I used to have a SHARP phone (a Japanese brand) and the camera shutter sound was mandatory (no option to turn off). They explained it's because, well, it's Japan and people use phone camera to take pictures of you-know-what parts of girls secretly in public.
I assume because our new 407 ROM is a Korean carrier ROM (and Korea is similar to Japan in that regard) so the shutter sound is made mandatory too.
GF has this phone and she's been complaining about it. It has been very annoying to her lately. And naturally she blames me for flashing her these ROMs (she's not into dev'ing or flashing stuff, she's sort of a "simple" phone user). It's probably the only problem I have with this ROM. Sometimes she just wants to take a picture quietly in public, like taking a picture of the beautiful and tasty plate of food while in a restaurant etc but the shutter sound can't be turned off.
Anyone has any suggestions?
By the way, I tried installing some third party camera app but no luck, the sound can't be turned off whatsoever. Looks like the sound is not at the app level, but rather has been built deep in the system level.
From camera app, Configuration --> Shutter Sound is missing?
You can "disable" the shutter sound by simply deleting the audio file with an file explorer and root access. That's the way I did with all my roms before
It doesn't work with the autofocus sound though, or at least I haven't found the corresponding audio file. In my opinion the autofocus sound ("beep") is far more annoying

That's a tremendously great idea. Do you still remember what the name is for the audio file that corresponds to the shutter sound?
If you turn system sounds down to zero that should disable both the shutter and auto-focus sounds. You can use a tasker profile to do this whenever the camera app runs or use a volume control app that exposes the system volume like Volume Control + or Volume Control.
Edit: No root needed for this method.

No sorry, don't remember it as i don't have it anymore. But as far as I remember there are only ~20 audio files, so you can check them by hearing in a few minutes, if the file names aren't that clear
set build.prop to
Code:
ro.build.FEATURE_SHUTTERSOUND=0
the line appears 3 times because an entire group of things appears 3 times, just set all 3 to be sure (or fix the repeats, just dont make any mistakes)
Gonna take some naughty pictures now?

Changed all three to 0 still no good. Shutter sound is still there after reboot.
OK I see what's going on. GF repeatedly told me there's no such setting in camera app. I just double checked, there is.
In Camera settings, the rightmost setting, scroll it down to the bottom, there's a setting to let you turn off the shutter sound. So problem solved.
Sorry again for being a complete idiot.
oh yea i forgot to say the last part, setting those to 0 will make that option appear in the camera app now, that entry is removed when the line is set to 1
I see. Thanks. So it was indeed because of your solution. Thanks.

Hi
[EDIT] my phone = I9300, OmniRom = latest (with a maximum of google apps disabled/alternatives preferred)
I can't quite figure that one out:
On every single system update, I lose my settings in terms of my custom ringtones, alarms...
I tried 3 different ways:
- I copied them into System/media/audio/ringtones & alarms --> after every update, my custom sound files cannot be found anymore and are therefore not available to select from Settings > Sound > Phone ringtone & Default alarm sound
- so then I copied them into sdcard/media/audio/ringtones & alarms --> althought they remain there after every update, they are not available from Settings > Sound > Phone ringtone & Default alarm sound
- so finally I copied them into extSdCard/media/audio/ringtones & alarms with the same effect: althought they are still there after every update, they are not available from Settings > Sound > Phone ringtone & Default alarm sound
Somehow this looks like a bug to me...
Can someone please explain how I can preserve my custom ringtones after system updates?
Thank you VERY much
beng
How did you copy them? It might be a selinux/permissions problem.
For reference, I haven't had any problem on my Nexus 5 (all internal ext4 with emulated sdcard) with
Code:
[email protected]:/ # ls -lZ /sdcard/Alarms/
-rw-rw---- root sdcard_r u:object_r:sdcard_internal:s0 Luminescence.ogg
Code:
/sdcard/Alarms, /sdcard/Ringtones, /sdcard/Notifications
Those are directories especially for custom sounds, which of course will survive ROM updates. Why don't you put them there?

done just that: my custom sounds don't even show up (Settings > Sound > Phone ringtone & Default alarm sound), nor after a reboot!
honestly this is a major bug as far as I am concerned - I keep missing my phone calls as the ringtone will default to none, makes the whole point about having a mobile pointless!!!
Until you can give steps to repeat, that someone else can repeat, it appears to be a problem that is specific to your phone and configuration. If it were a significant bug, you wouldn't be the only one claiming it was impacting them.
Nothing personal, but unless you can replicate this on a fresh install, without additional software, and document how to repeat it, it likely will never be considered an OmniROM bug. One you can do that, a JIRA is perhaps the right way to raise attention on the issue.
As a note, opening additional threads will more likely get you labeled as whiner than get faster resolution. One is plenty.

Hi jeffsf
well I thought the steps were clearly detailed in my initial post?
The custom sounds I would like to set up as custom ringtones / alarms are snippets edited out of full mp3 songs (generally a loop edited out of the intro); If i use the default (boring) sounds provided, I keep my settings.
I first copied my custom snippets into System/media/audio/ringtones & alarms ; this works until I reboot following a new nightly update, my settings are lost; the ringtone is back either to the default one or to none (worse option as I miss my phone calls - I cannot work out a rule as to the default ringtone/none reset, sorry!); my custom sound files cannot be found anymore in the ringtones folder and are therefore not available to select from Settings > Sound > Phone ringtone & Default alarm sound
My second attempt was then to copy them into sdcard/media/audio/ringtones & alarms ; although they remain there after the reboot following any new nightly update, the settings are lost from Settings > Sound > Phone ringtone & Default alarm sound.
So my third attempt was to copy the snippets into extSdCard/media/audio/ringtones & alarms but it had the same result: although they are still there after every update, my previous settings are lost and the snippets cannot be selected from Settings > Sound > Phone ringtone & Default alarm sound ...
After all these tests, I am even more confused; I do not know/understand for sure what folders Android uses primarily / secondarily for ringtones / alarms...

I do get the point! Not my intention to whinge but as explained, there is not much point in having a silent phone!
First I asked a question (support); clearly no working solution can be provided
so I take it to the next level: software correction requirement (indeed JIRA can be the software to use for this - this is actually what I am using at work!)
Or the solution is to choose another rom, shame really...

Your observed behavior is clear in your first post, so there is no reason to repeat it. It adds no information by doing so.

A tiny snippet of new information. But still, you haven't identified what format you are using on the device or how you are copying the files into the directories you are using, only on your source.

Or clearly it isn't a problem with the ROM. If it were a general problem with the ability to set and retain ring tones, there would most likely have been at least one other person who reported similar problems as you.
Unless you can replicate this (a) from a clean install, (b) without other software installed, (c) using a directory intended for the function, (d) clearly identifying how and where you have set the ring tone, and (e) how you updated, it most likely isn't a ROM bug.
GIven that this isn't impacting anyone but you from what I can tell, I would look at your own software, configuration, or use as the most likely cause.
Note also that two people in this thread have already clearly identified directories for these files that do not have the issues you mention.
unsupported audio format?
Hello,
I built omnirom from last sources and I I was in the same situation. My mp3 wasn't recognized anymore (regression? developper choix? I don't know)
Workaround: I converted them into ogg format, and it works like a charm (on my HTC Explorer).
Hi
Hey, for the first time I realise yesterdays nightly (20141030) solved this ongoing issue I had given up on:
it preserved my custom ringtone and alarm and I did not need to reset my ringtone & alarm after the update as I do after EVERY SINGLE update - a pain really!
Please keep it as such - thanks A LOT
cheers

Nothing has been changed that would affect this.
Also, you probably stopped getting responses because your responses were inconsistent. Post 3 provided the standard location where these files should be placed.
In post 4 you claimed exactly that, EXCEPT that in Post 6, none of the directories in post 2 were in your list of things you tried...
In the end it really doesn't matter. Your device is getting dropped with L as it hasn't had a maintainer in months and there is no one to fix I9300 issues.

I can only report it works now.
Post 1 were the initial steps I took
I did as advised in post 3 ; this was post 4
Post 6 was only a repeat of post 1, not including steps from post 4, but these were carried out too, to no avail too.
Just forget it now.
Thanks
please help.
I have KITKAT 4.4.2 on my galaxy Note III . i have been looking for a specific UI sound and i could not find it.
the sound usually plays when you are within the gallery application and you ( touch and hold ) any picture or video for selecting / deselecting more than one element to move or delete .....etc it sounds like a tick or click some how .
any way if any one of you guys have an idea where that sound might be? please tell me because i have searched for it in the following directories and i could not find it >> system/media/audio/(UI,Ringtones, allarm,notification)
here is a picture explaining what process was going on regarding the Question
Hello,
Someone knows what system sound is for which event ?
at Samsung Galaxy S8 . a List of Systems Sound.
sorry - my english not perfect.
thank you - Pepe

You can assign various sounds to most events. Some will also allow mp3 sounds. For text messages it's required you copy an mp3 sound to your notification folder by pc, in order to use it. Apps usually have the option of choosing a different sound also.
System sound is a general one, and could mean a number of things that share the one sound selected.
Just assign different sounds to various items available through settings or your app. Over time you'll know which one goes where.
BTW, your list of sounds is just a general one, they have no function but the one they are assigned to, if they are assigned. By default there are just a couple of sounds in use, which makes it obvious you need to make some changes yourself.
