Sorry to bother you guys, but I could really use some help! I've followed the steps exactly, and repeated the process a good 6 times now, but still no shutter sound menu. What can I be doing wrong?

I'm not sure. What program are you using to edit it? Are you sure the permissions are set properly, and they actually remained set, after you exited your file explorer?

I've tried using root explorer, and es explorer both to set the permissions. As for editing the file, I've used solid explorer's text editor, and es as well (I believe). I've checked across 3 explorers after, and the permissions have remained 644 or user (read & write) and group, others set to read only. Is there a certain app that I should use to edit the function file?

That maybe my problem, what two locations? I'm editing in system/scs/spr/system/scs. What's the other location I have to make edits in?

I'm glad you got it to work.





I made the same mistake :)

BTW my guide lets you use the cam when on the phone also :)
Thanks for stepping in, and helping. For the record, it's only necessary to edit /system/csc/feature.xml. In my guide, you overwrite /system/csc/feature.xml, with the one copied from /system/csc/SPR/system/csc, and make one edit. Either way works, just the same. Besides enabling the camera, during calls, there are tons of other changes you can make. Just be sure to have a backup saved somewhere. Good luck!

I edited the OP, and included a text file, if anyone wants to experiment with other features.

Hi. My device is SM-N9002. I found it havn`t a feature.xml but a other.xml in /system/csc, and there is no other folders.
So I added the codes into other.xml. yeah, it surely enable the shutter sound option in camera mode, but I can`t chang it into "off".
What`s the problem? Thanks.
Please forget my poor English:p

I'm not sure. It should work, in others.xml. You may want to head over to this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033894 They have more international users.

Worst case senario, you can always delete, or rename the shutter sound files, located in /system/media/audio/ui. Rename 'Shutter.ogg', and 'Shutter_multiple.ogg'. (Change the extension "ogg" to "bak".

I have the same problem. The Shutter menu is enabled, but not get the sounds off. Can`t select OFF. My phone is E250K, i think there is something different with them, or something.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I'm not familiar with that model variation, but the edit should still work. Check your build.prop, to make sure it's not still being forced.
Look for a line of text, that reads something like "shutter.sound.forced=1" (or something similar), and change the "1" to a "0" (zero). Save the changes, make sure permissions are correct, and reboot.

This is the link for the Note ll camera sound mod discussion, it may help. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35179309&postcount=1

There is no ro.camera.sound.forced=1
I try to write it but notning...i`ll check the tread, thank you.
Try to make the edit, in others.xml, also check to see if there is a carrier specific folder, also (for Sprint users, inside the CSC folder, there is a "SPR" folder, that contains an additional feature.xml file).

I have that xml and CameraMenu is set to "true". I see the shutter sound option in menu but can`t select "Disabled". Every time i try to select it, it still stay Enabled, and the sound is on as normal.

Then there has to be another "hook" somewhere in your system. I'm not familiar with your particular variation.

You can always rename, or delete the shutter.ogg, and shutter_multiple.ogg sound files in /system/media/audio/ui. It's probably safer to just rename them to shutter.bak, and shutter_multiple.bak, instead of deleting them, in case you ever want them back.

I'm sure you are right, there is another hook that enforce shutter sound. Currently the ogg files are renamed, but i will continue diggin. Thank you very much, I appreciate for your help
