I'm trying to silence the quick-launch (launch by holding down the camera button) on the camera. I figure the easiest way would be just to delete/rename the sound file, but it doesn't seem to be anywhere you would think it should be.
Does anyone know the location of this sound file, or an alternate way to disable the sound of the camera quick launching?

Camera Shutter/Volume Rocker Mod
(and Search softkey)
This is a low-level mod for now that effects the assignment globally!
Ok guys, this is something I have been wanting to get around to for a while.
Making the volume rocker act as camera shutter button. (or search softkey)
For me, it has always been a pain to try and reach around the screen and tap just the right spot in the stock camera app to snap off a shot.
There is a setting in many of the included Tweak apps to make the volume rocker act as the camera shutter, but this has never worked on our device and has yet to be implemented on any Thunderbolt rom I have come across.
So, while I look further into making this work the way I would prefer, I am posting these low-level mods for now.
Meaning, I want to make the volume rocker function as normal while camera is not in use and only be the shutter button when camera is active. This is gonna take me a little bit longer to accomplish through the editing of the camera.apk smali files. I do have a decent start on it, but nothing I would post as of yet.
With all of that said, here is my simple mod for now.
****THIS WILL DISABLE THE VOLUME UP OR DOWN ROCKER FUNCTION,
DEPENDING ON WHICH MOD YOU FLASH!!
SO TO ADJUST THE VOLUME TAP THE VOLUME UP OR DOWN,
WHICHEVER ONE YOU DID NOT CHANGE, THEN JUST ADJUST THE VOLUME WITH THE ON SCREEN SLIDER BAR.
You may prefer the volume up mod. As most people are more in a hurry to adjust the volume down, then they are to turn it up.
If this mod doesn't suit you, due to the disabling of one option or another, I understand.
But there may be those who are willing to sacrifice up or down, or the search button to be able to have a dedicated button for snapping shots.
THIS ZIP WILL REPLACE THE VOLUME UP WITH CAMERA
LONG PRESS TO START CAMERA APP, THEN TAP TO TAKE PICS OR START RECORDING VIDEO
THIS ZIP WILL REPLACE THE VOLUME DOWN WITH CAMERA
LONG PRESS TO START CAMERA APP, THEN TAP TO TAKE PICS OR START RECORDING VIDEO
THIS ZIP WILL REPLACE THE SEARCH SOFTKEY WITH CAMERA
LONG PRESS TO START CAMERA APP, THEN TAP TO TAKE PICS OR START RECORDING VIDEO
THIS ZIP WILL RESTORE YOU BACK TO STOCK
IF YOU DECIDE YOU DON'T LIKE IT
INSTALL:
Just flash the zip for desired mod in Recovery and reboot.
User feedback is always welcome!!...............and maybe a Thanks if you decide to use it
Updated all .zip files
UPDATED ALL .zips and tested!
All should be working as intended and full flashable now, sorry for any confusion!
I can't seem to download the mod

The links were working just fine.
It appears as though the file host decided to go down right after.
All links updated to my Dropbox, since the DevHost went down.
Should all be good to go, once again!
Thank you for this!!!!

You're most welcome.
Not sure why we didn't have this or something better sooner for the stock camera on our Thunderbolts..
I much prefer a dedicated button for it.
Glad you find it of use as well and thanks for leaving a response.
Is there a way to change what the camera shutter button does?
I'd like it to launch my music app rather than launch the camera.
Cheers
That would be an interesting option, I use some PTT apps and I always have dreamed about a customizable button.
I found that:
key 212 CAMERA
You can find it on
/system/usr/layout/Generic.kl
/system/usr/layout/gpio-keys.kl
/system/usr/layout/KEYPAD.kl
/system/usr/layout/mrst_keypad.kl
Is it possible to have the physical shutter button launch a different camera app? My particular phone is rooted, if that helps make this possible...
I swear the stock camera app never gets a picture in focus, but others do just fine.
Currently there's no way of changing the mapping of the physical buttons found on the phone
I was able to get this mostly working with the Tasker app.
The "Camera Button" is one of the built in Profile actions. I just linked that to a Task which launches a different camera app. This works fine as long as the stock Sony camera app is frozen/disabled.
The only limitation is that unlike the default behaviour, it does not work when the phone is locked. With the stock camera app disabled, the camera button has no effect when the phone is locked. I'm not sure if this is a limitation of Tasker or something else. I'll keep poking at it....
Hi,
I'd like to implement a camera shortcut other than the stock one with the volume rocker, as that is really awkward when trying to adjust volume.
On LineageOS and stock Samsung S7 software, you can set double press home to launch the camera. On most android phones you can use a double press of the power button.
Can either of these things be activated on the P20 Pro through and app or module?
I really miss that feature.
A workaround would be using for example "Edge Gesture" . You can configure different gestures on the edges to open up the Camera App or any other App. For example whenever I hold the right display edge for 1s, it will open up the camera.
I would also be interested in a solution involving physical buttons. But at least you won't miss the shot so easily anymore.
Hi,
I'd like to have a shortcut on my homescreen to e.g. pro-mode and monochrome. Alas, when long-pressing the camera app symbol, it only gives me choices I don't want. Is there any way to get other camera modes as shortcuts apart from those?
greetings
Hello,
Is it possible to change the 2 second timer to instantly take a picture?
I think its really annoying and don't want to switch to gcam.
Its possible under camera settings: Volume Button Function !
I cant select it. There are only 4 Options.
Countdown. Volume, shutter and Zoom
