How to Disable Camera Shutter Sound! FINALLY! - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

There is a free app in the market called Shut up!Camera! Download and press the camera icon to disable the sound and THAT'S IT!! *Requires Root to use* You can press it again to enable the sound again, but who would want to do that?!? LOLOL!

You can just rename the sound file in the media ui folder. That will do it as well. However, I can kill the shutter sound but not the beep. Does this do the beep as well?
Nice find.

When I try to rename or do anything with files in that folder, it get an access denied error. Using Root Explorer or Astro with zedomax root.
What am I doing wrong here?

You need to change the folder permissions to r/w

The app kills the shutter sound but not the beep. There is an alternative camera app called Vignette in the market that is better than the stock camera app that doesnt have a focus beep.

it doesn't mute camera shutter sound. sorry. have tried several camera apps that have the option to mute the shutter sound but the sound is still there.

It worked for me, Oh and your phone has to be ROOTED. Forget to mention that, sorry.

I renamed all my camera sounds weeks ago and all parts of my camera have been silent since.
You need root and root explorer, then go and rename all the camera sounds.

can you post the path to the camera sound files?
Thanks,
Price

Any app that can make the volume buttons take the picture instead of zoom?

Can you expand on how to change the folder permissions? I am using Astro and cant seem to rename the files due to not having write access.

The easiest way is to use Root Explorer. Of course in any case, you HAVE to be rooted to do this.
Make sure you remount it to RO when finished. You're playing with the risky stuff if you do any of this.

Why don't you guys just use Potatoman's hacked camera? Much better quality and its silent. Search for the thread, it's easy to find. I don't have time to post a link right now.

Hi, I did root my phone and use the terminal emulator to rename the camera_click.ogg to camera_click.oggOLD but the shutter sound still exist.
Did anyone have the same problem?? I am running out of ideas...

This is from the hacked camera post. Haven't tested myself yet.
Additional info:
If you want to get rid of the shutter sound, create a file in /data called local.prop and add the line "ro.camera.sound.forced=0" and restart your phone. This removes both the shutter sound and the focus sound when your phone is on silent, but keeps the sound when it's not on silent. - llBlackenedll

Nevermind I answered my own question.
Ill be rooted tomorrow anyways

Is There A Way To Silence Camera

I have yet to take the plunge into rooting; however I am wondering if there is a way to silence the camera snapshot sound....
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA Premium App
yes there is you should be able to find by using the search function go ahead try it
Wrong section bro. But yes, there is. Most roms have it built in but you can also search for 'potatoman' and use his mod. Follow the instructions in his post.

After you're rooted, use root explorer and go to:
/system/media/audio/ui/
Rename the shutter sounds to something else (example: rename Shutter_01.ogg to Shutter_01.ogg.bak). If you ever want the sound back, just rename it back.
Also Cam_Start.ogg and Cam_Stop.ogg are the camcorder start/stop sounds.

What about the camera focus sound? The last time I checked there is only the sound file for camera capture.
I have been searching around the web but could not find any answer to that. Is it impossible to remove camera focus sound?

+1.... if removing two files or renaming them is too difficult then i really don't know why they're doing modifications to their system if they can't do such a simple task.
then when they have troubles with something, they can't figure it out.

you'll need to be rooted, and use an app like Root Explorer, or any app that has a file manager that can access system level. go to System>App> and find two files, one is SamsungCamera.API and SamsungCamera.odex either change the name of both of these files (eg: SamsungCameraOLD.API and. odex) or delete them, either way SamsungCamera.API and SamsungCamera.odex should not exist anymore. now that you've done that, use that root file manger to place his hacked SamsungCamera.apk and place it in the same folder (System>App>). then restart your phone.
note* you may need to mount your R/W card, you can simply do that by the giant button at the top of Root Explorer.

If you're on a deodexed rom, then you won't have those files. Just reboot after dropping the apk in there, make sure your permissions are correct, and you'll be good to go.
What are the correct permissions? I tried flashing the zip through CWM but no go. I'm on a deodexed Rom also tried dropping the Samungcamera.apk file into system/app...

I hear there was a camera mod that made shooting videos a much higher quality but it only worked for the international version of the GSlll. Perhaps doing it for this would be possible at a later date?

I am actually working on the higher bit-rates also. I have a few versions right now, in testing, the only issue I am running into right now is that when you use the power button for the shutter, it also triggers the power menu. It still takes the picture and all, but its an annoyance.
Has the video recorder always had that click-click sound whenever the ringer volume is on?? That's really annoying. I thought shutter sound in the camera controlled both.

CWM and TWRP installs are interchangeable in most, if not all cases. Definitely when you're talking about a simple script like this one.

Changing the touch screen clicking sound

I already tried changing the sound by putting in the "TW_Touch.ogg" and "S_HW_Touch.ogg" but it doesn't seem to register at all
The reason why I'm changing is because the "cik cik cik" sound on certain custom ROMs are hell lot more annoying and I'd prefer the stock "pop" sound for the touch sound.
Anyone would shed some light on how to do this?

Make sure you change the permissions of the ogg file to match those of other system files.

Unless you root and mod the sound is required. There was a law passed that says the provider nor manufacturer can make it so the sound can be disabled. The reason being is so you can't be one of these creepers in the malls taking pictures without permission.
There is an app called "enforced stream silencer" that does not require root. Maybe thus will work I will know at 9 am tomorrow and report back!
I believe if all of your volumes are down, you won't hear it.

The camera shutter sound option in the camera settings menu is a csc feature which only gets enabled if your carrier & country code has it. The actual setting checkbox can be added by a rom dev along with a lot of other options throughout the phone. When I get around to rooting my new Note 4 I plan to get to work on making a custom stock rom with all the bells & whistles including the camera shutter sound menu option. I'm coming from the Note 2. Things will soon pick up for the Note 4 develop section.

Device/System/csc/feature.xml. In feature.xml edit the line in the camera section, "shutter sound menu" from false to true. Reboot the phone. You will then have an option to enable/disable the shutter sound in the Camera apps menu . You must be rooted and use something like es file Explorer
Turn your ringtone volume all the way down to silence the camera shutter sound.

I used that one a couple of years ago. I believe you may have to change permissions for feature.xml to r w through root Explorer if I remember correctly.
Es Explorer will just do it automatically if it's root explorer setting it set to "ON".
