Is there anyway to back up your apps and then reset? Maybe with titanium backup?

[HOWTO] Disable ALL camera sound AND possible fix for battery drain
- Thread starter kohiiou
- Start date
^^ I just used root explorer and deleted all the camera audio ogg files from system/audio/ui 
I also edited the battery charged notification sound in Audacity and dropped it 10dB so I still get the sound but it's much quieter.

Works great. I don't like it being related to the sys volume, though.
Quick Tasker...uhm... task did the trick. It's always silent now.
Thanks!
What was your task? If camera app open --> silent on +/- exit task to revert? Seems like it should be something simple like that...

Can you share the battery charged notification that you edited? pretty plz.
Did you reboot? It worked for me I only could not find the focus sound before you make a picture...
Sure, I will TP it to my site directly from my phone, LIKE A BOSS

i suppose if i restore everything, it'll bring back the battery issue again.

Yes where are the camera audio files located?
Found it: /system/media/audio/ui
and the autofocus sound is here: /system/app/Camera.apk/res/raw/

Agreed
I took screenshot whilst I was on the train and I got some strange looks when the sound went off. Quite embarrassing

33HOWTO: Disable Camera Sound (completely silent)
Without deleting anything.
Edit: As pointed out by nickbarbs, after you have completed one of the below methods, the Camera sound is controlled via "System Sounds". If you turn up, down, or off the "System Sounds", the Camera sound would be changed respectively.
This means that you can now control the camera sound at will via volume control functions.
METHOD 1
1. Create a file called "local.prop" in /data/ if it doesn't exist. Example: "/data/local.prop"
2. Open the file "/data/local.prop"
3. add the line to the file:
Code:ro.camera.sound.forced=0
4. Reboot and all sound in the camera app is completely silent.
5. To recover the sound, you can either delete the local.prop file or change the code to:
Code:ro.camera.sound.forced=1
METHOD 2: ADB
1. unrar the attached file "local.prop.rar"
2. copy the "local.prop" file to your ADB folder
3. ADB push local.prop /data/local.prop
4. Reboot phone.
5. To restore sound, just delete local.prop and reboot

POSSIBLE BATTERY DRAIN FIX
In addition, for those who are having huge battery drains from Android OS, I also had it. On original KDD firmware, no problem at all, but after updating to KE2 with KIES, I had it all afternoon. I did a hard reset, and the battery drain seemed to go away, but I can neither guarantee or give a 100% confirmation (considering the fact that the Android OS battery usage is based on %, so if I constantly use the phone, Display goes up to 54% and Android OS drops to 10%)
Did a hard reboot by the following method:
WARNING: Will delete apps and all data; phone will boot like new phone.
1. Make sure phone is root first if you want root, and both SU and BUSYBOX installed
2. Shut down phone
3. Hold on the "UP" and "HOME" key, and press the "POWER" button for 2-3 seconds to turn on the phone (make sure to release the "POWER" key after the phone turns on, but continue holding "UP" and "HOME")
4. Select "wipe data/factory reset" and then "wipe cache partition" to remove both.
5. "Reboot system"
6. Once phone has rebooted, Root stays if properly installed, and phone starts off like new.
7. I have been using the phone since for 7 hours now, and seems better.2Go to /system/media/audio/ui/ and rename following files with a .bak behind:
Cam_Start.ogg
Cam_Stop.ogg
camera_click_short.ogg
camera_click.ogg
shutter_01.ogg
Now the camera.apk sounds are completely muted.
By creating the build.pro with "ro.camera.sound.forced=0" you will only have no sound for camera.apk when phone sound is also muted. If phone isnt muted you will also got the camera.apk sounds So renaming the files up there is the better solution!2^^ I just used root explorer and deleted all the camera audio ogg files from system/audio/ui
I also edited the battery charged notification sound in Audacity and dropped it 10dB so I still get the sound but it's much quieter.
