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 :)

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.


Edit: heres a flashable zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68225350&postcount=21
Can confirm that renaming is not enough. The silent files are needed and their permissions must be changed to 644 rw-r--r--.

Sent from my LG-H815 using XDA-Developers mobile app
This worked on LG G6 as well!
