Cool - I done this and it works a treat!!

**EDIT: This post refers to a mod which activates an unused menu option to switch off the shutter sound. Other sounds in the camera app will still be present. Thought I'd clarify this in case of any confusion. :)

Just in case anyone else wants to do this (I think this would be the 'correct' method of applying this fix as opposed to removing the sound file or muting your phone!), then here is a little guide.

Root access required of course, and I used Root Explorer to do the following:

In Root Explorer, navigate to the following location:

/system/csc and look for a file called 'others.xml'.

Long-press on this file and select 'Open With', and then select 'Text Editor'.

Scroll all of the way to the end and look for the following:

</FeatureSet>

</SamsungMobileFeauture>

Insert the following line just before the </FeatureSet> code.

<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>

Then pressing the 'Back' button will automatically save the file and back-up the original in the folder.

Restart your phone.

Now when you go into the camera, tap on the settings, so you get camera settings, video settings, and the general settings in a pop-up, press the settings icon/tab and scroll down and you can now select to toggle the sound on/off (second-last option).

Thanks to all above for guiding me to this little fix, it takes no time at all to apply. The camera sound was annoying me a bit and was surprised to see it wasn't a supplied function.

To revert, simply go back to the file you edited, delete it, then remove the '.bak' from the backed-up file.

:cool:

And all credit to the original Dev. for the code for this mod, at this thread:

The CSC mod does not work for me. "/system/csc" does not exist on my i9505. Tried the app that does the CSC edits and still no go. Deleted the media/ui files and the camera focus sound is still there.

The only way that I can silence the camera is to place the phone is silent mode.

Anyone have any ideas for a fix?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] nniicckkss:
I'm not familiar with the various rom folder structures, but I get the impression this one is pretty universal...

However, if you post your rom version then maybe someone can help you.

Also, if you deleted the sound file, did you reboot afterwards?

Thanks bro works awesome on omega rom.

Swyped on my SGS4
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] lambstone:
I was issued an Australian unbranded i9505 and flashed Omega3.0 which I gather already has the no-shutter mod implemented. However, the focus sound still remained. I did rebooted heaps afterwards and it was still the same.

There's no CSC folder anywhere that I can find.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] nniicckkss:
The OP's topic of this thread is to remove the shutter sound (press the button to take a photo), not the focus sound. So the fix that is being discussed prior to your posts are not relevant to the focus sound.

[MENTION=4678637]MRDOCA[/MENTION] who posted before your above quoted message is on Omega and seems to think the shutter fix worked for him, so he must have found the correct folder location. But even so, this won't help you with the focus sound...

If you've found the shutter sound file in the media/ui folder and have rebooted, do you have custom recovery installed, can you wipe caches and reboot?

I'm out of ideas other than this, maybe someone else will recognise your problem and offer better assistance.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
Mine removes all sounds of the camera :)

You should go for the camera_ focus file as shown in my picture
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
Read it again...I did not mention anything about shutter.. But camera sounds and that means all camera sounds :) I have no sounds in my camera
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] nniicckkss:
My bad... :o

The shutter fix was a good one though! :D
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
Indeed... :)

I flashed a new Rom... So I am on this again myself hehe
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
If you mean the little beep on focus..I don't know how to remove that... I did not notice that before... Will look at it... But maybe it is an in-app file
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] lambstone:
Yeah, that beep. I wonder if any other users have the same issue as me.

Meanwhile, I created a tasker profile to automatically toggle silent mode when using the camera. Not an ideal fix but works.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
I think we all do have that problem...I will see if I am able to decompile it later and if there are sounds then remove them... But last time I decompiled it had java errors... Will see if I get the time though :)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] lambstone:
Shucks. Looks like samsung has embedded the sound in the app itself post sgs2
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
Yeah... I believe so too... Hope it will work for me later.... Or else we are stuck with that sound
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] lambstone:
Yeah, I can always share my tasker profile here if people want to use it.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
if you upload it... i will add a link to your post and credit you of course :)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
hi again

i have made a mod... without the damn focus sound...

link to my mod.

tell me if it works for you.. it works on mine :D
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] k33nny:
When pressing the Mode button and selecting which mode, there's that sound when going through those different modes. Also, when pressing the setting button, there is also a sound, anyone know what these two sound files are? Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] DroidSensei:
using the nniicckkss method I removed this sound too.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
you can also use my new mod.. which has no sounds whatsoever... no focus sound, no settings sound, no mode sound etc..

here it is :)

enjoy and tell me what you think :) the good part is you can use in future roms aswell by copying the one file :)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
yes and that way did not eliminate the focus sound and the other in app sounds.. right?

my mod of the camera does... it is here.

Does anybody know how to disable/delete the burst mode shutter sound?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] crackedtooth:
The shuttersound code does NOT work on rooted I9195.

Or well.. it works as in showing the option in the camera... BUT its impossible to enable the sound off.

although the code DOES indeed show the shutter sound as a menu option.... it cannot be activated in the camera settings

so FYI... that's for a stock rom rooted I9195 with cwd

---------- Post added at 10:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 AM ----------

S4 mini I9195 Menu code enabling wont work.. does show the menu option in camera but when tapping that wont work.

Manually changing the soundfiles .backup DOES work.

Does anyone happen to know which sound file is the two little beeps when you plug the phone in charging cable?

That's the one I want to
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] norml:
Delete or rename:

camera_click.ogg

Camera_click_short.ogg

Shutter.ogg

Shutter_multiple.ogg

located in /system/media/audio/ui

Worked for both the Samsung Camera and GE Camera for me.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] crackedtooth:
Charge_connection I think is the right one

Very nice to have off when going to bed later than the spouse

;o)

Good one to add to the list in the first posting imo
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] crackedtooth:
Indeed.. manual renaming the sound files works.

Changing the other.xml file adding the shutter sound menu (true) does not.

Thanks for replying, hope it helps others as well.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] norml:
Initially when I deleted the ogg files, it didn't work. After I made a feature.xml, it worked. So in my case it's the combination of making a xml file and deleting those ogg's.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
Because some sound are in app and others are not... :)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rebeldevel:
If your device doesn't have the /system/csc directory, do the following:

- Create the others.xml file in your computer (it is easier to type in a computer :laugh:) using a good text editor like Notepad++ (Windows) or Sublime Text (multiplatform) with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<SamsungMobileFeauture>
<FeatureSet>
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
</FeatureSet>
</SamsungMobileFeauture>

- Copy it to your device (anywhere, doesn't matter, you will move it to the correct place later)

- In the device, create the /system/csc directory

- Set directory permissions to rwxr-x-r-x

- Move the others.xml file to the /system/csc directory

- Set file permissions to rw-r--r--

- Reboot

- Open the Camera app, go to the configuration options and disable the camera sounds

I used the Root Explorer application to perform all the steps in the device.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
And as said before.. This does not eliminate the focus sound etc...
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rebeldevel:
Not in my case. :) All sounds removed.

I also recommend to delete all camera*.ogg and shutter*.ogg files mentioned previously in this thread.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
For the new version I have seen the ability to remove all sounds in the settings of the camera.

Just press the menu button and then find the shutter sound on / off.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Lozus:
Hello.

I have removed all camera sounds, but I still have shutter sound.

PLS help.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] scandiun:
Good, but before step 2 you must add "Mount R/W" on Root Explorer, otherwise the changes won't be saved.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] senszn:
Hi HellRoot

I also have the same issue as DevilzGtr. I have renamed all the files with extension .backup but the burst/multiple shutter sound still makes a sound.

The odd thing is the shutter sound has been removed successfully using the the same method but for some reason the multiple shutter sound still makes a sound.

Also, the auto focus and auto focus error still make sounds.

If anyone could explain what's going on it would be much appreciated.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
of course... i dont have the phone anymore... but you need to remove them from the app... look in my other thread with the camera sounds...

or else just mute your phone when taking pictures ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] scandiun:
Was said that the sounds are inside the camera apk also, so you can't disable them.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
you cant disable them.. but you can mute them... download my file... take the ogg files from that one and replace them to the new version... :) muted camera :D
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] scandiun:
My rom is stock, while the mod is intended for deodexed roms.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] V3rsus1:
Thanks guys!
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] quarky42:
Edit: I removed the information. After someone tested it on a different version (non-Verizon) I realize now that what I figured out is Verizon specific. I'll go put it in the proper place and give credit back to where I got the inspiration.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] oracle01642:
Thanks, but there is no 'feature.xml' in system/csc folder? Not on my I9505 running 4.4.2 BTU anyway.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] quarky42:
Thanks for confirming that. This means that this is specific to the Verizon 4.4.2 NC5 version. I'll go back and get it into the appropriate thread over there.

(I didn't realize I was in the non-verizon section because I had been searching for a shutter sound mod for my phone and came across the info I quoted above.)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] oracle01642:
I managed to disable the shutter sound thanks to post #8
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Midas_5429:
I enabled the shutter sound menu by changing CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu 'false' to 'true',

but the 'off' option cannot be chosen in the menu.

Then I succeeded disabling the shutter sound by renaming the .ogg files, but, the sound on manual focus

remained.

Changing <ShutterSound>on</Shuttersound> to <ShutterSound>off</Shuttersound> in the system/csc/customer.xml

file, fixed this problem.

Enabling the shutter sound menu, and renaming the .ogg files, should not be necessary using this method to

disable the camera sounds.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] scandiun:
Finally got it working. It mutes both the shutter and the autofocus sounds. Tested on Galaxy S4 with android 4.3 and 4.4.2.

You need two things for that:

- At "/system/build.prop" you must have the line "ro.camera.sound.forced=0" or don't have it at all, but not set to 1 or camera will crash when opening it.

- At "/system/csc/feature.xml" have something like this:

<SamsumgMobileFeature>
<FeatureSet>
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
</FeatureSet/>
</SamsumgMobileFeature>

I've noticed that 4.4.2 doesn't have the feature.xml file. Just create it. Root Explorer has an option to do so directly.

- Then reboot before testing camera.

NOTE: I've noticed that some xml files have the string

Feauture

instead of Feature, or

Samsumg

instead of Samsung, so I changed it properly when I found it (and it works). It's probably a typo from the developers. This may be the cause why the file modification is not working for a lot of users but can't confirm.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] samsungs3android:
Camera shutter silence =sucess! Camera focus sound = nope =/

Hi, thanks for the tip but I carefully tried your method but it does not work? Are there other chances of solution/fix for silencing the camera autofocus/focus sounds?? I have the [Touchwiz Android 4.4.4] back-to-n00t ROM and I have an option of on/off camera shutter sounds. But the problem is that its not functioning no matter what I do. I currently installed Note 2 Camera on my International S3 to have slow/fast motion capability but I really wanted to get rid of autofocus sounds, can someone recommend me a mod that can silence the camera sounds beforehand but also has the fast/slo motion capabilities or maybe some other tips? I tried renaming the ui sounds but it has no effect for autofocus sounds. I think the real problem here is the rom itself but that is the best rom I've ever experienced using and I like it so please help. :( Tnx in advance!
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] edzamber:
You need to decompile Camera app with Apktool and delete Sounds into the raw folder. With new App Camera, Sounds are include into apk.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] samsungs3android:
hi, can you give me a step-by-step guide on doing that method?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] crystalclear30:
Thank you for posting this, it works really well.

Please remember to set permissions on the file after you've saved a new copy to your phone.

Also, I had to modify the default file in the /csc folder plus the one from my carrier.

It worked like a charm.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] avigade:
i think for almost all xperia CM10 GSM errors it might work...

Any how the good news is that the new FXP223 CM10 has solved the GSM fix and you need not flash ICS just to make sure GSM is working...

Here is the changelog from FreeXperia site:

FXP223

- 3.4 kernel (J)

- GSM fix (J)

- Speaker in call (Tipo,Miro,J,E)

- Overclock (P,U,Sola,Go)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Shenzakai:
Yes, according to FXP project site with the recently released FXP223 you shouldn't need to install stock ICS anymore. I've the GSM error by myself and fixed it by the workaround. Didn't get the chance of updating to 223, but will do it this evening.

BTW: how can I update FXP without losing all my userdata, apps etc.?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Demonday123:
Just now I updated FXP223 CM10 with Xperia J Jelly Bean Firmware (11.2.A.0.31) but still no GSM? How to fix it? -_-
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Shenzakai:
I'm still experiencing the issue with FXP223. First updated from FXP222, then did a clean install even with stock ICS prior to it. Wiped cache/data etc., nothing fixed the issue. The boot logo looks totally weird with glitches and strange colors.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] dave96m:
What's the workaround that you fixed your GSM by? Please tell me, I've updated to 223 and there's no fixes at all. And, if you already have FXP installed on your device, let's say FXP222 and want to upgrade, just do it. You won't lose anything, but just in case make a backup. The whole process of upgrading from FXP222 to FXP223 is very easy. Download FXP223, transfer to your SD Card or Internal, reboot your device to recovery, backup to ext_card or SD card just in case something goes wrong, after the backup is done, choose install zip, install from SD Card or ext_card depending on where you transferred the zip file and install it. Then reboot to system and you'll see a progress bar telling you about optimizing apps etc.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Shenzakai:
Thanks for the information about the update process! Appreciate that a lot.

FXP and a user here in the General board said that you have to install stock ICS firmware from Sony first, start it and finish the setup wizard at launch and then just turn off your device and start with flashing the FXP kernel and CM10. Afterwards wipe cache via recovery and reboot. This worked for me with FXP222. According to FXP this should be fixed with FXP223 but feel free to try it anyhow.
