[Q] How to set camera no sound when phone is slient

I know there is a setting in build.prop "ro.camera.sound.forced", if it set to 0 or even removed it, the camera should be silent when taking photos.
But somehow I found that it's only works only some ROM, like it's working on the ICS ROM of MIDNOTE, but not TeamRocketRom, I checked both build.prop there were no ro.camera.sound.forced at all.
So do you guys know why is MIDNOTE can have no sound but not TeamRocketRom

It should work on all ROMs if you locate the sound that is played when you take a picture you should be able to do one of the following successfully:
1. Change the name/extension
2. Delete it
3. Swap the file with a custom made file which is just silence with the same name.
Im quite sure either of those should work (#1 worked for me)
Hope that helps.

Thanks for your reply!
But I want the perfect solution, i mean the camera sound should be enabled according to whether the phone is silent or not.

Yeah, I agree. But I think that might be an issue, at least on the Stock ROM.
I believe they have strict rules in South Korea requiring a noise on a camera. So unless someone has addressed the issue in a custom ROM or app, you might be out of luck for the time being

Agree. But in my case, I'm in Hong Kong, I've ro.camera.sound.forced added and set to 0, it worked. But later I restored it to stock rom (Hong Kong version), that setting not works anymore. That's why I wonder this strange behavior.

This works for shutter sound but there is no sound file for AutoFocus.

lol its because of people taking unknown pics/videos in the asian counties mostly this law was enforces....
use a root explorer and goto /system/media/audio/ui and you will see the camera files just rename them.... that will silent camera

[MOD][ROOT] Audio Hacks and Modifications + New Insanely Loud Volume Hack!! (post 2)

PLEASE READ: I've noticed quite a few ROM devs are using my files without crediting me or linking back to this thread. I don't want people to start asking my permission or anything, feel free to use these files in your own work, but I worked hard trying to get my head round these files; finding out just what everything does and what the volume limits are. If you do use the modified files or modify your own using my guide please at least give me some credit. Thanks.
I've also made an Application that can do this for you. It can be found here.
PART 1
File: 'System/etc/default_gain.conf'
Hey everyone!
For those who remember my old volume hack on the T-Mobile G1, this is essentially the same thing! For some bizarre reason, Samsung decided to map all the maximum volume levels to an easily accessible file (system/etc/default_gain.conf), which is different to 99% of Android phones out there because it's usually built into the kernel or something harder to modify. Cheers Samsung!
THIS MOD WILL MAKE THE PHONE'S SPEAKER AS LOUD AS THE OS ALLOWS. ANY LOUDER AND THE AUDIO BREAKS! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Things this modification can achieve:
Louder Speaker Volume (Ringtones/Messages/Videos/MusicPlayer/etc.)
Louder In-Call Volume (Earpiece and Speakerphone)
Louder Headset Volume (Perhaps - untested)
Louder Bluetooth Volume (Perhaps - untested)
Louder Analogue Dock Volume (Perhaps - untested)
Louder Digital AUX Volume (Perhaps - untested)
Louder FM Radio Volume (Perhaps - untested)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There are a few others in that file too. It's weird that instead of defining the Headset Volume for everything, things like 'incall' and 'FMradio' are all separate.
How To Modify
Any text editor will do but I strongly recommend Notepad++ because it's just awesome!
How To Apply
1) Download attatched file ('default_gain.conf' inside 'VolumeMods.zip')
2) Use a file manager or ADB to push it to "system/etc" (back up existing file first!)
3) From ADB or the Terminal do:
Code:
killall mediaserver
or reboot your phone!
4) Enjoy
PART 2
File: 'System/etc/Volume.db'
This isn't really an audio hack as such, it simply allows you to disable some irritating sounds you cannot normally disable.
What this mod disables:
Camera Shutter Sound 1
Camera Shutter Sound 2
Camera Shutter Sound 3
Boot Sound
Camcorder Sounds
AutoFocus Sound
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All this is so far useful for is to disable the camera sounds without modifying the camera itself.
There are most likely other things this file can do but I've not had chance to play with it properly yet, I'll keep going and update this post if I find anything else.
How To Modify
I strongly recommend using the free "SQL Lite Databse Browser". Any program that can open .db files should work just fine though.
How To Apply
1) Download attatched file ('Volume.db' inside 'VolumeMods.zip')
2) Use a file manager or ADB to push it to "system/etc" (back up existing file first!)
3) From ADB or the Terminal do:
Code:
killall mediaserver
or reboot your phone!
4) Enjoy
All the usual warnings apply: I am NOT responsible if this breaks your phone, speaker or ear-drums and I am not responsible for anything else negative that may occur. If you rooted your phone you should know how to recover from potential soft-bricks, etc. It's your responsibility, not mine.

Insane Volume Boost
As the name suggests, this extra little mod (to the same file) will increase the volume even higher. Seriously high. I wouldn't recommend doing this as it distorts to hell and will most likely damage the speaker in the long run.
For those of you crazy enough to give this a go, here are the instructions:
1) Take the 'default_gain.conf' file (attached to the first post)
2) Search for the following section:
Code:
Modifier "Normal" {
Supported Device {
"Speaker"
}
Enable {...
and then look for
Code:
{ "AIF1 Boost Volume",
Change the value after that to whatever you want. The highest I've dared to go is 55. 55 is PLENTY loud enough, but you can probably go higher.
DISCLAIMER
The volume is getting absolutely ridiculous now. Be seriously careful if you decide to do this because it can go insanely loud and will most probably damage your speaker. You have been warned!!
Enjoy

"THIS MOD WILL MAKE THE PHONE'S SPEAKER AS LOUD AS THE OS ALLOWS. ANY LOUDER AND THE AUDIO BREAKS! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!"
Can you clarify this please. Do you mean that you have cranked the values up as high as sound quality allows??

I've turned it up as loud as the phone will allow. It's currently set to '63' but setting it to '64' breaks the audio so you end up with no sound until you change it back. It doesn't seem to distort that much either; the SGS3's speaker is surprisingly good!

Okay, I'll be the first to try it out...reporting back in a min
---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------
Probably just me but I didn't notice any difference except that MAYBE the drop effect during unlock was louder
Actually, I think that the notifications are louder which i like

just tried this and i can confirm its working very well
well done and thanks mate!

yes it works

im on AOKP and there is no default_gain.conf file on system/etc

works like hell

Aokp is no Samsung rom, so it can't be there. But probably the kernel supports the file as cm9 kernel is based on Samsung open source code. However if it is a proprietary module that reads the file that is not in the rom, then there is no way.

You don't have to modify anything, just download the attached zip, move the 'default_gain.conf' file to your phone and use root explorer or something to put it in the 'system/etc' folder. Or you can just "adb push C:/link/to/default_gain.conf' system/etc".
Much quicker and easier than flashing a zip

Nice!

I'm using Omega;s AOKP & it works great. Had to move the 2 files to /system/etc is instructed from the OP.
TYVM!
I nearly went deaf after starting ME, had to lower the volume down. I can tell the big difference with this mod, no more blasting the volume at max to be able to hear anything.

Stock headphones .
4 ok. 5 bit to loud. 6 far to loud.
This mod.
1 ok. 2 loud. 3 to loud. 4 no way.
Problem is constant background hiss .
Think I will lower the numbers s bit in the file and see the result.

Project Super Camera on Steriods -Note 5 Mod - Tmobile - S6

SOMEONE PLEASE TEST THIS AND LET ME KNOW IF IT WORKS​
Now the time has come after 3 years of fighting with the camera on the note 2, note 3 and note 4 trying to make it have unlimited recording limits (until space is full) is now POSSIBLE!
I have spent the last couple hours digging through and pinpointing the 1 thing that cuts off the 4k recording at 5 minutes and you are now able to record up to 1 hour in 4K. I may try to push it more later but this is a good start.
Instructions:
THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP SO DO NOT FLASH THRU RECOVERY
1. Download the zip and extract the apk SamsungCamera4.apk
2. Download es file explorer and browse to system/apps/SamsungCamera4/
3. Make a backup of everything in that folder then delete everything in the folder
4. Copy over the SamsungCamera4.apk that you downloaded to system/apps/SamsungCamera4/
4a. (In V2) copy the media_profiles.xml to /system/etc and overwrite
5. set permissions to rw-r-r on the file
6. Reboot your phone
7. Once rebooted check to see if your camera works, once up look for KRM in the Camera icon to the top of the record button
8. If you see KRM then you have installed the mod successfully
If you have any questions please ask. I have recorded up to 35 minutes so far but ran out of space so please let me know if you can fully record to 1 hour. While this mod does unlock the full recording limits of 4k samsung has generously unlocked it already for 1920x1080 and below. That being said please do not use this mod for any illegal activity,
Also it will split each 4GB file into separate pieces- usually around 8 minutes-9 minutes
DOWNLOADS:
V4T(Tmobile)
CHANGELOGS:
V4
Added ability to use flashlight under 15% battery thanks to @dr.ketan
Made a version for Tmobile due to update that caused FC
Removed media_profiles.xml for now to tweak, gets rid of bitrate improvements (return to stock media_profile recommended for now)
removed button to take snapshots during 4k recording.. caused crashes
V3.2
Fixed recording while in call
Modified timers for recording so they are more accurate
Added snapshot button in UHD, Smooth motion and WHD (BUT DO NOT USE THE BUTTON IN THOSE YET)
V3.1
Fixed 4k unlimited, broke in V3. Fixed in V3.1
V3
(Thanks to @dwitherell back on the note 4 for telling me about how to do these)
Prevent audio from stopping/pausing when taking a pic or shooting video
Allow for taking video while in call
Broke 4k recording...
V2
4K bitrate turned up to 68Mbps from 48Mbps
Picture quality turned up to 100% from 96%
V1
4K can record up to a full hour
Modified recording icon​
Some interesting information... the note 5 has a 20MP camera apparently because when u take snapshots it is around 5310x4000. Also when trying to change the resolution of slo mo to anything over 1280x720 I got garbled video so thats a lost cause.

I'm curious about which method you're using to increase video bitrates, OP. Are you just editing the XML file? I know how to edit the actual APK file which is the effective method (the XML edit doesn't generally work and is more placebo). Editing the APK also allows you to edit many other things. It seems like you've done some .smali edits and I could be saying all this for nothing lol.
Anyway, if you need help of want to know anything about messing the the camera just give me a shout. I've done this numerous times.

There have been some tweaks in the smali but the xml has also been modified. Ill probably hit u up some time, theres a few things i havent figured out yet

Sounds good. I'll help in any way I can.

Has anyone tried this?

I got as far as backing up and deleting stock camera apk.. and moved the moded apk reboot and cam icon was gone .
Either the instructions are off or hard to follow
Says I'n V2 to move xml and set permissions but where is the xml files.
And is V2 an old version which has no links to download only V4.

No worries, a lot of great work goes unnoticed because people don't understand what it is exactly what your doing..
The S6 Camera app is pretty damn good, but I know it has a greater potential to be better.. You noticed it.. I've been watching this thread, but since it had very little comments... I thought it was abandoned.. But most certainly if you get the time.. I'd love to see what you can do.. It's far beyond my paygrade..

Getting fc after launching the camera app ....are we supposed to use part 4a files too? If so where can we get the download

Can someone help me edit "Mixer_Paths.xml?" with root?

Hey Guys,
I am pulling my hair out. The one and only reason I sought out a 4.4.4 version of the Turbo was so I could obtain root and then edit Mixer_Paths.xml to increase the headphone volume. I have tried everything and when I reboot, the xml file reverts to the way it was before. I have followed every guide I could find for the Droid Turbo, the Nexus 6 and pretty much any other Android phone and it seems to be so straight forward! Open Mixer_Paths.xml from system/etc, then in text editor change the values I needed to, then save and reboot. I have done this 20+ times and upon reboot, the changes are not saved. While I know this isn't specifically an audio issue, I feel that this is a common method while rooted. Can anyone chime in as to what I am doing wrong? I've tried root browser, root explorer, ES file manager, Turbo Text editor and a few others. All produce the same results. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Write protection of the system files is enabled, so any changes that you make to them while the phone is running will not stick. You need to make any changes to the image that you want to make before you flash it to your phone.

Thank you so much! I guess the Droid Turbo is slightly different in its root method than other phones and I now understand what "write protected" means! Really appreciate the help.
Now, let's see if I can comprehend the tutorial.
Edit: I think, sadly, that modifying the system image is beyond me. Bummer, I feel like I went through the hassle to root my Droid Turbo and it was really for nothing. Literally the only thing I want to do is change two lines in the mixer_paths.xml file, but I don't want to risk bricking my phone with a system image that I screw up somehow.
Anyone want to help me make a system image in return for a small donation?

That's an awfully kind offer. Well, in system\etc there is a file called mixer_paths.xml and near the top is "RX1 Digital Volume" and "RX2 Digital Volume" - both of which I am trying to change the value from "84" to "94" to increase the headphone volume. That's it, really!

I know he says that you have to wipe data, but you really don't. But if you would prefer a less messed-with image, I can do that for you. I'll probably get to it sometime tomorrow. Do you also want the Pon-3 audio mod in this image? It's basically v4a, but it actually works with lollipop.
EDIT: Here you go. This contains only root and the mixer paths modification that you wanted. If you decide you want Pon-3, let me know. It's easy to add. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz1f5-grRw5BUkcwbzVVZGtuTFk/view?usp=sharing

I decided to flash the CF image and it worked fine without a data wipe, thankfully.
Honestly, I think I'd prefer a stock image with just the volume mods. Nothing against CF's work and I certainly understand why so many like it, but Pon-3 does absolutely nothing for me since I use Tidal for streaming and I do not believe any of the effects work on streaming services (they might on Google Play Music which I don't use). Does V4A not work with Lollipop? I'm not sure if Pon-3 is worth having on there or not. Maybe I'm using it incorrectly, but I could not get it to alter the sound at all while streaming Tidal and that's my only media source at this point. Any thoughts?
Thanks again!

If you would like a stock image with only the volume mods, see my previous post on this thread. V4A does not work properly on lollipop. Pon-3 is V4A (the exact same code, except fixed for lollipop) + a few more audio optimizations. It works identically, and even has the same control panel menu as V4A. Some apps aren't compatible with it, and some apps (like Poweramp, which is what I generally use for music) will work if you mess with the settings of that specific app.

Marshmallow with Kitkat's Output Power

Hello guys. I had posted some months ago my question but all I was suggested was installing mods that I already had tried.
So, my 'problem' is that I find Stock Marshmallow's output(volume and bass) on headphones (3.5 jack) pretty low compared to Stock Kitkat. Especially the bass, it is really, really louder/heavier on Kitkat.
Is there any way to get/move Kitkat's sound enhancements right into Marshmallow?
Thanks in advance, have a happy new year!

The only way to try this would be decrypting the original KitKat files and recode them into MM, though you need some knowledge about how it works for it. As for now, I do not know any way to get back that feature from KK.
Mods are really great in this sort of situation, I myself use the A.R.I.S.E. mod and configured it for my in-ears.

Unfortunately, I have no knowledge of coding etc.. I had tried arise sound mod but the sound was completely distorted(maybe I had installed something wrong,but all I did was install a .zip file and nothing more.)
Edit: could you message me and redirect me to the things you did and worked for you? I think I'll give a try tonight or tomorrow night! Thanks!

Well, installing the .zip is fine, but you ... gotta turn it on, too. When you flashed the zip, a new tool called Viper4Arise pops up in your app list. Open that and configure how you like to. In the app, you can change everything you like (and there's tons of stuff, trust me) but keep in mind to check if the module is active ( [≡] > Driver Status).
As of the settings I've done, I made the for my personal in-earphones (SoundMagic E10). There are things like ViPER-DDC which makes the sound of your head/earphones pretty nice if they're supported, if not, well then you gotta tune it yourself. Might plan to listen to a lot of different music and testing all the settings for your own preferences

Well, I'll maybe give a try and write you back... I didn't really understand whay you said there ' check if the module is active ( [≡] > Driver Status). '
Also, which one of these folders should I open and then,which version(file name) should I download?
I'm on Stock 6.0.1 with any other mod installed.
(yes,i'll make a nandroid backup before installing it)
Thanks in advance
Edit: I installed ViPER4Arise+2.5.0.5 and it worked fine,but still,the sound is quite,compared to Stock KitKat... Even after raising Master Gate (Limiter) to the max (6dB)... I don't know what to do

Then it is probably limited by the ROM itself.. Well you can look up how to create your own custom rom with higher output at the audio jack, but aside from that, I don't have any other ideas how to raise it other than going back to kitkat.
Well the volume is loud enough for me, so sadly I can't help you with this

Exactly, KitKat allowed more output volume than Marshmallow does, I guess....I wish I knew how to increase the output levels and set them just as high as the Stock Kikat are.

I might just randomly found a way to set the volume gain, but you need a unlocked bootloader + elitekernel (or any other) for that.
