Can't find any line with camera in it.

I renamed the 3 files, but sound still present.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdafalter:
Are you sure renaming was a success. Try a reboot, after that: is the sound still there and are the files still renamed?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supa2001:
Yeah, I even moved the files to other folders, and sounds still there.

I renamed the 2 camera_xxx.ogg and 1 video_xxx.ogg in media/UI folder.

Which files did you rename?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdafalter:
Exactly those. This is weird, you are rooted on bootloader is unlocked?

How did you move the files?

What is the exact path of the files?

Maybe, if they are still in an indexed dir the media scanner still finds them.

For me this was working on several devices...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supa2001:
I moved it to audio folder instead of UI using Root Browser.

The exact path of the 3 files are system\media\audio\UI

I renamed by adding a 1 in front of the filename.

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SvenVD:
Another way. Tested and verified on Nexus 5

In terminal when rooted

su

mount -o "rw,remount" /system

cd /system/media/audio/ui/

mv camera_click.ogg camera_click.bck.ogg

Not working when using HDR mode . ?!?!?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hd2009:
i've renamed, moved and deleted all three audio files (camera_click.ogg , focus and video), and i still have the shutter sound when using the camera AND hdr mode.

Why ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcastillousfq:
Any progress on shutting the sound on HDR mode?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnsonyc:
Ok guys if you want to disable the HDR shutter sound you have do some extra steps.

What you need are:

A computer PC/Mac will be fine. ZIP file explorer software (I recommend 7-zip freeware and rich format support)

Rooted Nexus 5 Debugging Mode turn on

Root Explorer App from play store

1. Launch Root Explorer and local to /system/app/ look for GoogleCamera.apk file copy it and move to SD card partition (I copy to Download folder on SD card partition which is easy to find)

2. Connect the nexus 5 to your pc/mac copy the Googlecamera.apk from SD card partition to your PC. After that rename the GoogleCamera.apk to other name on your phone.(after modifity the apk and load back to the phone it won't replace the original apk incase issues we can alway replace the original apk back to system)

3. Open Googlecamera.apk on your computer with zip software you should see a list of file and folders, open "res/raw" folder you will see few files, search for following 2 files "hdr_plus_capture_done.ogg" "hdr_plus_capture_start.ogg" what you have to do is create a empty file on your computer and rename as this two file name with the same file format. After created the empty file just drag it to the apk file that we open with the zip software. When it done you should see two file with 0 byte.

4. Copy the modified Googlecamera.apk back to the sdcard partition location. disconnect the phone from your computer.

5. Launch the root explorer on your phone and copy and paste the modified Googlecamera.apk back to /system/app/ also please remember to change the file permission to rw-r-r. open the apk and click install (it will end up Not installed)

6. Reboot the phone and open the camera app and test shot with HDR+ mode it should be silent now.

Enjoy.

Tried this; when I try and install the apk I get "X App not installed"

If you're not married to the stock app, there may be a 3rd-party camera app that can do it.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r_tarandus:
I can also confirm that this works! I did it all with the Android Terminal Emulator app. Just typed the commands exactly as listed. Shooting in HDR still makes a shutter sound, but I doubt that I'll use HDR often. Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oniemjan:
I use llama to kill sounds whenever camera app is active, works great... Silence even in hdr+ mode
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan3719:
so i followed the steps in the guide and got it working. here's the apk i made. you should be able to place this in /system/app and replace the camera that's there. set the right permissions, reboot, and you should be good. hdr will be silent.

http://d-h.st/KfR

fyi for some reason the file was renamed during the upload so just rename it back to GoogleCamera.apk when you try to use it. oh and probably should make a back up for your current Google Camera just incase it doesnt work for you. good luck!

New Camera

Hi,

is there a way to disable the shutter sound on the "new" camera update from the Playstore?

I can't find the APK under /system/app. There is only the old file (which I modified as Johnsonyc described).

Any Ideas?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroiDer:
Same here, I have modded the camera apk file succesfull and still the sounds are there if I make a picure at HDR+

So the question how to fix it so the sound is there also silents???
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
All the sounds are in /system/media/audio/ui/..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroiDer:
Nope, because the sounds in this maps (for the camera) are deleted or renamed and still the sound are there on the HDR+ mode.. So there is a diffrent way needed to get delete the sounds on the HDR+ mode.. The "normal" mode is the sound off with deleting the audio files for the camera or rename te files.. Now the HDR+ sounds...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poodleDoo:
In case anyone lands on this thread, the update to the camera app is installed on /data/app and it is named com.google.android.GoogleCamera-2.apk

But, at least in my case, muting the sounds in the phone will also mute the camera
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stdinwrite:
Johnsonyc's method can't work with the nexus 6 lollipop 5.1,there is something other check the apk.

1. the camera apk's position is still under /system/app/GoogleCamera/,I did exactly the Johnsonyc said,but after reboot,I touched the camera icon ,then the apk gave me a “the programme can't run” notice. I pasted back the original camera apk back,changed back the file's rights ,reboot,the apk work again normally.

2. I deleted the 2 original hdrxxx.ogg files in the original apk and put the apk back, changed back the file's rights ,got the same notice as 1

anyone can help?

Attached modified GoogleCamera.apk

Hi [MENTION=250260]LL[/MENTION]

i have made a modified apk (Originally Posted by Johnsonyc. Thx to Johnsonyc!!)

attached is a Link to a 7 Zip File. http://ul.to/u3e4ybhj

Inside is the GoogleCamera it called base.apk

Put this file to the Phone. With the rooted phone you move the file to

data/app/com.google.android.GoogleCamera (1 or 2 or wathever). But first make sure you rename the original file to base.apk.bak so in case of any failure you can simply rename the backup and all works like before.

Dont forget to change the file permission to rw-r-r. (see attached Printscreen permissions.png).

then reboot your phone and test the silent hdr mode :)

Also in the 7 Zip are the modified ogg files. In case of update follow simply the steps from Johnsonyc's post and modifie the base.apk again with this files.

sorry for my poor english ;)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brangalm:
Just an update - finally got this working on my Pixel XL on Nougat 7.1.1. Annoying shutter sound with HDR+.

(I post these instructions only because I was confused as there are two filepaths listed in this thread - /system/apps and /data/app)

1. Modify the APK as instructed by Johnsonyc (thanks so much!!)

2. (Do not use the filepath on page 4 of this thread by qbcgraphics - I appreciate the file and instructions but this did not work!)

3. The correct filepath to put the modified APK is:

/system/apps/GoogleCamera/GoogleCamera.apk

4. Do NOT forget to change the permissions (they will be rw-rw-rw something like that) - change to rw-r-r

5. Reboot phone

6. Magic! no sound!
[Motorola Droid 4] lowemal:
hello all am am pretty new to this so sorry if there is a thread for this some where else but I havent seen one. Ok here is the story I was wiping my Motorola droid 4 to reset it factory setting while this was happening I my micro USB cable came out and my phone powered off i was in fastboot mode. now when i power the device on it does nothing, no backlight, no boot screen, nothing. would a factory cable help me? how can i just get jellybean back on it? is there a way to get back to the fast boot menu? yes I have tried pwr + vol up and down. no dice. is it time for a new phone or do i still have life in my droid 4? is it hard bricked or is there hope for me yet? thanks for any answers given in advance.

I guess is there any hope for my phone or is it done?
[Motorola Droid 4] yelbec:
Did you ever get this problem fixed? I did just about the same thing the other night. I bought a factory adapter, but it hasn't seemed to help.
[Motorola Droid 4] BigPapaGotti:
I am in the same boat. Did you ever get this resolved? No matter what I try I can't get my phone to boot. No motorola logo or anything. I can plug it into my computer and the LED turns green and stays green, but the computer never recognizes it is plugged in. If I plug it in to the wall charger I don't get the LED light at all. I really want to get this fixed.

If anyone has any advice please advise.

after the update my screen is delaying when i double tap on it like;

double tap, 3-4sec, double tap again and then its on. sometimes i ended up tapping it until its on

and then theres the power button i also tried to wake it up by the power button and its like unresponsive or delay(idk whats happening) it takes time to turn the screen on..

i try to fix this by unchecking and checking the double tap to wake but no luck
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbonetwo:
Everytime I boot up the phone, it takes AGES to mount my external sd card as its doing a 'checking for errors'. This process eats up a lot of my RAM. And if that wasn't enough, it does this regularly when the phone is left idle.

Is there a way to disable this file system check on mount?

Using cm 10.1.3 stable,

tried formatting the card but it does the same thing with an empty sd card.

removing the card bypasses the issue but its not really a fix.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fear_matrix:
I am having an issue at office. The wifi router seems to be blocking all Android Devices (i.e administrator has intentionally done it) except for PC & Notebook. For example we have a access point with the name of "ROLEX", if i connect to this access point using my android device then it never works but if i try with my notebook then it connects without any issue. We are facing this issue with almost all android devices.

So is it a way to fool the wifi router that my android device is actually a PC and allows me to connect.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imzjustplayin:
Are you sure the router is specifically blocking android devices? Have you tried connecting an iPhone or just about any other Wifi capable device that's from outside of the office and haven't notified the IT department of? It feels more likely that the IT dept. is simply doing mac address restrictions where only devices with specific mac addressed are allowed to connect to the network.There also could be an inherent compatibility issues between the phones and the router, that there is no actual blocking going on at all.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fear_matrix:
I did my homework before positing this. Its blocking all the portable devices like Iphone & Android. I also thought it might be a MAC address restrictions but i did spoofed my MAC address of my Android device but still it doesn't seems to be working. I wonder how that Wifi Router is blocking all the portable devices
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imzjustplayin:
the only thing I can think of is to find out what make and model router they're using and read the instruction manual/google questions like "blocking mobile devices from network MXHA-281" (MXHA-281 being the model number for example).

Are you manually adding in the SSIDs or are the devices finding the router on their own? If they're finding it on their own and can't connect, not sure what to tell you except to find out if that model router supports such features.
