Disabling camera sound? tried but failed - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
My Galaxy phone is rooted and I deleted some of the .ogg sound files in the SYSTEM/MEDIA/AUDIO/UI folder, but the camera still makes a clicking sound when taking a photo
Any ideas how to solve this? I want it permanately gone, not just turning down the phone volume
thx

Which ones did you delete and did you restart your phone afterwards? By deleting camera_click and camera_click_short you shouldn't have the sound file anymore so restarting should fix the problem.

Ah, I did delete those, but I still get that "focus beep" how can I get rid of that?

That sound is actually kept inside the APK and you can't remove it without modifying the APK.

You can rename it instead of deleting it in case something goes wrong. The two files should be in system/media/audio/ui 'camera_click.ogg' and camera_focus.ogg'. :victory:

Battery full notification sound

Hello. I know I have seen this before but can't seem to find it anywhere. Can the battery full notification be turned off? Thank you in advance.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
There's no setting that can turn it off... other than to lower your volume or put notifications on Silent.
You could try renaming the TW_battery_caution.ogg file in system/media/audio/ui that would eliminate it from being found when it tries to play the sound. (haven't tried this so it may throw an error (doubtful)... at which point you could rename it back to the original name)
Like JoeDV says--
Go to Settings - Sound and Display - System Volume - and move the slider all the way to the left and touch OK. You will still have the visual notice, but NO sound.
If you want other sounds from the "system", this won't work for you, but I always have system volume turned all the way down. For me, it helps convserve the battery.

I think you're onto something here. Rather than renaming the file, and potentially causing an issue when the system tries to call on that file to play the sound, you could REPLACE the sound file with one that contains no sound.

Well, yeah... you could do that too. Good idea.
Feel free to delete sound files in that folder.
I deleted Lock.ogg inside that folder since I like the unlock noise but not that crappy tick for locking it.
Also deleted shutdown.ogg...

[Q] Silent camera shutter?

How can be the camera focus and shutter sound be silenced? I tried rooting the device and creating a local.prop file in data folder in root as for Galaxy SII but without results. Any hint appreciated!

Just turn the volume down before you launch the camera app - the volume control controls the zoom level when the camera is launched.

Close, but not quite. /system/media/audio/ui/Shutter_01.ogg is the one. Thanks for the hint, wouldn't have found it so quickly without it.
Thank you
Without rooting, how can I silent the shuttle sound from taking camera and video? Silencing the phone is not working for me.
thanks!
but where is the focus sound? you know when the camera does auto-focus it makes sound.

go into settings, sound and tap volume and set the media volume to 0, see if that works for you.

I think there are some sounds within the camera.apk itself, I think that might be one of them.

Line wasn't in my build.prop. Added it, rebooted, didn't add any options to the settings menu. Took a picture while volume was on silent, still had shutter click noise.

Try this camera.apk!
I've removed the sound, but not tested yet.
Now it should be fully silenced.
Edit:
Tried it, got FC. I'll take a closer look later!
Edit 2:
If you also want to look for this, the audio files are in camera.apk/res/raw

Hi Army92,
Any luck with the FC?
Thanks!
guys.. this works for me and I've only rooted the phone..
Start the camera
Turn the volume right down to 0 via the volume rocker button.
Now there is no click or focus noise at all...

Camera Launch Noise

Anyone know how to turn off the camera launch sound ?
Had a quick look around and can't find any way to do it.
Not talking about the shutter sound, it's the noise that it makes when you press the dedicated camera key to launch the camera app.
So that would be no then?

Maybe you can't do it in the Sony stock ROM, if you've rooted your Z1 though you can probably locate the audio file and delete it, or modify the apk file that calls the audio file and delete the line that actually plays the audio file.

Probably would work but find it incredible that such an intrusive noise like this can't be switch off. Currently the only way to stop it is to turn the volume down on the phone.

I just received my device and I'll have a look for you. I can't provide an easy way to disable the sound though since I'm not that good with smali or whatever. But I can probably locate the audio file and tell you about it. Other than that, wait for the custom roms.
Perhaps it can be replaced by a quieter shorter sound, the current noise is the electronic equivalent of Dom Joly shouting 'I'M USING MY CAMERA'.

Okay I found the audio file for you, didn't do it last night because of other things.
It's located here: /system/app/SemcCameraUI.apk/res/raw/start_up_notifier.wav
I assume you can delete it and you shouldn't have the start up sound anymore. The problem at the moment is that unlocking the bootloader breaks the camera, and I don't feel like breaking my camera to try and see if it works.
Just to be save, make sure you backup your "SemcCameraUI.apk" file before modifying it and if things don't do as planned, put it back.
you dont have to unlock the bootloader to delete that file, root is enough.

That's totally true, but you can't modify the odexed apk file. You first have to deodex it, delete it, then odex it again and see if it works.. speaking of which I can give it a shot. Will report back later!

Rooted HTC Mini 2 Camera Click and Autofocus sound still there?

How do I remove these files...Tried alot of apps with root access which still haven't given me a silence camera, shifted around alot in the root access not found anything.
The click as you focus and the click as the photo is taken...my phone is rooted so how do I get rid of it?

You can do that by simply going into camera definitions> camera options> turn shutter sound off.
Not in this region there is no option to turn off the shutter sound.
I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING.
1. I am using the file explorer. I have found the offending files. I have deleted them, renamed them, cut them, done everything humanly possible.
Yet everytime I go back there they have reappeared and continue to sound. I literally cannot fathom how ****ing hard it is to delete a 20kb click on a rooted phone
2. I have also tried the ULTIMATE sound control app which is very good at locating the problomatic sounds but and I turn them off using that program
And you guessed it they're right back there. These files are undeletables
I need to take pictures of some pretty furry stuff at work and I cannot have drip clickity clack clack when I am trying to take pictures....I don't know what else to try atm. I don't understand how they keep coming back where does the 30kb come from if I just deleted it

It could be possible that your region has a law against turning off shutter sounds which is why it has been omitted. Where did you buy it from? That could clear a bit of why the option isn't there.
EDIT: Did you try using the camera in silent mode? Maybe, just maybe the camera app will not have shutter sounds. It works for me though

Never heard of such law but we are always learning.
if volume off does not work you can always install the backup i made available.

I don't think gaining S-OFF will accomplish this. If you want to try though, google Sunshine. It lets you S-OFF modern HTC devices, albeit with a $25 fee

the problem in question is how to disable the click NOT what he's using it for.
same reason if you want to disable flash so you dont get notice when taking a picture of your friend sleeping with an open mouth.

Disable Shutter sound?

Hey,
I had to buy a new phone (P10 VTR-L29) in Japan and I have an japanese SIM card. Japanese phones and SIM cards always make the shutter sound. By rooting my phone and by flashing a magisk module, I could delete the shutter sound for whatsapp and other apps. But the stock camera still makes the sound. Is there a way to disable it? There is no option in the camera app to turn off the shutter sound.
Thanks!
Go to settings o f the camera app then scroll down find the mute settig then enable it.

Like I already said: "There is no option in the camera app to turn off the shutter sound."
There should be mute in the settings (drag from right in camera app).
I haven't yet rooted this phone so can't be sure but there should be somewhere in "system/media/audio/ui" to find the camera .ogg files and either rename so you can easily put them back or delete. I would just rename to play safe camera_click.ogg.backup or something (for all camera sounds).
Obviously remember to backup before fiddling in /system

In the attachments is a screenshot of my settings.
I also replaced the system/media/audio/ui files by flashing a magisk module. It worked to some extent. Snapchat, whatsapp and so on won't make a sound, but the stock camera app still makes a sound.
So I am guessing that Huawei hardcoded this setting into the stock camera app if you bought it in Japan.
Maybe someone can extract their stock camera app so I can install it on my phone?

I wouldn't imagine be hardcoded into apk. If you are rooted there is no reason I can see you not being able to turn it off. I would try changing all the sounds off manually rather than through module in case is slightly different names or something, only verified working for Lineage.
Also I think you can change the camera names in build.prop
As I say I haven't rooted this so can't be sure where it is, what it's called or indeed even if there is something there.
