[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hihipunkt:
I was searching for a solution to silence the camera shutter sound of the stock camera in the latest Jelly Bean leak for the Galaxy Note.

The normal way via /system/media/audio/ui etc. doesn't work (hooray tw!).

Some people said that you need to alter features.xml in /system/csc. This also doesn't work (at least for me that's the case).

So here's what to do to get rid of the camera shutter sound in Jelly Bean (Android 4.1.2; tested with several XXLSC, ZSLM5 and XXLSZ aka. official based ROMs (see below); does NOT work for Ultimate JB) on the Galaxy Note:

EDIT (24.02.2013): ZSLM5 Users please look here. Thanks sutekidane!

You need to be rooted and need a root file explorer. An app that can alter text files must be installed too. (ES File Explorer or ROM Toolbox have the last 2 features. Just a suggestion.)

Navigate to /system/csc

Screenshot:

Open Others.xml (as a text file if you're getting asked)

Paste the following

<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>

right in front of </FeatureSet>

Screenshot:

Note: If there's already a line containing "<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>false</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>", change the "false" to a "true". Nothing more to do then.

Repair your permissions. Either your Texteditor saved the file with the right ones (644; most editors don't do that) or you have to set the permissions for that single file manually or you use an App like ROM Manager to repair your permissions. CWM has such a feature too (reboot to CWM and under advanced select repair permissions)

Reboot

In the camera a new menu item in the settings appeared! Now you can disable the shutter sound. :highfive:

Screenshot:

Don't forget to make backups (just to be sure).

This is only for official Samsung JB builds.

In every AOSP based rom (for example Cyanogenmod), the standard way (renaming the .ogg sound files in the sys folder; there are already tons of tutorials for this on the web) is the way to go.

Remember:

1. Read

2. Think

3. Post

EDIT 24.02.2013:

Confirmed to work on:

BurtROM XXLSC

Stock odexed XXLSC

JZO54k.N7000XXLSC by cronosmachine

ZSLM5

XXLSZ (e.g. from ThaiDai, I guess BurtROM and other XXLSZ based ROMs should work too)

EDIT 11.01.2013:

Doesn't seem to work on Ultimate JB.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mjose:
Hi,

Thanks for the hack. It worked in " [ROM][STOCK][JB][4.1.2][JZO54k.N7000XXLSC][25-12-2012] " ROM by cronosmachine.

Thanks.

This is rightly illegal in most countries, due to the perverted uses its put to.

Don't believe the media so much. You aren't completely sorrounded by freaks, perverts or rapists.

And believe me: If somebody wants to harm your kids, this law won't help them in any way. That's just ridiculous :laugh: (I don't want that something happens to your kids, don't get me wrong, but let's stay realistic here :cool: ).

Thanks for the feedback! I will update OP.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] howard bamber:
There was a case here of someone with a phone can on silent taking pics up skirts. If it had clicked I'm sure he would of been caught quicker

From box 13......
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Pat.:
WTF .. firstly I've never heard of any laws about camera shutter noise levels. Most phones cameras can be made silent. Bear in mind that taking a video is silent anyway ...

& finally & most important is the fact that the Note takes pictures silently if you turn your volume down before opening the camera app.

This thread is just about a way to PERMANENTLY turn the sound off.

Im sure most people have better things to do than take pics up girls skirts.

* do you have a link to the pictures :D

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hihipunkt:
What ROM are you using and where are you from? Does changing the language to english change anything in that system folder?

Normally there should be a _folder_ csc. On your screenshot it looks like a _file_ with the name csc. Can you open that file csc (e.g. as a text file)? If yes, paste the content here. Maybe we can edit something in there.

At the moment I don't know whats wrong with your phone or why that csc folder is missing and can't help you further.

Thanks for your feedback.

It seems to not work on Ultimate ROM (yet?)

Can you try to open the csc file?

EDIT:

And does (temporarily, you can change back again afterwards) changing the language to english make any changes in the /system/ folder?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sepehrthegreat-iran:
No,my language is already eng.

And the file cannot be opened.it has permissions so it cannot be a folder.maybe we should access it as zip?!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dbolivar:
Awesome, worked like a charm in stock odexed XXLSC.

I think it's worth mentioning that some text editors like ES save the file with wrong permissions. You should manually set it to 644.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hihipunkt:
Folders can have permissions too. Please try this Application to alter the file and report back: ROM Toolbox Lite.

Install it, use the root browser to get to the file and try to open it with RB Text Editor.

I didn't know that! Maybe I ran into problems in the past just because of that! Good to know.

So repair permissions afterwards guys! I'll update OP.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bein_urs:
;(

Not working for me..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fitree:
all this while,i only rename shutter.ogg & shutter_multiple.ogg to something else

1. use any file explorer.i'm using root browser

2. go to /system/media/audio/ui

3. rename shutter.ogg & shutter_multiple.ogg to shutter.ogg.off & shutter_multiple.ogg.off

4. reboot phone

walla.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lexi250:
Wooah, that worked for me with the capture sound, which .ogg file do i rename to remove the focus sound?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hihipunkt:
Can you please tell me what ROM you are using? I will update OP then.

Camera_empty.ogg

camera_focus.ogg

camera_timer.ogg

camera_click_short.ogg

camera_click.ogg

shutter.ogg

videorecord.ogg

Can be found in my ui folder and those are related to the camera. But as I said already, I'm using BurtROM and I have to go the csc way. Maybe your files are named different. Can you please tell me which ROM exactly you are using?

Interesting... The JB ROMs seem to have to different camera apps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lexi250:
Running Ultimate LSC V5.1, renaming shutter.ogg & shutter_multiple.ogg worked for silencing CAPTURE sound.:good:

Renaming camera/focus.ogg does not silent FOCUS sound.

Hmm... I'm not an expert but I can try to help you... or ask shut_down instead...

I think you have bricked your phone... if its a soft brick then you need to be able to boot to Recovery... To check whether you can Boot to Recovery or not, Hold Volume Up Key + Home Button + Lock/Unlock Button (all at same time) to boot to Recovery or Download Mode... if it works then Reply me :)

"If it works" ? Thats not helping. You need to learn more my friend.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sami Kabir:
I know I need to learn more... am just trying to help others with the knowledge I already have... :)

I was also going to tell him the same thing you told...

To the OP (Mohammed Ghanem)...

If you can boot to recovery/download mode... that will be a good news for you... just go to sammobile and download i9070p firmware with proper PDA and region code and also download Odin.. (this will take some time)

Then connect you phone with your computer and boot your phone to recovery... then open Odin, flash the firmware...

This should fix your problem...

How is download mode inaccessible ?

Recovery and download mode are two different things. Recovery is in kernel. Dl mode is the bootloader. How in the world did you manage to mess the bootloader ?

Try pressing all the hardware buttons together. And make sure that the battery is working/charged.

Sami : As i already said, recovery and download are different things. Please get your facts straight or you will help someone to brick.

Put your phone for at least half hour on charger. After that press those buttons in the same time: Volume down, Home button (the one on the bottom of the phone, hardware one) and Power button. See if the Download mode comes up. Just like you did when you flashed this wrong fw.

Did you try to go to download mode? No in recovery. Same as you go when you installed that firmware.

You can do it yourself, he said that you lost your boot. So you can download your original firmware, and flash it with odin. As you did first time, with wrong one.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ted619:
What would be your perfect phone??? My perfect phone would be this creation... htc camera (amaze or one x), Samsung screen (maybe 5 inches), triple core process cuz quad core is just not necessary you only use 2 core and the 3rd just in case for an extra punch, dual gpu for better and faster graphics, 2gb of ram, 4gb of internal for apps and 32gb or memory plus extended for micro sdcard, 3000mAh battery and a design similar to the htc amaze with the whole phone being covered by the battery door made from either stainless steel or carbon fiber... Whats yours???

If u may think 5inches is too much remember you can get ridd of buttons and add the on screen buttons like the nexus and still have lots of room

I really like the build quality of the Amaze, only thing i would change is the outside shell make it tougher. Slightly bigger screen would be nice (4.5-4.8" or so). 3500-4000mah battery, non removable is ok since the battery is so big. I want pure Android so i can updates immediately. 16 to 32gb internal storage with microSD or 64 to 128gb of internal storage. I like the Tegra 3 so stick with that or Tegra 4 when it comes out. I prefer HSPA+ over LTE for better battery life.

well the net is jam packed with tuts and how tos on setting up build environments, and building/ compiling or just plain cooking roms/ kernels.

and everyone is different in its own way, but everyone of them is the same when it comes to putting in device prop files,binaries.

a little vague, and assumes you have them. lol

so i have a sudo supported device, lgp505. i am trying to obtain prop files for it so i can build GB. i do not have an extract-files.sh that works, i have ics,jb prop files and the extract script from that git tries to cd to a folder that is not there.

how do i go about getting GB prop files. what files do i need, and how do i get them and the .mk files into source in order to compile?

thanks abunch.

I did some read on this forum, so far the solution seems:

1) root; then

2) flash back to ginger-bread then factory reset; or

flash to another ICS

My question is, can I directly flash to another ICS rom? or in

other word, do I have to first go back to 2.3 and do factory reset?

According to the sticky post

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1311081

one can safely flash back to 2.3; if ICS is desired, use this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746181

which however states it has the superbrick bug at the very top.

Does that means ICS is right not safe?

One more newbie question:

In the sticky posts, one talk about how to flash "binaries" without

increase flash count; another talk about flash custom "firmware"

and "ROM"; is there a post explaining the terminology of "binaries",

"firmware", "ROM"? I know there is a modem firmware, and kernel

in the android. is a post which could help me get my head clear

on this jargon?

Thanks a lot!

Even simpler would be to root using Exynos Abuse then use Mobile Odin to flash Siyah 4.3.3 zImage so you have CWM and then you can use it to flash stuff. Once you have siyah you can factory reset.

Update: Per T-Mobile the latest update [T889UVALL4] should fix the Exynos exploit along with other bug fixes.

https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4962?noredirect=true

This can be verified by installing Exynos Abuse application after the latest OTA update has been applied and see if the exynos abuse app still works.

Samsung has started pushing a fix for Exynous exploit via OTA update. So far it only fixes the SIII and the update is available in UK only.
