Help How can I get that typewriter keyboard sound?

mixtape

I currently have a Samsung Intercept (Android 2.1) and it's fairly decent. Unfortunately I had to ditch my Droid and switch over to another provider, but that's a story for another day lol. When I had the original Droid on Verizon Wireless, I loved it. Recently I saw a friend who also has the Droid, and I noticed that when he types, the phone produced a typewriter sound :eek::cool:.

I checked my Intercept settings, but my keyboard "sound on keypress" is just a click. No fancy typewriter. I thought that maybe he had Gingerbread, so I found an apk for a Gingerbread keyboard for the 2.1 OS. While it looks to be identical (or a really great clone), I still wasn't able to get the typewriter sound on keypress. Ironically, the forum is full of threads regarding the removal of the sound, while I am trying to find/enable it :rolleyes:.

The only downside to his keyboard is that he no longer has the predictive text/correction right above the keyboard. That I love. So how did he do this?

I asked him how he did it, and he has no idea :rolleyes:. I won't see him for quite awhile so I won't be able to check his settings, but I don't think that he downloaded any custom keyboards. I thought that maybe HTC phones has these on their stock keyboards only, but he has a Droid so it must be some general Android setting. Hopefully I can port the apk or settings over to 2.1.

Any ideas? :)
 
While the App is cool. Keep in mind that something that generates sounds when
you type is more then likely using some of your battery to do so.

Now don't get me wrong - The battery usage is probably quite small. But at the
end of the day, when it all adds up (Various apps running, texts and internet usage)
this could be the difference between A Yellow or Red Battery Icon.

I know.. I'm nit-picking. Sorry. :D
