After countless downloads I found a camera apk that really has a silent shutter. It's called "Super Spy Camera+" and it is made exclusively for the Galaxy S line. Not a whole lot of features, so you'll want to keep a default camera apk installed, but it's just what the doctor ordered if you want to creep on someone and stay STOCK!
Link please
Samsung Galaxy S Dos indeed

Is this program completely silent? Rooted phones can easily eliminate the shutter sound, but not the auto focus beep. Thanks.

ABSOLUTELY Silent.
No auto focus, it's a bare bones camera apk, that's why you'll want another camera apk installed for your "legit" pics. Ha Ha.
And as far as ROOT goes, every phone I had and rooted was to run a GS2 type ROM. There is nothing out there that has me excited enought to even want to root my phone right now, too many issues at the present.
Here's a modified epic touch camera apk with the sound removed. Not my work; just posting the find.

That's cool but you have to be rooted. I'm not trying to roll the dice like that until we have more developement for this phone.
Spy Camera+ will install as a second camera apk, NO ROOT, without repalcing STOCK.
Good find, too many ads though, and the + version is 2 expensive for dat simple camera... vignette works better...

Vignette won't silent shutter sounds. My Super Spy Camera+ doesn't have ads. Do you even have it to be able to make such a statement, either of them?

The method that required root worked perfectly, 100% usage of the stock camera/camcorder app but without the auto focus or shutter sounds.
Rooting is really easy, and there is a way to do it and have the stock kernel (I wouldn't have rooted otherwise).
It's stupid you can't turn off the sound through the settings though... you could on my last HTC phone.

You know i been wondering... the camera application in our phone is after all a program that runs just like any other program in our phone right? thus being said... with all these applications made for the dash why has anyone yet to make an upgrade for the camera app? even tho the application is set to manufactures default settings so was the T-Mobile rom settings, but people were able to upgrade roms so why is it that we cant upgrade the camera app? maybe there is someone smart enough out there to think of this app. i mean all in all it would be nice to have some extra effects options or a brightness option you know... something to that effect would be a cool thing to have.
There are many Camera applications, I personally use the "stock" camera in conjunction with Cool Camera

the native Samsung camera app on EI22 does not give the option to have no sound for the shutter. they offer three annoying options. does anyone have the old camera app anywhere? updating the firmware seemed to go nowhere.

In some states they have made it against the law to actually turn off the shutter sound. That's probably why there is no longer an option. The MIUI camera has a shutter off option and so does the CM7 camera but the CM7 camera wont work with EI22 ROMS, I tried it. MIUI does though
There's a quick fix by editing the Camera app preference xml file. I imagine that adding the option back into the menu wouldn't be terribly difficult, and probably better than switching apks entirely. But I don't have time to do that right now.

Can you site or link to the state laws in question?
I was unaware of such laws in the states. To my knowledge, the sounds were baked back in because these phones are also in Korea? The origin of Samsung, which in their country, its illegal to have no shutter, therefore, its in the camera.apk's universal app for that sole reason. I don't have a dog in this fight and I'm no lawyer either, lol. Just sharing what I know. And if there are some states who forbid it to where it was turned into a law, then you've enlightened me my friend.

I tried editing the xml file as you suggested but it doesn't seem to stick on EI22 ERA v4.0.1. Yes, I made sure Camera app was completely killed before editing and saving. No dice...

Same ROM here, same result. Edited the .xml file as suggested by wtogami and it didn't stick. Actually, reverted to "Sound 1". Not a huge deal, I just find the camera sound annoying.
I just flashed this. It works perfect on EI22 roms.
Installed and can confirm that this fix works and sticks on EI22.
Had google framework force closes, but a three finger permission fix solved it.

good morning and welcome to xda, I see that you are a new member and will try and help you out. First off here is a link to what you requested. Secondly, may I suggest you try using all the search features available to you prior to posting. This will probably help you out a lot faster in the future. I used "silence camera epic touch" in a google search and the second choice was the link I attached. Also the search feature in xda although sometimes can be a PITA to use does come in handy at times.
I hope you accomplish your goal but if not I believe UnNameds rom which is quite a good rom I may add has the mod you are looking for... check the OP
Edit: Hopefully if you take my advice it may save you some unnecessary flaming in the future... Rule of thumb - You are not the first or the tenth person to inquire about what ever it is you want to post about.... Keep that in mind
I usually just open Root Explorer and go to system\media\audio\ui and remove camera sounds.

That only removes the shutter sounds. The focus sounds are inside the apk. Many custom Roms have a modded apk with sounds disabled. You could extract the camera from one and replace your stock camera app.

Doesn't help with the auto focus sounds. On;y with the shutter. The auto focus sounds are in the .apk so you have to use a modified version of the stock one in order to make it completely silent. See the link that was posted above you.
Most custom roms have the sounds removed anyway (well the AF anyway) so it normally not a concern. Here's a link to another silent camera. It also has edits in it for much better quality pictures (both front and back) and video. Either one will work if you're just trying to silence the sounds though.
I did not make this app!!! Just thought I would share it with you. It is included in my rom and is very good! Link is here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.moblynx.cameraics I really like it. Once again I have nothing to do with this app. Just though I would share it.
Edit: do not ask about my rom please. I am getting flooded with PMs and people should just email me about my rom, not pm or post in a completely unrelated thread. Thank you.

tried your camera ics..
auto focus is bad on it other than that its pretty good.
if you want a good camera use procapture camera
i use my cam alot and i have almost all cam apps from vignette to fxcam to cartoon cam. but the best of the best IMO is procapture for the auto focus and when it takes a pic the screen doesn't go black like in camfx or vignette and yes is has volume keys to take pic.
just my 2cents.

mostly just auto focus not working. the devs of the app said they are working to improve it. Oh i should mention the auto focus is just bad with the volume keys it takes good pics with focus if you touch the red button and hold to focus then release to take pic. but since Samsung couldn't afford to add a dedicated cam button, volume keys to take pic is a must for me.

Why would you buy Camera ICS? It is a free app but the paid version doesn't have ads. To block ads just get an ad blocker (assuming you have root access) from the market. And this is not "my app". I just wanted to share it with you. It runs with no bugs on my phone and it works flawlessly with my rom. Thank you for the feedback though, guys!

I can't believe this isn't an option. I was trying to take some picture of a textbook in a very quiet environment and that damn shutter sound was disturbing everyone. How could they not have a option for this?!
Serious fail
Root and flash a custom rom, or just the audio tweak in the dev. section.
But I agree Samsung fail on that and the stupid increase ringtone bs.

It isn't a fail, it is to avoid legal issues. In some areas it is illegal to shut off the shutter sound on a phone/camera. AOKP allows you to shut off the sound, but will give a warning that it is not legal in all areas.
yup above is right
And if ur rooted go to system/media/audio/ui and delete anything with the word camera in it. May also be called shutter_sound I think. Problem solved

I wouldn't just delete the sound but replace with a silent .ogg file because the system still searches for the file. If your rooted with cwm look in post #3 of my wicked thread and I have a flashabe zip to silence just the shutter sounds and another to silence all camera and camcorder sounds. Just download the file and flash in recovery and it replaces the files with silent files. That should work on any custom deodexed rom.
Here is a link to the thread and its in post #3.

I nt sure it is applicable to other country roms version..
In Msia Rom version, u could turn off ur shutter sound by putting it into silent mode before u opening the camera.
This is wat i did often when went to quiet environment such as library.
U could try this solution see it works or not.
