There's a possible work around that I found by accident. It's in my thread in the development section. Let me know if it works for anyone, or if it was just a weird fluke for me. Also, do keep in mind what Apro said.

i cant test this since my screen is broken and i'm rollin zack morris style.... but if someone wants to try flashing this and letting me know if it works that would be great.

i just pulled the camera sound.ogg and muted the audio in the ogg... backup 1st or just flash..... dont come at me if ur cat gets herpes after flashing.
[Epic 4G General] xBTx:
I've tried doing this before, but the camera would always crash or not show up. I can test it for you though. Give me a minute.

Edit: nevermind, you did it differfent than I tried. The shutter sounds for the camera are actually in Camera.apk.
[Epic 4G General] BopChie:
thanks, i modded the old cam apk from a gb leak with no issues a few month back,,, the .ogg file is still there i just edited the volume of it.

looking at the ec05 to ei22 update i didnt see a camera.apk.. but the cameraclick.ogg was in system/media/audio/ui.... that is the file i muted

let me know how it goes

Its not illegal in the US but since Samsung is in Korea(right? I think) and its illegal there they have to make products that follow those restrictions.

And the the person that mentioned geo tagging, the option to remove it is back on GB.

[Epic 4G General] xBTx:
What exactly did you do? When I tried removing or replacing the sounds, all I could get out of it was FCs.
[Epic 4G General] Lontrel:
Yes, I did not have any shutter sound, either, after I upgraded. Then I started reading this thread and started fiddling with the three sounds GB offers. Oops...now I can't turn it back off! What a bummer.
[Epic 4G General] xBTx:
Yeah lol. That's what I did. The sounds don't really bother me though.
[Epic 4G General] mkasick:
Actually that's good news. It means the GB Camera app respects the old Froyo "no sound" setting even though there's no direct way to set it in the menu.

Here's how to manually disable the shutter sound:

1. Start the Camera app.

2. Goto Settings, "Wrench", Shutter sound, select "Sound 2", press save.

3. Back out of the Camera app (press back a bunch, but not home).

4. Open root explorer, an adb root shell, or anything that lets you modify files as root.

5. Open "/data/data/com.sec.android.app.camera/shared_prefs/com.sec.android.app.camera_preferences.xml".

6. On the line containing "pref_setup_shuttersound_key", change the value to "0". That is:

<int name="pref_setup_shuttersound_key" value="0" />

and save.

That's it! Restart the Camera app, no more shutter sound.

Now it would be nice to have a modified Camera app that puts that option back in the menu. If no one else has, I'll try to look into it sometime. It's quite possible the old code is still there and it's just disabled by Samsung at the moment, but my TODO list is awfully long so someone else may want to try to tackle that.
[Epic 4G General] xBTx:
Yeah, there are xmls in the camera.apk that I'm sure you could do something with to add an option. Not really my area though.
[Epic 4G General] BopChie:
here http://youtu.be/zypcKb-7hkw

ziiing, i edited the ogg... clipped the volume down to like 1db and the IDtag needs to stay intact, i.e. the shutter sound 3 idtag is "Shutter_03_+16dB" but the file name is just "shutter3.ogg" so if you replace the sound and just rename the new/blank audio file to "shutter3.ogg" then android is going to get all pissy and tell you to get f@ck'd when you launch the cam/take a pic :D
[Epic 4G General] R3537L1F3:
Either its a rooted thing or my gb update just didn't ge an updated camera (it says the camera firmware up to date) but I have a shutter off option and hear no suter when volume down. Aren't I lucky :p

[Epic 4G General] M1Quinn:
I didn't read all 6 pages so not sure if this has been mentioned.

You could downlod the widgetzoid app from the market and set up a sound widget where you can easily set volumes for multiple features. To silence the cam you can easily turn the system volume all the way down and then turn it back up when you're done sneeking pics your cat or dog
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
Doesn't work. I use audioguru and it accomplishes the same thing as your app, and still hear the sound.

No sound camera

I created my own EI22 no sound camera. Shutter 1 is now muted as is the focus beep. I also corrected a misspelling in the metering menu. "Centre-weighted" is now spelled correctly.

Ikr weird. But does anyone else have 2 qik apps? I can't remove either one. Please remember I not rooted so techniques for such phones won't help me.

Also in the rumor thread some people said their update was 2.3.4 instead of 2.3.5 maybe that's it or the shutter thing is a rooted phone thing? Idk, just shooting ideas.

<link removed because of my noob post count>

I tried this, and it silenced the shutter sound, but the focus beep is still there. Any ideas? I had to flash it twice before the sound was silenced. Flashed it over Legendary Rom 4.0.1.

Edit: The focus issue is only when you haven't focused before taking a picture. Open camera, take a picture. It attempts to focus and if it fails (focus icons turn red) it beeps... Anyway to stop that beep?

newbie question...think i screwed up

I understand the general odex vs deodex but what happens if I flash a deodex zip on a non deodex system (running rooted ei22 stock)? Am I screwed? Think I figured it out...my camera doesn't open at all.

Is there a way to mute the shutter sound for non-deodexed roms?

Does anyone have the stock ei22 camera apk and can I just put it in my apps folder to get my camera back to work or do I have to reflash my rom?
[Epic 4G General] IcePlanet:
I went back and removed all the sounds except for the countdown timer. That sound can be helpful.

Shutter 1 - Mute

Shutter 2 - Old shutter 1 sound

Shutter 3 - Normal, no change

I got curious and searched for the final word on the legality of silent camera apps in the US...

All I could find was a bunch of references from around 2009, where some politicians tried to introduce legislation to require a shutter sound, to impede (because, let's face it, it won't stop) pedophiles.

I couldn't find a definite answer either way about the final decision, so it's possible that the attempts all died off (silently, can you appreciate that irony?)

But, until a source can be found that confirms this, we can't assume anything... it does look plausible, though.

Anyone else care to search for a solid answer? If we find one, we might be able to convince all of the devs to go ahead and bake in the silent cameras... (I had an awesome shot of about 13 deer, less than 10 feet from my front door, but I could only get the first pic...)

Its illegal in Korea for sure, which is where Samsung HQ is located, so they have to follow those laws, and instead of making two apps for different countries they just used the same one.

Know I still don't see wtf Japan & Korea have to do with are phones in the U.S. of A? By your logic of samsuck going by the laws of where there HQ is just does not add up. Do they pay their employees world wide acording to wage laws in Korea? I think not,

I'm not trying to E-fight with you or any thing. Non of its adding up to me. I think they are just sucking again last time they take our goetag off switch this time they give it back but take our sound OFF.

[Epic 4G General] Dronak:
I'm new here, and just rooted my phone. I remember looking for a way to silence the camera in Gingerbread EI22 and found this thread. Some posts here are relevant to me as well.

I have the same problem. When I edit the file using ES File Explorer's root explorer option and file editor, it looks like it changes correctly, sometimes making a .bak backup file. But when I go back to the camera and take a picture, it still makes a sound. I have no custom ROM installed, I've only rooted the stock ROM right now. When I go back to the file, it's back to its original state. Am I doing something wrong?

I thought just editing a file (above) would be easy enough, but since it's not working for me, I might have to flash this modification. I'm in the same situation, so I'd also like to confirm that the odex version is the one to use for a rooted stock (no custom ROM installed).
