You can enable a camera setting for shutter sound by editing the feature.xml file in system/csc as follows
Using an app like Root Explorer go into the system/csc directory and mount as R/W
Open the feature.xml file in text editor and locate the following line
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>false</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
change the false to true then save and reboot your phone. You will now have a setting for shutter sound in your camera settings.

Could you tell me where exactly is the shutter.wav file?
It's in: \Windows
It seems I don't have write access, how can I fix this?
Ditto, i don't have write access either. I'm able to locate the file using Touchxplorer and Adnvanced Explorer, but if I try to delete it it gives me an error saying it can't. i have verified that my phone is still unlocked using Chevron, so I'm not sure what to do.
Is there a way to enable write access in the windows folder? A registry change possibly? Any answers would be greatly appreciated.
when i tried to do that it show acces is denied
Ok shutter.wav for picture but now what's the sound for the 'bip' when videorecording ?

[Guide] How to disable stock camera shutter sound on your X10!

Some people with certain branded x10 handsets (like those on T-Mobile UK) do not have the option to have no shutter sound in the stock camera app, this very short guide will tell you how to disable it.
You must be rooted to be able to do this, although, if you do not wish to keep your phone rooted, you can temporarily root your phone using z4root, then follow this short guide, and phone will no longer be rooted after phone restarted.
First of all (after root) you need to download root explorer ($3.87 / £2.50) from the market.
Alternatively, if you do not want to buy root explorer you can download ES File Explorer for free, but to enable root access, you must do the following...
1) Open ES File Explorer
2) Press menu, then press Settings
3) Scroll down to Root Options
4) Check the box next to Root Explorer then press Yes, then press OK
5) You now have root access using ES File Explorer
​For users using stock 2.1 that cannot disable the shutter sound, do the following...
1) Open your chosen file manager (Root explorer or ES File Manager)
2) Go to.... /system/media/audio/camera
3) You should see sound1, sound2 & sound3
4) In each folder, delete shutter.ogg (or you can rename .ogg to something else incase you want to restore it at a later time)
5) You should now have no shutter sound
To disable shutter sound on stock camera for custom ROMs on 2.2+, do the following...
1) Go into root explorer (or ES File Manager)
2) Go to... /system/media/audio/ui
3) Delete camera_click.ogg (or you can rename it like i did incase you want it at a later date
Hope this helps the people frustrated with the shutter sound lol
Now we need someone to post a list of alternate sounds so we can experiment.

Well sound files can be converted to ogg files HERE
The camera sound uses ogg files
why use explorer? all you have to do is go to camera advanced, then camera shutter and select none its simple

sorry didnt realize it was for branded firmwares

Sorry this is a very late reply, but try it again, it should definitely work
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
change the .ogg file extension to something like .dog - that should fool it
If you leave the files as .ogg it will just play any sound in the folder if it can't find the one it's looking for

Nah it's cool.
The easiest (and probably most people did it) way to remove this is by updating the FW to 2.1.B.0.1.
There's an option there to disable camera shutter sound.
Well I now have a Desire HD so I no longer use my X10, which explains why I don't go on these sections of the forum often, and I don't know the latest firmware releases

Disable camera sound on Samsung Galaxy S II running ICS 4.0.3

1 - use Root Explorer to open /system/build.prop file (open in text editor)
2- add " ro.camera.sound.forced=0 " in the bottom of the file (ps: dont include " ")
3- save and exit ,
4- reboot you phone
after booted,
if you want to disable the camera sounds (shot sound and focus sound), just changed the system sound to silent or vibrate.
you will get a no-sounds camera.
I m using ICS and it is working
odlicno!
Awesome. Tnkz!
im running ICS 4.0.4 with Hydrogen mod
AOIK 3.0.28 kernel and have an option under sound to turn camera sound off
Take a look at that option i know resurrection mod has same option
I dont have an ICS device but on my gb device I just renamed (mv) the shutter sound file and there was no more sound when I take pictures... It should be the same for ics. use an adb shell or terminal emulator on the device to "find / -name *.ogg" and you'll figure it out. You will need root to mv the file as well as to use the find command (I am not sure if you need to install bbusybox for find).
Awesome. Thanks!

! EDIT found out why and how. Worked as a charm. Thanks
With ES File Explorer I can browse /system/ and open build.prop in txteditor, but I can't save it (denied) ... any idea why?
ES File Explorer isn't in SuperUses app list ... do I need to add it (and if how)?
! EDIT found out why and how. Worked as a charm. Thanks
Thanks....
If on any stock ICS rom, if you just set your phone to silent or vibrate it will eliminate the these sounds. No need to root or edit the build.prop

Any solution to totally disable the camera sound ?
Search on the forum, found several tips but it's not working on ICS 4.03 (XWLP7).
Thanks.
Just tried this trick, but I'm now stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S2 - GT-I9100" boot screen. Ben there for serveral minutes, trying to remove batterye right now.
Nothing else changed between my previous reboot earlier today than editing this build.prop...
hi guys, i did this and i got bootloop.

So I'm not the only one... Any way to access/edit the build.prop when booting in CWM recovery or download mode?
edit: reflashed with LP8, and this time I did the build.prop edit with a dedicated tool from the market (and not ES Explorer, which uses charsets not correctly interpreted by Unix). Works like a charm

I can confirm that on both xqlp7 and xwlp8 this does not work.
Part of the solution is dumping all sound files you find annoying (shutter, power connect, etc) but the super irritating LOUD focus beep is hardwired in the camera software, so it seems. I wish there was a simple hack for that!
it's working as charmed.. will settings after rom update stay or should I renew settings after every flash procedure?

My device and SDCARD was encypted, got the bootloop and had to use ODIN to get back -lost everything. I too used ES Explorer to edit-
Guess I should read instructions better
anyway- Beware, like CoinCoin says -don't use ES Explorer to edit.
When you're rooted, you can delete or rename the following files:
/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
/system/media/audio/ui/camera_focus.ogg
/system/media/audio/ui/VideoRecord.ogg
yeah but I like the camera the way it is (basicly, I like stock things )... I just don't want it to make a noise when the phone is set to vibrate/silent. When it's on general, I'm not bothered by sounds.
The ogg files removal is an edit for all modes, whereas this tweak is just to get it working as it should.

How do I disable the camera shutter sound? I already tried deleting the UI files.

How do I disable the camera shutter sound?
I'm rooted, so I already went to /system/media/audio/ui and deleted cam_snap_0.ogg as well as camera_click.ogg. Usually, that does the trick - but not with this phone, it seems.
Do these files exist in multiple locations? Does the camera app have a different file in its own directory?

Well, sure, but there isn't always time, and you won't always remember to take the extra step. I'm looking for a more permanent solution.
I can always use another camera app, but at this point, I'm also curious to know if there's a way to do it for the stock app.
Overwrite the sound files using the attached file (after you unzip it).
As root go into /system/audio/ui, from here you may want to first backup the files on this list, in case you want to restore the ui sounds.
File List:
Code:
af_failure.ogg
af_success.ogg
cam_snap_0.ogg
cam_timer_1sec.ogg
cam_timer_last.ogg
camera_click.ogg
Camera_Timer.ogg
camstart.ogg
camstop.ogg
continuous_shot.ogg
shot_snap.ogg
shutter_mirror_down.ogg
shutter_mirror_up.ogg
wheel_effect.ogg
Overwrite each and every one of those with the attached, unzipped file, make sure their permissions are set to 0644, and it should be totally silenced. (I think all the files might be overkill, but it covers all the bases).,
Good luck
Deleting audio files won't work, they need to be replaced.

The attached zip only has 1 file in it?
Sent from my VS995 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Can I replace the files?? I dont have root!
I grabbed all the files and listened to all of them, and for what it's worth, I don't think I heard any files that matched the sound I hear in the app itself. I'm thinking that the default Camera app may provide its own sound internally. If that's true, then the question becomes whether it's accessible as a file, and if so, where is it stored.

No. Root is needed.
this was driving me nuts deleting all the files listed above and still had the camera shutter sounds.
so i followed this and copy the silence.ogg to create all those ogg files. move them to the phone. using rootbrowser, delete those same files from system/media/sound/ui then copy newly created files. close out the camera completely and reopen. this did it for me. thanks guys.
and yes you need root.
just goto my thread under themes and apps. I made a zip of every file you just paste into system and it'll be silent.

I tried the same steps and failed. Didn't stop my camera shutter sound. But it stopped my TOUCH SOUND (play sound when you touch an item on the screen). And my boot animation sound too. In the meantime I found another way with an app called "mute" and running a profile in tasker everytime the camera app opens, it toggles the MUTE app. That works for me.
An app called mutecamera will do this WITHOUT root.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gun0912.mutecamera&hl=en
Tested with H990DS and amazingly it worked. Have to give accessibility permission and there is an element of trust required here.
you get 15 free shots, after that you either pay or watch ads
But finally i find a non-root solution
Another alternative is to use Open camera. Remember to enable camera 2 api functionality and then you will see the option to disable shutter sound. You will of course be using open camera in this case.
But the first option allows to use your main camera. And that is the point. I only tested it with the main camera. I have no idea about other apps like whatsapp or facebook that may use the camera as i don't use those apps.

Disabling OIS

Is there anyway to disable OIS in OPT? I know there are apps like Proshot and Snap camera that has that features but they can't shot long exposure pics in raw file
If you know any app or rom or trick to do that, please help me
Thanks
(note that i know what are the benefits of OIS, but mine isn't working properly when phone is fixed, it shakes constantly and long exposure shots goes shaky and blurry)
No answer?
I already faced this problem. And yes the OIS is messing long exposure so bad...
In order to disable it you need to have a rooted device ad use a root explorer that let you modify system files.
-Go to /system and edit the build.prop file with text editor
-Add these lines :
Code:
persist.camera.ois.disable=1
persist.camera.appmask.enable=0
-Save the build.prop
-Reboot your device.
Note : each time you update your rom you need to add them back.
regards
Thank you so much
