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 im running starskyrom v1.4 on my samsung epic 4g, and theres no option in camera settings to disable the camera shutter sound, i tried deleting the camera click .ogg files, didnt work, i tried renaming them, didnt work. is there perhaps a script to use with terminal emulator to disable the sounds? thanks in advance
The option is missing since the 6.0 update. The sound is present in the Evernote camera app even when the phone is in total silence (do not disturb mode).
go to /system/media/audio/ui/ and look for cameraXXXX.ogg and either rename it or cut and paste it somewhere else. no more click
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.
