I've recently rooted my s4 on 4.3 and I've added in the code to display the shutter sound menu (not usually visible in my country). The issue is selecting "Off" doesn't actually do anything, or it doesn't accept "Off" as a valid selection. I'm aware of the other fix involving renaming or deleting the sound files and I've actually tried that a little earlier, but a toggle would be much cleaner.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: JUST NOTICED THIS IS IN THE "ACTIVE" CATEGORY, REPOSTED ELSEWHERE... SORRY!
If you do end-up checking back here, firstly make sure you are actually rooted (with a root checker). Once you know that you are, install a root browser, browse to /system/media/audio/ui and delete Shutter.ogg - and any other sounds you don't like, such as the auto-focus.

In camera mode tap Spanner/Wrench icon then hit the next one and you get option to turn off sound.

Silent Shutter Sound
Sollution to disable Shutter sound on your device:
*First of all download Resco Explorer ( http://www.resco.net/smartphone/explorer/default.asp )
Install this on your device.
*Record with the the standard voice-recorder in windows a wav-file without sound (so simply disable your microphone) make it 5 seconds to make sure it does not have any bad influence on your camera-application.
*Give this file a very simple name starting with an underscore or a number to have it on the top of your list (especially on smartphones the Windows folder is very very long for scrolling) Name it something like "_mute.wav"
* Copy this file from your PC to your device using your windows explorer, put this in the Windows folder on your device
* Now open Resco Explorer on your device, press "menu" , "options" , "browser" and uncheck the "Hide hidden files..." option
* Now browse on your device to the windows folder and locate your mute wav file, now choose "action" , "rename" and give the file the name of the standard shutter sound file (on a Samsung i320 it is "camera_shutter_1.wav" (please do not choose "camera_shutter_ 2.wav" or "camera_shutter_3.wav" because these are first played and afterwards you will get still the "camera_shutter_1.wav"-file)
* You now will get some alert-windows if you are sure etc. just press yes and then.... SILENT SHUTTER IS THERE!
This works for my Samsung i320 so I am pretty sure it works for all devices...

Well for Hermes devices this seems like a heck of a long way round when the camera has an option to turn shutter sound off!!

and on the phones that dont have the option in the app to turn off the shutter sound there is a reg hack to get rid of it as well...
Well, it's a bit old topic, but I have the same problem. I cannot disable the camera shutter sound! I have the HTC official Hermes WM6 ROM (3.54.255.3)
I've tried altering the HKLM\System\Pictures\Camera\OEM\SoundFile key in registry,so that it points to nonexisting file, after that changing it to existing "silent" WAV, altering few other keys in registry (ForceShutterSound set to 0, ShutterSoundVolume to 1, after that to 0) even "force-renaming" my own WAV into \Windows\ShutterSound.wav... Nothing worked, there still is the sound, even if I switch the phone to silent mode. And of course, it can't be set in the Setting screen of Camera application. Anyone have an idea how to get rid of the sound? Isn't there a way to somehow "delete" the file, even if it has the flag "In ROM", and therefore can't be deleted by Total Commander (for example) ?
EDIT: By doing all of this, I have achieved, that the shutter is silent when the phone is in "Sound Off" or "Vibrate" mode... But it would be really nice if it could be disabled completely, even when in standard "Sound On" mode.

Sad thing is that this is actually true in Japan.....
Actually, now I have the capability of turning the sound off (by switching the phone to Vibrate mode), so if I really wanted to take upskirt pictures, I would be able to LOL
I want to disable the sound in "sound on" mode, because it is really annoying and because I just don't want someone else to dictate me what setting should I have enabled/disabled on MY phone, which I have paid for.
By default, the Galaxy S4 plays an extremely tiresome 'water droplet' sound effect whenever you press most buttons. I know it's possible to disable the sound entirely, but is there any way to change it to something else?
you can change the sound file. but you need root access. its (root)/system/media/audio/ui/TW_touch.ogg

Thanks for the response. How do I go about changing it? Must the replacement file have the same '.ogg' extension? Lastly (on a separate note) is there any way to enable haptic feedback for ALL button presses (e.g. when typing or opening apps)? At the moment my phone only buzzes during calls or when I use the back/home keys. Thanks!
Hi, I have a i9505,
I used to be able to just turn my my phone to vibrate/silent and the camera wouldn't make a shutter sound. Now it does (might have happened while coming back from another rom to stock rom).
I have tried to rename (I'm rooted) Shutter.ogg and rename it to Shutter.ogg.bak and same for Shutter_multiple.ogg.
Did not work.
I also tried to download an app which should remove the shutter sound, I thought it worked (this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.akirilow.tool.cso)
What else can I try? Thanks

Thanks for moving the thread
I changed the variable to TRUE and the option popped up in the settings menu after rebooting. But it actually doesn't do anything when I click on 'off', the popup goes away and it's still on 'on' when I check back. So the shutter sound is still there.

Hi,
I found that it was not very reliable,but it did work occasionally.
Try switching it on and off a few times,and reboot.
I've recently rooted my s4 on 4.3 and I've added in the code to display the shutter sound menu (not usually visible in my country). The issue is selecting "Off" doesn't actually do anything, or it doesn't accept "Off" as a valid selection.

Doesn't work, but I'd really like a solution to the toggle issue anyway. Even just hearing from someone who has enabled the menu and didn't have this problem would be great, to see what I did differently.
Is there a way to disable the camera shutter sound?
I understand that you can do it in the notification settings - but it doesnt actually do it.
Is this a regional thing? because phones that are bought in Japan cannot be disabled however I bought it in Singapore .
Go to camera, open hamburger menu on the left, open settings on the right top, turn off shutter sound.... Voila

Yeah, it's a regional thing. OnePlus has put a toggle in the app, but in regions where it is not permitted to mute camera sounds, the toggle won't actually do anything. To work around this, I manually decompiled the OnePlus Camera app, muted the necessary sounds, and recompiled the app for my personal use. The sounds are muted by default (except the timer ones) and you can't enable them via the toggle also.
I'm attaching my modified version at the end of this post, if you want to give it a shot. Good luck!
Important info: You won't be able to install this alongside your existing OnePlus Camera app. So you'll need root for this. Also, in case you still hear sounds even after correctly replacing the original OnePlus Camera app, let me know.
