[Q] How to turn off shutter sound on CM9

---

I'm using the nightly build (2012-04-05) of CyanogenMod 9 and I wanted to know if it is possible to turn of the shutter sound when focusing or taking a picture?

The only way I found to turn off the shutter sound is to put the ringtone and notification volume to silent. Is there another way?

In theory, you could possibly create silent tone, rename it what shutter sound file is on the phone & swap the files. But I'm not sure if the is possible.

An easy solution that I know works is to find another camera app that allows you to disable the sound. Camera ZOOM works for that. There may be others

It is illegal in some locations. No I'm not doing creep shots . I just find it annoying. Seems like a novelty on a digital camera

ES does find it. There are two options for browsing as root you have to enable. One is to allow root privileges and the other is to enable actually browsing /system folders. And then a third option to mount /system as writeable.

I'm not a huge fan of ES though..missing some features I like in Root Explorer. Root Browser looks promising though as well. Nice find.

Solid Explorer is the best IMO

I have no problem with using ES File Explorer accessing any root directory.

I was looking at Solid Explorer recommended earlier in the thread when I came across X-plore. I downloaded it and I'm quite impressed.
