[Q] S4 mini shutter sound - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
Any means of disabling, or at least, lowering the "shutter sound" on this device ?
I know this is a recurring question on many devices, and that in some countries (including mine apparently), there are laws that require cameras to be "noisy", but I'd just like to make it a little quieter, not even silence it totally.
I've checked in the menus: no "shutter sound" option anywhere. I've fiddled with the different sound menus, to no avail. The thing is: I know this is perfectly possible by rooting the phone, but is there any app/mod/else that could do the job without having to root the phone ?
Thanks for any info/pointer !
Regards,
Bruno

Look for Google Enforced Stream Silencer. (https://sites.google.com/site/enforcedstreamsilencer/)
It works on my I9195.

Did you tried to remove the media files from /system/media/ui or replace the by less noisy or empty ones

OK, thanks, I'll probably root it when the warranty is over (or when I really want something that needs root but have no alternative, whichever comes first), but for now, I'll rather stick with Norris5's method.
Have a good day !

when the warranty is over you will use the galaxy s8 in 2 years ... you can root, use triangle away and if you got probs just reflash the stockrom with odin

Doesn't seem like Triangle Away supports the s4 mini? It's not listed on the thread!

Hey Bruno, did you get this to work? I installed and activated the enforcer thingy, but hasn't affected my always on, always loud camera shutter.
Thanks for any advice.
Chris

What about using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.almalence.opencam
It better than stock camera, and has option to disable the shutter sound.

No luck...

Hi Chris,
Unfortunately, no, it didn't work for me either. Sorry to have neglected informing the list earlier.
However, the app TNCS is talking about in his answer (called "A better camera") works perfectly and does not make any shutter sound ! Great !

I believe it is generated once outlook is run from your computer.
Was this the case? I don't have Outlook, but can help you troubleshoot.
im assuming it is then...i dont use it either...i just use it to backup my contacts incase...im trying to delete the account but im not able to do it.
btw love the new zoom feature in opera
is there a way to save favourites from opera so i dont have to redo them each time...i used the pim backup but doesnt seem to save those

I'm looking into it.
I'll experiment and see if I can get Opera to read/write favourites from Internal Storage.
Any other ideas for improvements?

Glad to see you have a new home base here.
Super excited about the Sprint rom... just curious as to whether anyone has beta tested for improved battery and EVDO results? If so, what kind of improvements are showing?
Also, I am thinking this may be an Opera specific thing, but has anyone noticed that the font size settings do not stick after you close the browser?
Great work Juicy

BlueVD said:
Nope... The cam works now but that program is a native binary (executable). The apps use the Dalvik VM (and thus the framework) to access the camera. Right now I'm working on the framework to fix up some stuff and then it's done

Sorry, double posted due to my crappy net conn. Hopefully, by tomorrow I will have the framework too and then, update.zip

thats ok, but i dont wanna see that notification icon..... there is no option to disable it, can you pls help me how i can get rid of that ?
one mor ething, off topic, is ur name akasha ??? if not what does it mean ? if yes also same question for you.....
I was using Total Recall with my i9000 (substituted libs) but regrettably it doesn't work with my new i9100.
Callrecorder seems to work in the meantime, but like manuvaidya I'd rather have greater scope to customise functionality, including getting rid of the perma-notification. Any other applications working, or can anyone figure out how Dsoft have their recording app working with the SGS2 when so many others don't?!

Quick workaround that might solve your problem....
Startup Manager is an app where you can add programs you want to launch on boot.
I tried and got the app to start on reboot.
It doesn’t start in the background so your first image on reboot will be the call manager..
It's not an perfect solution, but would help so you don't forget to start the app.
Maybe somebody else know about something better..
Thanks for the Startup Manager idea.
The SGS version is only for Froyo and doesn't work on an SGS with Gingerbread rom. So don't expect it to work on SGS II for now.

Callrecorder doesn't work with my Bluetooth car kit - just get feedback over the speakers (though the recording is ok). Anyone else having success with BT devices?
SGS/amended libs with Total Recall worked perfectly over same BT kit, so I'm guessing Callrecorder is recording from microphone instead - which works when using the handset mic but not so well with a high gain car mic?

[NEED TESTER] LCPInt App Support Checker

Hello guys, I recently had an idea related to NFC but in order to give my users the best support, i wrote an app that checks for some features of the device and shows an emoction. Unfortunately i can only test this app on the Android Emulator (which is really slooooowwww). I need as many testers as possible to test my app (available on play store, i can upload it wherever you want).
EDIT: I need as many devices as possible for an update. Please comment below!:good:
Hope someone will test.
Thank you, cascio97

Hello people,
this app is developed by a friend, and he's adding support to new devices.
Our phone is the third that have support and he need a bit of debug
For try the app, you have to join the Beta Community on G+ and after you can download the app from the Play Store.
HERE, you can found the original thread
This app will be always free and without ADS.
The app had also a review on the Portal!!
Hoping you can like it, report here issue or new ideas to implement into the app
p.s.
atm i'm testing the app on Faux kernel, and is working fine.
FAQ:
- For saving a state of cpu or another items, longpress on it and press the heart button!
Great app! :good: You can make a Nandroid Backup with this app. Can you also restore the Backup with the app?

Yeah sorry I should have phrased that better, I meant to say that the the developer has done a nice job with it and also you for helping out with it.
You're lucky to get to be involved in the early stages. I was very fortunate to become involved with Cedric the developer of Android Tuner as the app was being designed, it just happened the timing was perfect as I was learning to build and tweak kernels while Cedric was building the app. We helped each other, he taught me a lot and also I was able to provide input on sense specific tweaks and commits that he wasn't familiar with, and my interaction with the community and general support helped him to be able to focus on development of the app.
It's great to hear you're getting to provide input and watch feedback and also see ideas come to life. Keep us updated on the app and learn all you can, it will pay off in unexpected ways.
