HOW TO: Disable Camera Shutter Sound (Root)

[Spillunke]

Hey, if renaming doesnt work: a flashable zip for you!

no_sound_cam_af_vol_change.zip:
- no cam-shutter sound
- no autofocus sound
- no volume-change sound (not for camera but it sucks everytime ;D)

EDIT: here's a extended camera-mod!

cam-mod-advanced.zip:
- no cam-shutter sound
- no autofocus sound
- no volume-change sound (not for camera but it sucks everytime)
- photo quality is upped to 100%
- take flash shots with 5% battery (standard is 15%)
- 1080p video with 60fps (standard is 30fps)
- 4k video with 56mbit's (standard is 30mbit's)

Thanks to @Pfeffernuss for his work and the 60fps mod thread.
If you want a special/different combination of tweaks, just ask for it

UP!
Getting attention to this topic for folks updating to Nougat and searching how to get rid of the camera sounds.

This worked for Oreo LG v30

Though the video recording sounds are still there (recording start/end).

Camera crashes on Stock Nougat v29.

When keeping the original camera_config.xml and media_profiles.xml, cam works fine, but without 60fps and 100% jpeg quality. Soundfiles permissions must be set to 644 before reboot, then sounds are disabled.

Are there any special hacks for Stock Nougat?

Edit: Compared the original camera_config.xml and media_profiles.xml with the ones from @Pfeffernuss 60fps mod thread using Winmerge and transfered the modified parts into the original files, now everything is fine!

Just rename doesnt work for me (H815), but what worked: edited audio files with audacity. now the cam is silent, always while AF and taking a picture.
No flashable zip. Extract and replace files manually in /system/media/audio/ui/

Edit: one day there was sound again. Fixed it with setting permissions to -rw-r--r-- on every replaced file. Reboot and there was silence.

Can confirm that renaming is not enough. The silent files are needed and their permissions must be changed to 644 rw-r--r--.

This worked on LG G6 as well!
