Disable camera shutter sound - Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers

Hi, I have rooted my phone and used a File explorer (Root Explorer) and proceeded to rename all the camera related audio files located at /system/media/audio/ui to .old
After a reboot I tried to see if the sound is gone but it is still there.
Following some old guide I found here I tried to find system/csc/feature.xml but it does not exist at all (nor the file nor the folder CSC)
I know a work around is to use a bixby routine to enable DND as long as the camera is open but considering that I am rooted I wanted to find a solution (not a work around)
I tried using Magisk Modules but they don't work either.
I am using Android 10

Hi!
Ummm there's a setting for shutter sounds right within camera settings. See attached photo. Unless yours is different because Exynos. Mine is US Snapdragon on Android 10.
:good:

Hi! thank you for replying this thread. I thought it would be obvious but the option is not there for me (I have Exynos)! Not everybody has the option to do it and that is why I rooted my phone, tried a few methods (described in my post) but none of them work... damn shutter sound is still there

I have not found a solution either, right now just using some bixby action to put the phone in silent mode when the camera app is open

Really odd nobody found a solution yet

I feel like there should be some ADB command to activate the option in camera settings, but not sure what it would be.

Hi....well, it is not necessary to put the whole device into silent mode because of the camera shutter sound .... Bixby Routine does that part great....

I feel the same! the option it is there (hidden) we just gotta figure out how to make it visible. Was hoping somebody here would have the answer.... I guess the big fishes are busy

You could always just turn the system volume sound to 0
You still have notifications, ringtone, media and bixby sounds.

But nobody knows if the option is hidden or removed by default because of the obvious people trying to take inappropriate or illegal photos without consent. Just like recording phone calls, the option isn't available by system only 3rd party apps. Even though in my State its legal to record without consent any phone call in which i am a party to. Under the surveillance and devices act 1999. Yet Google decided to just kill the option globally.

I'm using an app from GG Play store to mute the camera app. It works just fine

Ive GOT It! BEEEM its nice but how to...

Its fast its nice but how can I do following:
Install programs only on sd card for saving internal memory?
stop the sound of fotocam by shooting a foto?
enable led on recording videos?
thx
To Put the Apps on the SD Card you must Root your Nexus.
To stop the sound of the Camera you can disable the sound in your settings by pressing menu.
Enable the LED during recording may require root as well. I think thats the only way, possibly with Nexus Torch. Not sure though.

To stop the shutter noise just place your phone on silent or vibrate
ok to set on vibrate is a way but i would like to unenable it...
two more issues, how can i use adove flash f.e. i would like to view the desktop youtube site version but it wont work... is there a way like its shown in some presetation videos?
is there any software out for sharing the connection (wlan or 3g) with a windwos computer, my nexus one would became a wlanstick?
I've heard Camera FX on the market has the ability to turn off the sound. Not sure, but someone mentioned that.
Dolphin browser will allow you to set yourself as a "desktop" which should make all website's show up as they normally would on a computer, but I don't know if youtube would work like this. It might require flash update that we will get shortly.
Eitherway, your youtube thing will be fixed soon.

You could program your own widget, or find one that suits your needs better in the market. There isn't an easy way to change them otherwise.

Camera shutter sound

Hi everyone.
I was wondering if anyone has figured out how to disable the camera shutter sound when the phone is not on silent
Thanks

I can't seem to find the option to switch off the camera shutter sound too
The camera setting don't seem to be permanently set all the time, for eg. when I switch on auto contrast, it went back to "off" again when I use the camera for the second time.

Shutter sound can't be disabled by default. If you are rooted, you can rename the ogg file and it won't play.
File is in /system/media/audio/ui
It seems the SGS2 has gone backwards as even with SGS1, the camera sound can be turned off in the settings menu.
Don't take this as absolute truth, but I'm pretty sure it's the law in some countries that you're not able to turn off the camera-shutter sound.
"Blade buddy" allows you to turn it off. It's free on the market.

This is true in a number of locations.
I've managed to stop the shutter sound and the video recording start/stop sounds by renaming all the camera-related ogg files in the /system/media/audio/ui folder, but I can't seem to find the ogg file for the camera 'autofocus' sound.
Does anyone know which file this is?

The focus sounds are stored inside the camera app itself and because of that a little harder to get rid of. Because it is app-related you could use another camera app and not have the problem... or you can try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074628

Root explorer (or other proper apps) should ask for root permission, allow that. After that you'll need to mount the system partition with write access. Root Explorer has a little button at the top for this, no experience with other apps.

[Q]How to change the camera shutter sound?
no need for me to open a new topic, since i got a similar question, how can we change that horrible camera shutter sound?
the default sound from the sgs1 is what I'm looking for, i found out that this specific sound is played by the system in sgs2 when you take a screenshot (by pressing Home + Power buttons), but i can't figure out where to find it and how can i set it as the default shutter sound for the camera app
so, i don't want to disable the sound, i already found some topics explain that, i just want to replace it
any help is appreciated

OK found it, but how can i replace the files with an silent one.
I cannot cut or rename those original .ogg files, probably because it is situated in the apk file.
what to do?
also the solution for 'maranello69': copy the beloved shutter1.ogg file from the sgs and just replace it in your sgs2.
Just put the phone in vibrating mode and the sound is gone

The 2.3.4 update also does this (its the first one I've bothered updating my SGSII for). I'll just set Tasker to set silent on when the camera is on, and revert when the camera app closes, job done.

[Fixed] Removing camera shutter speed for Aussie Note 3 (requires root)

Firstly, just to address some of the "fixes" that have been offered in in this forum:
Muting volume or setting sound to silent
Doesn't work.
Renaming/removing "shutter.ogg" from system/media/audio/ui
This doesn't work as the sound files is embedded in the camera apk.
Adding <CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>FALSE</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu> into "others.xml"
Doesn't work. This enables the menu option in the camera app but does not permit the setting to be changed.
Wanam Xposed or Enforcedstreamsilencer
Neither works.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way, the only surefire way I've found to kill the shutter sound is to replace the audio files that are actually embedded in the stock camera apk with silent versions of the same files. I've modified the apk to remove all sound except for the ticking in the camera timer (which I think is actually useful) and the panorama mode start/stop sounds. Happy to upload another modified one with all sounds removed if there's interest.
Unfortunately the file is too big to attach to XDA forums and I don't have permission to link externally so you'll have to copy and paste the short URL below to get it from my SkyDrive.
sdrv.ms/16gFVqc
To install the apk you will need root access to your phone and a file manager that can access root functions. Do the following:
In your file manager navigate to system/app path and locate "SamsungCamera2.apk"
Rename it something else like "SamsungCamera2.apk.bak"
Copy over the modified apk into the same location
Make sure the permissions of the new file are the same as the original
Enjoy (no need to reboot)
Note that I'm not responsible if your phone and/or camera breaks, bricks or gains sentience and chokes you in your sleep. I'm not a android developer, just a desperate guy who wanted to use the stock camera quietly for non-perverted, non-nefarious reasons (trust me) and I've only confirmed that it works with the Aussie Note 3. Anyone else use at your own discretion.
Trying it out now, This has been driving me nuts for the past couple of days,
The Auto Focus sound is just way too loud.
I'll let you know how it goes !

You Sir are a Legend!!!.
Confirmed Working!!!:victory:
I tried it and camera finally shut up . For some reason, this got rid of the "processing....." delay after every shot as well. Very well done. Thank you:good:
Hi all,
What worked for me was editing the customer.xml in the csc folder.
Navigate down to <camera> and then change
<ShutterSound>on</ShutterSound>
to
<ShutterSound>off</ShutterSound>
save and then restart phone.
Now when the phone is in silent mode no camera sound.
This also fixes wanams no camera sound even if phone isn't in silent I believe.
Worked for me on my optus branded N9005
Hope this helps in some way.
Worked for me with SM-N9005. Perfectly mute focusing sound and shutter sound.
Brilliant work !

Gave this a try. Totally works on my Aussie unbranded N9005.
So it looks like there are now two confirmed methods of muting camera sound:
If you want to be able to mute sound by turning the volume down, then do choppiii's method
If you want to permanently mute the sound (in case you forget to turn the volume down, which I would probably do) then use my method to replace the camera apk.
Hooray choices!

Hi,
Replaced apk. Starting camera from the drawer keeps it quiet. However if you have lock screen swipe to left to enable the camera then shutter sound is there. Weird. Anyone else?
Also changing mode let say for sport mode brings sound back again for me.
Renaming /system/media/ui camera related sound files seems to help to this issue..
I tried all the listed methods on my aus note 3 from vodafone. The only one that worked was the choppiii method. It let the system mute stop the camera shutter sound. I stil want a working menu option.
Samsung really know how to upset me. I rooted this device specifically to get rid of that sound.

Hi...
Instead of adding
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>FALSE</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Into the others.xml add
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>TRUE</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
In other words add true not false...
I can't confirm if this works or not as I'm running omega rom and it already has it enabled...
Let me know how it goes....

TRUE made the settings entry show but it is not changeable.
do i need to root my fone for this?
(getting rid of the auto focus sound /and or shutter sound)
try "a better camera" from app store. no root needed and works for me. photo quality and function as good if not better then stock camera...now its my replacement camera app.

" a better camera " did the trick. Thanks.
I don't have root to install the fixed Samsung camera apk. I tried the new Google camera from android 4.4 but it has sound too. Could you make an apk for the Google camera from android 4.4 without sound?
does this app make the camera faster?
i don't have root.
if i try to install it anyway does it works?
thanks.
a better camera is not so good, even camera fv5 is the same.
i really would like that samsung make more accessible compensation and iso metering in the stock app...it takes too much time to enter in setting.
is not so difficult mother samsung...cmon!
camera shutter sound is gone for me, thanks!

[Q] Note 3 Shutter sound set off Focus can't

Hi guys.
Need to say I looked 2 days to clarify that problem through topics but could not.
I have samsung galaxy note 3 unlocked international . SM-N9005
I rooted the phone I am able to access system folders.
So i see camera sounds stuff is located under
/system/media/audio/ui
the files I believe related to my problem are (at least I opened all others and did not find any more focus/shutter sounds) :
Auto_focus.ogg
camera_click.ogg
Camera_click_short.ogg
camera_focus.ogg
Shutter.ogg
Shutter_multiple.ogg
I changed their filenames. And -
I was able to mute shutter sound. BUT focus sound is still on !!
I tried to move that darn sound files to other folder - all in vain.
Yes I restarted and shut down the phone.
Also the app that does mute system sounds when camera is on does not work for me. When my phone is on mute that freaking camera still produces noise.
So to recap. Shutter sound turned off by changing media filenames. Focus still on.
Any ideas??

nope. so I read some more info and looks like camera sounds are hardcoded in camera.apk
Hence you may rename delete whatever you want but on this version sound still be on.
Other camera applications I have installed do not produce any sounds.
Add this to your others.xml in system/csc
Code:
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Reboot and there will be a sound option in camera settings where you can just silent all sounds.

All these problems are coming from the CSC you are using. ie XEF (France). It's a build feature in the camera APK itself to match the laws. Try changing your CSC(ie CHINA for me) if you want to be able to disable camera sound without rooting and/or changing system files. It worked for me.

HOW TO: Disable Camera Shutter Sound (Root)

I don't believe this was posted in an actual step-by-step guide, so here it is! This worked to successfully stop the camera shutter sound from going off when snapping photos with the volume up on my VS986. I hope this is the same as other G4 variants, so let me know if this works for you as well and which model you have.
Before you get started, you need to be rooted for this method.
Step 1:
Use a root-capable file browser of your choice (I prefer SolidExplorer) and navigate to /system/media/audio/ui
Step 2:
Locate cam_snap_0.ogg and camera.click.ogg and rename the file extensions to .OLD, as seen below.
Step 3:
Reboot, then test
Or just mute the sound before taking a picture if you really don't want be heard.

Not everyone thinks about it before they launch the camera app, and this fixes the need to always turn the volume down.

There's many reasons people don't want the shutter sound. Such as taking photos of a sleeping baby, animals without scaring them, in quiet restaurant or function, etc. Plus third party programs don't utilize LG's great camera software.

Did you know some Country Variants etc: Korea Variants like what I have, even you mute the sound of your device, the camera shutter still as loud as it is. I believe it is the policy of the country
https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20031111/099242.shtml
Now if we can shut off the autofocus sound
Figured it out, just rename the af_failure and af_success file.
tnx for the guide

There are audio files for auto focus as well, I assume you can follow the same procedure for that. Try doing this method on af_failure and af_success files.

Right but it would seem all the G4 variants do not allow to disable sound. I find that strange since samsungs provide that setting for non-korean variants.
So it should not require root to be able to do this...but whatever...

There are audio files for auto focus as well, I assume you can follow the same procedure for that. Try doing this method on af_failure and af_success files.

I edited and wrote the fix underneath my original question lol
Here's something I don't get...
cam_snap_0 and camera_click don't actually seem to make the sound we hear in the camera app, right?
The closest I found was shuter_mirror_up/down, but that didn't actually take away the shutter sound like the two outlined above.
Why is that?
All shutter and focus sounds disabled! Thanks!

Just rename doesnt work for me (H815), but what worked: edited audio files with audacity. now the cam is silent, always while AF and taking a picture.
No flashable zip. Extract and replace files manually in /system/media/audio/ui/
Edit: one day there was sound again. Fixed it with setting permissions to -rw-r--r-- on every replaced file. Reboot and there was silence.

Thanks, I installed V10 Port Camera and there was sound again. Renaming = no effect.
Renaming didn't work for me. H815 v20D stock.
thanks:good:

Thanks, only that works for me :good:
Can confirm that renaming is not enough. The silent files are needed and their permissions must be changed to 644 rw-r--r--.
