Has anyone found the setting on the camera app to turn off the shutter sound? I guess I could just turn down the volume when I take a picture, but I would rather turn off the shutter click. Any ideas?

You could try delete the sound file for it. It's located at system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
You will need root access for that. Alternatively (and probably better) backup the original file and replace it with an empty/silent one of the same name.

The stock camera app doesn't appear to support that. Many third party apps do.
Your work-around with the stock app is to just turn the ringer volume down...
Which third apps you recoment ?

I have the paid versions of Camera360 Ultimate and Vignette.
There's demo versions for both on the Market.
I don't think Vignette supports no camera sound, but Camera360 does.
I was disappointed that I had to buy two different camera apps to get the features I wanted (use volume buttons to take a pic, and mute the camera click sound). In all fairness to the NS, though, my other Galaxy S phones don't have physical camera button options out of the box either.
another alternative is...
to use root explorer or some other file management app and rename the sound file

Yeah, that works, but a bit tedious if you don't want it permanently off. Maybe an SL4A script and a shortcut that did it (renamed it back and forth) would make it more convenient.
But really, the easiest thing is just to turn the volume off on the ringer until you're threw taking your discreet pictures.

Hi,
i own a HTC Desire and i am currently using the latest Redux Rom.
I am happy with the stock Camera App (the one from aosp, i think).
Except one thing: i hate that sound, thats playing when you take a picture.
I hate having to turn my media volume down and there is no option to disable that sound.
I would like to delete that soundfile. (or replace it with a silent one).
Where can i find that file? Is it inside the apk? can i delete it from the apk?
Thanks
Using silent mode is not an option?
you mean the phone wide silent mode?
No thats not a option, thats pain.
I want to start the camera app and make a photo.
Not check if my phone is silent, turn it silent if its not, start the camera app, take a photo and end up in silent mode.
I never want that sound, so why disable it using silent mode?
Got it!
Just delete /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg

Thanks! Also trying to get rid of the sound when it focuses, none of em in that folder is the one I'm trying to remove though. Any idea where I can find the auto focus sound?
Mainly an issue I found using 4.0.4. When muting media volume completely, the phone still makes a shutter noise unless you put it on silent mode.
Is there anyway to just disable it altogether by editing system files or whatnot? Or an app or something that can do it? Or reassigning the sound to something less attention grabbing? I usually take picture of slides during class time and it would be annoying for my phone to keep making shutter noises every two seconds for the slides I need.
Thanks!
If you have a headphone jack plugged into it, even if the wires are cut. I belive it silences everything. You can try that. Otherwise CyanogenMod roms have that option built into them. I'm sure plenty of other roms do too.
I'm running AOKP and if it's on silent there's no shutter noise.. I think
just delete the shutter and recording .ogg files.
located in /system/media/audio/ui

That worked. I just renamed it to whatevername.ext.old instead of renaming it.
Thank you!
I'm able to disable the regular shutter sound my renaming Shutter.ogg in /system/media/audio/ui but does anyone know which file silences the burst shot sound?
Bump. Anyone?

Maybe it's the ROM I'm on but open up the camera app go to Settings and scroll all the way to the bottom and turn the shutter sound off.

You're right that worked, thank you. Originally that option wasn't available on Verizon but Synergy must have added that feature somewhere along the way and I never noticed it.
Hey, i want to turn off the camera shutter sound when you make a picture or a video but i dont have this option in my settings (cause its not allowed in my country). I have the unikernel and have root. I DONT WANT TO USE ANOTHER CAMERA APP!!! So i navigated to /system/media/audio/ui and i clicked every audio file and i deleted all the sounds that had to do with the camera app and now it doesnt make any sounds when i make a picture or a video ONLY WHEN I MAKE A SELFIE WITH THE FRONT CAM IT STILL MAKES THE SHUTTER SOUND, BUT THE SOUND ISNT IN THE DIRECTORY!!! I only have this problem on the frontside cam when i make a picture!! What can i do to remove the shutter sound for the front cam???
Im on 5.1.1 and i have the unikernel stock and i have a sm-g920f
have you tried CSC expert?. I think it has the option to turn it off. Its in the playstore.
Thank you very much!! i changed the value and deleted the app after reboot and its still in the menu this way i didnt need to change the others.xml file manually

Hi NZnewbie
FYI, I've successfully used CSC Expert for enabling the shutter sound menu option for my Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920I (Aust.) exactly as you have prescribed (Lollipop v5.1.1)
Many thanks.
Hi TheKingOfQueens
Thanks for asking the question.
I too changed the audio files believed to be obvious (via: /system/media/audio/ui )
Cam_Start.ogg
Cam_Stop.ogg
camera_click.ogg
Shutter.ogg
Shutter_multiple.ogg
VideoRecord.ogg
................by adding ".bak" file extension at the end and "******_" at the start of the file names.
I didn't delete them.
Immediately, the shutter sound for the REAR camera SEEMED to stop.....but on RARE occasions the shutter sound would occur.
Unfortunately, camera shutter sound for rear BURST SHOTS always happened and I can confirm the same for the FRONT CAMERA shutter sound (I was unaware of this one until you mentioned).
Weird........
CSC Expert is the way to go once and for all!
Many thanks.
The developer deserves a medal or some recognition to encourage him to hopefully continue his good work.
Regardless, I would be interested to know WHY the camera was still making the the numerous shutter sounds even after the renaming of the audio files (pre-implementing CSC Expert).
You know you could just put your phone on silent right?

Sure and funny enough I discusssed it today with a friend but the "Shutter sound" camera menu option only mutes camera sounds whilst providing full "alert" audio for everything else.
"Volume down" also achieves this but taking photos of recent neighbourhood events would make this a chore.
Shame I didn't know about this CSC fix earleir.
