[Fixed] Removing camera shutter speed for Aussie Note 3 (requires root)

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.

" 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...

"Camera awsome" works for me too. better then "a better camera" but its a paid app.

Many thanks I will give that a try. It is a nice feature being able to voice search so it is such a pity this bug is there.

Same issue here , and i have been using the same Home and launch Live channels workaround . Such a pity that a nice feature like this is ruined by this bug , hope Google/Nvidia fix this issue.

Anyone have a link for the f cam app?

Hi
Have a new head unit and it has the most up to date MCU And ROM but it doesn’t have the F Cam app that lets you use the rear cam at the tap of the screen.
It’s useful as it’s in a van so I like to be able to see behind me in the blond spot on occasion.
I’ve tried searching here and on google for the app but can’t find it.
Thanks

did you solve this?

Hey. I can give you the Txz application, but to activate it, you will need to contact the seller. Need a special code. The application and code, I bought for $ 8 from the manufacturer KLYDE. By the way, it would be nice for you to attach a screenshot of the device data in order to understand which version of the MCU in your device.
Here https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...d-units/klyde-kd-1280-tesla-headunit-t3983095 and here https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...to-root-klyde-kd-1280-tesla-headunit-t4035039 there is useful information on similar devices. Maybe this is the same device, in order to understand this we need the MCU data of your device.
TXZ Speech

Ok
I will but a screenshot today
Thanks for help ❤

Curious if you ever solved this I'm experiencing a similar issue with txz speech not being active unaware what code is being referred to unless you're referring to the install set code?..
anyway any help is appreciated thanks

It is rather difficult to answer your question since there can be many reasons for this TXZ SPEECH behavior. To get started, try using the external microphone that is included with the device. Then check the microphone volume setting. To do this, dial on the telephone and speakerphone of the subscriber and in the speakerphone mode, set the volume within 20-25 on the device’s volume scale. For example, I have set 23 on a scale. This is necessary to configure the microphone, as the speakerphone and TXZ SPEECH both use a single microphone, with common settings. Finally, check if you have any additional voice assistant installed on your system such as Google assistant. They usually conflict with TXZ SPEECH.

thank you sir for your reply, i noticed that when i speak to google maps or google voice its not functioning but when i forced to stop txz speech on settings apps, the google voice is functioning, i tried the external mic i even put it very close on my mouth and shout out loud but txz seems disabled not responding on my command, but when i unplugged it on the headunit it will function again, this is when my can engine is still off, but if i turn on the engine very difficult to command tru txz speech not even responding, it will sometimes

Question Enable Auto Phone Call Recording

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.
Bye
Stefano

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

I know that on some newer OnePlus phones you can change the dialer to get call recording. I would think that the Nothing Phone would be similar but at this point I'm totally unsure.

I also read that you can root the phone and use a magisk mod. But I'm not ready to root the phone just yet because it's still under warranty.

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

@rogerrulez, i don't know if the dialer of the indian phone it's unlocked or if check also the CSC of the phone....

I tried to install it already but it won't install. Says phone needs to be rooted. But now that I'm thinking about it, I did install that app on a non rooted oneplus 7t before. Just have to give it permission via ADB. I think i might try it again and see if I can get it to install..
Correction. I tried to install just the joneplustools. This one is different.

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

You could use MacroCroid. It can press the button for you and fill in the name for you too. You need a fair amount of time to set it up but it would work good.

Thanks for the tip! I thought the same and tried something similar yesterday (Tasker and another app, forgot the name) but gave up for the amount of time needed!
Going to try MacroCroid anyway, hopefully it's a little bit less complicate
