Hi guys,
i don't like most of the sound any smartphone does when doing any kind of stuff.
So i simply deleted all sounds in system/media/audio/ui.
Since goolge is putting some sound of their camera app (for example the HDR+ shutter sound) in the apk file itself i modified this, too.
I opened it with winrar and replaced any .ogg file with an empty one.
Afterwards i deleted the .odex file of the google camera and also cleared the dalvik cache with TWRP.
The camera app is still working so i guess everything went well.
But the HDR+ shutte sound is still there
What am i doing wrong?
I'm kind of clueless.
Thanks for your help!

Camera Sound Mod on JG4 (2.1)
-------------------------------------------
May apply for Asia area only.
After upgrading to JG4 rom, all shutter event will trigger the Shutter Sound playback in ANY apps.
e.g. Camera 360, FxCamera, Goggle, or other camera program
Even you disable the shutter sound in the apps, or mute the I9000, Shutter Sound must be triggered once you fire.
To solve this problem in a rooted i9000, you can replace the following ogg with a dummy ogg
/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click_short.ogg
I do think that a driver level trigger in the system will playback that ogg upon each fire.
HOWEVER, in the original Camera app (/system/app/camera.apk),
it use the ogg inside the camera.apk.
I tried to replace the ogg with 7-zip, and resign (Auto-Sign) the apk again and then place it back to /system/app/....... It is fail....
The system cannot recognize the camera.apk and no shoutcut is shown in the apps tray.
Any idea in playing with JG4 camera.apk?
There was a JF7 version camera.apk published on the Internet before but this version cannot be used in JG4 (distorted graphic)
The reason is probably because in some countries I heard cameras must make a noise (to stop people taking photos of women which didn't approve the pic)..

Yes, that' true for some area.
However, I need to work with my Camera in office or in client's office...
Some times I have to take a lot of photo of some machine in client's office and send it to my office at once....
The camera sound is too ignoring and it may let other think that I am not professional enough....

Could ask someone to extract the camera.apk from other rom from different region and place it on the Asian rom?
As I know, those Europe rom's camera have the option to turn off the shutter shound.
I am also using asian rom so i cant help...
Hi all --
I'm on liquid 3.5, and for some reason, it didn't include the sound recorder apk. I've taken it from stock 4.04 and installed it as a system app, but for some reason, when used in conjunction with the ringtone maker app I use, I can't get it to save anything I've recorded, it just gives me an error. It's as if it doesn't have permission to write to the internal memory. I've fixed permissions to rw-r-r like all the apps in the system/app folder; I've changed the ownership to "0-root" for both owner and group; does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? I like to make custom notifications recording my daughter's voice, and I can't do it while I have this problem.
Thanks so much in advance!
Hello,
I knew, this topic is more then one time discussed, but I can't find the answer.
At my defy there are three sounds for the camera:
1. the start sound(some kind of beeping nervously)
2. the focus sound
3. the shutter sound
I run my defy with cm7 white rabbit 1.6.
I'm able to disable the shutter sound.
also I've deactivatet the focus sound, it's still there. (settings>cyanogenmod>sounds>disable focus sound)
for the start sound there is no point to disable.
I also searched the system for these sound, but Ididn't find them.
It would be verry amazing, if my camera makes no noise.
I hate this sounds especially the start sound.

Install CatLog App from the Google Play store, run it. press home button to let it run in background.
open camera app, click an photo, close camera app,
open Catlog App save the log file and post the contents here ..may be some dev will shed light on it.

Renaming is enough. You have to kill the camera one to have an effect.

You say you've renamed the system files and that wasn't working and your solution is the same as what's not working?
Silent files seems to be a solution. But why? There has to be a sound file, somewhere hidden. When I delete the startup ogg, the sound is gone. So why not with the cam ogg's!?
I hate to bring back old threads but it's better than creating another one for the same exact question:
I just got another G4, h811 and rooted, trying to disable the camera shutter, i've renamed all files at first and nothing was working, the shutter still persists, then i went and delted all the camera files in the 'system>media>audio>ui folder, and rebooted the phone, and checked back inside the folder, the files are gone, but the camera shutter still persists! All the camera sounds are still on, the autofocus, the click, and the shutter sound. What gives??
hello,
i'm having issues with stock camera app.
when ever i take panorama photos and try to view them in gallery (regardless of app used), i get this error message:
"cannot display panorama / the image file does not contain the required panorama metadata".
so far i tried with default gallery app and quickpick. neither of them are able to open the panorama file.
i also tried with google camera app. this seems to take panoramas without issue.
the only time / place i am able to view the panorama files is right after i take them and use the "recent pic" option from within the camera app.
right now i`m on android 7.1.1 with OS 4.1.6. unlock bootloader, TWRP, rooted device, stock OS / kernel.
already tried to clear camera app and gallery app data/cache. also did a wipe of cache / dalvik for entire phone. all in vain.
so .. if anyone has other suggestions ...
thanks.
In QuickPic, don't press on the displayed panorama icon but pinch-to-zoom instead.
Also keep in mind that QuickPic is noticeably slower on Nougat and might take some time to render the photo in full resolution.
The fastest gallery for Nougat at the moment is Simple Gallery, which also shows panoramas without issues for me.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.gallery
The stock gallery doesn't give me any issues with panoramas, but it's a crappy slow app and I don't use it.
Nothing you can do about this. Something is fundamentally wrong with the way panorama-metadata is stored with their stock camera app.
Also taking panoramas in general is a PITA. I tried numerous shots at the beach last week. All were unusable because of countless stitching errors.
Clearing app data did not help unfortunately and It's not the only thing weird, also taking panoramas with google camera doesn't refocus for each shot.
Even some few OP5 camera reviews mentioned the same behavior. I really hope OnePlus fixes their app eventually.
