Got the silence files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66258646&postcount=13
You DO NEED ROOT but its simple.
There are 6 files that need to change in system/media/audio/ui
af_failure.ogg
af_success.ogg
cam_snap_0.ogg
camera_click.ogg
camstart.ogg
camstop.ogg
With a root file manager (root explorer, etc) rename those 6 files to .old and replace with the files in the zip provided. Then just FIX PERMISSIONS and reboot.
Very nice find.
For those without root, i'll add this: I was playing with a camera app last night that was recommended somewhere, cymera maybe? And in it, it had an option to go silent. I turned all my volumes up outside the app, went in, took a picture, zero sound. So that might be an option for others.

Thx, works good.
I have the T-Mobile variant and if my phone is on silent, there is no shutter sound.
I believe this is a way to silence the shutter sound without having to add the step of muting your phone.

correct
Hmm so I'm trying to figure it out but no luck yet. I have the sounds disabled in camera except one. When you long press the take pic button. It does the multiple shots til you let go, the click sound is there. Any idea which sound file that is?

it's crappy, annoying and unwanted. how do i mute it (without putting the phone on vibrate)?
Are you rooted? If so then you'll have to download "root explorer" app (if you don't have it) and then scroll down to SYSTEM, then SCROLL to MEDIA and delete the camera.ogg file (I believe that's the name of it) and the recorder.ogg file (I believe that's the name of it). If I helped please feel free to hit the thanks button.

Do not delete those files right away, try renaming them to something else first. If the camera app still works, then it is safe to delete.
But for me when I renamed the files (in my Nexus S they're in /system/media/audio/ui/ and the file names are camera_click.ogg and VideoRecord.ogg) the camera app cannot start anymore. The error message was weird though -- it says "Cannot connect to camera."
Then I renamed the files back and the camera app works again.
nope. not rooted. just plain ol' stock 2.3.2

You just need a blank sound file to replace it.

Yeah, I think that's the way to go.
If you make your phone silent, I believe the camera makes no shutter sound.

I always delete both files after I download a new rom and the camera works flawlessly. Trust me it works and it's extremely easy.

Why dont you just to to "Vignette"
you could hold the volume down key for 5 seconds before you take a snap
I know I can turn the ringer volume down to silence the shutter sound but...is there a way to permanently disable it?
delete it? any help is much appreciated. thank you!!
You'll have to root your phone, mount the /system partition read/write and delete the sound file that's located at /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
not a problem. now, im assuming that this will just take the picture without the sound...and im also imagining that i wont experience any fc's.
thanks, man, ima nandroid and delete that file.
you don't have to delete it, just rename it, maybe you want the sound back

true.
i made a b/u prior to deletion. a few tests last night and everything worked fine.
Unsure when this started or if I just hadn't noticed but went I recently changed the default SMS sound I get a notification when turning off the U11+.
The default notification sound accompanies device shutdown or restart.
Is this a stock feature or have I inadvertantly turned this sound on?
Thoughts or suggestions on how to turn off if it is possible on stock?

Let me check with mine later. Sound could be built-in in boot animation.

@kenosis is right, audio.wav is embedded in a folder named part4 inside the boot animation file located in /system/customize/resource/hTC_bootup_U_QCT_2880.zip. i opened the zip on my laptop, renamed the audio.wav file to audio.wav_ copied the updated zip to my U11+, backed up the original hTC_bootup_U_QCT_2880.zip_, pasted the new version in the folder, set permissions and waa-la, no more boot-up sounds!

Thank you for sharing this. This is helpful but not what I am seeking.
The issue with my phone relates to shutting down the device which triggers the default notification sound(not HTC jingle). Is this stock behavior?

whoops! yeah, i totally misunderstood (or misread, lol). definitely not having that issue.
Mine is quiet both on startup and shutdown.
I found what was causing this.
Flick Launcher notification access was turned on - turned off did the trick.
Interesting setting. Not easy to figure out what was causing it.
Disclaimer: I accept the risk of beta apps and the journey to find solutions to hidden "features".
New phone, Pixel 5. Trying to disable the annoying shutter noise when a picture is taken. Phone is rooted (and confirmed with rootchecker), can access the root dir. Found the camera sound file (to replace with silent audio file).
No file browser I've tried (5+ of them) will let me change the permissions so I can write to the folder/file. It's moved in Android 11 to root/product/media/audio/ui
Any way to change the permissions there?
Hi guys, Is there a chance to add custom ringtones or notification tones to watch 4?
Or maybe to replace the default one with other files with the same name....
It's not working to add files trough Manage Content/Add Tracks
Following for the same answer
Použil jsem správce souborů. Přeposlal jsem melodii k hodinkám, pak jsem je přes správce souborů přesunul na vyzváněcí tóny a poté jsem hodinky restartoval a bylo to tam.

That didn't work for me. If I try to move it to the ringtones or notifications folder it won't allow me to move or copy over the file.
Actually it did sort of work. One of two mp3s did appear when I dropped them into the Notifications and Ringtones folder but the other mp3 didn't. It didn't appear straight away but I've no idea what triggers it and why one mp3 worked and the other didn't.
Anyone have an answer for this?

How did you get the ringtone file on the watch?

1. I use Samsung Music Player on my phone with a number of playlists that I synced over to my watch through the Wearables app.
2. I then downloaded a File Explorer on my watch from the Google Play app store.
3. I opened the app, browsed through my watch and found a media folder containing all the songs I had synced over. I chose a song I wanted as the ringtone and copied it over to two other folders, one called Notifications and another called Ringtones. These folders were NOT in the Root folder.
I actually copied over several songs but only one appeared as selectable in the Sound menu of my watch. I've no idea why that one song appeared but the other didn't.
4. Also you might need to restart the watch and wait for a while as the song didn't appear straightaway.
I can confirm
(1) use the wearables app to transfer the ringtone/notification in MP3 format to the watch.
(2) Then a file explorer to copy the ringtone to internal memory/ringtone and/or the notification to internal memory/notification
(3) Press and hold home button and select power off
(4) Press and hold home button to turn watch back on
(5) wait (even for a little after the watch has finished booting)
They then show up as a ringtone/notification but ONLY on the watch (Galaxy Watch 4 Classic), you can't make the change on the phone as it doesn't see them in the wearables app (or didn't for me anyway).

I had to search for a file explorer on the watch itself
theres a notification and ringtone folder in the internal partition, but theres also a media folder where the default notifications and ringtones are stored in the root partition as well.
I dont know if you have write permission in the root area though.
I was looking for the hourly tone to see if it could be replaced, but i dont see it in the list of system sounds which it has for things like charge and touch. The watch ticking sound seems to be its own app also.
@sesnut you don't need to add them to the root partition, just the one mentioned in my post.
@al czervik I picked Wear File Manager as it was the first I came across with a rating above 4.
What's now annoying me is I can't specify an alarm tone it uses the ringing tone.

yea but if added to the root partition it will probably show up in the wearable app, assuming it doesnt use its own list and pulls it from the watch
@sesnut maybe, but that would most probably require root permissions...
I did just try and it would appear a symlink is created into that folder as when I tried to paste the ringtone into the ringtone folder in the device root it said the file already exists.. Despite it not showing.

This method works. Thank you.
can confirm that sounds do not show up on phone
I noticed that the list on the phone is using alphabetical order and doesnt actually specifically list what ringtones are on the watch so whatever you named your ringtone it will take up that slot and play that tone when you select it.
meh, me im old school
i have 3 folders under my platform-tools folder (or any folder with adb.exe in it), named Alarms, Notifications and Ringtones, with the suitable files in the matching folders
and a batch file called pushtowatch.bat, with contents:
Code:
adb push Alarms /sdcard
adb push Notifications /sdcard
adb push Ringtones /sdcard
as im often resetting and/or testing stuff, i just
1) enable developer mode on Watch (im going to do this anyways)
2) enable ABD Debugging (Debug Over Wifi)
3) adb connect <ip> (using IP shown in above step)
4) run pushtowatch.bat
5) disable ABD Debugging (Debug Over Wifi) - otherwise battery drain
6) reboot Watch to update media index so files show in picker
everybody ought to know how to do simple things the manual way, i dont install apps to do things i can do without too much drama, of course you can add other files to stock folders in a similar way
