Which rom do you use?

I have only having it confirmed on ME2 deodexed.. That's why I need people to try so I know :)

Why was your backup unsuccessful?

Btw. If you get your backup or an apk working... You can send me that file and I can mod it for you and see if that works :)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
updated the original post... that it is only working on deodexed roms.. please let me know if it works on others :)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] rickO:
Works with no problems on my part :)

I use Tasker to set the phone to vibrate or silent mode when the camera app is active. Works like a charm, and I don't have to mess with custom software. I wouldn't even have to be rooted, if I weren't already. :p
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
we all know that... it has been said before... this is just so you dont need to do anything afterwards :)

i got pissed by turning the volume off and on constantly... thats why i did this.. and i could have used a profile.. but i thought this was a permanent fix for use in other roms and such :) but thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Brendo:
(this works in my head...) You use a vrtheme (flashable zip) that replaces the ogg files (resources) in the apk with silent ogg files (vrtheme usually replaces the image resources so that you can change the look of apps such as what you see HERE)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
oh... i did it manually by decompiling.. well... i cant see why it would make it compatible with other roms..

an example.

i hate the clock and alarm app in samsung.. but love the sony one... i cant install it on my samsung... so i need to port it.. but the thing you said there.. would not do the trick... there must be something else, an identifier of the phone or something.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Brendo:
vrtheme alters only the resources in the apk. As far as I can tell, the only change required is replacing the sound files with a blank sound. Thus the rest of the apk is left as it was
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
That is what I did basically... But I should make an app for all devices I can't use this method...
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Brendo:
Ok, try this... I haven't tested as don't have custom recovery and am still on stock odexed rom

Requires custom recovery due to not being signed. Also requires busybox

Obviously you will need to start with the default SamsungCamera2.apk (with sound), flash the zip, then see if sound is gone

(I've also attached sign zip that should work with stock recovery, but also untested)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
i will not check wether it works as i do not have much time atm... but i will check the contents of the file... the filestructure in the zip made an FC on my phone when i made the same structure as that... that is why i used a lot of time on it.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] bengali548:
i used the odexed stock touchwiz rom. mines rooted if that matters. and i searched google for an att apk and replaced the silent camera file and rebooted. after the reboot the camera fired up right away
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
Guess it won't work on odexed roms then.

Thanks for your feedback nonetheless :)

For all rom i just placed one code in other.xml in csc folder and i have menu to on/off sounds in camera, dont need mod to flash and other stuff. No matter deodex or odex

<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
Which firmware do you have? I have uploaded a version for MEA and the other is tested on ME2
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
It has been said before and that does NOT remove the in app sounds! Read the op again.. !
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
Maybe it was my bad... Try this...

http://db.tt/RtvnI1Dj
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Brendo:
That turns off shutter sound only. Everything else in the app still had sound (unless you have vibrate/silent turned on)

Attached apk replaces all sounds with empty sound files (ie silence)

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] okty2k:
I don't know if there is a mod in Omega ROM, but I have the option to remove shutter sound in camera settings. Go to camera settings (the windows where you have 3 tabs - camera, video and settings). Go to settings (again) and scroll to the bottom. Under the storage you have the option to remove camera shutter (this does not mute the rest of the sounds made by camera!)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Brendo:
Yes, that is the same as the other.xml change
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
And as described many times in this thread my mod had no focus sound and other in app sounds... I even made a guide for removing the other sounds...
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] DroidSensei:
Hi DenmarkRootN00b, I tried your mod, but I receive the following error on camera opening: "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.".

I changed the file permission also. My rom is I9505XXUBMEA.

Thank you very much

Well that sure is weird...i use MEA and I have no problems... Is your rom odexed or? not that I think it should matter...

If it does not work then I guess you should go deodexed.. You can do that easily with djembeys uploads :)

and now my camera app has gone missing. The shortcut has disappeared.

I am on stock rom + cf autoroot.

Tried replacing the original APK back to the system/app folder but still doesn't come back.

How do I fix this?

Is this hack suppose to work on Stock firmware?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Brendo:

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
Apparently it does not work on odexed versions... I think I have said that too in the first post

So go back to your backup or install a deodexed rom and read install instructions and so on in the future

I figured out how to get fully silent camera on BMF8 odex (have not tried on deodex)

Replace SamsungCamera2.apk in system/app with file from HERE

Rename sounds in system/media/audio/ui

Shutter.ogg -> Shutter.ogg.old

Cam_Start.ogg -> Cam_Start.ogg.old

Cam_Stop.ogg -> Cam_Stop.ogg.old

Restart phone

Let me know if I missed removing a sound somewhere

EDIT:

CWM flashable zips

Remove sounds

Restore sounds
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] kevlarman:
So you need the modified APK and you need to rename files?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Brendo:
Correct

_____
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] kevlarman:
That's so weird. With my Korean made 9505 on MEA firmware, I had no problem using the modded SamsungCamera2.apk without having to rename files in /system/media/audio/ui.

I did the exact same thing with my wife's Made in China 9505 (also MEA FW) and like many people here, the camera wouldn't even launch and I could not reinstall the original camera using the official Samsung APK. I had to re-flash official FW to get the camera back, then re-root (which honestly isn't a big deal).

I wonder what's changed?

EDIT: now that I think of it, my phone has TWRP recovery and the wife's is stock recovery. I wonder if that makes a difference?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Brendo:
BMF8 is different ;)

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Shebee:
How did you do this mod? I'm deodexed and need this too.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
It is not needed on newer firmwares... Just go to settings in camera and no sounds :)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Brendo:
Updated to EMJ5:

http://www.mediafire.com/folder/dz4y52a6uf7da/i9505

Downloads include:

- modded apk

- cwm with modded apk and deletion of ui sounds

- original apk

- cwm with original apk and ui sounds
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
It is not needed anymore.. When disabling the sounds using the camera.. Then it is muted.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Brendo:
I couldn't find a way to disable sounds anywhere? Sure it is disabled f your sound is muted, but this means you don't need to mute your sound everytime
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
When I had my s4 on the newer firmwares all sounds got muted when going to settings of the camera.. Without muting the phone :)

It was on mh8 I think..

Does that not work anymore with the newest? Seems weird if they have gone back to the first solution
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] scandiun:
It depends on the country or carrier. Some roms come with shutter sound toggle in camera settings by default and other don't, even on latest android 4.4.2. You need root if you want to modify something at /system.

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 PM ----------

On newer roms the camera sound in included inside the apk itself, so renaming or deleting the ogg files in system/media/audio/ui will be of no use. I personally did rename the files with Ultimate Sound Control and confirm you that doesn't work, the sound is still there (Galaxy S4).

---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 PM ----------

That does works for me!!!! 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.

[MENTION=4491874]HellRoot[/MENTION]: hi, can you help me silence the autofocus sounds?? I tried all of the solutions but I still got the autofocus sounds, I'm using [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 mod on my International S3 to have slow/fast motion capability but I really wanted to get rid of autofocus sounds. I think the problem has to do with the ROM itsel or maybe the camera.apk app? Someone told me that I need to "decompile Camera app with Apktool and delete Sounds into the raw folder." Because "With new App Camera, Sounds are include into apk."

But I don't know how to do it, someone please help?? Thanks in advance. I'm rooted btw.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HellRoot:
That is right, you need to decompile and insert muted sounds instead of the ones being there.. Google apk tool.. It is your friend.

I don't do this anymore as I work too much and don't have the time

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tritonesub:
Hello, I've tried search after search and I can't find a way to disable that animation of custom ROMs that don't have the CRT animation toggle. Is it something to do with a build prop value?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
Change window animation under development.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] worhello:
If you install the Xposed Framework, there may be a way using that to turn off the CRT animation. Really though, it depends on the ROM, as I know that the PACman ROM, which is based on CM, AOKP and PA, has the option to turn it off. I think it's from the CM10.1 nightlies.

Changing the window animations, even turning them off entirely, won't get rid of the CRT animation.

Yeah, window animations didn't do anything, but I'll try Xposed! Thanks!

Do you know why it's not booting? Did you flash a new rom, did you install a special app, did you do an update over the air (using WiFi)? Or any other idea? :)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nroberto13:
I flashed a custom rom.

Actually, i was on ICS, and wanted to try custom GB illuminative.

Flashed the v10, everything was fine, but Ant+ wasn't working, and dev of the rom was helping me to get ant+ working on the device, so he added things to rom required for ant. I did flash some times the rom without issues, but the last was unlucky :(.

By that time, my BL was locked, so I had to root my phone to install cwm.

Interestingly the cwm was gone after each rom flash, not sure why, so I had to take the process over and flashed GB .42, rooted with doomlord, script, installed x-parts, then cwm from x-parts, and then flash custom rom from cwm.

basically these were the steps I was doing, and after a cwm flash of the custom rom, the phone ended hanging at sony logo.

I then tried different kind of stock firmwars ( ICS, GB ) to flash with flashtool and SEUS as well, without any luck.

afterwards, I unlocked my BL, flashed cusotm kernel with flashtool ( containing cwm ) , then flash a version of the illuminative custom rom which was working before, but still the sam. somebody then advised to flash again a stock ftf, I did a stock GB .42, but still the same.

now, cwm is gone, as stock kernel overwrote the custom one.

That's the story :(.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] eswawan:
As i remember i can enable usb debug even phone not boot to system. By charging phone with pc(not standard charger) then hold power button and at windows(or else) will ask for driver

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Hmm okay you could try to flash the unbricking ftf (you can find it in someguyfromhell's sticked thread) and afterwards stock gingerbread or ics again, but I don't know if that could work or maybe make it even worse (normally it's to unbrick if you did an ota update on unlocked bootloader, but let's see). Maybe it's worth a try ;)

The problem about cwm that's gone: if you are still able to boot into fastboot mode, you can flash another kernel and for example try to install cyanogenmod or any other rom. Just try cm10 or cm10.1. Maybe in the end a rom will boot :)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nroberto13:
tried, and still the same.

The only reason I can think of is that I may forgot once to enable usb debugging, and used flashtool with usb debugging off. could that lead to this kind of issues?

How could I enable usb debugging, without being able to start the phone OS?

tried eswawan's advise, but didn't work.

PS. when I connect the phone in flash mode, flashtool says phone connected with USB debugging off.
