[Mighty_X]

Hey guys. stupid question.
If I start the camera by pressing its button or from the lockscreen i hear a stupid loud sound when its ready.
How can i get rid of that?

It's a legality thing if I'm not remembering wrong. For the environment to have a chance to react to creeps taking photos when they shouldn't.

I remember it from a thread on SGS3 forum I think. The shutter sound was there even if phone was muted. Only way to stop it was removing the shutter sound file and for that root was needed, or a repackaged firmware.

I think it's a good thing even if it can be annoying for some.

But I don't get this Sound when I just open camera from homescreen and I can deactivate the shutter Sound

Just rename the corresponding wav file then.

The sound file used in this case is located in the SemcCameraUI.all file, so you can't just delete it I guess. Plus it's odexed, if that makes any difference...

The sound is not in the folder neither it is in any of the folders before. I couldn't find it somewhere but the sound is still really annoying...

not in my folder either...
This is really annoying - I guess rooting is the only way to get rid of this sound?
Find that hard to believe, but if someone could confirm I'd be grateful.

Workarounds:
Put the phone in silent, vibrate, or stick in the headset or connect a Bluetooth headset

If you have xposed framework you can download module that disables this sound
