Is there a way to disable the camera shutter sound on CM7 without the obvious ( turning the phone on silent)? I can't find a setting like in the sense camera app
You can use your favorite file management app (make sure to mount /system as R/W) or adb to delete or rename the following file:
/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg

using Root Explorer, in R/W mode, i can delete camera_click.ogg (or rename it), but it just comes right back. thoughts?
Use Tasker and have it turn off system sounds when camera app is open. Works wonders for me.
Also Tasker is perfect for turning my ringer down during work hours, putting phone on Airplane mode in the middle of the night (i average 1-3% battery drop over 8 hours of sleep) and disabling the lockscreen while plugged into power. It's a great program and worth the few bucks.
use root explorer and copy camera_click.ogg and then use ringdroid or another audio adjustment app to shorten the track to almost nothing or make it a silent audio track and drop it back in the right system folder. worked for me.
ringdroid doesn't support .oog filetypes as of yet. I like the idea though...
Any 1 know of an editor that does?
now that I seen this thread the camera sound gets on my nerves

With your phone or computer, make a one second or so silent audio file in either wav or mp3. Look at the properties of the camera_click.ogg to find out what bitrate and sample rate it is. Find a free audio converter program that can go to ogg. Set the encoding parameters to similar of the original ogg file. Rename the original ogg to something else and name the new file exactly the same as the original file. It works, I've done it many times before.
I've also had crashes in the program like camera or camcorder if the sound file is missing.

I just used Root Explorer to rename the file:
/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
to
/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg.old
Works fine. Although that just silences the actual shutter sound, the phone still makes the beeps after done auto-focusing. Any ideas on that?
Tasker is an awesome tool.

I'd be looking for that also, exactly how to disable/rename whatever sound is responsible for that beep when focusing.
I miss the simple ability to disable sounds from the sense camera... also the ability to touch focus too
Remove camera click

You can replace the file /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg with the camera_click.ogg file that I placed inside of the attached zip. This works for CM7.
Wrong thread this belongs in the Q&A forum .
Bumping this up for any information on how to disable or quiet the auto-focus beeps. I read something that hinted that the beeps aren't a sound file but a function call to the tone generator? Is there a modified version of the camera APK for CM7 with this removed?
Regarding the shutter sound, what I do is rename camera_click.ogg to .bak and then copy effect_tick.ogg to camera_click.ogg. This gives a nice quiet but audible feedback that the picture has taken without being too loud. But the focus sound still distracts or wakes the baby...

This will remove all camera sounds from cm7. Flash in recovery

Hey thanks, I'll try that out. Is there any way to disable only the focus sound but allow the shutter sound? If this simply rewrites the camera_click.ogg I can replace it again afterwards - if the APK is modified to not even call it though, is there any instruction on grafting that back in?

Im also looking for this fix. I have the Korean Model phone, and the local.prop option does not work;

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.
Hi,
Please move this if it's in the wrong spot. I tried to reply to the existing post but it told me new people with under 10 posts had to post in here first.
Original post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2770335
The current software version on the HTC One M8 does not have the camera shutter option in the camera options.
I have edited the default.xml file however I do not have read/write access in that area.
What do I need to edit to give me that? I need to turn the shutter sounds off as it drivers me crazy. The lower you turn the sound the louder the shutter noise becomes. Put it on silent or DND and it's very loud.
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.
Has anyone been able to quiet the shutter sound?
Without root, it is impossible to rename a file or even locate it, and the built-in camera application doesn't have many settings.
Setting sound profile on vibrate only does the trick for me.

Like the other poster above stated, put your sound file to vibrate mode and you won't here the shutter sound. This is true for both Android 5.0 (Lollipop) and 6.0 (Marshmallow), as I've done so before.
