Hi,
Does anyone know which country N910H ROM has native option to mute camera shutter?
I am hoping to avoid root. While taking pictures of birds and animals I would like to turn of shutter sound. So I would like to flash such official ROM
you can mute it with enforced stream silencer.
Thanks for the reply. I would still like to know about the country with that option available.
you can mute it on all models of the note 4.
To my knowledge, there is no option to mute camera sound in any note 4 version in default. It's only available in custom rom, or custom camera software. Or you can just silent your phone, and the camera will also silent

your knowledge is wrong. install enforced stream silencer and mute it.

Do you see his question? He is asking that if note 4 has native option to mute the camera sound or not. He is not asking what application used to mute the camera sound. I believe you that you can mute the camera with enforced stream silencer. But once again, check his question man!
I included screenshot of the option if you still doesn't know what he meant.
i know what he meant. he wanted an option to mute camera sound. enforced stream silencer gives you that option. you can turn sound on. you can turn sound off.
what is so difficult to understand ?

Not true. My stock Verizon Note 4 (SM-N910V) has an option to mute the camera shutter in the settings. It didn't at launch, but a subsequent update added it in. Some carriers in the U.S. had it in the settings for the Note 4 at launch. I didn't have to download any additional or custom software.
It's not included by default on all versions of the Note 4, but it is on some.
My understanding is that in some countries is illegal to take silent pictures (S. Korea? ) and there is no option to turn off sound in camera settings. My tmo version has ot included. I think that easiest way is to just turn off phone sound from notification panel right before taking picture or press and hold power button and mute phone from device options menu. It is not permanent solution but will do the trick.

EVERY note 4 can silence shutter sound. there are some which do not have the option IN THE CAMERA MENU. in those devices you download and install this application (attached) and click to silence it. in the others you click on the camera menu which does the same thing.
there - how complex is that to understand ?
you do not need root to silence it.
you do not need to go to silent mode.
you do not need to flash a rom.
you do not need to change countries.
all you need is to expose the enforced stream toggle option. which you can do without root by installing the enforced stream silencer app.
While I appreciate everyones response. I would still like to know CSC of 910H variant which has this option available as default. Any 910H variant user who has it, kindly reply.

Firstly, just to address some of the "fixes" that have been offered in in this forum:
Muting volume or setting sound to silent
Doesn't work.
Renaming/removing "shutter.ogg" from system/media/audio/ui
This doesn't work as the sound files is embedded in the camera apk.
Adding <CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>FALSE</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu> into "others.xml"
Doesn't work. This enables the menu option in the camera app but does not permit the setting to be changed.
Wanam Xposed or Enforcedstreamsilencer
Neither works.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way, the only surefire way I've found to kill the shutter sound is to replace the audio files that are actually embedded in the stock camera apk with silent versions of the same files. I've modified the apk to remove all sound except for the ticking in the camera timer (which I think is actually useful) and the panorama mode start/stop sounds. Happy to upload another modified one with all sounds removed if there's interest.
Unfortunately the file is too big to attach to XDA forums and I don't have permission to link externally so you'll have to copy and paste the short URL below to get it from my SkyDrive.
sdrv.ms/16gFVqc
To install the apk you will need root access to your phone and a file manager that can access root functions. Do the following:
In your file manager navigate to system/app path and locate "SamsungCamera2.apk"
Rename it something else like "SamsungCamera2.apk.bak"
Copy over the modified apk into the same location
Make sure the permissions of the new file are the same as the original
Enjoy (no need to reboot)
Note that I'm not responsible if your phone and/or camera breaks, bricks or gains sentience and chokes you in your sleep. I'm not a android developer, just a desperate guy who wanted to use the stock camera quietly for non-perverted, non-nefarious reasons (trust me) and I've only confirmed that it works with the Aussie Note 3. Anyone else use at your own discretion.
Trying it out now, This has been driving me nuts for the past couple of days,
The Auto Focus sound is just way too loud.
I'll let you know how it goes !

You Sir are a Legend!!!.
Confirmed Working!!!:victory:
I tried it and camera finally shut up . For some reason, this got rid of the "processing....." delay after every shot as well. Very well done. Thank you:good:
Hi all,
What worked for me was editing the customer.xml in the csc folder.
Navigate down to <camera> and then change
<ShutterSound>on</ShutterSound>
to
<ShutterSound>off</ShutterSound>
save and then restart phone.
Now when the phone is in silent mode no camera sound.
This also fixes wanams no camera sound even if phone isn't in silent I believe.
Worked for me on my optus branded N9005
Hope this helps in some way.
Worked for me with SM-N9005. Perfectly mute focusing sound and shutter sound.
Brilliant work !

Gave this a try. Totally works on my Aussie unbranded N9005.
So it looks like there are now two confirmed methods of muting camera sound:
If you want to be able to mute sound by turning the volume down, then do choppiii's method
If you want to permanently mute the sound (in case you forget to turn the volume down, which I would probably do) then use my method to replace the camera apk.
Hooray choices!

Hi,
Replaced apk. Starting camera from the drawer keeps it quiet. However if you have lock screen swipe to left to enable the camera then shutter sound is there. Weird. Anyone else?
Also changing mode let say for sport mode brings sound back again for me.
Renaming /system/media/ui camera related sound files seems to help to this issue..
I tried all the listed methods on my aus note 3 from vodafone. The only one that worked was the choppiii method. It let the system mute stop the camera shutter sound. I stil want a working menu option.
Samsung really know how to upset me. I rooted this device specifically to get rid of that sound.

Hi...
Instead of adding
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>FALSE</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Into the others.xml add
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>TRUE</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
In other words add true not false...
I can't confirm if this works or not as I'm running omega rom and it already has it enabled...
Let me know how it goes....

Did this, cheers!
TRUE made the settings entry show but it is not changeable.
do i need to root my fone for this?
(getting rid of the auto focus sound /and or shutter sound)
try "a better camera" from app store. no root needed and works for me. photo quality and function as good if not better then stock camera...now its my replacement camera app.
Teleported from my SM-N9005 from The Enterprise
" a better camera " did the trick. Thanks.
I don't have root to install the fixed Samsung camera apk. I tried the new Google camera from android 4.4 but it has sound too. Could you make an apk for the Google camera from android 4.4 without sound?
does this app make the camera faster?
i don't have root.
if i try to install it anyway does it works?
thanks.
a better camera is not so good, even camera fv5 is the same.
i really would like that samsung make more accessible compensation and iso metering in the stock app...it takes too much time to enter in setting.
is not so difficult mother samsung...cmon!
camera shutter sound is gone for me, thanks!

see above. "a better camera" from google play. worked for me, i actually like it better then stock. the only downside is not being able to record 2160 videos, but who needs it anyway...

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?

Is it the default shutter sound? If so, try renaming 'camera_click.ogg' (and 'camera_focus.ogg') in the /system/media/audio/ui folder...

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.

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.

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:

What is the safest way for me to silence the stock camera shutter sound? I don't have the option to turn off the shutter. I have used camera360 but the app is complete crap, sometimes not saving the photos at all. The stock app is good but it pretty much says "Hey look at me I'm taking a selfie!" every time I take a selfie.
I do want to root but I don't want the problems associated with the knox trip. Also, I've heard about the taiwan rom but am concerned about locale / language and other issues.
Any advice appreciated. Thanks,

No issues here.
I only speak English unfortunately. Or when you load the ROM it only displays English?
I guess you didn't simply flash and that's it, so don't strictly believe your statement.

Yeah,
Australian Samsung S5 has that issue, the only way that i know to remove that is either get a different camera app or different ROM.
Its annoying as
Found the fix.....
You need root.
In system\csc there is a file called customer.xml
in there, you will find the following...
<Multmedia>
<Camera>
<ShutterSound>on</ShutterSound>
</Camera>
</Multimedia>
Delete these lines and then the shutter sound will be muted when the phone sound is muted.
Reboot phone.
Set the phone to muted sound and the camera shutter will also be muted.
* Modifying this file will set your phone to "Custom" if its not already. *
Alternatively, you can change the following...
<ShutterSound>on</ShutterSound>
to
<ShutterSound>off</ShutterSound>
This should leave your phone status "Official" if it already is.
Hi guys
I have a rooted phone and tried many ways to disable the camera sounds.
The Korean SM-N910K has restrictions where there is no option to disable it.
Vol. down etc. does nothing
I tried apps and also es explorer and renaming the camera files but there is still sound
Has anyone successfully disabled sounds on a Korean Note 4?
Thanks
Doesn't editing the csc file do the job on a Korean N4? You could try with CSC Manager from Play Store

Hi, I have rooted my phone and used a File explorer (Root Explorer) and proceeded to rename all the camera related audio files located at /system/media/audio/ui to .old
After a reboot I tried to see if the sound is gone but it is still there.
Following some old guide I found here I tried to find system/csc/feature.xml but it does not exist at all (nor the file nor the folder CSC)
I know a work around is to use a bixby routine to enable DND as long as the camera is open but considering that I am rooted I wanted to find a solution (not a work around)
I tried using Magisk Modules but they don't work either.

Ummm there's a setting for shutter sounds right within camera settings. See attached photo. Unless yours is different because Exynos. Mine is US Snapdragon on Android 10.

You could always just turn the system volume sound to 0
You still have notifications, ringtone, media and bixby sounds.

But nobody knows if the option is hidden or removed by default because of the obvious people trying to take inappropriate or illegal photos without consent. Just like recording phone calls, the option isn't available by system only 3rd party apps. Even though in my State its legal to record without consent any phone call in which i am a party to. Under the surveillance and devices act 1999. Yet Google decided to just kill the option globally.
I'm using an app from GG Play store to mute the camera app. It works just fine
