Do you need to use Root Explorer or something to do this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
Yes. But it doesn't work. Even after turning it off the sound is still there. :D

What MMS options?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rustypixel:
This worked perfectly well for me. I've rebooted the phone numerous times and the setting sticks and there is no sound. I even tried taking pictures from within different apps and there's no sound.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
Can you turn it back on?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rustypixel:
Yep. I turned the sound back on and rebooted and it stayed on. Turned it back off and it still works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] enahsak:
How do you get it to save? I've edited the file but it won't save.

Phone hasn't been rooted yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] M4gicM@:
OP you may want to ask to move this in general. I just tried this on Verizon and it works perfectly. Great find!

Also you can remove unremoveable bookmarks in the browser by editing /system/csc/customer.xml and changing the editable "no" to a yes. Keep in mind you will need to close and wipe the browser data from the application menu.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
You answered your own question.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
This just isn't working on my phone. Yes, it added the menu to turn it off and on but I still get the shutter sound no matter what it's set to.

Permanent fix,--- system / media/ audio / UI, add .bak (rename) to camera sounds reboot .DONE; ). (Of course u have to b rooted; )
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rustypixel:
I can confirm (again) that this has worked perfectly well for me. I've been taking pictures all day at random times and have reboot the phone twice. FYI, I have the VZN version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
I just figured out how to enable camera while in a call.

Instructions in OP :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
Nice haha. I saw that one before. I also saw a option that would keep music playing whole camcorder is running. Never got it to work with a simple line change though. Will have to dig in some more.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jsmcmahon89:
Works like a charm too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] limeaid:
Having the same issue. I see the menu option but the shutter still makes a sound. The strange thing is that when I turn the sound off, the auto focus is silent but the shutter sound still fires.

I'm running stock, btw
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ir6ub9:
I've posted this question in Blazer Rom, but maybe here might be a better choice:

Problem: Go into MMS and add group (make sure group has at least 11 contacts. An error pops up stating, "10 Contact available only".

Issue: I know for a fact HTC phones Evo Shift, EVO 3D and EVO LTE can group SMS 40 contacts.

So Far: I have decomplied SecMms.apk, edited: res>xml>mms_config.xml and changed the value in the line

"<int name="recipientLimit">10</int>" to 100....compliled and replaced...still get error message even cleared cache and dalvik.....

So why is it an HTC Phone has this capability but Samsung doesn't?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Solar257:
If I change the MaxImageWitdh and MaxImageHeight 1280 and 720 is that all I need to do if I want to increase the size of the pictures I send via text message? It looks like the mms message size limit is under CscFeature_Message_MaxMmsSize, should I change that as well or is there something else that needs to be tweaked? -- I'm on a Verizon GS3 and the silent camera mod worked btw (I haven't made a phone call to test the camera tweak yet).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
Okay, just figured out how to enable the joining of more than 5 contacts! Instructions in OP.

I'll tackle this next.

EDIT: Try this:

<CscFeature_Message_RecipientLimit>10</CscFeature_Message_RecipientLimit>

Change to whatever number.

Root Explorer

Root explorer wont startup on my phone.it installs about when it opens, it crashes.

Any other options?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidGnome:
OMG this was bothering me so much I actually emailed Samsung: This was there reply:

Bascially a big, Sorry we cannot change this...

This feature you found.. LOVE IT! (Works on my Sprint Version, Blazer ROM btw).

I also found two other items which appear to be interesting:

<!-- Settings -->
<CscFeature_Setting_DisableMenuFindMyMobile>true</CscFeature_Setting_DisableMenuFindMyMobile>
<CscFeature_Settings_FindMyMobile>false</CscFeature_Settings_FindMyMobile>

I set the first to false, and the second to true... now I can see the "Find my Mobile" settings in Security, but clicking on Remote Controls does not take me to any setting... I'm wondering if perhaps there is an app missing?

See page at: http://v2.samsungdive.com/help/guideRemoteControls.do for info on how this is supposed to work...

If someone figures that out it'd be pretty nice.. (Though there are 3rd party alternatives such as lookout and Sprint's own.. I'd rather not install yet another app to do what SHOULD be enabled by default)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 6uPMAH:
So I enabled these remote control settings and actually was able to turn on Remote control, but my phone does not show up on in my account on SamsungDive, so I can't do anything with it. Maybe Sprint/Samsung need to enable somethig else?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
Heh, glad you love it! It was one of the first features I gave the "WTF" face at and vowed to figure out a way to remove that cap. I thought it would be much harder at first but alas, Samsung has provided a way to change a lot of things with their CSC application. :) I've messed around with a ton of things in there including the FindMyMobile setting, but never tried to actually use it as I've disabled(froze) my Samsung account on the phone. I should try and see if I can get it to work? :)

Nice, that's a start. I may dive in and give it a shot sometime in the future. Let us know if you figure out a way to really utilize it!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidGnome:
Weird, when I click on "remote control" in settings , nothing happens.. like it should go to some sort of further settings page but never does..

I wonder if a frozen/removed app is missing in my ROM.. (Using Blazers 1.5).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 6uPMAH:
So this is where I have gotten so far. As you can see in the third image, Remote control appears to be on, but, like I said, I don't see my phone in my SamsungDive account...

Once I clicked on Remote Controls, I got to this screen:

After entering my Samsung account password, I finally ended up here:

As you can see, Remote Control appears to be ON, but no go in the SamsungDive account...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shaun0207:
Root Explorer??

Are there any other options than Root Explorer? It keeps crashing on my phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayabusa1300cc:
ES file explorer, and enable root in settings
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
I second ES File explorer, but does Root explorer fail to obtain root access? or does it just crash?

That's about where I'm at too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
There's no reason you shouldn't be able to use that app. Have you tried clearing data and fixing permissions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shaun0207:
Thanks guys. I have and use ES file Explorer daily and never knew it could do this. Root Explorer opens with a black screen, gains rights and then closes, "saying it is not working correctly"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
Interesting......what version of Root Explorer are you using?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] homamk:
quick question guys. does the phone have to be rooted? just double checking before i mess anything up. and if its not rooted will the settings save after reboot. iv read everything but there isnt a straight answer. THANKS!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
Yeah, you need to be rooted to be able to edit that file.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidGnome:
Hmm must be something that is removed from Blazer's ROM (1.5) as no matter what I do , clicking on the Remote control option does not bring me to the remote settings :( Samsung Apps is installed and i'm signed in as well (verified directly via the samsung app) so there must be something else that was 'debloated' and gone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ir6ub9:
Changed it to 100 but I still get the 10 contact available only error. I am going to try to put the SecMms.apk back to original. Is it possible the CSC feature edits the apk?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidGnome:
<Removed>
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ir6ub9:
Did not work for me. The mms_config file back to original with csc features set to 45. I was going to upload the mms config xml but I guess they are restricted by the site...understandable I guess. I am at a loss. did you manually add your contacts to reach 13 and do you have the stock GS3 message :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidGnome:
WHOOPS... sorry I misread which setting you were adding :)

I thought this was for the CONTACT JOINING limit.. not the MMS Addressing limit.

Ignore my previous comment :( I was refering to the fix I posted a few pages back to change the number of 'joined' contacts.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shaun0207:
Inverted Colors

Ok. I did al the camera changes and now, my email app has inverted colors. How do I get the white background back?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shaun0207:
Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shaun0207:
Shutter Sound menu

After perforning the changes I have the "Shutter Sound Off" in my menu. But it does not work. I have it set to off and I still get a sound. It also tuned my email from white to black. I also added the "camera during call" to the xml file. Going to see if that works now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] verngator:
Edited the file for the "camera during call" thingy but it doesn't work. Even tried the one to get the camera menu to allow for shutter sound on/off, but it doesn't appear in the menu.

Phone is rooted, I inserted an edited version of the .xml file and renamed the original to feature-old.xml and moved it...when I look at the file properties of the files in directory /system/csc/ (including the original feature.xml) they are "rw-r--r--" but the file I edited was different. I changed it to "rw-r--r--" to match the others. Was that correct, or should the properties be different?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] casmi:
In System\Media\audio\ui I renamed the Shutter.ogg to Shutter.ogg.bak and the camera is silent. There is also a Shutter_multiple.ogg if you don't want the multiple shutter sound you can rename it too.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ir6ub9:
So Far

/system/csc/feature.xml file

edit line (thanks freeza):

<CscFeature_Message_RecipientLimit>10</CscFeature_Message_RecipientLimit>

the other is inside the SecMms.apk file itself (must decomplile):

res>xml>mms_config.xml

edit line:

<int name="recipientLimit">10</int>

changed both to 45 but still get the "10 contact avaialble only" error.

Just found this but do not know what to do with it:

SecMms.apk (Decompiled)

\res\values\strings.xml

And

res\values-en-rUS\strings.xml

<string name="recipient_max_limit">Maximum number of recipients is %d</string>
<string name="max_available">%d contact(s) available only</string>

(this is the message “10 contact available only)

<string name="max_recipient_limit_exceed">Maximum number of recipients (%d) reached</string>

<string name="mms_max_recipient_limit_exceed">MMS maximum number of recipients (%d) reached. Some recipients will be lost.</string>

<string name="confirm_mms_max_recipient_limit_exceed">"MMS maximum number of recipients (%d) reached. Some recipients will be lost. Continue?"</string>

the "%d" in the string is a placeholder but, where would the "10" value come from?

freeza do you have the SecMMs decompiled already? should I zip it for here?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
I have it decompiled :) I will take a look today.

Any luck with this? I'd like to increase that recipient number!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ir6ub9:
So far I have concluded there is either an (int)=10 or intval =10 however I cannot find the %d anywhere in the decompiled files. Natively this should be in the class.dex but I am out of my league with Java. I know Darky was able to do this in his Sammy G2 Roms but I have no way of getting a hold of him.

Yep, it is probably in smali, as none of the obvious methods have done anything at all. I'm about to make this my priority........ :P

How about a way to allow nfc use with screen off?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ir6ub9:
try this thread for sprint:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1740703&highlight=nfc

Some ROMS already have them baked in like Blazer just check the OP of your ROM's site.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] peanut1596:
I tried that one but it didn't work. And blazer rom doesn't have it set so I can use it without turning on the screen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ir6ub9:
Just curious how are you using it? Google wallet or something else? What were you doing to confirm it wasn't working?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] peanut1596:
I bought nfc tags and I had programmed a few. They worked fine but after I flashed the mod, the whole nfc option was gone and I had to flash my nandroid that I made right before.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ir6ub9:
I think I read you have to be on baseband LEN. What is your baseband version?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mmayo01:
I found a good option to change in the feature.xml file.

Under <!-- Email -->

<CscFeature_Email_UseFixedBgColorAsWhite>true</CscFeature_Email_UseFixedBgColorAsWhite>

If you change the "true" to "false" then the background color of the Email app will be black.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
This has been a great thread! Im soaking it in.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
I can probably make the nfc with screen off work for LG8 if I can grab a copy that worked for earlier versions. Should be as easy as diffing the file and implementing any changes.

As for the recipient limitation, It resides in smali even though the CSC option for it is there, it has no effect. I should be able to narrow it down and figure out how to increase it soon. But I've been trying to do the following for the past few days:

-disable the need to reboot to change from cdma only to cdma/lte & vice versa (I don't have LTE in my area so I can't test out any fixes I do)

-roam only

-truly uncompressed mms
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] avd:
Props freza

Can anyone confirm the mods in the first post work on a Sprint model?

All I got working was the shutter menu, and it didn't do anything. I would like to link more than 5 contact entries but tbe mod didn't do anything for me. Not did the camera in cal.

Also I have a feature.xml and a feature.xml. file in my csc directory.

Thanks in advance for help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidGnome:
I can confirm the Contact mod works on Sprint.. I'm using it now.

I just added the line as indicated.. moved it to my system/csc directory and rebooted. No clue why you have TWO files.. you should only have one and it's name is "feature.xml"

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] danya247:
I have sprint and I was not able to get the contact increased to 45. I put the two line text that was given to have the option added and put 45 in the bracket and change the number a few lines below to 45 as well but I still get the 10 contact limit when attempting to send a group message.

The camera shutter sound I just changed the .org to .bak and that cleared the sound.

The copy and past that I did into the csa put a space after the underscore that I didn't catch at first but fixed that but after that it worked but still no good on the text group limit.
