Greetings,
Per the security policy at the company i work for, cameras are not allowed in the facility.
i would like to know if i can disable the camera driver in an easy way so that when i am at work the driver can be disabled, and when i am not at work i have the option to re-enable the camera.
No disrespect, and I'm sorry I can't technically help you with your question, but, your employer will believe you if you tell them "it's cool, I disabled my camera driver?"
Unless you're working for a software engineering company I don't see that flying...

A more difficult way would be to save the Camera .apk on your SD card. Every time you go into work, go to system/apps and delete the Camera .apk and reboot. When you get out, you copy your .apk on the SD card and paste it into system/apps and fix permissions and reboot.
A bit lengthy but it would remove the Camera functionality of the phone

I don't think they'll let you use it if your phone has a physical camera.

if it can be proven the camera does not function then they can let you through.

i thought of this, but what about programs such as Price Scanner or Camcorder that also use the camera? will removing the camera app make all of those stop working as well?

No. They activate the camera on their own.

That is what i thought, and figured i should ask if it is possible to disable the driver or other underlying code that controls the camera.
Thanks
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.

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

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.

Thank you! I figured it would need to be dropped in somewhere just didn't know the right location for it. :good:
EDIT: now that I got in there and looked the only file I have is SamsungCamera.apk. Now showing any .API or .odex files?

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...
Thanks
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.

I saw that the codename android ROM (i know the its a different ROM build but maybe he has some ideas) has a the power button as the shutter already. Maybe you can ask the OP if he could advise you on the issue you are having.
Here is the link to the ROM.

Is there anyways I can get this working on the gs2 without running a custom rom and staying stock? I've been looking and didn't find anything. Just did it for my friends gs3 and it worked perfectly. Can't find the files on my gs2 so I guess it must be a lil different on this phone.
Edit: This is what I was trying to do. Actually I want that option to link more than 5 contacts too!

Thanks for that link. But I think if I'm stock rooted I'm odexed correct? And the 5 contacts thing is not regarding sending mms. It let's you link more than 5 contacts. Samsung has this stupid restriction which makes me have duplicate contacts for some people once I link all 5 and the person has more accounts with other apps that sync to my contacts.
Edit: Tried to flash your modded camera and it killed the auto focus beep but volume keys didn't work to take the pic nor did the on call feature work. Went back and completely uninstalled the camera before flashing again and that did the trick. I still have a shutter sound tho. How can I delete that?

The stock roms get released in odex and deodexed versions. If it worked for you, then I'm guessing you're deodexed.
With root explorer you will have to look in system/media folder. I can't recall exactly which sounds are related to the camera but they are named pretty well so it shouldn't be to difficult to figure out. Just rename them if you're not sure instead of deleting them. I think you also provided a link to something about the 5 contacts. I'll take a look at that too when I have time.

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".
