Disabling camera sound? tried but failed

Hi guys,
My Galaxy phone is rooted and I deleted some of the .ogg sound files in the SYSTEM/MEDIA/AUDIO/UI folder, but the camera still makes a clicking sound when taking a photo
Any ideas how to solve this? I want it permanately gone, not just turning down the phone volume
thx

Which ones did you delete and did you restart your phone afterwards? By deleting camera_click and camera_click_short you shouldn't have the sound file anymore so restarting should fix the problem.

Ah, I did delete those, but I still get that "focus beep" how can I get rid of that?

That sound is actually kept inside the APK and you can't remove it without modifying the APK.

You can rename it instead of deleting it in case something goes wrong. The two files should be in system/media/audio/ui 'camera_click.ogg' and camera_focus.ogg'. :victory:

Camera Launch Noise

Anyone know how to turn off the camera launch sound ?
Had a quick look around and can't find any way to do it.
Not talking about the shutter sound, it's the noise that it makes when you press the dedicated camera key to launch the camera app.

So that would be no then?

Maybe you can't do it in the Sony stock ROM, if you've rooted your Z1 though you can probably locate the audio file and delete it, or modify the apk file that calls the audio file and delete the line that actually plays the audio file.

Probably would work but find it incredible that such an intrusive noise like this can't be switch off. Currently the only way to stop it is to turn the volume down on the phone.

I just received my device and I'll have a look for you. I can't provide an easy way to disable the sound though since I'm not that good with smali or whatever. But I can probably locate the audio file and tell you about it. Other than that, wait for the custom roms.

Perhaps it can be replaced by a quieter shorter sound, the current noise is the electronic equivalent of Dom Joly shouting 'I'M USING MY CAMERA'.

Okay I found the audio file for you, didn't do it last night because of other things.
It's located here: /system/app/SemcCameraUI.apk/res/raw/start_up_notifier.wav
I assume you can delete it and you shouldn't have the start up sound anymore. The problem at the moment is that unlocking the bootloader breaks the camera, and I don't feel like breaking my camera to try and see if it works.
Just to be save, make sure you backup your "SemcCameraUI.apk" file before modifying it and if things don't do as planned, put it back.

you dont have to unlock the bootloader to delete that file, root is enough.

That's totally true, but you can't modify the odexed apk file. You first have to deodex it, delete it, then odex it again and see if it works.. speaking of which I can give it a shot. Will report back later!

Is there a way to make the speakers even louder?

I'm rooted and I have tasker. The phone is for an older person who can't see. I'm using tasker to automatically turn the volumes and turn the speakerphone on whenever someone calls but I would still like it to be louder.
Is there any sort of way to do that... like how MX Player seems to be able to up the volume on movies even more than a regular video player at full phone volume?

Deleted.

Change the value in mixer_paths.xml. Google search on how to do it or do speaker gain using a kernel with the capabilities.

I'll look this up. I assume I just need a file manager that supports root access to edit it. I know I've edited some xml files before to do different things but I can't remember the exact app I used. I'm thinking ES File Explorer.

just use viper4android. its the loudest youll be able to get them, and itll raise the quality of sound. there's a thread for it in the apps and themes section. and you will need root.

Well, I think I found the variable I need to adjust and it doesn't seem to be making any difference.
<ctl name="RX7 Digital Volume" value="84" />​
I've set that as high as 168 and it still sounds the same to me. (rebooted too just in case).

I'll check it out. I really didn't want to install an app for it but if it works and doesn't suck down the battery life than I'm game.

it works, battery drain is not noticeable, and sound quality is a HUGE improvement, especially via headphone. after you flash it(or install into /system/priv-app/) open it and itll ask to install the driver, press yes. after installing the driver(i pick highest quality) youll have to reboot for it to take effect. after you boot up, open the app and look at its options(press the top right), pick ui setting then pick expert. itll give you more choices for you to set up

Is there anyway to get rid of it completely after installed? I granted it access to root to install the driver and after rebooting. "Ok, Google" doesn't work anymore. It just shows on the screen "Can't open microphone."
I want the phone to be extra loud but not at the expense of the Google Now voice commands no longer working.

my ik google works fine, and with the screen off and not plugged in as well.
you might have to install a selinux mode changer app as well, i think it needs it on the n6. if no more selunux mode changer apps available in the play store anymore(new rule), there are a few kernels that set it as permissive.

Viper was a bust for me (at least from a new user perspective). I uninstalled the driver and uninstalled the app and the Mic is still broken. "Can't open microphone." on every voice command or even tapping the mic icon on the Google Now bar.
It looks like I get to reset to factory defaults.

you tried rebooting? also, try retraining it to your voice(long press any empty space on the homescreen, press settings, press voice, ok google detection, delete voice model).

Disable Shutter sound?

Hey,
I had to buy a new phone (P10 VTR-L29) in Japan and I have an japanese SIM card. Japanese phones and SIM cards always make the shutter sound. By rooting my phone and by flashing a magisk module, I could delete the shutter sound for whatsapp and other apps. But the stock camera still makes the sound. Is there a way to disable it? There is no option in the camera app to turn off the shutter sound.
Thanks!

Go to settings o f the camera app then scroll down find the mute settig then enable it.

Like I already said: "There is no option in the camera app to turn off the shutter sound."

There should be mute in the settings (drag from right in camera app).
I haven't yet rooted this phone so can't be sure but there should be somewhere in "system/media/audio/ui" to find the camera .ogg files and either rename so you can easily put them back or delete. I would just rename to play safe camera_click.ogg.backup or something (for all camera sounds).
Obviously remember to backup before fiddling in /system

In the attachments is a screenshot of my settings.
I also replaced the system/media/audio/ui files by flashing a magisk module. It worked to some extent. Snapchat, whatsapp and so on won't make a sound, but the stock camera app still makes a sound.
So I am guessing that Huawei hardcoded this setting into the stock camera app if you bought it in Japan.
Maybe someone can extract their stock camera app so I can install it on my phone?

Don't think I am using any different font, I am using Text style default but theme Skyline and Oreo Emoji.

I wouldn't imagine be hardcoded into apk. If you are rooted there is no reason I can see you not being able to turn it off. I would try changing all the sounds off manually rather than through module in case is slightly different names or something, only verified working for Lineage.
Also I think you can change the camera names in build.prop
As I say I haven't rooted this so can't be sure where it is, what it's called or indeed even if there is something there.

how to remove N950N Camera shutter sound?

Hi everyone, I'm using a note 8 N950N here and the camera don't have the option to remove the shutter sound, with root i am able to remove the shutter sound by removing the shutter.ogg from system/media/ui/shutter.ogg but for camcorder start,stop and multiple shutter it is still having sound,
Here are few things that i had tried,
1) remove shutter_multiple.ogg, camcorder_start.ogg,camcorder_stop.ogg
2) add in <CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu> in csc but still dont have the option to disable it.
Is there anything I'm missing here? is it possible that the shutter sound location for N950N is different compare to other version, if yes what could be the correct path?
Thanks

There is already a thread about this. Next time please search.

Hi, I am aware of the thread but the solution inside can't help me, or can u enlight me is there any solution in there that was overlooked by me? I open a different thread because my device is rooted while that thread the op obviously doesn't have a rooted device thus I'm expecting some different answer compare to that.

If you are rooted you can either flash a different CSC, or just delete the sound file.

Hmm. That is strange. Mine has the option to turn off the shutter sound in the options menu through the camera app.

Before I had the toggle I removed the shutter ound file but I never throught to remove the sounds for video & bursts shots. On my F they are not named camcorder, they are cam_start & cam_stop. With the toggle, all the sounds are turned off.
Where & which xml file are you adding the csc feature line to?
