Been using this app on icecoldsandwich 5.1 and have found a way around the camera glitch, just use burst mode and set it to 1 picture! The rom now takes perfect pictures I'm no expert on camera's but it might be that the faster shutter speed is doing the trick?
The problem with zoomfx in burst mode is you get not auto-focus and no flash..pictures will look like they were taken from an iPhone 2G hehe...
There's a better app out there IMO for those running ICS roms. Download UCAM from play store and you must be in burst mode for NO glitching. You can touch to focus just like stock camera, turn on flash and it will take up to 9 pictures. Enjoy

Interesting about UCAM. Whatever app is best should be mentioned within the ROM thread itself.
if you check the latest test build you will notice that there is a fix now posted for the stock camera. I am downloading the latest build at the moment
Turn off the annoying timer beep sound?
Hi,
Is there a way to turn off the annoying beep sound when using the timer function? Setting my phone on silent doesn't do it.

Use es file explorer, or something similar, enable r/w system, navigate to /system/media/notifications and delete the camera associated ogg files.

Wither the phone is on silent/vibrate or not, the camera always makes the shutter sound. When recording a video, it always makes a bloop when you hit record and stop. There is no setting for disabling this like my previous phones have had.
Without using a third party camera app (I've seen people on other forums suggest Cool FX which is not free) is there a way to disable this?
Try searching around in the system for a .ogg file that could be the shutter sound and renaming it.

I use an app called "Volume Toggle(free)". I set a custom profile and use an on screen widget to adjust the profiles. Set the system volume to 0. This will also get rid of the DTMF tones, unlock clicks, and other UI sounds.

What app do you recommend for browsing the files? The built in one doesn't seem to do much good.

This works great, but it's a bummer I have to run a third party app to do it. It is nice however that there IS a third party app to do it.
Yeah. It was one thing that bothered me coming from BlackBerry. Every app was customizable with sound, volume, vibration, led, etc. It was great.

Could try SilentSnap:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/silentsnap-camera-free/com.blundell
Have heard some concerns, but it does work (After using it, double check your alarm volumes.. evidently the camera sound is DIRECTLY tied to the alarm volume... making an alternative solution to simply turn your alarm volume all the way down I believe...
HTH!
*Edit:
Looks like .ogg file is in /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
Don't know what affect it would ahve to delete it.. but you could always rename it, and then make a copy of VideoRecord.ogg (which I believe is SILENT), and rename the copy to camera_click.ogg
Should work *shrug*

What would be the best way to find that file? What app are you using to browser the phone file system?
There is actually an easier way of doing this. Here's how to have a silent camera, including the autofocus sound with no external apps or editing/renaming system files. Turn your phone to silent on the lock screen (or use the rocker to go to no sound), then go into your native alarm app and uncheck "Alarm in silent mode."
There ya go. Turn down your phones volume and you have no camera sounds. easy easy
Just remember to turn the sound back on or your alarm will not Alarm
That doesn't sound like a solution. Having to modify your sound settings everytime you want to take a picture, then again when you want an alarm to go off? I would rather someone tell me what program I can use to find the sound file and modify it.

To delete/rename the file, you'll want to use Root Explorer. This requires you be rooted, which I'm just guessing from the nature of your posts you're not (since Root Explorer is often one of the first apps someone gets when rooting).
It is rooted, I'm still figuring out what put on there as far as apps go. Looks like it's about $4.
I found a great solution. It's called SilentSnap. It disables all sound from the system when it opens it. It uses your normal camera and disables the shutter sound. Its free.

Don't shoot me if u allready know or allready posted somewhere else on XDA
On homescreen long press screen and select Shortcuts( or menu>add>shortcuts)
Select activities, sweep to Camera>expand and select camcorder. Et Voila! A direct shortcut to camcorder without starting the cam first.
Feel free to explore other hidden com.google activities without other 3rd party apps
nice one.
I use the recorder alot so this is sweet.
Not bad. I have set up a dock for the camera, gallery and camcorder to easily get to in LP. Hopefully use camcorder more often.

Very nice!!
I use Camera360 for taking pictures but always hated to have the original Galaxy S camera icon on my homescreen as well in case i want to shoot a video.
With this neat little trick i have a special videocamera icon + it´s a great time safer. THANX!!

In some countries no shutter sound is not avaliable in the app like here in Sweden.
Usually the camera sounds are stored in system/media/audio/ui and there you can delete or rename the ogg file to silence the camera.
But I think the sounds for this camera is incorporated into the camera apk itself, because I can't find them in system.
Tapatalked.
Can someone that has the option to silence the shuttersound post their LGCameraApp.apk & LGCameraApp.odex?
Thanks.

Here in Norway "no shutter sound" is not an option so I use tasker to turn silent mode on when the camera app is in foreground.
Just to add on this one:
As disabling the camera sound in (custom) camera apps didn't work I simply renamed the "camera_click.ogg" file in system/media/audio/ui and now I can enjoy a nice and silent camera
Damn can't delete sounds. Hmm

you need RW permissions. using root explorer is one way to accomplish this.

Yes I know that
The sounds don't appear in this folder. They are baked in the camera app itself.

hmm works for me. thats how i used to do it on my gnex too. however, i'm still trying to figure out how to disable/remove the sound for the focusing. it beeps when you "click to focus".

Did you do this on an LG G2?
I haven't rooted my phone yet, but it seems that other people aren't able to find this file.
Just tried the Mobile Hidden Camera app from the PlayStore.
Seems to be able to take pictures without sound but because it's a "Spy" app, I can't see what is within the frame before I take the picture and can't tell if the camera has finished focusing or not.
This has been the only success I've had and it's definitely far from a permanent solution...
I'll think I'll keep it for the few times where I may have to take a picture without sound.
Use Tasker
Set up a profile that when the camera app is open, silent mode is turned on.
Works nicely.

Sorry what's Tasker?
Do I have to root my phone to use it?
Does your camera sound turn off when you set the phone on silent without Tasker?
Setting my phone on silent/vibrate had no effect and using Camera Mute from Glen on XDA didn't help either since I think the sound file is built into the camera app.

Tasker is only the greatest app available in the play store. Not free, but totally worth the money.
Yes, my phone does NOT make a sound when it is set to silent. If yours does not, then Tasker may not be able to help.
On my D801 renaming camera_click.ogg doesn't do anything.
Setting the phone to silent does nothing too, I had used a custom app designed to emulate the Tasker command that others used. No avail.
This is incredibly annoying! I'm in Canada, there's no shutter law, don't understand why i can't disable it.

Same here lg - d801v11b videotron
i have the d802, even in silent mode the shutter sound is still being played.
i installed a third-party camera app (cameraMX) and guess what? no shutter sound. you can disable it in the app's menu.
same goes for camera zoom fx i can't hear a thing.
didn't try out more camera apps though. they're enough for me.
here is d way to remove camera shutter sound permanently(rooting required)
Hi folks..
Inorder to remove d camera shutter sounds u have to root your phone..
Once rooted install the root explorer app in it..
Then head to / > system > media > audio > ui folder..
Select the music files whose name has "camera" in it and delete them..
Thats all!
Note: I recommend u to take the backup of those files before deleting so that u can restore them whenever u want the sound back..
Hit "thanks" if I have helped you..!!!
This is driving me nuts. I just want to turn off the annoying camera shutter sound on my GT4 7. I've tried deleting the .ogg file and I've tried editing the xml to give me a menu option to turn it off, but nothing has worked. I've also tried other camera apps and none of them have an option to turn the sound off. Is there any way to turn the shutter sound off?
I should note that I have a rooted phone and installed the custom stock ROM from the Android Development section.
Bump. Anyone?
I havent found any. The only way ive done it is muteting the tablet.
Root browser and look for that camera_shutter.ogg (I don't think it's called like that it's just a suggestion)

hello,
how can I do that while still using phone on gps or speaker ?
Not possible AFAIK, and that's actually a good thing. I wouldn't want any app to be taking video / photos of me in the background (when I have no idea what it's doing).

Try this dashcam app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.com.roadrecorder It works in the background, so it could work for you.
