Disable video record start/stop sounds - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The camera has a setting to disable the shutter sounds but I don't see one for the video recorder. I made a few searches for what might be the associated audio files so I could rename them, but no luck. Anyone know the filenames?
Edit: Found this in the description of the Camera Sound off! app:
"The LG's camera app has own not removable sound files!"

You need to be rooted and use Root Explorer or equivalent so you can view system files. The file name is VideoRecord.ogg. It's found in system/media/audio/UI.
Backup somewhere in case you want it back and then remove the file.

I had found that one and renamed it to no avail. I am rooted and using Root Explorer.

Your right but it will work for any third party apps that use the video record function. Also if put device on silent it will be muted on stock camera.

The phone mute does not work on Korea rom. Is there a way to disable the record button sound for Korea models ?

Requires modding the camera app to bypass.

I was under the impression that in the US some carrier devices had mute option whereas others don't, is this true?

Unfortunately I lost this option when I flashed the european rom

[Solved]Call Recording

Geez, there are so many call recording apps on the market. Most of them just simply doesn't work. Has anybody found a working call recorder for the i337 and/or the i9505G? I'm really getting tired of testing them out despite reviews. Such a pain to completely remove some of them. Sort of got ripped off on another claiming it works on the s4.
I would love to record calls via Bluetooth. Not sure if that's even out there or not either.
If you would like to share any information please let me know! Thanks!

There is a modded call recorder in the Apps section that works fine. You can also use "Call Recorder" by SkvAlex, there is another post in the Apps section on how to get it going. I have used both and if you follow the directions they both work fine. If you decide to use them, make sure you read the entire threads before you do to see what to expect. Personally, I am now using SkvAlex's Call Recorder APK because I like the interface and how it works. You can use a free version (avaialable here at XDA). It might be a trial, but I would suggest purchasing the app. The modded call recorder I mentioned to begin with is free. Either way, you can search the Apps section for each thread. Good luck.
Thanks. I'll try the free one and if it works I'm way more than willing to pay for it.

Does everything else work well with the GoldenEye ROM as well? Are there any problems that you have encountered that may not be on XDA?
EDIT: I downloaded the GoldenEye ROM, and noticed something that bothers me. Hangouts will not work over WiFi. I know how to fix that in the SQL editor but that's really a bother to me especially when I have to do it fairly often. Is there a gapps package that I can flash or something that will make this go away? Thanks.

Please explain. I just got my fiance a GS4. It shipped with MF3 update already on it. I rooted it but the same call recorder apps that work on my GS4 don't work on hers. I am searching for answers.
It's going to be the kernel on her phone. It won't work with a lot of them. I never tested on MF3 so I wouldn't be a good source to help you there. You can always safestrap amd flash MDOB.

[Q] How to Remove Camera Sutter Sound?

i wanna know..
i did xml edit and renamed in "system/audio/ui" all camera sound files..
but still making sutter sound..
how to fix it?
sorry for my english..
I am also interested!
Wanam's Xposed has shutter sound removal. Seems to work fine but you still get the focus lock sound when touching to focus. Shutter sound and video record start/stop are gone now though.
Do have any explanation about why EVERY first Samsung rom has this problem?
You need to get rid of the ogg files (shutter.ogg for example) but you must be rooted to perform this task.

It isn't legal in some places to turn off the shutter sound.
Just turn the volume down with the volume rocker. There you go. No sound from the camera. Easy

Goto /system/csc/others.xml or feature.xml. open this file using root browser editor and add below lines between <featureset> lines
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Save file and set permission -rw-r--r--
This will provide shutter sound option in camera app.
Also take backup first.

As this post states the option is not always available. In europe manufacturers are not permitted to include an option to turn off the camera shutter sound.
The app above does work though - nice find.

I've noticed the volume on the Note 3 to be the same as on the 2, however the sound seems to be much better. Especially when using an external speaker via bluetooth.
Sound is better than sgs3 but it is a lot quieter. It badly needs an amp

Viper4Android allows you to customize headphone sound and phone speaker sound separately just like a few other equalizer/sound mod apps do. It's available in the Play Store and it works wonders. The sound I got out of my old phone (S3) and my current phone (Note 3) with V4A made a huge undeniable difference.
Link to download the .apk and install from Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vipercn.viper4android4x&hl=en
It has multiple types of volume boost functions along with a great equalizer and many other useful features.

When u unzip the file preferably in root expkorer there are two folders in the file go thru them one has 2 file in it one has 1 file in it. The one that has one in it is the one u need follow the folders name that that file was in and put it in the corresponding folder in system. I know it sounds confusing I will edit this in a few I was typing this and realized I deleted the zip after moving the file.
Edit....
Move this file to system>etc>(file)

I definitely know how/where to put the file....permissions...etc.
Just wanted to see if it actually made a difference since stock TW doesn't have this file anymore. If not having a stock file in place to begin with, adding a edited version would seem to be useless.
Just curious

MM update. Default apps issue.

Hi guys
Just installed the MM update for my Note 4. Didn't notice any difference at first, then discovered that Allcast no longer streams to my Xbox DLNA, and also now in the gallery whenever you click on a video it gives you the choice of apps to open it with ONCE then automatically sets that as the default, so if I want to open a video in a different player I now have to go into app manager and clear the defaults. Then I can open with the app I want. But that gets set as default too so it never ends.
This is really REALLY annoying.
Please does anyone know of a fix around this?
Many thanks.

No fix, but an app called 'Better open with'.

+1 for this, been using it for years: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aboutmycode.betteropenwith
Basically you set it as the default app for opening a particular file type or link, and then within this app you can choose which other apps are allowed to open said files or links. You can also have a countdown to open with a default choice, giving you a few seconds to choose an alternative.
Been meaning to ask this since I upgraded to MM, always thought that this was a stupid MM feature, but now I see this is a bug right?
Thanks to that app anyway, don't like unnecessary apps, but still better than annoyance caused by waste of time.
It's not a bug, it's a further stupidity from Samsung. You can find this so called feature nobody wants on other devices as well (Note 5 and S7).
Thanks guys. Will try that app out.
This is without doubt the worst software update yet, so much to complain about!
