i have not seen anyone add a camera Hack yet
I got this off of one of the i9000 XDA forums, but didn’t bookmark so can’t relocate link right now…. adding as attachment here. I installed this on my I727-SR and it works flawlessly. For camera, you can use the volume buttons to take a picture (with ability to either press volume button and camera focuses, then takes pic… or hold the volume button until you’re ready to take pic… camera will focus and when you release volume button, shutter is activated). The Camcorder works as stock camcorder… where volume buttons are the zoom in and zoom out. To zoom-in/out with camera, use pinch-to-zoom. Everything seems to work fine and pics are excellent quality.
Here is what I did to install… I recommend copying your current SR camera.apk and camera.odex files to a safe location as additional backup in case you wish to restore.
1) You will need to be rooted and know how to use a file editor (like Root Explorer)
2) Download attached i9000 camera.apk to /sdcard/download folder
3) Using Root Explorer, navigate to /system/app and rename “Camera.apk” to “Camera.apk.SR” and “Camera.odex” to “Camera.odex.SR” (or something that helps you remember those are the stock SR camera files). You MUST rename both of these files. To do this you MUST mount as R/W within Root Explorer.
4) Using Root Explorer, COPY “Camera.apk” from /sdcard/download and paste into /system/app
5) Reboot
That should do it… you should now be able to use the volume buttons as the camera shutter for pics. To restore the stock camera files:
1) Using Root Explorer, delete the hacked “Camera.apk” in /system/app
2) Rename “Camera.apk.SR” to “Camera.apk” and “Camera.odex.SR” to “Camera.odex” in /system/app
3) Reboot.
And with the usual disclaimer, do this at your own risk, as I am not the developer of this apk or responsible for what you do/don’t do to your phone. If you follow these steps, it’s pretty safe.

Can't find the .oedx file using root explorer, even using a wild card search. I want to try this mod. Finding the camera.apk was easy.

Yea it does :/ 720p works fine though. Hopefully somebody can bring back 1080p
Camera Zoom FX does this natively for the faint of heart.

If you have root look in system/build.prop/ and change this line (or something similar) value to 0: ro.camera.sound.forced=1 -----> ro.camera.sound.forced=0. Haven`t tried it myself on the N5 though.
you can also delete or rename the sound files in /system/media/audio/ui. The filenames are self explaining and start with camera_ or video_; they are .ogg filetype.
On custom roms yull be able to

You can also switch your phone state to silent or vibrate only. This will kill the noisy camera sound as well.

Are you sure renaming was a success. Try a reboot, after that: is the sound still there and are the files still renamed?

Yeah, I even moved the files to other folders, and sounds still there.
I renamed the 2 camera_xxx.ogg and 1 video_xxx.ogg in media/UI folder.
Which files did you rename?

Exactly those. This is weird, you are rooted on bootloader is unlocked?
How did you move the files?
What is the exact path of the files?
Maybe, if they are still in an indexed dir the media scanner still finds them.
For me this was working on several devices...

I moved it to audio folder instead of UI using Root Browser.
The exact path of the 3 files are system\media\audio\UI
I renamed by adding a 1 in front of the filename.
Thanks!
Another way. Tested and verified on Nexus 5
In terminal when rooted
su
mount -o "rw,remount" /system
cd /system/media/audio/ui/
mv camera_click.ogg camera_click.bck.ogg
Not working when using HDR mode . ?!?!?
i've renamed, moved and deleted all three audio files (camera_click.ogg , focus and video), and i still have the shutter sound when using the camera AND hdr mode.
Why ?
Any progress on shutting the sound on HDR mode?
Ok guys if you want to disable the HDR shutter sound you have do some extra steps.
What you need are:
A computer PC/Mac will be fine. ZIP file explorer software (I recommend 7-zip freeware and rich format support)
Rooted Nexus 5 Debugging Mode turn on
Root Explorer App from play store
1. Launch Root Explorer and local to /system/app/ look for GoogleCamera.apk file copy it and move to SD card partition (I copy to Download folder on SD card partition which is easy to find)
2. Connect the nexus 5 to your pc/mac copy the Googlecamera.apk from SD card partition to your PC. After that rename the GoogleCamera.apk to other name on your phone.(after modifity the apk and load back to the phone it won't replace the original apk incase issues we can alway replace the original apk back to system)
3. Open Googlecamera.apk on your computer with zip software you should see a list of file and folders, open "res/raw" folder you will see few files, search for following 2 files "hdr_plus_capture_done.ogg" "hdr_plus_capture_start.ogg" what you have to do is create a empty file on your computer and rename as this two file name with the same file format. After created the empty file just drag it to the apk file that we open with the zip software. When it done you should see two file with 0 byte.
4. Copy the modified Googlecamera.apk back to the sdcard partition location. disconnect the phone from your computer.
5. Launch the root explorer on your phone and copy and paste the modified Googlecamera.apk back to /system/app/ also please remember to change the file permission to rw-r-r. open the apk and click install (it will end up Not installed)
6. Reboot the phone and open the camera app and test shot with HDR+ mode it should be silent now.
Enjoy.

Tried this; when I try and install the apk I get "X App not installed"
that is normal cause all the system app will not installed they are boot loaded. Actually I tested even you not install just go for reboot it will work too
It works perfect with Cataclysm 4.4.2 :good:
Can someone upload the modified camera apk ?

Thank you, but i don't have the skill to do this.
Many of you know that for some legal stupid reasons you cannot disable the shutter sound on your camera (on galaxy s2 you can do that by putting your phone on silent mode).
Anyway, here's how to do it:
You have two options, one where you must work with a file manager and your favourite DB editor on your PC, and one where you can use any DB editor on the Play Store and do it manually directly on your phone.
WARNING: Your phone must be ROOTED in order to pull files from the system folder.
Here's the explanation on how to edit Volume.db with a file manager and a db editor on PC:
1. Download SQLite Database Browser (download link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/ )
2. Get a file manager (I have root explorer on my phone) on your phone that can access system folder on your internal sdcard.
3. With the file manager, go to system\etc and copy Volume.db to your sdcard or external sdcard.
4. Move the Volume.db from your phone to your PC and open it with SQLite Database Browser which you just downloaded.
5. Browse to the tab "Browse data" and modify SHUTTER 1, AUTOFOCUS, CAMCORDING, SHUTTER 2, SHUTTER 3 values to 0.
If you don't know how, here's a picture: http://i.imgur.com/K9L9xui.png
6. Save the file Volume.db, put it back on your sdcard on the phone and with the file manager replace the original Volume.db in system\etc.
7. Restart your phone (this is important).
Bonus: You can also put 0 value to BOOT SOUND and you won't hear that stupid sound play when you turn on your phone.

Hey guy we can directly MUTE the camera shutter by simply changing our profile to silent. BTW It feels good that people have started development for our S II PLUS. KEEP IT UP:good:
Well, I did that and it didn't work. The sound was still there even if I set my profile on vibrate or mute.

1. Open your favorite file manager ( eg: es file explorer)
2.Find the specific folder (or album) that you want to be hidden from your android phone’s gallery.
3.Tap rename and put a .(dot) in front of the folder name (with no spaces).( eg: .video )
4.Press OK and done.
Your album or folder is now hidden and will not show up on your gallery. To show it up again, simply remove that dot to make it back to normal.
You can view the hidden files in the file manager, make sure to check the ‘Show hidden files’ in the settings menu.
place '.nomedia' file in a folder
1. If u want to hide media in a specific folder without adding "." at starting of the name of folder, copy '.nomedia' file from anywhere from sd card or internal storage and place it in the required folder. Folder will be visible in filemanager, but the media will not be shown in gallery or music player.. :laugh:
2. '.nomedia' file can be found in following locations
1. android>data
2. whatspp>media>images (or any other folder in media)> sent
