Camera shutter sound

[Guest rice&fish]

Can someone tell me how to disable the camera shutter sound.

I tried renaming the camera_click.ogg file in system/media/audio/ui , but it doesn't disable the shutter sound.

The silentsnap app from the market doesn't work either. It's really annoying.

Use RootExplorer to edit /data/local/tmp/3rd_party/Arcsoft/Camera/camera.conf (long press on the file and chose Open in Text Editor)

If you don't see that .conf file, just run camera and it will be created.

Change shutter_sound=1 to shutter_sound=0. Then Save & Exit.

Or, download SilentCam. :)

I would probably go with the above method, though. Takes less memory, and is easier to do. Gonna do it myself, so I can take photos of my Gal during the night, but silently so she doesn't hear me...

Wait, do I sound like a pervert?

How about the auto focus sound. Any advice with that?

[Guest doubletakeit]

Delete or move all the *.wav files in /system/3rd_party/ArcSoft/Camera/

You don't have to edit camera.conf if you use this method.

Nevermind, it doesn't work.

Putting your phone into Vibration or Silent mode will make the AF sound gone. :)

(Open notification then press sound icon)

Great fix, I'll just add a little detail.

Before modifying camera.conf make sure you've set the Mount R/W option in Root Explorer otherwise it won't save the edit properly.

The option is available at the top of the main screen of Root Explorer.

Thanks everyone, now I can disable the super annoying shutter sound :)

[Guest brqueiros]

Done... nice

Brilliant! Managed to root my phone today using Super One click (Android 2.1, Baltic ROM, Windows 7). Finally able to remove that dreadful shutter sound!

Many thanks all!

:P :D :D

hi guys, i would like to get rid of this annoying sound too, but when i open the conf-file, there´s no way to edit it.

root explorer runs in r/w-mode.

Silentcam doesn't work for me, too.
