Shutter Sound

[dmo580]

I think it's annoying that shutter sound exists and you can't just shut it off in the camera app. The only way is to be in silent mode, which I am in most of the time. But today I forgot while using a computer lab at school and a loud shutter click went off. Ugh.

I realize that renaming/removing the OGG files for the shutter sound and video sound are the easiest.... BUT I see myself flashing new ROMs left and right.

Perhaps there's a way to write a script to do this? I'm not too good with scripting as easy as that sounds... lol.


Edit: Something like this for script manager?

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
mv /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg.old
mv /system/media/audio/ui/VideoRecord.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/VideoRecord.ogg.old
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

Well you didn't replace it with anything... Wouldn't you need to replace it with a sound file that is silent?

I know you can rename the file to something else and just have a nonexistent file. I've tried it on other phones. Should be the same on NS. I just fail at scripting.

I mean what I essentially typed out up there was what you woudl type into terminal window. Is that what you would put in a script? LoL.

I've had the camera app fc when I removed the sound. I just made a silent ogg file with the same bitrate, sampling, and compression characteristics as the one it's replacing. Rename the silent file to camera_click.ogg and VideoRecord.ogg and it's silent from then on.
