[Q] How do I disable the recording sounds

When taking a video with the stock rom the phone plays a sound when starting and ending the recording. It does this even when the phone is set top silent. Is there a way to make it obey my volume settings? If not how can I disable the sounds?
Thanks
Michael

I think you can go to /system/media/ui and delete the audiofiles for camera sounds.
in stock rom I had a setting for disabling sound, are you sure you don't have that?

Hi, I believe that's for picture only and not video...

/system/media/audio/ui/VideoRecord.ogg for video, /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg for pictures

i renamed the audio files to .bak but it still clicks. doesn't work. Should i remove it completely?

I try it too, but no useful.
Because the file is different.
So I am confused how to disable "shutter & AF sounds"
Thanks.

You can't do this easily. AndiCP made a camera mod that is silent, search in app section, but keep a nandroid backup before flashing it, and I don't remember if it is adapted for stock ROM.

Camera.apk has all sounds.
You can mod by yourself or use Andicp's mod.

I'm guessing you need to reboot since the OS might have preloaded the file on its buffer.
All - you do no this sound (pic/vid) is required by law in some countries right?

Music MODs

ok....i was cleaning my system and found two music apps.
one is a Motorola 3D'ish Coverflow one.
and the other is almost 90% apple iOS music player.
thought to share
if there are any bugs, there are. i don't use them. i feel the IOSmusic app was very unstable
check the attachment.
full credits to the original DEVs of the apps.

would be changed in any rom?
thanks!!

Just to make you know, maybe you didn't notice this REAPER1992 but it replace the stock music app (don't worry, the stock stays there but you have to delete this music mod apk to use it again).

I know that many of you wanted to play the game, but couldn't because it wasn't compatible.

EA Free games
I saw in Sony Select that I can install any of the EA games free for 90 days. They are 90 days trial but not demo. I installed NFS most wanted from there directly and didnt saw a problem. I works great.
And free 3 months is already enough for a game

It's illegal I think...and even if anyone wants, it's necessary to locate where the apk was downloaded, since it isn't stored in the "download" folder...

Hiding pictures app like vaulty?

Hello.
I know that kitkat implemented something about only letting the certain app to gain access to the folder it's using or something like that. So applications like vaulty doesn't work anymore. Dunno why they even made it like that. It worked perfect on JB. Why change something wich is working.
But, are there any apps or ways of hiding pics/video and whatever nowadays on Kitkat firmware?

They may not be the kind of pictures he wants to be seen in polite company.....

Well, not a super problem but sometimes i let the kids play some with the phone and they dont need to see everything in there, and their mom agrees with that
Vaulty was really great and easy to use.

If you are rooted you can use Foldermount to fix the sd card limitations in kitkat! And hide it pro(audiomanager) works fine for me! You can also try an multiple user account app!

Does it still work in kitkat to put a file called .nomedia in a folder to keep it from being shown in album and other such apps?

If you put a . before the foldername just like you said .nomedia will hide it from the album yes. Thats what ive used now. But im testing different apps. Applock seems good. Gonna try that foldermount aswell.

Hide It Pro have just a big issue to me, it move the pictures to his folder and is mess up with my stuff, I will prefer the pictures remain where they are.
AppsLock is very good but it missing the option to select single files, it just work for Apps, still good BTW.
