Hi guys. Some of you may not have known this but there are a TON of configurable options on our GS3s without even touching or modifying any system files. You've gotta hand it to Samsung for making things so easy to customize with their /system/csc/feature.xml file.

Join More than 5 contacts:

Navigate to /system/csc/feature.xml and open with editor:

Add this in under <!-- Contacts -->
Code:
<CscFeature_Contact_SetLinkCountMaxAs>_INSERT_NUMBER_</CscFeature_Contact_SetLinkCountMaxAs>
You can put whatever number you want there. I chose 15 because it seems like a good number haha.

Save & close.


Enable camera while in call:

Navigate to /system/csc/feature.xml and open with editor:

Add this in under <!-- Camera -->
Code:
<CscFeature_Camera_EnableCameraDuringCall>true</CscFeature_Camera_EnableCameraDuringCall>
Save & close.


Shutter sound (currently doesn't work on some ROMs but the option appears):

Code:
<!-- Camera -->
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>false</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Simply changing this line to TRUE will get you a shutter sound option in your camera options. This file contains a ton of different configurable options for your phone, but beware, changing something in here could have a very negative impact on your phone without you even knowing it and may leave you scratching your head in the future if you completely forgot you've changed something here.

Is this file executed/parsed on every boot? Yes and no. I know it is on first boot of a factory reset device. It is also set to run on boot, but I haven't changed anything in here since my first boot to test it out.

If you do try this on an already setup system, please report back with results. Thank you and enjoy!

I should say I'm running NoWizAOSPmod 1.3 in case that's relevant. I don't think the shutter sound is disabled by default on this ROM, but I can't say I tested it before modding the xml file.

Hi guys. Some of you may not have known this but there are a TON of configurable options on our GS3s without even touching or modifying any system files. Take for instance camera shutter sound. By default it's not configurable, but with a simple edit to a file in /system/csc/feature.xml, particularly the line here:

Code:
<!-- Camera -->
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>false</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Simply changing this line to TRUE will get you a shutter sound option in your camera options. This file contains a ton of different configurable options for your phone, but beware, changing something in here could have a very negative impact on your phone without you even knowing it and may leave you scratching your head in the future if you completely forgot you've changed something here.

Do you need to use Root Explorer or something to do this?

This worked perfectly well for me. I've rebooted the phone numerous times and the setting sticks and there is no sound. I even tried taking pictures from within different apps and there's no sound.

How do you get it to save? I've edited the file but it won't save.

Phone hasn't been rooted yet.

OP you may want to ask to move this in general. I just tried this on Verizon and it works perfectly. Great find!

Also you can remove unremoveable bookmarks in the browser by editing /system/csc/customer.xml and changing the editable "no" to a yes. Keep in mind you will need to close and wipe the browser data from the application menu.

This just isn't working on my phone. Yes, it added the menu to turn it off and on but I still get the shutter sound no matter what it's set to.
