I am having trouble finding and deleting the sound file that "chirps" or "beeps" when I touch an area to focus on my camera. Auto-focus and shutter sound have been removed such as shutter.ogg, shutter_multiple.ogg, Auto_focus.ogg and Auto_focus_error.ogg and some other camera related .ogg.
I tried playing every file under system/media/ui or ringtones or notifications or alarms in Root Explorer to see if I can hear that exact sound. Could not find it. It's gotta be somewhere right?
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
The easier way to do it would have been to simply edit the features.xml file to turn on the shutter sound menu button in your camera app. It is there, but turned off by Sprint by default. Turning it off from your camera disabled both sounds, and you can turn it back on later, if you like. Here's a link:

The focus chirp is actually built into the SamsungCamera.apk. Its not controlled by the feature.xml file or included with the other audio in the system/media folder. As far as I know the only way to silence it is to decompile the apk and remove the sounds in the /res/raw/ directory

Ok, I found the culprit. It's the autofocus_ok.ogg under SamsungCamera.apk/res/raw
Is it safe to delete this? Or do I have to decompile (not sure how to do this)?

I can't say for sure due to the fact that the camera is odexed but u should be able to extract the apk like a zip, remove the files and zip it back up. (Then change .zip to .apk) and replace it

Sorry, I'm not sure how to do this. Is this all done on root explorer? Because I can't find these files when I plug it into my computer.
Ok, I extracted the apk, deleted that file, zipped it back up and moved it to where the original SamsungCamera.apk deleting the old .apk.
Now it won't install the camera. lol
After installing, it says Application not installed. Help?

There was also a samsungcamera.odex file I think?

So after deleting the .odex file, I flashed it using CWM and it freezes when I try to open the camera app. Also, I checked the .apk in Root Explorer and it seems like a bunch of files were missing. I didn't even see the res or raw file. Thanks but I guess I'll have to deal with it.

Just started running bonsai on my epic 4g. I came over from tmobile (vibrant, Teamwhiskey) I've seen some screenies of people running bonsai with Stock/AOSP Mms. I've done some searching but can't find anything. help?
thanks guys
Just replace the Mms.apk with the AOSP mms.apk.
Texted while driving
Think he needs the APK still X.
Here it is if you haven't found it. Make sure to hit the thanks button for that guy that posted it. He's a badass. lol

Thanks for the link, but that one says its the text-about-voicemail mms.apk, is there any way to avoid that? I'm probably splitting hairs here but just curious, lol.
Also, i'm at work (no adb) I couldn't just fire up the apk on my phone, i'd actually have to push it through, right?
The text about vm is not avoidable. I think someone said you can block the 9016:// messages through sprint maybe? im not sure exactly. I use to care at first then i realized I don't really get many VM's. And if you're at work you can just move it into the /system/app folder. You dont have to use adb push. That's just another option.

I tried moving it into the system/app folder and it just gave me a parsing error, can't get it to receive texts. I put the old Mms.apk back in the apps folder and it threw the same error.
*edit*
I re-zip-flashed bonsai and it seemed to repair my texting ability. I tried the process again (replacing Mms.apk), then went into CW Recovery and wiped dalvik, booted and it still is on the samsung themed bubble Mms.apk. For sh*ts and giggles i tried tap-installing the Mms.apk and it wouldn't install, just as i figured. Suggestions?
Yeah tap-installing those system apps doesnt ever work. That's weird that you replaced the file, rebooted, and you were still on the old one. Although, technically there shouldnt be any need to reboot. I've switched out /system/app/Mms.apk and other apks without rebooting before. I do this all the time when theming. /boggle. Sorry, i'm not sure what more suggestions I can make. If you want I can try making it a flashable zip and maybe you can try that?

I'm running bonsai 4.0.1, not sure why it isn't working either. I'm not a dev but i'm no tech slouch myself and I can't figure it out. I'll try it again tonight. Also, teach a man to fish, don't give me the fish. If you happen to have a link for a tutorial to make flashable zips i'm all ears and ready to learn.
p.s. thanks button clicked.
Take a generic working CWM zip that replaces /system/ files. Delete all the crap out of it [dont delete Meta-Inf folder] with winzip, winrar, or 7zip. Drop in /system/app/Mms.apk . Most important thing is to maintain the file structure. As it will use it to push the Mms.apk onto the phone. Thats how i always do it.

I made the flashable zip, no luck. Just a thought-is the lack of the mms.odex an issue? does DeOdexing have something to do with this?
Yes,
I just assummed u were running a de-odexed system.

I need a modified camera without the focus beep.
Potatoman has the only one I can find but the links no longer work.
I mean, I guess they don't.
They're on multiupload.com
When I click the page is just blank white.
But when I google the current multiupload server status,
It says everything is working. Very strange.
I can't post on that thread or I would.
Here is original thread:

If you're reading this:
Stop and put your brain to the task!

Download either of Calkulin's roms (ICS or GB), extract the whole thing to your computer, grab the camera.apk file and do your thing.....

download ICS camera from the market, it gives non rooted users the ability to turn sounds on and off...works and acts just like the stock camera yet no sounds.
Pushed and it forced closed. Is it because there's a camera.odex file?

What I do on my ROMs is delete the camera.apk AND camera.odex file using root explorer (or some other good file system explorer).
Delete the camera sound files in this folder folder /system/media/audio/ui/: Cam_Stop.ogg Cam_Start.ogg camera_click_short.ogg Shutter_01.ogg VideoRecord.ogg
The push over the 'quite' camera.apk to the system/app folder (pick one from a previous ROM maybe the one posted here or Calkulin's or whomever - just try to keep it recent and of the same Android version ICS or GB).
Then set the permissions RWX-R-R
Then you'll have to reboot the phone for the camera to work to build the cache!
Once booted try launching the camera you may be told that media scanning is in progress, that's OK just wait a few minutes and try again.
Bam no camera sounds.
By the way a deodexed file will work on an odexed ROM. But the system will have to be rebooted and the application may be slow to start the first time while it builds the cache(s).
good guide.

I can follow you up to the point of: changing permissions.
I need to research this step, would you elaborate or explain in more detail?

With root explorer click and hold on the file and the menu will come up, scroll to permissions, select and then adjust there.
Still no luck after setting permissions. I'll have to figure this out another way.

I've had problems with ES, for the last few months, and versions. As a matter of fact, I cannot get it to work at all, when editing the files. It usually changes something unintended, as messes up the permissions. Root explorer works every time, and doesn't have any issues with permissions.
ES Note Editor changes permissions to rw- --- --- every time you save. These files need to be changed to rw- r-- r--
It is a good practice to check a file's permissions prior to editing with ES
Also, in the camera app, you then need to set the sound to off.

Hello there,
I like to install custom audio such as new lock/unlock sounds, ringtones, etc to the /system/media/ui/ sub directories and every time I update CM10.1, they are gone and I have to transfer them again and set permissions. I was just wondering if there is a quick way to transfer them back without using root explorer and editing them one by one?
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,

Not really as you should never restore system files. You could change them in the ROM itself before flashing it though. I believe it'd be faster on your pc than on your phone.

Ah ok, thank you for the insight. Are you talking about using a root explorer on the computer through the usb or was that in reference to patching the sound files into the rom zip? :highfive:

Ok cool I have a copy of 7zip on the pc, had to get it since winzip is getting so bloated and slow plus not supporting a vast assortment of compressed files. Thank you
I have found a way to easily import the sound files after rom patching. I just built a flashable zip and included the files I wanted to replace or add.

Just rename all the .odex files (file manager while in recovery) with a .odex.bak and it should work fine.
