This is the post.
HOWTO: Disable Camera Sound (completely silent)
Without deleting anything.
Edit: As pointed out by nickbarbs, after you have completed one of the below methods, the Camera sound is controlled via "System Sounds". If you turn up, down, or off the "System Sounds", the Camera sound would be changed respectively.
This means that you can now control the camera sound at will via volume control functions.
METHOD 1
1. Create a file called "local.prop" in /data/ if it doesn't exist. Example: "/data/local.prop"
2. Open the file "/data/local.prop"
3. add the line to the file:
Code:
ro.camera.sound.forced=0
4. Reboot and all sound in the camera app is completely silent.
5. To recover the sound, you can either delete the local.prop file or change the code to:
Code:
ro.camera.sound.forced=1
I have even downoaded a spycamera to see if that had no sound and it still has sound. help please
thanks

The actual cam sound is located in system/media/audio/ui/
In the SGSII camera app look for an option to turn off sound or shutter sound. Use a root manager to delete the file.
The file in the folder stated about should be something along the lines of _shutter delete that then reboot. Or alternatively, head over to the SGSII forum and search for an author named Potatoman who has already made a silent Camera mod. It makes it easier than doing it yourself.
Hope this helped
There is a simpler way - all credits go to Potatoman:
Go to this thread which has an improved version of the camera:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104051
There is a silent version which will disable all camera sounds (no matter what are your sound setting on your device).

hi,
As we all Know Burst mode sometimes does way better Pictures, which results in us taking pictures in Burst mode instead of Normal mode.
This end ins the picture being safed in sdcard/DCIM/XPERIA/BURST/Subfolder.
So somehow it should be possible with a script or a special app to check out everytime a picture is made in burst mode and if there is only one picture in the folder, to move the picture to DCIM/100Andro folder and rename it suitable to the latest DSC_000x.jpg
Sadly my knowledge in scripting is limited to Autoit. But i'm sure there is a way to do this.
Anyone has an idea how this could work ?
Hi
I use my Samsung Galaxy S4 that is stock and rooted with stick mount, an on the go USB cable and a USB compact flash reader to read compact flash memory to retrieve pictures from my trail cameras.
I load the photos from the compact flash to the external SD card of my device my device using My files and view the pictures using My Files
After copying the files to my SD card I can view the pictures one at a time just fine after loading.
When I select a picture Android asks me what app I want to use I always choose the Gallery
(note:I have tried other apps with swipe view capability of photos but it doesn't change things)
If I use My Files long enough it will start working the way I want/expect.
What I want/expect is to have a swipe view (sometimes there can be hundreds of photos of the same deer standing in front of the camera eating for hours, it can be a squirrel or a rabbit or just the wind moving some bushes so I want to quickly find some more interesting shots ) i.e. to be able to touch outside the frame of the picture and get a swipe view.
When I have the swipe view, I can swipe the current photo and got to the next photo or at the bottom have a list of little pictures I can scroll through to quickly and select the photo that interest me.
I beat and curse and thrash around to try to get swipe view enabled but I have never been able to make it work by actually doing anything but a few hours later it magically it seems to work as one would expect i.e. I use My files to open a picture (it then calls Gallery) and by touching outside the frame enables swipe view i.e. by swiping a photo to go to the previous or the next photo in the directory or scroll a list of little pictures at the bottom of the screen.
Can someone please help me to make this work out of the gate and not have to wait on the "magic" to happen?
A little background
My resident smart guy/employee/IT guy says that it must be building an index to create the swipe view, now this makes sense but sometimes I only have three photos.
I can understand it might take a while to build and index for hundreds of photos but for three pictures???
So if this is the case the build index must be scheduled to run periodically.
If I knew what needed to happen I could write a program that would force the build of an index.
A little more more background
Android version 4.2.2 (I would update but I've heard that it would/could unroot my device and not allow me to re-root (I don't want to re-root either)
Forget about taking screenshot of every favorite posts , now you can save those posts to your phone with just a few clicks .
How to use InstaSave ?
step 1) Goto instagram and choose your favorite photo
step 2) Click on the copy share link button
step 3) Open instaSave
step 4) Click on the paste button
The photo will be then previewed and then you can click on save photo button to save the photo to your device.
Important : Do not re upload the downloaded photos without the permission from respective copyright owners if any.

I love taking portrait photos on Google Camera app. But non-Pixel users like me can only use the modded version of Google Camera and one major annoyance is that it takes portrait photos only in burst mode. You then need to open gallery, find the sub-folder which it created for burst mode, copy the portrait image and delete the rest. And you have to do this every time you take a portrait photo.
With GCam Tool, all this happens in the background. After you take a photo with Google Camera, you will find it in your camera roll when you open Gallery. You can:
Choose source and destination folders
Move portrait or regular or both photos
Delete sub-folders created by Google Camera every time
By default the app copies photos to your photo gallery. If you buy the $1 upgrade, it also deletes the files and sub-folders (thereby actually moving the photos instead of copying).
Your upgrade will help an indie developer like me survive. Please spread the word and let me know your thoughts.

I will this app could move photos from the default internal storage folder used by gcam to a folder in the external SD card!
@Apptuners
really good app, does exactly what it promises. As this was something I was looking for since quite some time now, I purchased the Pro version. Keep up the good work :good:
Thank you very much for the support, Portgas D. Ace.
I just pushed an update (1.02) that adds manual batch moving feature. If you don't want the app to monitor in the background, you could just open the app once in a while, click the Batch Move option and move all files in one go to the chosen target folder.
if the possibility also to port folders with DNG(RAW) format?, because GCam also creates a separate folder

Whenever I try to move any images from internal to SD Card, it moves zero images. I have also sent out an email to the support. I'm using Galaxy S8 btw.

I believe the app already does that now.

I think I just replied to your email. I am posting it here as well.
The app only moves (for now) images taken in Portrait Mode. Could you please try and let me know?

This is what i was looking for from many days... thankyou so much..it works great
Hi Dev. Great work! I've been looking for that for a long time. Any chance this will work with regular (non portrait) photos? It will be great to be able to automatically move photos to sd card... A suggestion: is it doable to have an option to rename the file to whatever pattern you want before moving it? This way it could match other photos names in the gallery. Thanks again for the very useful app!
Good and helpful app and I would like to support your work.
But how do I buy the pro version?
Clicking on "upgrade" button brings up a window and then clicking on "Upgrade to pro" does nothing..?
Great app! But every reboot I'm getting a notification. Tapping on it just opens the app and then when I open the settings and back out the notification goes away. Any ideas why?
I think I'm doing something wrong because this app isn't working for me. I have the photo storage paths set, and have the option checked for it to delete sub folders. But none of the photos ever move and they stay in the burst folders.
Sorry to be that guy, but could you provide a step by step for me, or point out some kikind of error I may be making?
Thanks for your hard work. This app will be fantastic once I get it working because those burst folders drive me nuts.
Edit: maybe I'm misunderstanding part of what this app does. I went into my gallery app and the photos are all there and not in any sub folders, but when I go to my pictures through the google camera app they are still in the burst folders.
I have some issue with moving non-portrait photo into another folder. As soon as the non-portrait photo is moved. The original portrait photo is gone. I no longer see it from my camera folder and cannot see it from Google Photo.
Even worse, I did the batch moving and now all my portrait photos are gone. Is this the right behavior?
same thing with the restarts , nokia 7 plus here
Are you aware your app is no more on the store? It was the life and I even bought the pro version :c

How do you manage to copy the portrait only photo to DCIM/Camera. delete the original folder and (non portrait) photo and still have google photos backup the moved photo normally?
When I do this manually with a script, google photos doesn't beackup the portrait photo and it still shows a burst of two photos, the portrait and the non portrait, with this one showing only a grey thumbnail, and it never back ups.
Can you shed some light? Do you change anything in the EXIF of the moved portrait photo?

No I don't modify EXIF for "photo move" feature. EXIF is modified only when selfie flipping is prevented.
As for how GCam Tool manages to do it, I believe it is all about speed. If the photos and subfolders stay long enough in the source folder, Google Photos will back up it. I don't know how fast your script is, but when you take a photo with Google Camera, GCam Tool instantly jumps into action, moves the required files and deletes the unwanted ones (and sub-folders). It all happens in like 3-4 seconds and sometimes more depending on how long it takes on your phone for Google Camera to do the HDR+ processing and save the files.
Also once the move is done, GCam Tool rebuilds the thumbnail gallery and runs MediaScanner as well to notify the system regarding file move, which could be another reason. And most people have DCIM/Camera as their target folder, which is already being monitored by Google Photos. So as soon as GCam Tool moves the files into DCIM/Camera, Google Photos backups it.
