[Q] How to remove the video-shutter beep

Hi
It's easy to remove the shuttersound from the still-camera, but not the "beep-beep" sound from the video-start event.
Does anyone know how to remove this sound?

lol - I misread your post sorry.

I have a same problem.
I tried deleting /system/media/audio/ui/VideoRecord.ogg but it didn't help. Also made a silent file of that but no help.

No, I think it's in camera.apk/res/raw/
Edit: try replacing them with attenuated files with the same bitrate...
Edit 2: and stop using your video camera in the changing rooms!
Edit 3: no chance of that suggestion above working, they've gone to a lot of effort to enforce the video camera sounds! The .wav files have an associated hash key that is verified every time the camera starts. If the file fails verification the camera fc's.

Miracle V4 sounds recorder problem.

I have flashed Miracle v4 for my phone.
Following the tutorial, i was able to get stuff like camera and calculator works.
But was unable to get sound recorder to work, it force closes everytime i press 'start recording'.
Any help ? Thanks in advance.

There now is a fix for it. Read the first few posts in the original Miracle V4 thread you should find the solution there!!

Thanks.
I read thru the first few posts again.
If you are talking about the tutorial which is this :
TUTORIAL 5: Recover System Apps than have been removed from V3
-- Place your desired app or apps on your sd-card
-- Use Root Explorer and copy them
-- Go to system\app and press the Mount R/W button on right top
-- Paste the app or apps you have selected
-- Long press what have you just pasted and set permissions to rw-r--r-- for each app
-- Reboot phone
Yes, i followed this. Was able to recover apps like camera. But sounds recording doesn't work.
If i misses out something, can you help me with pointing me to the particular fix for it ? I've done searching, and no people seems to be asking about sound recorder.
Thanks

Just download the latest version. It has a the video recording fix, BLN fix and 30volume step
Recording sound for me works perfectly, no FCs.

no it's not about that, it's something to do with video recording as well. There is a fix there I managed to sort the problem out myself. Alternatively you could redownload v4, the dev has now updated the original rom with the fix's added.

My video recording is working after changing the "true false" code stuff (not sure what it is called)
However the sound recording doesnt work.
I guess i will just do a reflash.
But an extra question, if i do a reflash, do I have to re backup all my apps and data ? Or i can just reflash without going to factory reset, dalvik wiping etc ?
Thanks

You can just flash over the top but you might have to reinstall some of you stock apps ie sms, music, gallery ect..

Thanks guys. I reflashed and it is working now.

My sound recorder works but in 3gp format. Is there a way to make it mp3 or whatever format?

[Q] Disable shutter sound O4X.

I want to buy Optimus 4x.
But I want to disable completely the shutter sound when taking photos. I found a thread here that can make it happen.
I just want to ask if it is necessary to root it first, Can I disable the camera shutter sound without rooting it?
And if it is necessary to root it, is it quite easy? Cause it took me 2 days+ to root my Sensation XE.
Thank you very much!

The Optimus 4X in some parts of Europe have a firmware version v10f that allows you to turn it off without root.
Rooting the 4X is quite easy though. Takes at most 15 minutes
Made possible by my sexy LG Optimus 4X HD (P880)

pretrlending goesnh
I just saw one in a shop, that was free to use it for a while.
But no shutter off button,(Greece, EU) it had 4 different sounds to chose from.
Can I do the camera shutter trick that is discussed on the Android developement section without rooting?
Or is it only possible by rooting first, then doing that trick?
Can someone confirm that?
It will be a total waist of time and money if this isn't possible...

Basicaly, you'll change the camera.apk for another one soo, I think you'll need root.

Yeah,
But root explorer works on any phone, rooted or not.
I can use RootExplorer without restrictions on my unrooted Xperia S, and I can rename *.apk files normally.
So why do I have to root it?
I am very confused...

Can you also rename those in /system/apk? Because for that you normally need root.

There is an option to turn off shutter sound in my 4x
-Tone 1 - Tone 2 - Tone 3 - Tone 4 - Off -
These are the options found on my camera settings, Under v10e, non-rooted 4x...

That exists in all versions... the difference is that in the modded app the Tone 4 is "silence"

So if I update it officially without root, I can choose "off" in the shutter/af sound option?

If you don't mind downgrading a little to v10e (Asian version) you'll be able to mute camera while also still got voice-activated shutter.

I don't think soo... to be honest, as my phone restarts from the root, first thing I do is freeze/uninstall apps and change settings soo, when I go to the camera the one that I have is already the modded...
You can try, nothing to loose

What do I need to install the modded camera app?
Do I need to root and use RootExplorer, or do I need ALSO deodexed ROM etc?!

OK, phone need to be rooted.
My way:
Install "Root.Uninstaller.PRO.3.01" and "AntTek.Explorer.PRO.3.1.4", open Uninstaller Pro and select the camera, in options select "data directory", Antek will open in "com.lge.camera. Go one the up directory "data" and delete that folder (com.lge.camera). Hit the "back" button untill you close AntTek Explorer. RU will appear again, now choose "app directory", AntTek will open in "app" with the file "com.lge.camera-1.apk", delete it. Go back again untill AntTek closes and you'll still have RU open... choose uninstall.
Reboot the phone after uninstall, after that you can install the modded version and reboot again.
Looks complicated in words but you'll see that its not
The icon and all the rest will be like the stock camera, only the Tone 4 changes.

You can download 3rd party app like camera JB+ that has the option to disable the shutter sound.

[MAGISK]Extra volume steps

A very simple module to modify number of volume steps. Very handy for anyone who finds the default volume control too steep (e.g. level 7 is too quiet and 8 too loud).
It also removes the safety "too loud" nagging message.
Using Magisk 19+ template, so should be good for a while.
Code:
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=14
ro.config.media_vol_steps=40
audio.safemedia.bypass=true

Awesome. Going to try it.

Is a way to change vol. steps in setedit.apk ?
I think the lower volume is to loud ... For my wife when she is trying to sleep and I playing Clash royale

I don't think that's possible. Audio service reads the number of volume steps from build.prop file.
However you can easily decrease (or increase) the overal volume without root with eqfy equalizer app - just use the first slider (pre-amp). One of the free apps might achieve the same, but IMHO the eqfy is worth the money, probably the best quality equalizer app available.

Nice, but... Is possible do it for notification sound?

Probably, install the module and try adding these lines in /data/adb/modules/VolumeStepsTweaks/system.prop:
alarm:
Code:
ro.config.alarm_vol_steps=xx
system (ringer/notification?)
Code:
ro.config.system_vol_steps=xx
Replace xx with desired number of steps.
And reboot the phone.
Let us know the result

After further digging in the source code - we need to change "stream.ring" values, but it can't be done with ro.config prop unfortunately. Only alarm/media/in_call can be modified this way.

I am not aware of any module for recent phones. Modification of mixer paths xml would change the SW gain only anyway, most probably in the very same way as the Eqfy does.

But where can I find the file1 To modify, it is much simpler and cleaner without using third-party applications, if possible you could create a magisk module, if only you knew where to start

There are several mixer xml files now, it's not clear which one exactly is responsible for headphones gain. It's not "much simpler and cleaner" anymore (as you can see, so far no one bothered or succeeded). But of course no one stops you to edit these files - they are located in /vendor/etc. Hint - do not edit them directly as dm-verity kernel feature will correct these "errors", you need to create Magisk module.

You must navigate to the file system root, not internal SD as you're doing now.View attachment 4998871

Ok, found it,
it's strange,the steps are there, but the real sound level does not seems to match the new steps, but the old ones.
I mean,The cursor has 40 steps now and i can choose the 7th step, but the sound level is the same until the 15th (for exemple)

Try to move the volume slider up and down to both extreme values, I noticed with headphone and in call volumes that upon the first change, the system needs to "reset/recalibrate" the exact value for new number of steps. At least that did the trick for me.

You can't record calls in Europe as it is illegal,maybe try changing region to India or somewhere where it is legal.There are apps out there too

Does it have Google Dailer?
Does this option not exists? http://www.gadgetdetail.com/coloros-6-how-to-setup-call-recording/
Could you plz check?
Thnx

Call recording is not present in EU ROM. But I'm pretty sure that it will be there as soon as custom stock ROM is out as I think it's simply a property to enable in some file (needs root).

In case you're still searching, there's a solution for rooted EU roms; I tested it successfully:

It doesn't have Google Dialer. And you can't install it unless you're rooted, because there is no Google Dialer Framework installed. If you are rooted, there is a magisk module that installs Google Dialer Framework, and after that you can install google dialer (but that doesn't have call recording).

I just followed the instructions. If you're rooted, just go to /system/etc/oppoRegionMarkFeatures/ in your file manager. You should see a bunch .xml files with country codes, which apparently turn on/off certain features, but for call recording they're probably not relevant. I copied com.oppo.region mark.EUEX.xml first somewhere safe and opened it with an editor. There's a line that says feature name="oppo.phone.nodisplayrecord". I deleted the line, saved and rebooted. This activates the hidden option. Then go to settings, search for "call recording". You should see "System Apps > Call > Call recording" Activate the option "record all calls" (or "record unknown numbers"), call some number. You should see a green "recording standby" icon in the call wait screen and text changes automatically once it starts recording. Recordings are listed in the "Recorder" app. Voila. Ping me later and I can post the screenshots of the settings screens.

I am using this https://nllapps.com/apps/acr/ and it works. It just has one bummer and that it doesn't save the number of the person you called. So, you have to assign it after a call.

But didn't you replaced the original one with the edited one?
I did it (with TWRP File Manager).
Did you only edited it, without replacing it?
What I did is:
1. Copy the EUEX XML to "internal memory".
2. Edit the copied file removing the whole line (from < to >) and without leaving the blank line.
3. Reboot to TWRP.
4. From TWRP File Manager copy the edited file to origin folder, overwriting the stock XML).
5. Reboot to OS.
As you can see in the screenshot, no more "nodisplayrecord" line and no blank line before "blacklist"line.

Yes. I browsed to the directory and edited the XML file directly using my file manager (I use X-plore but any rooted app should also do).
The copy I made was not for offline-editing purposes, it's a habitual backup just in case
Try editing the file directly. If it doesn't work, you might wanna check if the line is in the other XML files in the same folder. Maybe there is a country-specific XML file.
ps: I'm on 11_A.08, EU version.
