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!

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.

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...
Hey guys. stupid question.
If I start the camera by pressing its button or from the lockscreen i hear a stupid loud sound when its ready.
How can i get rid of that?

It's a legality thing if I'm not remembering wrong. For the environment to have a chance to react to creeps taking photos when they shouldn't.
I remember it from a thread on SGS3 forum I think. The shutter sound was there even if phone was muted. Only way to stop it was removing the shutter sound file and for that root was needed, or a repackaged firmware.
I think it's a good thing even if it can be annoying for some.

But I don't get this Sound when I just open camera from homescreen and I can deactivate the shutter Sound
Just rename the corresponding wav file then.
Located in:
Code:
/system/media/audio/camera/sound1/

The sound file used in this case is located in the SemcCameraUI.all file, so you can't just delete it I guess. Plus it's odexed, if that makes any difference...

The sound is not in the folder neither it is in any of the folders before. I couldn't find it somewhere but the sound is still really annoying...

This is really annoying - I guess rooting is the only way to get rid of this sound?
Find that hard to believe, but if someone could confirm I'd be grateful.

Workarounds:
Put the phone in silent, vibrate, or stick in the headset or connect a Bluetooth headset
If you have xposed framework you can download module that disables this sound

I'm rooted and I have tasker. The phone is for an older person who can't see. I'm using tasker to automatically turn the volumes and turn the speakerphone on whenever someone calls but I would still like it to be louder.
Is there any sort of way to do that... like how MX Player seems to be able to up the volume on movies even more than a regular video player at full phone volume?
Deleted.
Change the value in mixer_paths.xml. Google search on how to do it or do speaker gain using a kernel with the capabilities.

I'll look this up. I assume I just need a file manager that supports root access to edit it. I know I've edited some xml files before to do different things but I can't remember the exact app I used. I'm thinking ES File Explorer.

just use viper4android. its the loudest youll be able to get them, and itll raise the quality of sound. there's a thread for it in the apps and themes section. and you will need root.

Well, I think I found the variable I need to adjust and it doesn't seem to be making any difference.
<ctl name="RX7 Digital Volume" value="84" />
I've set that as high as 168 and it still sounds the same to me. (rebooted too just in case).

it works, battery drain is not noticeable, and sound quality is a HUGE improvement, especially via headphone. after you flash it(or install into /system/priv-app/) open it and itll ask to install the driver, press yes. after installing the driver(i pick highest quality) youll have to reboot for it to take effect. after you boot up, open the app and look at its options(press the top right), pick ui setting then pick expert. itll give you more choices for you to set up

Is there anyway to get rid of it completely after installed? I granted it access to root to install the driver and after rebooting. "Ok, Google" doesn't work anymore. It just shows on the screen "Can't open microphone."
I want the phone to be extra loud but not at the expense of the Google Now voice commands no longer working.

my ik google works fine, and with the screen off and not plugged in as well.
you might have to install a selinux mode changer app as well, i think it needs it on the n6. if no more selunux mode changer apps available in the play store anymore(new rule), there are a few kernels that set it as permissive.
Viper was a bust for me (at least from a new user perspective). I uninstalled the driver and uninstalled the app and the Mic is still broken. "Can't open microphone." on every voice command or even tapping the mic icon on the Google Now bar.
It looks like I get to reset to factory defaults.

you tried rebooting? also, try retraining it to your voice(long press any empty space on the homescreen, press settings, press voice, ok google detection, delete voice model).

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.
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.
