Just got myself a great condition S7 at a knock-down price a few days ago and am currently working through the "rooting > bloatware removal > setting it up just how I want it" stages.
Now I'm trying to find a way to get rid of the shutter sounds on the camera. I'm aware of various ways I could do this with turning off system sounds / creating Automagic [like Tasker but better] Flows, etc to mute system volume when I want to use the camera. But I'm looking for something a bit more direct & permanent.
I read elsewhere here of other people renaming a file called shuttersound.ogg to achieve this, but I've not been able to find this file on my S7 [needless to say, the original poster of this suggestion didn't think it worthwhile to actually say where the file could be found!]
I have however found a few likely candidates in /System/Media/Audio/UI which when I previewed them made the sounds for camera shutter and video recording stop/start. I've renamed these to disable them, as you can see...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But it's not made any difference. My camera is still making shutter and record start/stop noises. I've restarted, in case the sounds were cached while the Camera.app had been running. But still no joy.
Anyone know of any other files which might need taking out the back and shot, so I can enjoy the sound of silence?
And Screen...
I was going to start a new thread for this. But might as well lump it in with previous.
The Samsung Camera also has an annoying "feature" whereby it brightens the screen to what looks like maximum brightness whenever I launch the camera. It's far too bright and I can't see any option to change this behaviour. Is it possible to manually control the brightness of the screen in the camera app?

Hi, guys
I made a program for you which alowed you to turn the backlight to half light.
The back light will be lower than brightness "1"
You will need it when you reading in dark night.
maybe can also save your power.

The program only tested on hp ipaq voice messenger
maybe can also work on other model voice messenger (ipaq 512 514 518)
Thanks a lot for the back light program.
By the way, if anybody has post to you the original rom (1.0.12.332.04) with the bootloader, let us know.
thanks, I will test you, my eyes often burn because of the lightning display.
One question, do you know a way to use the flash led as a light (torch) in the night? It would be great to use with the hardware button.
Unfortunately I do not find a way to:
1- use the lock button to suddenly lock the VM instead of keeping it pressed so long
2- assign lock and hardware button to other functions, for example call the tasks manager
any hint?
seems to work well, but I have a small problem, I copied it in the program files directory, made a shortcut and put in the windows\start menu\application\accessory but I can't see it in the menu, how do you suggest to install the application?
you have to put it in
windows\program files\
and put the shortcut in
windows\start menu\
When I use barcode scanning and macro on photos, my infuse can't focus well Barcodes are ok it can capture the moment that the phone focus at the right place, but for macro photo, it can't get the focus done in 90% of the time.
In the beginning I saw the camera keep changing its focus and then focus on a right point, it didn't stop. It would go across the right point finally blur again ,there are two situations:
1. Stop at red box: can't focus.
2. Focus at a wrong distance.
Please help me, I'm not sure if its a defect or software problem.
Thanks

You might also try focusing on not quite as close as what you're taking a photo of and then snapping the photo of your subject. Sometimes the camera might have a problem with the shadows of what you're trying to take a picture of.
My 7 month old infuse had the same problem. I took it to the local AT&T store, they verified it and called some 800# for me and I received a new phone in 4 days. no charge.
A solution is found!
I understand that this is a super old thread but I suddenly fixed the problem stated above and I remembered my post, expecting this could help a few people.
Setting the camera resolution to 5MP instead of 8MP.
It did work, I hope that it would help people that are still having this problem.
Who has thought of doing this, to fix what great lil ole sammy took away in the updates after kitkat?
Anyone interested, what all is required to make a full dual screen app that would allow us a camera and edge shutter button like in the kitkat firmware, it's crazy af that we have so many app's and camera's but none with or supporting a shutter button on the edge!!
So this is a roll-call for dev's and user's who are interested in bringing it back.

Anybody out there, I thought this was mainly a place of learning? LoL
The same people who brought you this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ehzstudios.quickcamerafornoteedge&hl=en are apparently working on one as they speak:

I've thought about just using the edge camera panel app they made and opening regular camera at the same time to get a preview of what you're shooting and aiming at.
I wonder if this would be of any help in making the camera work on LP and MM

Hi everyone!
First of all, I'd like to apologize in case I'm not posting this in the correct section of the forum.
That being said, let's get into this annoying problem I'm facing:
Recently mi s7 edge got the Oreo update and I decided to upgrade (shouldn't have done it) and here is when the issue started...
The way I like Whatsapp's notifications is the fallowing: no sound, no vibration and no pop up on screen.
The only thing I want is this: A simple icon on the status bar that indicates me every time I have a message

}
I don't want anything else, but what is above!
I have found no configuration to get whatsapp's notificacion the way I want it to be. On android 7.x it was as easy as this:
1: open notification bar
2: keep pressing any whatsapp notification for 2 second and select "importante level 3".
that was it!
Android 8 is way too different... I had to make something up; this is what I do to get it adjusted to the way I like:
importance level: "make sound" (so that it doesn't pop up on screen)
sound: silence (so that it doesn't make any sound)
up until that moment everything works fine, perfectly... BUT, after a period of time (I haven't counted it yet) the configuration I had just done goes away; it resets itself... and here is when I get so upset, feeling like I want to smash the phone and desintegrate it once and for all.
this is how it looks like after configuring it in the way I like:
and this is how it turns out:
Please! If you have anything that you think could help me out with this, leave it down below in a comment. No matter what, an app, an idea, whatever... leave it in a comment.
Thank y'all in advance!!
Does anybody know where i can find the Display size option? i want to make it smaller but i only found the font size.
Like this one in xiaomi devices.

If you're referring to DPI, it's located in Settings\More Settings\Developer options look for Drawing and Minimum Width within Drawing section. You enter your numbers in there. Just remember the phone screen DPI is 388. Never experimented with it but give it a try and let us know. Don't know if the screen with default to an acceptable number if you go overboard with your numbers.

Thanks. thats exactly what i wanted. My default was 360 on Nex S global and i went to 403 and everything seems to be working. The stock camera beauty icon position is abit off but everything is working. No app crashes.
Now i can see more stuff on screen with everything smaller
also im not sure if its a placebo effect but my fingerpring is working better now or maybe im getting the hang of it.
Good to know you can go higher. I'll give it try and see if I get the finger scanner placebo effect too.
