Camera shutter sound - Galaxy Note 3 General

Hi guys.
I flashed the custom rote X-Note 15 and suprisingly I still can't disable the camera shutter sound.
I tried many ways :
- app Galaxy Note 2 hidden features
- app silence stream something
- app camera mute
I also tried to remove the ogg files from /system/media/audio/ui/ , camera_click.ogg and camera_click_short.ogg, renamed them to .bak.
Camera still makes sound ...
I replace the orignal ogg files by copies of camera_empty.ogg ... in vain. Still the ****in sound.
I don't get where the sound comes from. I though maybe it was in RAM , so I restarted the phone, still the sound was there.
Now I found the apk SamsungCamera2Guy.apk, which contains the sound. But coudl it be possible that the application takes the sound file from the apk each time ?
If so, I would like to edit the apk and remove the file directly. I tried with a few tools but it failed so far.
Any hint how to remove once and for all the sound ?

Download the file, extract it. move the extracted file to sd card.
from phone: using root explorer, locate extracted file, move it to system/app, you will get a warning message saying camera.apk already exists are you sure you want to overwrite it?
click ok
long press on camera.apk and change permissions accordingly.
USER: check "read" "write"
GROUP: check "read"
OTHERS: check "read"
reboot phone
I can't play the file on Windows 7. I have tried with many third party .3gp apps. But it didn't success. So which software do I have to play on PC.
And what about photo improvement as you did great job with the 2.1 one??? When could we be able to adjust exposure, X10 has quite big problem to take good photos without exposure adjusting during photo shooting...

Cheers mate. I forgot that VLC player.
When I compared to watch .3gp and .mp4, .mp4 video quality is better than .3gp

just overwrite that current version?
thats it?
MMS settings
Hi ... as for 2.1 camera excellente job .... I can cleary see the improvement
As usual to change the audio may be dangerous for shyncronisation
One think I observed and I would like to suggest is concerning the MMS settings
Currently the format is 3gp but with size 640 by 480 ......
Trying differente sizes ... produce reboot when playing the video
Because of these settings the video length pemitted within the 300k standard is just 7-8 sec istead of the almost 30 sec permited with 320 by 240 or by using QIF smaller sizes......
What I wonder is if it would be possible to set the MMS video on 3gp but with smaller size or if it is available a tool (like the one used in the last 2.1) able to resize the mms video
Thanks
Is this the same Camera app that Wolfbreak has included as an update to his CM 6.1.3 v4.4?
If so then can you optimize the 720p quality please, since I get audio delays and the recorded videos also have lags in them. The 720p can be enabled by just clicking 'Custom' in the quality settings and although you see green lines and distorted images on screen, the camera app actually records in 720p
If you can fix the audio and video issues, this will be the final answer to _ALL_ of our camcorder woes
Camera uninstalled by mistake..
Any ideas on how to install the new or get the old one back on CM 6.1.3 v4.4. Should have just replaced the camera.apk but instead I uninstalled.
Update: Used flashtool to install camera.apk from Rendeiro. Thanks to him.
Install the codec from here...

You dont need any 3rd party softwares.... Say thanks, if helped....

[MOD][2011-08-27]Improved video & audio setting

Hi there,
here's my patched media_profiles.xml which improves your LG 3D video&audio recording quality.
The sound is significant improvement, i was sick of that "crispy" noise. After trying this patch you'd hear the sound is more natural.
You only need to apply these settings (replace the file in your system).
No need for additional patches or extra camera apps!
For recording on SD I recomend to use Class 6 or better, but i've made some tests on Class 4 with pretty good results as well.
That this improves:
2D and 3D video bitrate to 15Mbps
Video sound to 48kHz at 256kbps
What do I need
Your rooted LG Optimus 3D
Any file manager (eg. Root Explorer)
Download my file mediaprofiles.zip (see link below)
How do I install it
Root your phone (if not already done)
Download the file mediaprofiles.zip
Extract the media_profiles.xml from the Zip to the SD card of your phone
In your phone file manager:
go to system/etc and make a backup of your media_profiles.xml (eg rename it)
copy or move the new media_profiles.xml (the downloaded) to system/etc
Reboot your phone
Enjoy improved video & sound quality
Note that some players may still report the sound is only LQ at 24KHz 64kbps but just try it, you'll hear the difference very well
BUGS
Front camera is not recording
Camera app may crash when saving video - however video should be saved correctly.
... will try to get this fixed asap ...
DOWNLOAD:
File attached
Thank you so much,great job
15mb are for 720p or 1080p in 2d?
thanks so much
great mod =))
Seems to be working fine. Video is crisper in high detail areas and the bitrate in my sample video increased from 8 Mbit/s to about 12 or 13 Mbit/s.
Some weird behavior though: After I've shot a video (when I tap the Stop button) I get booted to the home screen instead of remaining in the Camera application. The video itself is fine though, no corruption or anything, but it's a bit of an annoyance to get booted.
Hi,
the bug with front camera seems to be fixed,
also the crashing camera app when saving the video seems to be fixed.
I'll make some tests and if this will work fine I will post the updated MOD asap....
I m using root explorer and i can't replace the mod file, i have read only message

Original Camera app is no longer crashing after saving the video
New bug:

Will try to fix this asap.....

OMg.... stupid.
EDIT: ( dont be kid, you just downloaded my mod and edited media profiles.... i checked it right now... and is my custom media profiles... )
Check the original media profiles, then check my media profiles and you see the diference, and then check my media profiles with the media profiles of this mod.. the same, just edited the bitrate...
And 1 more thing about the "audio" tweak... Be carefull with that, because some phones cant handle it for any reason, and the recording will crash soon as the phone "exceed" the limit.
may sound strange, but can we have a "compromise" version?
I would love this as the macroblocking on 3D is obvious on my big TV, but my SD card isn't that fast, any chance of an 8mbps version? (for 3D, double the bitrate of stock but not so high it needs an expensive SD card)

I think you should buy a class 6 sd card, or save the camera files into internal memory.. These mods are made for the best results as we can

[Q] Steps to Modding Camera?

Alright, I'm running Android 4.1.2 stock rooted and cannot get this to work. I've tried adding things to build.prop, as well as editing the media_profiles.xml file with no results. Pretty much, I'm trying to enable 1080p(default is 720p) video recording and/or increase the bitrate to about 20-25mbps(default is 12mbps), but when I change either files it has no effect on the stock camera app, and it says "Record failed" when using apps such as lgCamera or Camera ICS whether or not I made changes to the following files. So pretty much, am I missing something? What places should I look to see where camera settings are stored, and how would I mess around with the bitrate an resolution within the SamsungCamera.apk?

[Q] WhatsApp Audio Quality Record Solution

Hello,
With some devices, whatsapp audio record looks very awful, almost unlistenable. I know that the app provide some compression over the file to save bandwith, but the strange thing is that with other devices(Sony, Apple, etc...) the sound quality is just great. With this, i have 2 theories about it:
1- There must be a file with audio profiles that the app could use, just like media_profiles.xml that tells output, bitrate, etc, or...
2- Whatsapp is using a "generic" audio record method, not getting advantage of other audio options the device could offer.
The only problem with the second theory is that if you record a video throught the own app/3rd party, the audio is very clear and good.I've tried to look over system/, data/, etc/ and libs/ to see if there's any file that could lead to solution but nothing came.
Please, someone consider some further investigation about this issue, with i believe many people faces this.
Thank you.

Does anyone knows about the screenshot sound?

I'm unrooted user, and I have no idea to root. So don't mention me about the changing name of .ogg files.
For some app, I could mute camera sound. (accessibility apps..) with check a camera app that using sounds.
But for screenshot, I couldn't find app. Even all com.sony... com.android.... files.
If i find app that controls screenshot's sound, I can use a app to make the screenshot's sound can be silent..
com.kmshack.mute
I used this app.
It's already in the camera app....
