[Request] disable camera sound from camera settings - Nexus One Themes and Apps

I ask you guys if someone is able to add in camera settings an option to disable the camera sound, it's not present in the stock app
the only way I found is to disable system volume via cVolume
anyone ? thx

Where's the file located?

+1 I hate that sound

/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
if you want it to sound different, just replace it with a different file.
if you don't want to hear it, just rename it.
if you want an automated process to do it, just make a simple script that renames it back and forth between the proper name and anything else (remember to mount r/w)
i don't get why people want this as an option.. is there EVER a time when you actually want it to make the sound? just nuke it... why waste the space for a radio button or check-box?
*edit* also, @deadpoux ... it's not an option in the stock rom because they've been trying to make it a legal requirement in many places, including the US. Not sure if this has passed or not, but here's the first link I found about it. http://www.tgdaily.com/consumer-electronics-features/41212-camera-click-sound-could-become-legally-required

sorry in advance for being so noob, but.... how can I delete/rename the file?
Tried using terminal emulator on the phone, but get no permission message....
please advise.
thnks

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
Should do the trick.

if you're not comfortable with using adb, just download "rootexplorer" and navigate to the directory then in the upper right corner, click the button to select "r/w" access (read/write) and then long click camera_click.ogg and delete or rename, etc...
then switch back to "r/o" (read only) when you're done.

I will mention if you use root explorer, be VERY careful, if you poke around too much, you may cause issues with your phone. I can't see anyone actually bricking their phone with it, but it would require a reflash at the very least. I'd recommend at least trying to understand adb basics.

thanks guys, I used adb with your suggestion and now the camera is silent!!
thanks again!

That's the actual picture taking sound. If you hold the trackball to focus, there is another sound before the picture is taken.

yeah, wasnt aware of this, right...donno where it is yet, sorry..

Isn't that just the sound of the "Volume Up/Down" sound? In that case i wouldn't remove that one :-/

Re: [request]disable camera sound from camera settings
no i think its another one.
i guess we could listen to them all the find the second sound......

depending on what rom ur on
CM 5.0.5.3 has desire camera port and it has the shut shutter sound off in options
its a bit more difficult getting the CM 5.0.5.3 desire camera port to work on CM 5.0.6 and the app is obviously on the desire rom's, enom's official rom has the use for it as well

unzip & push this .ogg file to /system/media/audio/ui

Remove Camera App and Use SnapPhoto by adb?

What i was thinking if we could remove the camera app and replace it with Snapphoto to make it the default camera?
Please tell me if this is possible and if the button for the camera on the side of the phone if we can make it be used to activate the SnapPhoto App?
Thanks

If i had to guess yes you can.
Since Snap gives you the option to be set as default.
MOD EDIT: removed instructions
Might wanna wait till someone with more expertise confirms or directs you to correction.
Would you still be able to update SnapPhoto from the Market if you did this?
thanx for the adb code
im going to try it out right now
ok it works find i just made a mistake.
Thanks mikey1022!!

Yeah just like normal
Found a problem.
i made SnapPhoto to the default camera, but when im going to attach to a message and i choose camera and i get unexpected error
any solution?
I remember reading somewhere on the forum if you delete the camera.apk, you wouldn't be able to change your wallpaper & you might lose your pictures app. Are you still able to change the wallpaper & browse your pics?
Sounds like you need to place Camera.apk back in
the Camera app is built in and can not be removed without consequence.
It controls more than just the camera
is there a reason you want to replace it? you can have both at the same time.
I would have to guess....space
Ill go back so dum of me but i didnt back up the apk. so should I just reflash my current blue star 5 theme?
ALWAYS BACKUP EVERYTHING...fyi
If you need I will upload both the apk and odex
why delete the original camera software? just set SnapPhoto as the default camera and it will open when you press the shutter button.
Menu > Settings > Set as default camera
works fine
neoobs, hey my pictures app went away so if you could upload that for me would that include the pictures app with the camera app or could you upload those both please!!!!!
We know that.....why? unless he tells use, we can guess.
It happend, its over, hopefully he learned something out of this
BACKUP.
Plus that/this is also how he/myself learn also.
Taking the easy road at times isn't always fun. Take what this forum is all about. Taking things to their limits one way or another.

Disabling slide to unlock on KP V4 rom

Heya, I've recently installed Khalpower's V4 rom. Pretty awesome job =) However, I wasn't able to disable the "slide to unlock" screen. Since I'm using the pattern lock, there is no need for the slide to unlock screen anymore. The original moto rom would disable the "slide to unlock" screen when lock pattern is enabled. Is there an option to do so in KP's rom?
Many thanks! =)
Also, have realised that the camera button is not working. Have anyone experience that? Also, is there a known issues/bugs thread to keep track of any problems on the custom roms?
Thank you!
AFAIK the slider issue is there on all of the Froyo ROMS here (Dexters, Xavwanteds & Kahlpowers). I've never seen a fix for this issue.
If your talking about the gallery button (small button next to the shutter) this is also a known issue.
Ohh ic, thanks for your reply
Any idea where to get the old ringtones cos i really like the meadow grass ringtone =P and also the 15% battery sound notification is quite creepy :S anyway to change it?
Thanks
I should be able to dig up the default ringtones when I get home.
Look in /system/media/audio/ui, I would think you could replace LowBattery.ogg with the sound of your choosing (IDK if it has to be an ogg file or not?) that should work but I haven't tried yet.
Oic, do i access there using root explorer? Anyway if you have the default ringtone meadow grass would be great =D cos i backed it up only with recovery so didnt have the ogg files.
Thanks again

Would be appreciated.

How can I put the wallpapers on so it shows up as an option to choose from like in 2.1? (I mean like if I would longpress on homescreen I could select from a little gallery of wallpapers in the normal wallpaper way)
Ahh cool Anyway, how to gain excess to the root files? Tried with all kinds of explorers but didnt work. Root explorer is paid app so didnt try that. Didnt work with su on terminal as well.

If you long press the home screen >> wallpapers >> media gallery you can browse pics on your sdcard. I believe you would have to decompile edit and recompile the home apk to get them in the default wallpaper gallery

Is HX Camera-Mod Possible on the Verizon SG3?

This may be a dumb question, but is the HX Camera mod possible on our Verizon SG3's? It looks awesome in the youtube videos.
The link is http://hx-custom-roms.com/galaxy-s3-camera-mod
yea its possible. but unless you are releasing it then you may want to have a mod move this to the q&a's before some troll comes here lol
Anything is possible. Eschelon had it ported and built into synergy but video recording was borked in it.

General rule of thumb, if your thread title has a "?" or should have one it doesn't belong in Development.
I loved it when we had it. Not a much of a video guy on my phone, but I do like the pics options. Unzipped the .apk but won't let me install, just says installation failed. Any ideas?

I'm sorry if asking a question was inappropriate in this forum, but it seems like better answers typically come out of this subforum I put the apk into System/app (after renaming the orig. camera apk to .bak) and it works! I like the options to use the volume buttons to shoot video and pics. The only thing that would be nice is a menu option to kill the camera sound instead of having to delete the files as below:
note: To have the Camera COMPLETE silent you have to delete some system-Audio files from:
\system\media\audio\ui
“shutter.ogg”
“cam_start.ogg”
“cam_stop.ogg”
“Volume_controll.ogg”
Thanks for the help, loving my SG3 even more!!! This is the greatest phone I've ever had by far!

Only one glitch, terrible pixellation on video playback. Looks okay while shooting,but is horrible when played back, either on phone or on computer. I went back to the stock camera.apk and there's no pixellation. May have to try the other option listed above. Anyone have a fix for the pixellation?

[HOW TO] Remove camera sounds. ROOT REQUIRED

Hi all.. If you want to turn the sound of your camera then this is the trick if you use this with my mod of the camera... it should be completely mute. no focus sound or shutter sound.
use with this mod to eliminate all sounds (focus and shutter etc).
Stock camera no sound mod
Use a file explorer. In system writeable mode
Go to system/media/audio/ui
Then change the name of these files as on the picture.. You can name then what you want though. Reboot.. and enjoy. Working and tested on my I9505
This does not remove the little beep on manual focus.
as mentioned below.. there are several ways to do this...this is just my way, which is easy and it is easy to return to normal.. just remove the .backup again
The poweron.ogg is to remove boot sound

The good part about this app is that you will be able to reenable the shutter sound if you wish and the app can be uninstalled, also this app is not really needed as you can just add a line to the others.xml file in the CSC folder to achieve this. But yeah, you're way works as well
Thanks mate this is good knowledge.

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:
In Root Explorer, navigate to the following location:
/system/csc and look for a file called 'others.xml'.
Long-press on this file and select 'Open With', and then select 'Text Editor'.
Scroll all of the way to the end and look for the following:
</FeatureSet>
</SamsungMobileFeauture>
Insert the following line just before the </FeatureSet> code.
Code:
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Then pressing the 'Back' button will automatically save the file and back-up the original in the folder.
Restart your phone.
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:

The CSC mod does not work for me. "/system/csc" does not exist on my i9505. Tried the app that does the CSC edits and still no go. Deleted the media/ui files and the camera focus sound is still there.
The only way that I can silence the camera is to place the phone is silent mode.
Anyone have any ideas for a fix?

I'm not familiar with the various rom folder structures, but I get the impression this one is pretty universal...
However, if you post your rom version then maybe someone can help you.
Also, if you deleted the sound file, did you reboot afterwards?

I was issued an Australian unbranded i9505 and flashed Omega3.0 which I gather already has the no-shutter mod implemented. However, the focus sound still remained. I did rebooted heaps afterwards and it was still the same.
There's no CSC folder anywhere that I can find.

The OP's topic of this thread is to remove the shutter sound (press the button to take a photo), not the focus sound. So the fix that is being discussed prior to your posts are not relevant to the focus sound.
@MRDOCA who posted before your above quoted message is on Omega and seems to think the shutter fix worked for him, so he must have found the correct folder location. But even so, this won't help you with the focus sound...
If you've found the shutter sound file in the media/ui folder and have rebooted, do you have custom recovery installed, can you wipe caches and reboot?
I'm out of ideas other than this, maybe someone else will recognise your problem and offer better assistance.

Yeah, that beep. I wonder if any other users have the same issue as me.
Meanwhile, I created a tasker profile to automatically toggle silent mode when using the camera. Not an ideal fix but works.

If the Camera App doesn't have that option under Settings and your phone is rooted, you can disable it using a
root explorer App and navigate to: system/media/audio/ui
and rename the file "camera_click.ogg" to whatever you want.
This isn't really a solid solution to your problem (could be a hassle to you), but if you put your phone on silent or vibrate you will not hear the shutter sound go off! This works for me as because my phone is always in vibrate mode from the moment I wake up, however like i said not a solid solution if you don't prefer silent or vibrate mode.
Just mute your ringer. It works, at least in EU version.

root explorer App and navigate to: system/media/audio/ui
and rename the file "camera_click.ogg" to whatever you want.

The option doesn’t exist in the settings. Muting the phone before every time I use the camera is too much of a nuisance since I keep the sound on for other apps.
So, since my phone is rooted, your option of renaming the sound file is the best one for me. Tried it and it worked perfectly.
Thank you!

The option in settings is a custom ROM feature that some ROMs have. Keep in mind that removing the .ogg won't disable the sound for the HDR+ mode in Google Camera, as its embedded into the apk. You could use a Tasker profile to mute it when your camera app is open, too.

I purchased Tasker long ago, just to support the author, but to my shame I have not yet learned how to use it...... ?
That would indeed be a good use for Tasker. Maybe I will find a ready made profile (if that's what they are called) that someone else donated.
Thanks for the suggestion.

If not Menton me here and I'll make one. I fulfill tasker requests all the time.
Thanks Sandman. There doesn't seem to be one I can find so I would appreciate it if you made one to mute sound when I click on the camera shortcut and unmute when I click on home.
Thanks.

Sorry man. Just now seeing this. I'll try tomorrow. No promises though. I'm pretty good with tasker but I think this one will be a challenge. 1st part will be easy. 2nd part will be a bit more tricky

OK here you go man. Let me know if you have any issues. I did test it. If you have notification sound issues while this profile is active (only while in camera app) let me know. I'll find a workaround.
Make sure you remove the .XML extension (leave the .prl). Move to SDCARD/Tasker/Autoimport. Relaunch Tasker.

Got it. Thank you very much!

No problem
Be careful with it, it is illegal in some countries to shut up camera sound when you take pics. To answer your question, i dont know, but i'm french and i don't have played sound when i take pics.
