disable/change camera sound? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to disable/change the camera sound on a non-sense rom? The "click" sound gets annoying when taking several pictures.

I think that's part of privacy protection policy employed by EU govt. If u want no sound, just install 3rd party camera app..

I supposed that but I find it weird since I have a Nokia N95 and you can actually disable the sound...

I disable the click sound for the camera on my phone. You just need to turn on the camera and go to the setting and set the sound to off.

Problem is the rom I'm using (OpenDesire) doesnt display that option in the camera settings.
What I've though is to move/rename/modify the "click" sound that does with another one via adb.

You could try SilentSnap as it may work. It is supposed to launch your camera app with the shutter sound off, but since I use Sense/Froyo, I've no need of it.

T-Mobile Dash Camera APP?!?!?!?!

You know i been wondering... the camera application in our phone is after all a program that runs just like any other program in our phone right? thus being said... with all these applications made for the dash why has anyone yet to make an upgrade for the camera app? even tho the application is set to manufactures default settings so was the T-Mobile rom settings, but people were able to upgrade roms so why is it that we cant upgrade the camera app? maybe there is someone smart enough out there to think of this app. i mean all in all it would be nice to have some extra effects options or a brightness option you know... something to that effect would be a cool thing to have.
There are many Camera applications, I personally use the "stock" camera in conjunction with Cool Camera

yeah its kinda screwed up this app... maybe if you provide the settings you have set on your phone that way i can try to set the same thing on mine and then see if it will work or maybe you can guide me to a website that has more then one camera app on it that way i have a few apps to choose from cause you mentioned there was more then one. thanks so much.

Any way to silence the camera?

Hi guys,
Might be a silly questions - but I can't find the option to shut the camera up, for it not to make that annoying shutter sound. Do you have any idea how to disable it?
Thanks.

Here is a hack http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1385626&d=1349716392. It increases the loudness a bit and disables camera sounds

Thanks. I assume it needs to be rooted?
if you are rooted go to /system/media/audio/ui and delete or rename the according files!
no files, no sound!

Yes. This isn't a flashable zip by the way. It contains a file that you replace the original with... The file is default_gain.conf (found in system/etc)
Backup the original first.
Or do what TML1504 suggested. That's what I usually do.
Not possible on a none-rooted device?
When the phone is in vibrate or silent mode, there is no camera sound

No mate, only with root rights you can change system files or settings
just switch off ringtone in sound setting

Mute the phone. The camera sounds get muted too.

There's no option to turn the shutter sound off like the Note?
Out of curiousity, I just tried muting the phone but camera shutter noise still exist. Any reasons why? different models?

Mine does it right. When I mute the phone, camera goes mute as well

Or, to make it the cleanest possible:
Under /system/csc, there is a feature.xml file.
Edit it, and under the <!-- Camera --> section, add the following line:
Code:
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
And you will have an option in the Camera settings to disable the shutter sound.

Same here, awesome!
Unbelievable! My hubby's 6 year old feature phone has a camera that you can't turn off the stupid sound.
I am stunned that on the Note 2, you must first mute your phone, then open the camera app, then hope your subject is still standing there waiting for the shot. Or I have the option of rooting my phone.
I don't know why, but this just pisses me off! :silly:

[Q] Turn-Off Camera Sound [GT-I8160]

Hello guys :victory:
Is there a way to turn-off the camera sound when we took pictures on our SGA2? (GT-I8160) without setting the phone to Silent?
I cant find an option from the Camera app...
I saw a thread here that needs busybux and a little commands, is there another way to disable the camera sound?
Thanks for your inputs...
here is camer sound patch i made http://d-h.st/Aa2
- Type "su" and give root permissions;
- Type "camerasoundoff" for disable camera capture sound;
- Type "camerasoundon" for enable;
Rename following files in system/media/audio/ui with any root explorer (Solid Explorer i.e.):
Cam_Start.ogg
Cam_Stop.ogg
camera_click.ogg
camera_click_short.ogg
Shutter_01.ogg
VideoRecord.ogg
That's what I've done, but I still get a little sound in the standard camera app (not really noticable in my opinion), so I think I missed one file. However, with Camera ZOOM FX, all sounds are gone.
I just put my phone on silent and i do't hear any sound, what do you actually want?

Setting the phone on Silent is not my option though its so easy to do, but that is actually my question;
How can we turn off the Camera sound with setting the phone to silent... Re-read the 1st post please..
What I actually want is; I want to turn off/on the camera sound quick and easy...
Camera app -> Settings (Gear) -> shutter sound -> off

i'm not an android developer but i'm pretty sure it's very easy to make an app for renaming that files (with root ofc)

I asked these questions because as what I've said no sound option on camera app...
Root your phone, then add the following line to the end of /system/build.prop:
Code:
ro.camera.sound.forced=0
It will be silent if your phone is in silent mode.

as stated on 1st post... I dont want to change silent mode just to capture pictures without sound capture...
Hi,
I found a way to turn off the shutter sound (by coincidence).
I turned off the 'systemsounds' and noticed that the shuttersound was off.
Settings>sound>volume>system (set to a minimum).
I don't know which other sounds I turned off as well by doing this.
I don't miss a sound yet.
My answer may be a little too late, but maybe I help other people with the same problem.
Greetings

[Q] Camera Shutter Sound

do we have anything on the camera shutter sound front? Id really love to silence it for good because not only is it abnoxious, but its also loud! preferably something simple for us who have the phones intact with all the bloatware and not rooted? plain old official out of the box stuff.

Without root ... i don`t think so
U must modify /system/CSC/others.xml and add
Code:
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
with root it's possible by using wanam exposed.

Because in some countries it is forbidden to make "silent photo" or "spy photo" that is why they disable that menu

Sorry for asking, but just to be sure: Have you run the ESS app and checked the 'Disable STREAM_SYSTEM_ENFORCED' checkbox?
It was definitely working on my S4 mini with stock firmware (at that time).

I did, yes. my phone was silenced at the time and I figured maybe its supposed to be on loud when its done so I tried that too. Tried unchecking it as well but nothing. and Im on stock as well

Custom S Pen Sounds

Hi Xdaers,
I'm sure that most of you know about 'Note Buddy' and 'S Pen Toolbox' allowing you to customise the 'attach/detach' sounds of the 'S Pen', along with some other features.
I'm hoping that someone can point me to an app or method that will allow me to customise the sound emitted when you move the device too far away from the 'S Pen'.
I was able to do this on my 'Note 8', now I've forgotten how, but was definitely not through 'Root'.
Any help would be much appreciated, this is the last step in the customisation of my 'Note 10 plus 5G' and its driving me crazy.
Peace...
I think those aspects (sounds of s-pen) no longer work. I mean Note Buddy no longer works for me --itll work for like 2 minutes then revert back to stock sound. So I dont know at this point if those other sounds can be changed

'S Pen Toolbox' sounds modding feature
definitely works on my 'Exynos', I don't use it's other features so can't attest to those. The only thing is that it doesn't include changing the proximity alarm sound.

You Sir/Madam are a diamond, many thanks. ?
Yeah, s pen keeper is a very useful app, I use it since my note 7
Why use an app for that? That function is built-in...

It's not about the function, it's about the sound, and you'd know this if you'd read the thread from the start.
For instance with 'S Pen toolbox' I'm able to change the S Pen detach sound to that of a 'light sabre' and the attach sound to that of a door being locked. With 'S Pen keeper' the proximity alarm sound has been changed to that of a klaxon.
Small things, but they make the device uniquely mine.
I just installed it and change the sound, but it doesn't play it when I use the S Pen

Have you given it 'Administrator' permission?, there's a toggle in the app for it.
Also, make sure that notification volume is turned on.
Ensure that no 'Accessibility Services' are enabled that may interfere with notification sounds, then restart the device.

I guess 1 out of 2 isn't too bad, considering that no updates in years, but for me, S Pen Keeper also works for the proximity functionality.
Maybe try a different sound file/format.
edit- wrong session
Have a look to Pentastic original Samsung App for Spen ?
Pentastic is fantastic.
These are the customisations that should have shipped with the S pen from the get go.
No need for 3rd party apps now, except for the 'proximity alarm' customisation, so Samsung if you're listening, please add this in the next 'Pentastic' update.
No go with Pie... screw Q
