Hi all,
This may be a totally noob question and feel free to delete the thread if it's been answered before but here goes. I updated my S3 via Kies to the 4.3 update and all went well and seemed to be working ok. However the camera now has no shutter sounds. I know having it silenced is a good option but sometimes hearing it helps. I've tried changing volumes, rebooting, everything. The only answer I get from Samsung is to factory rest the phone. Would that help? Is there another way? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please check your camera settings?
A factory reset probably won't fix it

Thanks for the replies. I checked all the settings and volumes and they all seem fine. Looks like it's time to root.

I checked and theres no option. I don't think the Sprint variant has this option. It would definitely make life a lot easier if it did though. Thanks for the reply.
Found this. Didn't test it myself (I'm running MOAR rom). Might work for you?
Cool - I done this and it works a treat!!
**EDIT: This post refers to a mod which activates an unused menu option to switch off the shutter sound. Other sounds in the camera app will still be present. Thought I'd clarify this in case of any confusion. 
Just in case anyone else wants to do this (I think this would be the 'correct' method of applying this fix as opposed to removing the sound file or muting your phone!), then here is a little guide.
Root access required of course, and I used Root Explorer to do the following:
1. In Root Explorer, navigate to the following location:
/system/csc and look for a file called 'others.xml'.
2. Long-press on this file and select 'Open With', and then select 'Text Editor'.
3. Scroll all of the way to the end and look for the following:
</FeatureSet>
</SamsungMobileFeauture>
4. Insert the following line just before the </FeatureSet> code.
5. Then pressing the 'Back' button will automatically save the file and back-up the original in the folder.
6. Restart your phone.
7. Now when you go into the camera, tap on the settings, so you get camera settings, video settings, and the general settings in a pop-up, press the settings icon/tab and scroll down and you can now select to toggle the sound on/off (second-last option).
Thanks to all above for guiding me to this little fix, it takes no time at all to apply. The camera sound was annoying me a bit and was surprised to see it wasn't a supplied function.
To revert, simply go back to the file you edited, delete it, then remove the '.bak' from the backed-up file.

And all credit to the original Dev. for the code for this mod, at this thread:

我已经发布了修复这些问题的补丁，如果你是一位来自国内的朋友，或者可以看懂我这段话，可以直接跳过这些说明，去我的Bloghttp://i.zyga.me/ 下载VillainROM5系列的SIM修复补丁就可以了。
感谢支持
如果你想自己动手修复这些问题那么好吧，用smali把com.htc.framework.jar的dex打开，修复我下面提到的2个文件就可以了，当然，你可能只需要修改一处。
Hi guys,
I and my friend flzyup are working on a newer slide port for weeks,but not finished yet. we got a lot of problems.Luckily,not everything goes worst,we found the way to enable the SIM contacts option in CDMA port and replace a stock Group instead of the broken Fave in Slide port.
The answer is
com.htc.framework.jar(sorry for a wrong file name posted)
We found that there are a lot of switches to enable or disable some special functions.
one of them called : isEspresso()Z at BuildUtils$Customization.smali
What that meaning?yes,we found this parameter make your contacts shows Fave or Group.So,change it from 0x1 to 0x0 can switch the Fave to stock Group,and sync to Gmail contact normally.
here is a screenshot:

}
and,another one called isCdma()Z at BuildUtils.smali,oh,you got it,right,change it can shows SIM contact option which in People view menu in your CDMA ports.and make you can disable the SIM contacts lists in your People list.
screenshots below.
both of these 2 files are all store at com/htc/util/contacts
HUGE THANKS TO JesusFreke FOR HIS SMALI TOOL
Enjoy.
Excellent.
Thank you for this; I've been unable to find it.
I will fix in all of our ROMs and credit you guys for the find!
It's a very good discovery. And it's very interesting. Htc did a ****ing convenient way for us to modify the smali files.
These are the great experiences we got.

nice done. Ive been searching alot for a way to disable SIM contacts but wasnt able to find a solution.
good job!
Guiz do you think there is a way to modify the .jar file directly into a precompiled and installed ROM? I have the ROm i'm using and i love it but it has the Sim contact problem, if possible i would like to modify the file in order to be abel to hide SIM.
Any of you can give me some indication on howto do?
thank
如果你看到我这句话 那你就是国内的朋友 感谢你这个 真的很不错我以前一直以为在apk里是htc的函数呢

Of course,but you must give me the ROM's name,or I can make a patch update.zip for you to fix it and keep your personal options and data too.
If you're using VillainROM5.x,go to villainrom.co.uk and download my patch there.
ok does this work? i disabled sim contacts on SuperHero but sim contacts still showed up.
Using cronos 1.3 but that sim option is not there.
Can someone please make an update zip with the patch please?

On a Touchwiz-based rom... (this may have been mentioned before.. sorry if it has)
1. Go to dialer and press *#RIL#
2. Press "Run IPC Dump Log"
3. Press "View IPC Dump"
Under ">[RSP] Configuration : MSL Information" - the first 6 sections of hex are your MSL/SPC.. convert the hex to text to get MSL(Master Subsidy Lock). The 2nd set of 6 is your OTKSL(One Time Keypad Subsidy Lock).

Might want to mention to reboot your phone before doing this. Mine had 24 pages of log and the MSL information that gets logged when the phone boots had already been overwritten.

so far none of those pw suggestions helped. even found my nand password but that wasnt it either.
anyone can try it out themselves by hitting *#RIL# > NV Backup and trying out passwords. NV Backup is safe so no worries of it actually working

Neither does the terminal emulator. It works fine on stock.
This process has less requirements, but is more work.
Terminal emulator option, IMO, is actually simpler.
More options is good overall though so thanks OP.
awesome
thanks
Good stuff. I just made a nandroid from jellyverse. Odin eg30 stock. Used terminal. Then restored. Took just a few minutes.

Hey there buddies, good day to all!
I'm having a problem with Hybrid ROM v2.1, although it is super fast & neat with enormous 80MB System ROM free storage ,
there are some sytem applications that has been removed like Simcard Tool Kit & Kies.apk, etc..
Now, i'm having trouble connecting to Samsung Kies in PC although it's not really important since i cannot update my custom ROM thru Kies, i just want to restore my contacts there.. lol
My other problem is the annoying pop up dialog box that says "Your balance is not enough to send a text. You only have 0 that will expire on etc.. etc.." that appears everytime i reboot my phone..
So i was thinking if the removed Simcard Tool kit.apk from Hybrid ROM causes the annoying dialog box..
So i tried to copy the stk.apk from my backup stock ROM & went to root explorer, mount as R/W, paste it to sytem/app & change the permission to rw--r--r-- and restarted it, but nothing happens. the annoying pop up is still there & simcard tool kit.apk stills seems not working & doesn't appear in apps drawer..
& Lastly, i'm using Creed's 14toggles bar & it's working fine in Hybrid ROM but i noticed that after i flashed it, everytime i connect to PC via USB, the icon in disconnect & connect USB was messed up..
Will be glad if somebody can help me.. thanks!!!!!
I am also using hybrid rom 2.1 but I am not having any problems and if you want to backup contact then there are a lot of applications in the market you can try them

Thanks bro. You mean edit it "by hand"? What if I put back the framework-res.apk that came with Hybrid? Will that work? Which specific file do I need to edit anyway?
At the moment I restored a backup I made before flashing Creed's status bar so I guess I'll be editing the framework-res.apk there, right?

Same problem?
For sim toolkit try this:

As for the contacts, I prefer exporting it to SD and then restoring after flashing a new rom. Faster than Kies.

Any luck with that yet? I am in a similar situation. I flashed CM10 but miss the stock alarm clock. I am currently using Alarm Clock Xtreme from the play market which is the closest I have found so far.
Trying...
I am new to this so I have been trying to teach myself as I go. This is what I have done so far:
1) I managed to get the .apk and .odex from stock.
2) Copied them to the system/media folder
3) Matched the permissions on them both in ES File explorer.
4) Moved them to system/app
4) Restart device
This is still not working and will not install. I feel like I am either missing a crucial step (most likely) or it is not compatible.

If it's a Samsung touchwiz app it won't work for aosp roms, without some modification to the app itself, it's not compatible.
I recently disabled this service on my stock JB device. I took a look at the OS logcat file and was concerned seeing approx 100 errors every few seconds. Attached is a sample, which repeated along with lots of other mystery errors. Anyone know what it means? There were no signs of trouble using the phone, but seemed excessive. I had tried the widget once a few weeks ago, then removed it. No alarms were set. Am I over reacting? What does it mean?
Sorry for the html tags. Also attached link to full log file if anyone has any insight into this or the other errors constantly thrown. Is this normal?
Thanks!

This looks like it requires some hardcore reprogramming which unfortunately is beyond my capabilities at the moment. I am self teaching myself this stuff as I go and have minimal programming experience right now. Coming from TW to an ASOP rom can be tricky from what I have been reading.
When I went to check for the October update I found that the System Update option was missing from the system settings. I side loaded the OTA and it's still not there. Before that I could still find it in the settings search but tapping it didn't take me anywhere, now it's gone completely.
I'm on stock with Magisk 17.2, going core mode only didn't help either. Anyone have an idea how to get it back short of a factory reset?

How did you get System UI Tuner in the menu? Did you use the app in the PS? Can you try to uninstall that? I don't even see advanced in the menu where the update check is. Heck, I'd just do a factory reset at this point if that doesn't work because something is messed up.

I presume you're on stock unrooted Android 9. If so it's time to bite the bullet and do a factory reset. If you're rooted and bl unlocked then I'm not your guy. I haven't bl unlocked for a couple of years now or even rooted my devices. (although that could change if my VZW Pixel 2 can get temp root) So with the various slots and possibility of soft bricking I hope someone else jumps in to help. Good luck.
Oh I just looked back and your rooted and bl unlocked. Sorry, I don't really know how to help. But if it were my device I would flash the October factory image with a full wipe and start all over. But as noted I'm not rooted or unlocked. Just out of curiosity, did you buy the device used?
