Hello guys :victory:
Is there a way to turn-off the camera sound when we took pictures on our SGA2? (GT-I8160) without setting the phone to Silent?
I cant find an option from the Camera app...
I saw a thread here that needs busybux and a little commands, is there another way to disable the camera sound?
Thanks for your inputs...
here is camer sound patch i made http://d-h.st/Aa2
- Type "su" and give root permissions;
- Type "camerasoundoff" for disable camera capture sound;
- Type "camerasoundon" for enable;
Rename following files in system/media/audio/ui with any root explorer (Solid Explorer i.e.):
Cam_Start.ogg
Cam_Stop.ogg
camera_click.ogg
camera_click_short.ogg
Shutter_01.ogg
VideoRecord.ogg
That's what I've done, but I still get a little sound in the standard camera app (not really noticable in my opinion), so I think I missed one file. However, with Camera ZOOM FX, all sounds are gone.
I just put my phone on silent and i do't hear any sound, what do you actually want?

I thought of that too. Actually, that's what I did long time ago on my Symbian phone.. I just never thought to apply it on android :laugh:

Setting the phone on Silent is not my option though its so easy to do, but that is actually my question;
How can we turn off the Camera sound with setting the phone to silent... Re-read the 1st post please..
What I actually want is; I want to turn off/on the camera sound quick and easy...
Camera app -> Settings (Gear) -> shutter sound -> off

i'm not an android developer but i'm pretty sure it's very easy to make an app for renaming that files (with root ofc)

I asked these questions because as what I've said no sound option on camera app...
Root your phone, then add the following line to the end of /system/build.prop:
Code:
ro.camera.sound.forced=0
It will be silent if your phone is in silent mode.

Hi,
I found a way to turn off the shutter sound (by coincidence).
I turned off the 'systemsounds' and noticed that the shuttersound was off.
Settings>sound>volume>system (set to a minimum).
I don't know which other sounds I turned off as well by doing this.
I don't miss a sound yet.
My answer may be a little too late, but maybe I help other people with the same problem.
Greetings
wouter

Is it possible to disable/change the camera sound on a non-sense rom? The "click" sound gets annoying when taking several pictures.
I think that's part of privacy protection policy employed by EU govt. If u want no sound, just install 3rd party camera app..

I supposed that but I find it weird since I have a Nokia N95 and you can actually disable the sound...
I disable the click sound for the camera on my phone. You just need to turn on the camera and go to the setting and set the sound to off.

Problem is the rom I'm using (OpenDesire) doesnt display that option in the camera settings.
What I've though is to move/rename/modify the "click" sound that does with another one via adb.
You could try SilentSnap as it may work. It is supposed to launch your camera app with the shutter sound off, but since I use Sense/Froyo, I've no need of it.

This thread is now useless because from CM 7.1.0 we can now disable camera shutter sound in settings:
Settings -> CyanogenMod settings -> Sound -> Mute camera shutter

Just a small mod for turning off the camera click and video record sounds, it was driving me crazy.
I made small OGGs with no sound, the update overwrites them.
Tested on SGS I9000 and HTC Desire, also tested on CWM 3.x and 2.x.
SGS was running cm7 nightly 0509, and desire cm7 7.0.3.
Should work on all CM7 branches.
great work mate.
one question, can you turn off sound of auto focus too?
best regards
any chance for a howto?
cm is currently in nightly state so future changes in camera are possible.
Can't you just put your phone on vibrate?

Sorry guys was away for a while. Just flash it with Clockworkmod.
You will have to reflash the mod after every update.
Simple - just "install zip from sdcard" - "choose zip from sdcard" choose your file and reboot.

I do not have any sound for autofocus. When I take photos with my i9000 theres only camera shooter sound. With this mod the camera is totally silent.
This goes for CyanogenMod 7, on any device not just i9000.

Delete this file camera_focus.ogg
Navigate with the CM integrated file browser to the directory /system/media/audio/ui (root required)
Any chance this can happen? My old Droid Incredible could do this stock or rooted. It really comes in handy when you're trying to take pics discretely in public.
You can turn your media sounds to quiet. That's the only workaround setting at the moment. But yeah +1 to this mod/app/whatever.
if there is no app and you're rooted just move /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg to another folder when you want it silent.
i used to just delete it in my themes for the desire.
Or with tasker set it to mute volume when in the camera app, easiest automated workaround

I just turn the phone main volume down. On the side of the phone. Works for me.

If your phone is rooted, you can replace the audio file.
The original file can be foun in: system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
adb root
adb remount
adb shell
mv system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg.bak
I just delete the camera_click.ogg file, been doing it that way for quite awhile. Quick and easy. Only issue is that I have to repeat this when I install new ROM.
I may be missing something obvious here, but is there a way to disable the "tap to focus" sound as well? I had no trouble disabling the "click" ogg, but none of the other files in the directory seem to be the one that the camera makes when focusing.
Protected
I have Galaxy Nexus. Not rooted. Therefore volume down does not kill the 'click' of the shutter and the file ...ogg cannot be deleted. In simple words, seems no solution to silent camera's click.
This is done to comply with US laws relating to privacy, and imposed by Samsung (or Google) worldwide... Whether we like it or not (I don't like it, btw) - is not a matter to debate in this technical forum
root or not, it works, try again

yeah, i thought it was fairly obvious...
rename/move camera_focus.ogg which is in the same location as camera_click.ogg
Deleting them works fine. I have deleted almost all of the sounds in the media folder.
The GNex's camera isn't that great for upskirt pics anyway.

There is a 'phone mods' section in my ToolKit to rename the camera/camcorder sounds. Stock Rom users are covered as the ToolKit can boot an insecure boot image to your phone to give it temporary root access and allow the files to be renamed.

That only works in 4.0.3 Roms. In earlier builds renaming or deleting the file doesnt mute the focus sound although the other sounds can still be muted.

This app can mute the shutter and doesn't require root.

Probably because it set the sounds internally within the app itself and doesnt use the external system sounds. That way they can be enabled/disabled from within the app without needing root to rename the existing files
Shame the free version has ads in the worst possible location lol..

Works for me though on Android Revolution HD ROM on 4.0.2
Focus sound is nowhere to be seen! Not in the same directory as the shutter sound.
Hi guys,
Might be a silly questions - but I can't find the option to shut the camera up, for it not to make that annoying shutter sound. Do you have any idea how to disable it?
Thanks.

Here is a hack http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1385626&d=1349716392. It increases the loudness a bit and disables camera sounds

Thanks. I assume it needs to be rooted?
if you are rooted go to /system/media/audio/ui and delete or rename the according files!
no files, no sound!

Yes. This isn't a flashable zip by the way. It contains a file that you replace the original with... The file is default_gain.conf (found in system/etc)
Backup the original first.
Or do what TML1504 suggested. That's what I usually do.
Not possible on a none-rooted device?
When the phone is in vibrate or silent mode, there is no camera sound

No mate, only with root rights you can change system files or settings
just switch off ringtone in sound setting

Mine does it right. When I mute the phone, camera goes mute as well

Or, to make it the cleanest possible:
Under /system/csc, there is a feature.xml file.
Edit it, and under the <!-- Camera --> section, add the following line:
Code:
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
And you will have an option in the Camera settings to disable the shutter sound.

Same here, awesome!
Unbelievable! My hubby's 6 year old feature phone has a camera that you can't turn off the stupid sound.
I am stunned that on the Note 2, you must first mute your phone, then open the camera app, then hope your subject is still standing there waiting for the shot. Or I have the option of rooting my phone.
I don't know why, but this just pisses me off! :silly:
do we have anything on the camera shutter sound front? Id really love to silence it for good because not only is it abnoxious, but its also loud! preferably something simple for us who have the phones intact with all the bloatware and not rooted? plain old official out of the box stuff.

Without root ... i don`t think so
U must modify /system/CSC/others.xml and add

<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
with root it's possible by using wanam exposed.

Because in some countries it is forbidden to make "silent photo" or "spy photo" that is why they disable that menu

Sorry for asking, but just to be sure: Have you run the ESS app and checked the 'Disable STREAM_SYSTEM_ENFORCED' checkbox?
It was definitely working on my S4 mini with stock firmware (at that time).

I did, yes. my phone was silenced at the time and I figured maybe its supposed to be on loud when its done so I tried that too. Tried unchecking it as well but nothing. and Im on stock as well
