Is there a way to turn off the annoying camera shutter on CM7? Or at least put the volume down?
It's so darn loud
Either but your phone on silent or delete the files in system/media/ui camera_click.ogg and VideoRecodd.ogg

Change name of the file to something like (camera_click_off.ogg) that's what I did.

I tried changing the name and deleting it but it won't let me. It says Could not delete file. What app did you use to change the name? I am using the file manager that came on CM7

Root Explorer
I tried it with the explorer app not the root explorer one and when I tried to delete the file it said that the system file is a read-only file. I couldn't even change the name. Does the root explorer app give you access to be able to delete stuff from there?

I rooted my phone just to make this modification (it worked great) and immediately unrooted it. Now I need a warranty replacement. Will T-mobile detect this change? If so, can I just re-root, change the filename back to the original name, then unroot?
I doubt they'll be that nitpicky. To be safe though, just go for it

I went looking for those files to delete/rename, but the only one that was there was the video record one. The camera click file is missing. I renamed the video file at least. Despite that file not being there, I still have a shutter sound unless I manually turn it off. I looked all over for the camera click one, but I couldn't find it. Any suggestions?

open the zip on the phone there should be 2 files put them in system/lib/hw directory using root explorer or a program like it
hope it works for you like it did for me
Damn! I really want to try this but I cant write to my system directory. It wont mount R/W.

You have to use root explorer and put it into /system/apps/ folder then restart the phone.

you need to fix permissions and need the odex file, as well as the libSwypeCore.so file from /system/lib

Do NOT use root explorer EVER, to put system files in place. ALWAYS use adb to push the files, then chmod them to 550 once they are moved into place.

that is why you have to set permissions correctly.

Make sure the top row of permissions all have check marks.(leave the others that are already checked off checked, I sometimes jusst check off all 9 permissions boxes if unsure)

I have my icons themed with a CM9 theme too and I like how it keeps the theming.
I have an awesome red ics theme.
I too have tried everything under the sun even begging cursing kicking and even tried praying and I still can't get it to work.. I tried installing the zip in cwm and it didn't install tried unzipping it and dropped the apk in system app folder aannk didn't work after unzipping tried installing the apk like you would any other it showed up as an option in the launchers but when I tried to run it of course it just force closed so I tried moving the library file still force close tried fixing permissions wiping cache and dalvick cache still force close tried settings apps all touchwiz home clear data still force close.

Use root explorer.
Copy the apk to system/app
Set permissions correctly on it (check all 9 boxes if unsure) but don't install yet
Copy the lib to system/lib
Reboot phone
Then use root explorer and go to system/app
Click on the launcher apk and choose install.

That's because you don't flash in cwm. Follow the exact instructions in post above and it will work but you have to follow them step by step no shortcuts you must do it exactly like it says.

These are the steps you have to do if you want this work. Even though it is a zip file you do not flash it in cwm. Its not gonna work that way. You have to extract the files so you can get the apk file and others needed to do the steps above. You will also need a file explorer that allows you to get to the system files. I used es file explorer its free on the market. Follow the steps above and this will work..

You can copy a system apk and save it in /sdcard/ for example, and then copy it back to /system/app using a filebrowser with root-function, such as ES File Explorer, Root Explorer etc. No need for adb if you dont want to.
But I doubt the stock camera app will work on an AOSP build.

If you installing the camera from say CM10 which I would call stock for AOSP but I think Goatshocker thinks you on about the Sense camera.
If you use his app then load it up connect it to pc with usb debugging on and then replace Gallery2.apk and then reboot, oh and a tip don't let the app install it but just push the apk.
Also, the All In One Kit can push them too yes?

No idea on that but Goatshocker app works fine for what you want to do.
Did you sort this yet?
When you said "stock camera", I obviously assumed you ment the stock camera that comes with the phone, which means - sense.
Moving the camera between different AOSP roms shouldnt cause any issue. Neither should moving the sense camera between sense roms.
But moving the Sense camera to an AOSP rom - thats what I doubt will work.
In any case, you can always (if youre rooted, obviously ) copy the camera apk and replace it. If it doesnt work it wont start, thats it. The actuall copy/replace will still work.
Do note that you might need to reboot the phone after modifying /system/ applications.
In very rare cases you might have to do it through a recovery, using ADB, because the system might block access (similar to windows "the file is in use" message when trying to change an open file).
In any case, you should always back up the file you are replacing, before replacing it, in case the new file doesnt work.
I usually do it an ugly way, simply renaming the old file to "blabla.apk_"
That way the file will still be there, but the system wont recognize it as an application. If the new file works as it should, I go back and delete the ".apk_" file.
Just to clarify a final time: Replacing the camera app in /system/ will in 99% of the cases work with a root explorer on the phone, the last 1% might need to use ADB while in recovery or bootloader.
Ok in case anyone else wants to install smart manager.
From this post ( i do not take credit just sharing)
file to download. here
Unpack and put the 2 folder in system/priv-app. Set correct permissions for folders and files then reboot. (permissions= permission folders rwxr-xr-x then the apks and files rw-r-r then reboot )
The additional step we have to do being on galaxy s6 (at least what i did)
once you go into priv-app folder you will see smanager_PROVIDER....rename that folder to smanager_PROVIDE(incase for backup or issues dont delete, just rename)
then rename the 2 folder you copied into priv-app folder to smanager_PROVIDER and smanagerSDK_PROVIDER
reboot and good to go.
hope this helps
