profiles like that are even an option.
If not another thing I'd recommend doing (and I'm obviously not sure what all you've tried so I'm just trying to cover the bases just in case) is to get a root explorer (as long as you're rooted.. if not I'm honestly not sure what to tell ya) and navigate to the root folder .. then go to "system/media", and inside there should be a folders called ui, notification, and ringtones.. and this where all of the default notification sounds are located. I would go through and listen to each one of them (they should be .ogg files) and see if you can find a match to the one you're hearing, and if you do then you can just rename that file .bak instead of .ogg and that should stop it from playing randomly (basically a bandaid type fix).
If it's not any of the system sounds then you've basically narrowed it down to where it's most likely an app that's making the sound. If that's the case then what I'd do is go into Titanium Backup and filter it to only show "user apps" and then have it sort them by the date which they were installed, and then I'd just start going down the list looking for apps I've installed that could possibly be making the sound.. that way even if you have a general idea around when the problem started happening you can match that time frame up with apps that were installed around that time to narrow down your search (if that makes sense anyway).
Anyway that's what I would do to start at least and hopefully it helps!

heh. I have an idea. You know those crappy applications on the edge? Some of them are games. I remember i used to have this issue with the memory one. Remove them from the edge. No root required. Just remove the panels from the panel configurator.

Not sure if this is gonna help you or not. But yesterday I started to getbthe same metallic noises, I only recall 1 change to my settings and that was installing the live wallpaper on the lock screen to show me pictures based in weather and such. And since then every hour or so it makes the sound. Try to find out if you did the same thing.

Random notification sound
I am having a similar problem which has been widely reported but none of the suggested fixes are working for me. The notification tone keeps sounding in a seemingly random way. There is no notification to match the tone. This is not just a beep or random noise. It is the default notification tone. (Skyline for completeness). This happens maybe 5 or 6 times in 24 hours. It has been happening for about 10 days.
I am running Android 8.0.0 (Samsung Experience version 9) on a Galaxy S8. The phone is not rooted.
I have turned off all notifications individually.
I have turned off notifications for the phone.
I have turned off notification reminders (it was never on).
I have turned off NFC and bluetooth.
I have checked under Accessibility settings.
I have uninstalled every app installed in the last 3 weeks.
I can reproduce the NFC and credit card issue but that is a single beep and not what I am talking about.
I have installed 3 different notification log readers (NS Notification, Notif log notification history and Notification Log). None of them show any activity at the times when I am getting the spurious tone.
When I re-enable notifications for Texts, Messenger and WhatsApp, I still receive these as normal.
I recently got a new dual band router and thought maybe the tone was the phone jumping from 2.4 to the 5 Ghz band or vice-versa. It wasn't. I thought it might be the phone jumping from telecoms provider to WiFi. Tested that too and that's not it.
Next step is a factory reset which I am trying to avoid.
I know this is bringing problems to the table, not solutions but this is really bugging me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Remove headphone notification pop up

Hi, returning to android after a several year hiatus on an iPhone. Couple of things really annoying me. One is every time I plug my headphones in I get this stupid notification asking me if I want to enhance my audio experience. I do not for the last time! How the hell do I stop this popping up ? Searched around but can't find anything.
Other things annoying me like "Whats new" and other sony crap but I've found some other info on the forum to remove that which I need to try. But nothing on the headphone pop up thing?
Thanks,

"Improve your headphone sound" screenshots attached.

I got no idea either, it's pretty annoying. The normal way of holding down on the notification and "blocking notifications" isn't an option here. I didn't have this problem on Lollipop, which country version are you using?

I only got it the first time Marshmallow opened but not anymore. Try enabling and disabling the option.

Yeah, I have not spotted this either, get the ear icon on the screen, that I would have to manually open to get the screen you show

old post, but just for anyone else:
double tap the notification, enable the sound enhancer, allow it permission to record
then disable sound enhancer again.
this seems to have got rid of the notification for me

Options pop up when trying to change ringtone

Hi all
I'm new to the forum and have just got my first Android phone, a SGS7 and was wondering if you could help me. I've searched around for a resolution but not found one and it's probably a simple nube thing that I just don't get but...
When I go to change the ringtone, an option pops up "Complete action using" then presents the option of either Solid Explorer or Media Storage. I'm tempted to press on Media Storage and see what happens. However, I still don't know where the ringtone files reside on the phone. Are they stored in Media Storage?
This same thing happened when I first got the phone and I fixed it with "Reset Settings" but I really don't want to start over and have to do that, now the phone is all set up with apps etc. Surely the OS should know where the ringtones are, it found them before and I haven't made any changes by putting my own ringtones on the phone, so I don't get why the situation has changed. Any Ideas please?
Thanks a lot

OK, answered my own question. I chose the Media Storage option and all the default ringtones appeared again. So, no longer a problem. Last time this happened, I chose the wrong option (i.e. I chose Solid explorer) and was unable to access the ringtones until I did a "factory data reset" which is why I was asking for advice. I know all this sounds like a dumb waste of time but I still don't know what the **** Media Storage is, or where exactly the default ringtones lurk. But hey, this is my first Android and I will get to the bottom of it all eventually : - )
