[SOLVED] Disable camera shutter sound

---

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to disable the camera's shutter sound since it is very annoying.

I looked at /system/build.prop and there is a line that might be helpful: ro.media.capture.shuttertone=0

Can someone shed some light on this? Thanks!

Just delete the cameraclick.ogg from /system/media/ui/

Exact steps over adb shell:

$ su
# cd /system/media/audio/ui
# /bin/mount -o remount,rw /system
# mv camera_click.ogg camera_click.ogg.bak
# /bin/mount -o remount,ro /system
# exit

Now if only there was a fix for it to only play when the system wasn't muted. But this is good enough for now

If you have root explorer you can just follow my directions above

Well, the easier of the two is to basically combine both ideas. By using Root explorer you can go to that exact location and rename the file with a '.bak' at the end of the file. I did this and it worked like a charm. That way nothing is deleted and a backup is in tact in case you want to change it back.

What if you're not rooted?

Unfortunately you're SOL.

If you're not rooted, someone made an app that disables system enforced sounds, and released it on the official Moto forums:

This will mute all sounds that are otherwise unmutable. Off hand, I can't think of any besides the camera shutter, which makes this a pretty good fix.

So here's a really weird situation . . . my loud camera noise went away all by itself - honest!

Before I read very far on the camera shutter issue, I tried the vignette app to see if it would disable the sound. No dice. I uninstalled it. A couple days later I noticed that when taking a photo there was no sound at all.

I have tried to change several settings to make the sound come back (just to figure out where it went), but I can't. I'm not complaining - the sound was terribly annoying! But, I'm a little worried that I can't figure out what happened.

And no, I'm not rooted.

That's interesting because I also tried Vignette a couple of days ago but haven't used the camera since, so I just opened the camera and there's no shutter sound. However, I also found out that my camera button doesn't open the camera anymore. Does your camera button open the camera? This may take a hard reset to fix but boy I want to avoid that if I can.
