Holy crap, how do you turn off the camera sound!?!?

There is a guide online to edit the local.prop file to not force a camera sound, but, ****, we're not rooted so we can't use it. Anyone!?
Update 09/18: Thanks to the amazing zedomax and his root method, you can create a file called "local.prop" on your phone under the /data/ directory and place the code "ro.camera.sound.forced=0" without the quotes in it and reboot and be good to go. In other words:
1. Create a file called local.prop on your device in /data/.
2. Place the line of code ro.camera.sound.forced=0 in the file local.prop and hit Save.
3. Make sure it's in the /data/ folder.
4. Reboot.
5. Enjoy not having that ****ing shotgun blast in your ear every time you want to snap a photo.
Want to revert to stock? Change the code in the file to ro.camera.sound.forced=1.

wait for root...I imagine it won't take too long.
btw, has anyone tried the SGS2 rooting methods yet?

But... It's too damn annoying. And the stock messaging app is so childish

Some have indicated that on the latest camera update for the SGSII, putting the phone on silent or vibrate disables camera sounds. Does this work on the E4GT out of the box?

Its loud as ****!! Sounds like a pistol going off lol

wow, lol, I can't wait to try it. charging while off as we speak. this is torture.

I think this is done to comply with Korean and Japanese law that digital camera must have audible sounds to prevent voyeurs from secretly taking pictures. They have tossed this idea around in the States.

Yeah, it is built into the Camera.apk. You have to delete the sound file which can only be done by rooting it.

this is annoying... why do phone makers force this on us?
Seriously... if I wanted to take inappropriate photos, I would make sure to go out of my way to get a camera that had no shutter noise.
This accomplishes nothing but is extremely annoying.

What I was getting at was that instead of having multiple camera apps per country, they just have one universal apk that follows Korean law.

How to Disable Camera Shutter Sound! FINALLY!

There is a free app in the market called Shut up!Camera! Download and press the camera icon to disable the sound and THAT'S IT!! *Requires Root to use* You can press it again to enable the sound again, but who would want to do that?!? LOLOL!

You can just rename the sound file in the media ui folder. That will do it as well. However, I can kill the shutter sound but not the beep. Does this do the beep as well?
Nice find.

When I try to rename or do anything with files in that folder, it get an access denied error. Using Root Explorer or Astro with zedomax root.
What am I doing wrong here?

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

The app kills the shutter sound but not the beep. There is an alternative camera app called Vignette in the market that is better than the stock camera app that doesnt have a focus beep.

it doesn't mute camera shutter sound. sorry. have tried several camera apps that have the option to mute the shutter sound but the sound is still there.

It worked for me, Oh and your phone has to be ROOTED. Forget to mention that, sorry.

I renamed all my camera sounds weeks ago and all parts of my camera have been silent since.
You need root and root explorer, then go and rename all the camera sounds.

can you post the path to the camera sound files?
Thanks,
Price

Any app that can make the volume buttons take the picture instead of zoom?

Can you expand on how to change the folder permissions? I am using Astro and cant seem to rename the files due to not having write access.

The easiest way is to use Root Explorer. Of course in any case, you HAVE to be rooted to do this.
Make sure you remount it to RO when finished. You're playing with the risky stuff if you do any of this.

Why don't you guys just use Potatoman's hacked camera? Much better quality and its silent. Search for the thread, it's easy to find. I don't have time to post a link right now.

This is from the hacked camera post. Haven't tested myself yet.
Additional info:
If you want to get rid of the shutter sound, create a file in /data called local.prop and add the line "ro.camera.sound.forced=0" and restart your phone. This removes both the shutter sound and the focus sound when your phone is on silent, but keeps the sound when it's not on silent. - llBlackenedll

Nevermind I answered my own question.
Ill be rooted tomorrow anyways

do an image file search on your emmc / sdcard from your explorer on your pc, locate what directory its in, identify the program its coming from by the name of the directory its in, isolate the app and get rid of it after you delete the images.

you'll need to be rooted, and use an app like Root Explorer, or any app that has a file manager that can access system level. go to System>App> and find two files, one is SamsungCamera.API and SamsungCamera.odex either change the name of both of these files (eg: SamsungCameraOLD.API and. odex) or delete them, either way SamsungCamera.API and SamsungCamera.odex should not exist anymore. now that you've done that, use that root file manger to place his hacked SamsungCamera.apk and place it in the same folder (System>App>). then restart your phone.
note* you may need to mount your R/W card, you can simply do that by the giant button at the top of Root Explorer.

If you're on a deodexed rom, then you won't have those files. Just reboot after dropping the apk in there, make sure your permissions are correct, and you'll be good to go.

What are the correct permissions? I tried flashing the zip through CWM but no go. I'm on a deodexed Rom also tried dropping the Samungcamera.apk file into system/app...
Thanks

I hear there was a camera mod that made shooting videos a much higher quality but it only worked for the international version of the GSlll. Perhaps doing it for this would be possible at a later date?

I am actually working on the higher bit-rates also. I have a few versions right now, in testing, the only issue I am running into right now is that when you use the power button for the shutter, it also triggers the power menu. It still takes the picture and all, but its an annoyance.

Has the video recorder always had that click-click sound whenever the ringer volume is on?? That's really annoying. I thought shutter sound in the camera controlled both.

CWM and TWRP installs are interchangeable in most, if not all cases. Definitely when you're talking about a simple script like this one.

I saw that the codename android ROM (i know the its a different ROM build but maybe he has some ideas) has a the power button as the shutter already. Maybe you can ask the OP if he could advise you on the issue you are having.

Changing the touch screen clicking sound

I already tried changing the sound by putting in the "TW_Touch.ogg" and "S_HW_Touch.ogg" but it doesn't seem to register at all
The reason why I'm changing is because the "cik cik cik" sound on certain custom ROMs are hell lot more annoying and I'd prefer the stock "pop" sound for the touch sound.
Anyone would shed some light on how to do this?

Make sure you change the permissions of the ogg file to match those of other system files.
