Camera Sound Mod on JG4 (2.1)

Camera Sound Mod on JG4 (2.1)
-------------------------------------------
May apply for Asia area only.

After upgrading to JG4 rom, all shutter event will trigger the Shutter Sound playback in ANY apps.

e.g. Camera 360, FxCamera, Goggle, or other camera program
Even you disable the shutter sound in the apps, or mute the I9000, Shutter Sound must be triggered once you fire.

To solve this problem in a rooted i9000, you can replace the following ogg with a dummy ogg
/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click_short.ogg

I do think that a driver level trigger in the system will playback that ogg upon each fire.

HOWEVER, in the original Camera app (/system/app/camera.apk),
it use the ogg inside the camera.apk.

I tried to replace the ogg with 7-zip, and resign (Auto-Sign) the apk again and then place it back to /system/app/....... It is fail....
The system cannot recognize the camera.apk and no shoutcut is shown in the apps tray.

Any idea in playing with JG4 camera.apk?

There was a JF7 version camera.apk published on the Internet before but this version cannot be used in JG4 (distorted graphic)

The reason is probably because in some countries I heard cameras must make a noise (to stop people taking photos of women which didn't approve the pic)..

Yes, that' true for some area.

However, I need to work with my Camera in office or in client's office...
Some times I have to take a lot of photo of some machine in client's office and send it to my office at once....
The camera sound is too ignoring and it may let other think that I am not professional enough....

Could ask someone to extract the camera.apk from other rom from different region and place it on the Asian rom?
As I know, those Europe rom's camera have the option to turn off the shutter shound.

I am also using asian rom so i cant help...
