[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)

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.

Camera problem

I flashed Rom 133 Vodafone-DE and rooted and deodexed and superuser mod installed, and also flashed the 4K and Timeshift Video
My main problem is with super camera app which contains 4K and Timeshift Video, because I neither can use the manual mode and settings Manual and setti Auto mode, nor 4K and Timeshift Video
Now I'm on a trip and do not have access to PC
How can I delete this app with its whole files?
I found its .apk file and remov it, but the prob did not solved
Plz help me! I need taking pics in Manual mode,and by the way, I even can not change the flash from auto to ?
Sorry for my bad English and explanation
And again sorry for the long text

Root Explorer or ES file Manager
then u can find all installed app and uninstall (even system apps)
:good:

Sony did not have this problem on rom

I think it has some perhaps:
1) the 15 and 20 mega pixels can not work with rom 133
2)the mode above has problem with deodexed rom in 133
3)or even maybe 4K and Timeshift Video app has prob with 133 (that I don't think)

yep

Strange its working 100% but my device is not running marshmallow something similar happened during testing where libs stayed the same even after replacing them will try and delete before copying over new ones think it's something to do with the root binary.
But I will attach the libs to whoever wants to copy them manually while I get that sorted
Extract the zip copy the file to system/vendor/lib/ delete or rename the stock lib by adding .bak to the end of the file name then copy it over set permission to rw-r-r

Did you give the app SD card access ?
it stores the temp lib in sdcard/Libchanger/ I also just remembered the 6p vendor is another partition and not part of /system so try /vendor/lib/ path
It should work on all MM ROMs these lib stays pretty much the same

Works!! Been waiting for something like this since the launch of this phone! One question: is it possible to make this mod work on different camera apps (for example: google camera)?

Hmm weird but I can workaround it so freedcam outputs 720p at 240fps .
Or try copy stock lib then in Google Camera select 240fps exit copy back modded lib and try reopen Google camera see if it crashes .
Third possible option is to trick it into thinking 60fps is actually 120fps so when it looks for it no crash happens

Here is a log of the crash.

Also want to say that if I use the 5:4 lib Google camera does not crash but I don't have the 120/240 option

Right that lib was capped to 120fps but actually outputted at 240fps .
Attached lib with the same cap in freedcam select 720pHFR it will record at actual 240fps which you can slow down in post.

I do not understand how you want to explain a simple step by step. I try to follow the steps you teach. It has not been a resolution of 1080p 60fps.

[ROOT] Video stabilization

Use file explorer with root previlages.
1. Go to: /system/product/etc/prop/
2. Open local.prop
3. Find persist.hw_camera.video_sta=false and change to true
4. Camera app -> video -> setting and find stabilization

does this phone even have hardware stabilization?

Dunno. IMO it's working for fine shakes

With my version, VNS-L31 C432B370, this option was there from the beginning. I dont need to activate it with root.

Yeah, I can confirm that I have this on VNS-L31C02B329 as well. Perhaps this was added in Nougat?

Nope. I had this option in MM to.

[MOD][CUSTOM-ROM][ROOT] Use B/W Sensor on third party cameras

Hi everyone!
Since a lot of users that use custom roms usually miss the use of the secondary camera on Mi5SP (the Black&White sensor) i'll write here a guide to enable it on most third party cameras (GCamera excluded)
As you may already know it does work on Snapdragon camera, but i never use it because it's an old version and it's so buggy (when press to focus you can't shoot).
ok, enough talk, here's what to do:
Pick the camera of your choice, i find the best use with FreeDCam or OpenCamera
Open the info about the app from the app list to copy its package name (for example, OpenCamera: net.sourceforge.opencamera ; FreeDCamera: troop.com.freedcam )
Using a root file manager open build.prop (on Pie and some recent Oreo roms it will be /vendor/build.prop , /system/build.prop otherwise)
Find the string
Code:
vendor.camera.aux.packagelist
(or add it at the end of the file) and append
Code:
,[package-name]
(eg. for opencamera will be
Code:
[COLOR="red"]vendor.camera.aux.packagelist=[/COLOR]other.snap.cameras[COLOR="red"],net.sourceforge.opencamera[/COLOR]
)
Save the file and reboot
Voilà! Open up your camera and upon switching between cameras now includes the secondary sensor!
Hope you'll find it useful, remember that you'll need to add this line every update of the rom, i'll may make a magisk module later to make things easier between updates/rom changes.
Cheers! :highfive:

I think it's clear enough... Open it (meaning with a text editor of course, we're going to add some code here) and just search for the string vendor.camera.aux.packagelist. If you can't find it, add it to the end of the file.
Then just write any camera package name according to the guide, if you want to use one of the two mentioned use the packages provided.
If you want it plain and simple, copy and paste:
Code:
vendor.camera.aux.packagelist=org.codeaurora.snapcam,com.android.camera,org.lineageos.snap,net.sourceforge.opencamera,troop.com.freedcam
Paste this in your build.prop (and override the existing line if there is any), save and reboot.

Thank you very much

Is there any way to install the MIUI original camera on a custom ROM?
I'm currently using LOS16 and it's much better than stock MIUI.. but I really miss the original camera app with the b/w option..

No, it just enables third party cameras to access the B&W sensor, it will be used as a standalone camera and switchable in the app by pressing the "change camera" button. Can't use both at the same time
