Hi everyone.
I was wondering if anyone has figured out how to disable the camera shutter sound when the phone is not on silent
Thanks

I can't seem to find the option to switch off the camera shutter sound too
The camera setting don't seem to be permanently set all the time, for eg. when I switch on auto contrast, it went back to "off" again when I use the camera for the second time.

Shutter sound can't be disabled by default. If you are rooted, you can rename the ogg file and it won't play.
File is in /system/media/audio/ui
It seems the SGS2 has gone backwards as even with SGS1, the camera sound can be turned off in the settings menu.
Don't take this as absolute truth, but I'm pretty sure it's the law in some countries that you're not able to turn off the camera-shutter sound.
"Blade buddy" allows you to turn it off. It's free on the market.

This is true in a number of locations.
I've managed to stop the shutter sound and the video recording start/stop sounds by renaming all the camera-related ogg files in the /system/media/audio/ui folder, but I can't seem to find the ogg file for the camera 'autofocus' sound.
Does anyone know which file this is?

The focus sounds are stored inside the camera app itself and because of that a little harder to get rid of. Because it is app-related you could use another camera app and not have the problem... or you can try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074628

Root explorer (or other proper apps) should ask for root permission, allow that. After that you'll need to mount the system partition with write access. Root Explorer has a little button at the top for this, no experience with other apps.

[Q]How to change the camera shutter sound?
no need for me to open a new topic, since i got a similar question, how can we change that horrible camera shutter sound?
the default sound from the sgs1 is what I'm looking for, i found out that this specific sound is played by the system in sgs2 when you take a screenshot (by pressing Home + Power buttons), but i can't figure out where to find it and how can i set it as the default shutter sound for the camera app
so, i don't want to disable the sound, i already found some topics explain that, i just want to replace it
any help is appreciated

OK found it, but how can i replace the files with an silent one.
I cannot cut or rename those original .ogg files, probably because it is situated in the apk file.
what to do?
also the solution for 'maranello69': copy the beloved shutter1.ogg file from the sgs and just replace it in your sgs2.
Just put the phone in vibrating mode and the sound is gone

The latest firmware (say KF3 for XEU phones) turn off camera sounds when the phone is set to vibrate or silent.

The 2.3.4 update also does this (its the first one I've bothered updating my SGSII for). I'll just set Tasker to set silent on when the camera is on, and revert when the camera app closes, job done.
It's simply annoying. Would like so much to disable the camera sound without having to set to vibrate ou mute before taking pictures.

Not with out rooting that I have found.
I didn't know turning the volume down would kill it. Cant figure out which fo the 4 it is. Seems like they all have to be completely off to be silent.
BUT you should be able to use something like Llama to set when camera is active turn to silent and when camera is off put back to normal volume.
I tried this real quick and it gets in a loop. Haven't trouble shoot it yet. But it does work in manual test mode. Problem has to do with what the app is called when viewing to take a pic vs actual taking a pic vs showing the pic after.

Actually, both vibration and mote modes are sufficient to silent that annoying camera shooting sound.
That's the workaround I'm using...
Just install this apk, it doesn't require root:

Hey guys.
I'm having a slightly annoying issue.. Namely the camera shutter.
I can't turn the shutter noise! And I'm not even using the original camera app. If I do there's not even an option for it. In MX Camera, there is an option to turn off the shutter sound, but it doesn't work. I'm guessing this is LG's fault.
It is not illegal in my area to mute the camera.
Anyone know how I can do this?
This doesn't work?

These two works silently well in my G2...
On the stock phone app if you put your phone in silent mode, the shutter sound is silent. At least it is on my at&t phone with the Aeon 2.1 rom which has a Korean base.

Not the case on mine. If I use silent mode it still makes the shutter noise, as I experienced in the library the other day....

Right, I have a LG G2 on Wind Mobile.
Hardware: LG-D801
Software Ver.: D801V11b
Tried several 3rd party camera apps such as Camera MX / Line Camera without success.
Setting to Silent/Vibrate and manually toggling the volumes within the stock system was unsuccessful.
Tried Glen's Camera Mute and was unsuccessful even with toggling Enable/Disable and with a tester version with built-in volume adjustment.
I think rooting may be the only solution, but I'm new to this game so I'm still trying to figure out how to root and how I'm supposed to make the camera silent after rooting.

So... before you had this issue and after rooting no more issue?
Is AOSP a rom?
I guess Verizon did one thing right, you can turn the shutter sound off on the VS980.

AOSP is "pure" Android, with no custom UI etc. It seems like the issue is gone now yes.

There is an option for it in the stock camera on the 802, it just doesn't work. Most likely a bug or something like it.

AOSP Means Android Open Source Project. It's the basic Android that is launched on for example Nexus phones, without a new UI from say, Samsung or HTC.
It is not something you are going to install simply to get rid of the shutter noise, however I (And many others) greatly prefer these versions of ROMs over the bloated ones from the phone companies.

WIND Mobile D801 here. Can confirm that the Camera mute app doesn't work, silent mode doesn't work, no option for disabling shutter sound from in the app, and renaming the file with ROOT does nothing.
The audio must be within the camera app somewhere, but I can't figure it out. Please help! So frustrating.
I have Verizon and I can turn off the shutter sound for camera, but not for video. :crying:

I don't believe this was posted in an actual step-by-step guide, so here it is! This worked to successfully stop the camera shutter sound from going off when snapping photos with the volume up on my VS986. I hope this is the same as other G4 variants, so let me know if this works for you as well and which model you have.
Before you get started, you need to be rooted for this method.
Step 1:
Use a root-capable file browser of your choice (I prefer SolidExplorer) and navigate to /system/media/audio/ui
Step 2:
Locate cam_snap_0.ogg and camera.click.ogg and rename the file extensions to .OLD, as seen below.
Step 3:
Reboot, then test
Or just mute the sound before taking a picture if you really don't want be heard.

Not everyone thinks about it before they launch the camera app, and this fixes the need to always turn the volume down.

There's many reasons people don't want the shutter sound. Such as taking photos of a sleeping baby, animals without scaring them, in quiet restaurant or function, etc. Plus third party programs don't utilize LG's great camera software.

Did you know some Country Variants etc: Korea Variants like what I have, even you mute the sound of your device, the camera shutter still as loud as it is. I believe it is the policy of the country
https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20031111/099242.shtml
Now if we can shut off the autofocus sound
Figured it out, just rename the af_failure and af_success file.
tnx for the guide
it worked on my H815

There are audio files for auto focus as well, I assume you can follow the same procedure for that. Try doing this method on af_failure and af_success files.

Right but it would seem all the G4 variants do not allow to disable sound. I find that strange since samsungs provide that setting for non-korean variants.
So it should not require root to be able to do this...but whatever...

I edited and wrote the fix underneath my original question lol
Here's something I don't get...
cam_snap_0 and camera_click don't actually seem to make the sound we hear in the camera app, right?
The closest I found was shuter_mirror_up/down, but that didn't actually take away the shutter sound like the two outlined above.
Why is that?
All shutter and focus sounds disabled! Thanks!

Just rename doesnt work for me (H815), but what worked: edited audio files with audacity. now the cam is silent, always while AF and taking a picture.
No flashable zip. Extract and replace files manually in /system/media/audio/ui/
Edit: one day there was sound again. Fixed it with setting permissions to -rw-r--r-- on every replaced file. Reboot and there was silence.

Since yesterday after I played a whatsapp voice message, I can't turn off the camera shutter and Screenshot sound, even though I have my phone in complete silent mode!
Did anyone ever have this problem with their 6p or know any solution to turn off those sounds?
I allready restarted the phone, uninstalled the camera updates and reinstall from the play store, went into the settings to make sure I was in silent mode, still nothing works!
Any help is much appreciated!
I think that Google's intent was to prevent non-determined creeps from taking "upskirt" shots and other related idiocies. You have to delete/rename some file, I think it was /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg or some such. This needs root.

It's illegal in South Korea (and many countries) for any mobile phone maker to sell a phone that allows a user to silence the faux shutter sound on their mobile phone cameras. You'll need to download a custom ROM that allow them to be silenced, or delete the sound like the above posted said.
