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?

Nope. It keeps making the shutter noise.
Can u turn it off with stock camera?

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

Or this:

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:

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.
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.

Can confirm that renaming is not enough. The silent files are needed and their permissions must be changed to 644 rw-r--r--.

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.
I am using Android 10

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.

Hi! thank you for replying this thread. I thought it would be obvious but the option is not there for me (I have Exynos)! Not everybody has the option to do it and that is why I rooted my phone, tried a few methods (described in my post) but none of them work... damn shutter sound is still there
I have not found a solution either, right now just using some bixby action to put the phone in silent mode when the camera app is open

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
Hello to everyone,
I hope someone could help me, i need to record any phone call that i make/receive, the phone should record the call without messages to the caller about the phone call is recorded.
Did someone can tell me how can i do this? i have seen that one option is to root the device but if someone have other suggestion is better for me than root the device.
I have also tried this app: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...cord-phone-calls-from-the-phone-line.1441643/ but use the microphone so sometimes there are very noise.

Yes. I am in the same situation. The only things I can think of are, 1. A call recorder app. or, 2. Using a different dialer, say from a Oneplus phone. But I'm still looking into it. I have been using a call recorder app that seems to work somewhat okay but not that great.
I Hope Simeone could help US..
I have also seen that changing the phone app Is not the solution because some apps uses CSC

That's good to know because I was going to try it. The thing is, depending on what version you have, call recording is built in. So that tells me that all variants could have it built in maybe ? Not sure but I am continuing to do research when I have the time.
Yes, I think that every android phone have this functionality, the problem is that phone app use CSC to enable o not, this is what I have understand

In India you can legally record calls. I wonder if the dialer from those ROMS would world on the global versions.

Not really. I do have two apps installed that are recording calls pretty good ! One of them I installed from Google play called Call recorder. And the other one is one that I came across in one of the posts for the Nothing phone. I have both running at the same time and both are recording calls pretty good. However, I would rather have the inbuilt option.
I'm from Italy and have Nothing Phone for a couple of weeks now so I may be missing something.
I've tried ACR, a well thought app for call recording, but unfortunately it doesn't record bluetooth calls (earphone or car's) so as a couple of other apps. I guess it's a problem that every third party app is having, given Google policy.
So, I'm using the Google phone app call recording utility (upper right corder three dots > settings > call recording). This option has popped out the first time I put in the sim card. I suppose everyone can access this option but with Google you never know...
This makes available a button on the phone screen, a switch between call recording and not recording. Actually, it's only manageable when the call is started and it's available switching in the second screen of the app.
Overall it works pretty well, even on Bluetooth calls. The calls are accessible via the call log history and can de saved. The only drawdown is that you have to put a meaningful name to the file when saving it.
What drives me CRAZY is that it doesn't have the option to ALWAYS record the calls. Apparently, it's an available option (Google has a help page dedicated: https://support.google.com/phoneapp/answer/9803950?hl=en) but not for the Italian version. Or at least for my version
Does anyone know if and how I can make it a permanent choice? I don't want to manually switch it every time...
Any help is very appreciated
