I have used this method in the past on both my S3 and S4 and it always worked. I just rooted my Note 3 and tried the same without any success. I do the following:
Navigate to system> media> audio> ui Then I proceed to change the name of the following:
Camera_click.ogg
Camera_focus.ogg
Shutter.ogg
Shutter_multiple.ogg
As I stated above, this has always worked but it's NOT working on the Note 3. I have tried it 3 times already and rebooted each time and nothing. Does anyone know if there is something different with the camera sounds on the Note compared to the S3 and S4?
Thanks.
Yes some sounds are baked into the app itself. To fully mute camera you need to use a root Explorer. Go to system / csc/ open feature. Xml then go to camera_shuttersound menu and change it to true. (it's close to the top, under camera features.)
Then go to camera and you will have a mute option in the settings.
Profit.

There is an app called Enforced Stream Silencer that will disable all of the camera sounds once it's installed.

You need to make sure the system is mounted as RW with whatever file explorer you are using.

It does show rw-rw-rw for permissions after I changed it from rw-r--r--. Not sure what is up.

If you are rooted, Shutter sound on/off is easy to do.
Using root explorer (or another explorer that lets you edit system files, go to system/CSC and edit Feature.XML. Look for <CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>True</CscFeature
Change the text from False to True. Save the file and exit the file.
Now, launch the camera app, and go to settings - you should now see the option to turn shutter sound on/off

I believe that Unknownforce's latest ROM, TriForce, includes a modified camera that will do just this. Just pull the APK from the ROM and push to your phone with correct permissions, reboot and profit!
yea a lot of roms have it and you can grab the apk from them
Thanks guys. Which APK do I grab though? Just the camera.APK? Thanks a ton.

Hi, I'm running Slim 4.3 Build 1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2393971) on my lcd version nexus s and really like the on screen buttons included with the rom. Is there any way to remove the back light from the capacities buttons and stop them vibrating?
Thanks
If you download Nexus S Tools from the Play Store, you can disable the capacitive lights, and there's a file somewhere in system/usr that has the keycodes for the capacitive buttons (you'll know what file it is when you see it, there's like 4 lines for back, home, search, and menu). What you gotta do is put a # in front of each line and reboot, then the capacitive buttons will be disabled.

To edit the file, download a file explorer (ES File Explorer is what I use) and enable "root explorer" then go into settings and make sure /system is set to "R/W" (there's a little check box somewhere).
From there go into /system/usr/keylayout/cypress-touchkey.kl and open it as text. Then put a # in front of every line that doesn't have one and then reboot

As long as you have root, NSTools is always my go-to option since its designed for this phone specifically, so I'd give that a whirl. I don't know exactly what file controls the backlight so I can't help you there

Thank you anyway
^Same, I'm trying NStools but I don't thin the kernal is letting me do much. Any recommendations on a good krnal to flash with slim?
Marmite that comes with slim rom is good. I have disabled the back lights using that and nstools in the past. But often they would flicker if you touched them which bugs me.
In the settings somewhere you should be able to disable the hardware keys without altering any system files. I am not on that rom anymore so I can't tell you exactly where!
Ended up using nstools + disabling vibration
esexplorer is pretty complicated

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.

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

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..!!!
Got my Verizon GN3 rooted, went to the same folders as with the GN2 and changed the necessary .ogg files to .bak, which silenced the camera on the GN2. No such luck with the GN3, I'm still getting the shutter sound. I'm sure I'm missing a file somewhere, I did a search with Root Explorer for .ogg files and didn't see anything that stuck out.
Here is the path and list of the .ogg files I renamed with Root Explorer:
System/Media/Audio/UI
Auto_Focus.ogg
Auto_Focus_Error.ogg
Cam_Start.ogg
Cam_Stop.ogg
Camera_Click.ogg
Camera_Click_Short.ogg
Camera_Empty.ogg
Camera_Focus.ogg
Camera_Timer.ogg
Camera_Timer_2sec.ogg
Lens_Flare_Lock.ogg
Lens_Flare_Unlock.ogg
Shutter.ogg
Shutter_Multiple.ogg
VideoRecord.ogg
Anyone have any ideas?

It's shutter.ogg, I've deleted it and no longer have the shutter sound when taking a picture.
Of course, rooted or not, turning the volume down silences the shutter.

I'll try deleting it, I don't like doing that, but I can't see any instance where I'll ever need that shutter sound. It's strange, the shutter sound is intermittent. I had rebooted the phone earlier today so I don't believe anything was 'hung' up. I'll see after it's deleted.
I've tried renaming it to .bak and moving it to the SD card and it still makes the shutter sound after rebooting.
I used an xposed module to turn it off (it just renamed it) but it didn't work. So I tried completely deleting the renamed file and it still makes the sound when I take a pic.

I deleted the Shutter.ogg file and the sound is gone when using the camera. But if I'm in Kik, the shutter sound is still there. It's not that big of a deal for me, I just thought all app's used the system sound files, especially for a system app.
you guys can try installing the app Note 2 Hidden Settings:

it has a function to enable the shutter off option in the camera app.

Just wanted to let others know...this worked. Wanam didn't work and renaming the shutter didn't work.
I haven't tried that Note 2 hidden settings thing, but have tried a couple other methods including Wanam.
I noticed today though, that I get the shutter sound when smart stabilization is on, but no sound when it is off...
Pretty weird, but maybe it will help diagnose?

Perhaps this will help some of you with Shutter sounds. it also states that the reason that deleting the ogg file isnt working is that it's included inside the Camera app now!

Is there a way to change the sound for the S Pen when it's detached/inserted and the alarm sound if you walk away and forget to insert the S Pen?
You might be able to do that... go take a look in the
system/media/audio/ui folder and try playing the files to see if you can figure out which sound it is. then backup the original file, or the complete folder to sd. Then try replacing with any sound you want but rename it to the same as original and fix permissions to same as original. reboot and test.
don't see why it wouldn't work... but there could be a limit to the file for that sound.
Good luck!!! always make a backup!!!
