Shutter sound? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is the only way to turn off the shutter volume to turn the ringer volume down?
My pets jump as they hear it and spoil the shoot.

There's a fairly simple way to do this:
Use any root-capable file explorer and browse to:
./system/media/audio/ui
find "camera_click.ogg" and rename it somehow like "camera_click.ogg.off"
Not exactly the best solution, but probably the only one right now, and you can always rename it back to get it working again.

Interesting.... Did not think of that.

[Q] Custom shutdown animations

Does anyone have a custom shutdown animation they would be willing to share or know of a site where I could find one? My google searches haven't turned up anything of quality..
That Verizon shutdown animation is pretty lame. I'd like to replace or remove it as well. I'm sure I can, I just haven't had time to mess around with it.

Check this post out, I am using it for now until something better turns up (meaning it is not the best quality IMO), I suck at this kinda art work, else I'd make my own.

Yep, better than the stoopid VZ one, however still searching for something better myself, besides just had to do it to see if it worked
while it's nothing mind blowing, the quality seems okay for me, and it's FAR better than the lame verizon one.
those verizon animations make me feel like i'm still using my chocolate circa 2006
thanks guys.. I'll give this one a go for now.. anythings better than the awful stock verizon one.
For what its worth I made my own.
Its of my son so none of you would want it but I made it with gimp and just replaced the stock one. Works great.
Weird thing though, when I view the pics in root explorer it shows the verizon pics instead of mine.
Still plays mine but in the file it still looks like the stock pics.

i noticed that as well, i think root explorer just doesn't clear the thumbnail cache for some reason
That messed with me for a while. It wasnt til I shut down for something else I noticed it took.
Must have replaced the file 5 times thinking it didn't work.

Although the stock galaxy s shutdown animation isn't the greatest, I have to say its MUCH better than the stock Verizon one. I'm not going to be around a computer for a while, would someone mind posting a silent shutdown.ogg so we could get rid of the stock shutdown sound straight from the phone? Thanks in advance, guys!

here you go, let me know if it doesn't work.
just rename the file to shutdown.ogg

If you are not near a computer and just wanna disable sounds at start and shutdown give this a try:
Go into the Dialer and enter *#83786633 then press the Home key
Go back into the phone dialer clear out previous number and enter *#22745927
Now a box will come up asking for the SPC code. Enter 000000
Press the Hiddenmenu Enable radio button.
Now you can use these codes.
The dialing code string you have to use is *#<code>#
Audio Tuning
*#28346#
Several audio tuning menus.
I've only tested the two items below:
To silence boot and shutdown audio go to Situation/BOOTSOUND and turn the values to 0. I've tested and confirmed this works.

Thanks so much for the reply man, I replaced the stock file with a silent one (available above), so I didn't actually get to try your suggestion, but I still super appreciate the response

That is rad! did exactly what I wanted to do, and without meddling with any internal files.
What are some other hidden tuning menus?

[Q] Boot animation sound

Hey guys I need some help regarding boot animation sound. I am currently running Andromeda 2.0 which comes with SGS tools. It says that if I place a .wav file in SD/sgtools, that will play during boot up... it is not the case though. Anyone know what i'm doing wrong.
Ps: I've tried putting system volume up before rebooting but that is not the problem...

I think that the file needs to have an .oog extension

.ogg is for shutdown sound I think.

I think you mean .ogg ...Oog is a town in Somalia.
Make sure you have to set the file to play as the startup sound with sgs tools as well, then tap apply. Just putting the file in SD/sgtools and rebooting isn't enough.

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!

[Q] Sound when quick opening camera

Hey guys. stupid question.
If I start the camera by pressing its button or from the lockscreen i hear a stupid loud sound when its ready.
How can i get rid of that?
Greetz
It's a legality thing if I'm not remembering wrong. For the environment to have a chance to react to creeps taking photos when they shouldn't.
I remember it from a thread on SGS3 forum I think. The shutter sound was there even if phone was muted. Only way to stop it was removing the shutter sound file and for that root was needed, or a repackaged firmware.
I think it's a good thing even if it can be annoying for some.

But I don't get this Sound when I just open camera from homescreen and I can deactivate the shutter Sound
Just rename the corresponding wav file then.
Located in:
Code:
/system/media/audio/camera/sound1/
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk
The sound file used in this case is located in the SemcCameraUI.all file, so you can't just delete it I guess. Plus it's odexed, if that makes any difference...

The sound is not in the folder neither it is in any of the folders before. I couldn't find it somewhere but the sound is still really annoying...

not in my folder either...
This is really annoying - I guess rooting is the only way to get rid of this sound?
Find that hard to believe, but if someone could confirm I'd be grateful.

Workarounds:
Put the phone in silent, vibrate, or stick in the headset or connect a Bluetooth headset
If you have xposed framework you can download module that disables this sound

Note 7 How to edit mixerpath Loud Sound

In the note 7 mixerpath the file has changed since the Note 4. Can anyone help on how to edit the file to make the bluetooth louder and the speaker?
The old file from Note 4 does not work due to the changes and I know that you had to change the RX1 & 2 (i believe been tooooo long) lines under speaker. I see RX command a lot so not sure if I or others who want to do the mod have to change each one (there a lot through the file unlike the old file)?
I've searched all over with a file or steps and none found for note 7.

This isn't technically to make it louder but it does exactly that imo and you get dual speaker sound. I did not create this. I can't remember who did or I'd give create.

Download FX Browser and FX Browser Root Add-on from the playstore.
Use FX Browser to navigate to System/etc and then in the upper right corner, touch the menu button and then choose mount read/write.
Afterwards, navigate to System/etc/mixer_paths_tasha.xml.
Touch the edit button in the upper right corner and then touch the edit button. A prompt should come up telling you that you can only save the changes if the file has read/write permission (you should from the first step).
Click on the pencil looking icon and then find. Enter <path name="headset-44.1">. Once you are at that snippet at code, look for "RX1 Digital Volume" value="76" and "RX2 Digital Volume" value="76".
Just change the "76" values to a value you are comfortable with. I use 95, which can get VERY LOUD, so be cautious if your headphones aren't very powerful. After that, reboot and profit!
(BTW, this should work with any Snapdragon 820 device, as I have had two so far (Note 7 and G5), and they both worked fine. You obviously need root for any of this to work.
