I rated 5 just to bump back up to 3.

see the other settings mod: [Mod][GB] Remove ATT tethering warning message
(aka bump... 1/4 the page veiws)

I rated 5 stars to help out. This isn't really helpful for me since I am running CM7 but it is one of the few threads I saw where someone explains in detail how to improve other builds so it can be used by other DEVs.

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.

Hi guys!
I'm bumping an ancient thread here, hope that's okay with you.
I have this old S4+ lying around. I love it's Gallery app due to the built-in possibility to losslessly trim MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) videos by cutting to nearest keyframe, and also lossless rotation by changing the rotation metadata flag of the MP4 file in question. This simple feature is not implemented in "modern" Gallery apps, or well at least not in the OnePlus 5T I'm using today. So, I was thinking I could extract the .APK from my S4+ (running Android 5.x) and put it in my OP5T (running Android 8.x) without too much headache. Guess if I was wrong.
I get the error about that app was not installed. After browsing around on e.g. ApkMirror, I ultimately found a Samsung Galaxy derived Gallery .APK that I could install, it was a very early version (v1.x.something) which has the cutting feature, but not the rotation (flag changing) feature. So, this ancient Gallery3D .apk installed well, but not the one on my own Galaxy S4+.
So, what could be my issue? Is the .APK flagged to be installed as a system app, and due to my OP5T not being rooted I don't have access too /system/app/, therefor the error? Could it be that simple? If so, is it possible the modify the .APK to install as in /data/app/ instead? Of course I'd resign the APK with some dummy/androiddebug signature afterwards to make installation possible.
Could it be some silly (not really needed) demand listed in the AndroidManifest.xml of the APK in question? If so, is it possible to replace the AndroidManifest.xml with a very "basic" one listing more or less no demands, and re-wrap everything with new signature?
I'm really investigating all my options __except__ for having to root my OnePlus!

I figured that I could get a more specific error message from ADB than by just trying to install the .APK through the phone interface.
So, here goes..
Code:
C:\>adb.exe install F:\Galleri_com.sec.android.gallery3d.apk
adb: failed to install F:\Galleri_com.sec.android.gallery3d.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK: Package couldn't be installed in /data/app/com.sec.android.gallery3d-RAEW5FZ4VBWqTWXx48LPmQ==: Package /data/app/com.sec.android.gallery3d-RAEW5FZ4VBWqTWXx48LPmQ==/base.apk code is missing]
What does this tell me?

The Galaxy S4 and most Samsung devices has a second framework app, twframework-res.apk, that only works with their apps. Here's the fun part: the existing Android framework-res.apk is modified by Samsung so both framework apps are required by a given Samsung app to function. Even better is that you cannot simply port the app and twframework-res.apk to a totally different device and expect it to function. You'd have to port the framework-res.apk as well, and with that apk being a system file, you'd soft brick your device after copying it and rebooting.
The tl;dr here? What you're attempting won't work due to Samsung modifications to Android.

BETTER SOUNDS (Replace your touch) SPEN TOO

Tired of your "Water Drop" Touch Wiz sound.
Follow these instructions to replace them with what I use. ​
Let me know what you want and I will try and find it. Will add more.....
1. Touch sound. (Simple and nice)
2. Back sound (Sick and Nice)
3. Lock sound (Sweetness)
4. Just added Unlock sound (Sword) https://www.dropbox.com/s/13ry8kt3di0ebgr/UnlockSword1.zip
To install please follow these instructions below. I do this with every ROM I flash.
1.Download the zip and extract to your SD card.
(Create a folder called UI Sounds or whatever you like, and put the three files in there)
2.Use Root Browser or ROM TOOLBOX PRO.
3.While in Root Browser go to your SD card (UI Folder) and select your first file "TW_Touch" copy it
4.Now jump to the root of your phone. System/Media/Audio/UI then paste your file there. Hit yes to Overwrite.
5.Go ahead and back out of that screen but go right back and change permissions to match (rw--r--r)
(It wont let me change permissions unless I hit back then go back there)
6.Do the same for the next two files
7.Reboot
8.Thats it, let me know what y'all think. I love these sounds way better.
CHANGE YOUR SPEN SOUNDS TOO

Download the two files > https://app.box.com/shared/e5bg08plfbt14xtzcaru

Rename them if you need to (the Note III has 3 different sound options,
rename the file with a number 1-3 depending on which sound you want to replace, default is 1)
Use a root enabled file manager (Root Explorer, ES, Solid, etc.) to navigate to /system/media/audio/ui
Find the files you want to replace (Pen_att_noti1.ogg and Pen_det_noti1.ogg but with your chosen number)
and rename them by adding a .bak to the end (make sure to use a keyboard with no auto correct, or it’ll change the file name)
Copy and paste the downloaded files into /system/media/audio/ui
Change their permissions (long hold > Properties in most file managers) to rw- r– r– or 644

Have you ever wanted to be a Jedi master at work, but your boss didn’t appreciate you bringing in your replica lightsaber? We have an excellent solution for Galaxy Note II owners. This small mod will change the sound your device makes when taking out and putting in the S Pen to those of a lightsaber. Trust us, you’ll definitely feel cooler taking out your S Pen this way.

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.

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.
