Hey i thought i'd share how to change out that keypress sound when your typing
1.you need a file explorer
2. You need another keypress.Standard.ogg sound file
Here's the link i uploaded myself
KeypressStandard - OGG Download, Play, Listen Songs - 4shared
so first, navigate to system/media then you'll see a folder called ui go inside this folder and then go inside the notifications file you will see an .ogg named
KeypressStandard.ogg just change the name to KeypressStandard.oggbak
And move the new file in it's place.
Change permissions or the sound will not take effect
if your not sure about permissions just take a look at the other .ogg
Files permissions a set it just like those
The sound should work instantly but if not, then just reboot the phone and it should play fine after that
There you go! Enjoy the less annoying sound!
