Mute camera Shutter Sound on Int. variants w/o the option in Menu [Rooted & Unrooted]
Hi,
if you have like me a N920G or other international variant of the Note 5 and can´t deactivate the Shutter Sound in the camera because the option isn't on the camera menu, you have two options.
Unrooted
install the app called "silent cam switch" . It allows you to use the stock camera app and it automatically switches your phone to silent when you activate the camera. The only issue I have is most of the time after you close the camera app it's supposed to turn your volume back to where you had it, but it never does so you have to manually turn the volume back up.
Rooted
Browse to /System/media/audio and rename Shuttering.ogg and Shutter_multiple.ogg. just add .bak after the .ogg extension and voilaa
This is the most effective metod, since i've try xposed module, and it doesnt wotk for me, but it do work for others.
I publish this small guide, because its different that the one for the Note 4, since the file has another name and its somewhere else.
This is a magisk module to turn off camera & video shutter sound while taking photo or recording video. Works with magisk v14.0+
Tested with LineageOS 14.1
But should work with all Custom/Stock ROMs
How to activate?
Flash from magisk manager app v5.3+
Or
Flash from custom recovery like TWRP
How to deactivate?
From magisk manager..
Download:
Download from attachments..
Enjoy!

Why would you want to do this?
So that you can take photos of people without them knowing and without their permission?

Because shutter sound is annoying.
Sorry if my question is dumb, but my phone already has no shutter sound when i turn down the volume. How is this different?

That's turning off of all voice/noise(DND or silent) from your phone while this module selectively disables shutter sounds irrespective of DND or no DND.
Thanks.
Some countries like South Korea make it necessary for phones to make loud shutter sounds, regardless of DND or sound settings. It's quite annoying having to go delete system files every update. Thanks again!
For those of us with the unlocked Note 9, and have noticed that there is no option to turn off camera shutter sound, there is an easy way. Using Good Lock 2018 with the Routines plugin you can set the camera app to launch with system sound at 0. That super loud clack sound had to go. I believe you can also use the Sound Assistant to set individual app sound levels which would permanently set camera to system sound 0 also. Just an FYI.

This is a great idea! How do you automatically change the volume setting back to how it was or on once done with the camera app?

If you use the Routines plugin in Good Lock 2018 it will switch to no system volume then immediately back. It's critical that you use either Routines or some other automated system because the alarm won't sound. In Routines click the +, name your routine, click add condition, choose Launch an Application, then click the underline, choose Camera, then click Add Action, choose Sound Mode, then click the underline, then you can choose volume levels for all sound types(Media, Notification, System, and Ringtone. System is the one you set to 0. Then save and it will switch to 0 then back every time you use the camera.

And why would you want to do this: making a picture without the "clicking"-sound?
Upskirt and stalker pictures with ninja stealth. Joking aside, it is annoying. It is like skeuomorphistic design but with sound. I can understand the legality I some countries but at least let us change the sound.
You can simply change your volume settings to mute or vibrate, that disables the camera sound temporarily if needed. Just use your volume rocker or select mute/vibrate in your quick toggles.

I did this and my issue is once you exit the app, the Ringtone volume does not revert to previous setting (full volume).
I put together a little app that mutes the camera sounds for my own use if you want to give it a try? Basically, all it does is, when you launch the camera the system sound drops to 0, then when you exit the camera it goes back up to what it was originally set to, much the same as previously mentioned.
Download, install, go to your app drawer and look for Camera muted, click on it once (nothing will launch), this will set your system volume to 0, reset your system volume to what you want. From now on everytime you launch the camera it should automatically do what I mentioned at the beginning.

On a side note, if you want the camera sounds back, just uninstall the app.
padlad, I've tried to check your app, but it doesn't start at all. Also I get no error messages whatsoever. Are you still working on the app? The phone is from a local carrier.
Edit: Also on the "Why in the 1st place? - As a long term DSLR user, this sound is just offensive to the community. They should've thought/asked better prior mimicking it this way.

Try this one, same as above but when you 'click' the app a flash message will pop up. No need to reset your system volume manually. Install, 'click' or 'open' camera mute (you should only need to do it once), then open the stock camera and it should be silent when you use it, If shutter sounds are still present, close the camera app and reopen it, the shutter sounds should now be silent. Good luck :good:

in UK you can't disable sound via settings

Yes, unlocked on Sprint
Thank you but.... the pop-up says says sounds should be disabled, yet the camera app works and sounds as before. Should I reboot after the install?
And I haven't had updates in around a week, but I doubt it that they will remove the sounds from Samsung for the EU. It's about laws, not user preference.
Is your app SoC related? Because mine runs the Exynos.
For now the only good option is to lover or mute the System sounds from the settings menu.

Try opening the camera app again and trying. I've noticed when first installed, and enabled, the camera app still makes the shutter sounds, but when you exit the camera app and then launch it again the shutter sounds are silent (that's for the updated app I posted) .
Yep, still not working. Not after restarting, not after closing and opening app.
If you use Automagic, then this flow seems to work:

If you turn System Volume down, it also disables the shutter sound, and it doesn't effect alarms or ringtones.
How to Turn off shutter sound in Lg v40thinq. Or is there any alternative app to do this. Thanks
Like most all camera apps, there is a setting for sound. Tap the gear/cog (settings) icon.

I noticed the shutter sound is only silenced if I change the sound setting for the device to silent.

I use No Shutter Sound from the Play Store and it works great.

I don't see any mods yet which would remove the camera shutter sound. Also I miss the in-built call recorder option. Can I get them anywhere?

I have no need for a call recorder so I can't help you there but I turn shutter sounds off in camera settings.
You can use Bixby routines to turn off the sound when the camera app is launched. It will disable the shutter sound. When you exit the camera app, the sound will be turned on again.
I guess I'm missing something but why turn off any sounds? Don't all S10 stock cameras have the shutter sound switch in camera settings?

In certain countries laws forbid the shutter sound from being turned off so the phone variants for those countries don't have the option in the camera settings. There are apps that can do it though. My wife has an LG G8 and LG phones don't have a switch to turn it off so she uses No Shutter Sound from the app store and it works great.
