Hey guys I just rooted my phone I download root explorer as an apk file and installed it through astro file manager. I want to turn the shutter sound off my camera when I take photos and get ride of the battery life limit thing.
everywhere I read they say I have to creat the file local.prop - "/data/local.prop"
How do I do this with root? I tried renaming the shutter_01.ogg file in /system/media/audio/ui but its a read only file
please help!

you should mount the /system. w.
write and read. then you can edit it.
but my fw is no sound when it's in silent mode. theres no need to delete or rename the file

I created a CWM patch if you want to try it.

what fw you use ? here is what i do
+ check file in system/media/audio replace the shutter sound with silent sound
+ edit the camera.apk to remove two sound file inside it to silent file

use camera zoom FX it can disable shuttel sound.

I tried this it does not work

toggle the Mount R/W box at upper root explorer apps till it change to Mount R/O, then rename the shutter_01.ogg.bak this will remove the shutter sound. You can remove the other camera sound using this method, except for the autofocus sound...
Hope this will help >.<

In the main file on root explorer (when you open it up) I can onlt hange it from remount as R/O to remount as R/W and whne I go to system/media/audio/ui it has
says under it /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 (r/o) - remount as R/W and you cant change it to anything there

[Q] Start-up sound

Hello, i have an huawei u8180, on it installed cm7 v1.1 subpsyke
i want to know if is there any mettod to set up a start-up sound (ex like windows or ubuntu).
sorry for my bad english
use this not my i found on cm forum
This is what you do.
1. Download this shell script here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10373328/bootsnd.sh
2. Place it on the root of your SD card & then open Terminal & type the followingsucd /sdcardsh bootsnd.sh
3. Now by using a file manager program with R/W (Read/Write) go to the /system/bin in your phone & make sure the file has transfered over! It should say BOOTSOUND & have permissions set to rwxrwxrwx! for this I use Root Explorer or you can use File Manager once you have selected R/W
4. Before transferring your sound file over rename it on your pc, android_audio and make sure it is a .mp3 file. Transfer the sound file from your pc to the root of your SDcard. Now move your sound file you want to play when the phone boots to /system/media of your phone & rename it android_audio you will have to be in R/W mode! Typically fifteen seconds is plenty long and just perfect, however anything over 30 seconds will get cut off.
5. Reboot & enjoy your new BOOTSOUND B)
If your having trouble getting sounds to play this should fix the problem.
Here is how to fix it. Make sure you are mounting in R/W mode on each of these steps.
To start go to
/system/etc/init.local.rc
and open it in the text editor. Delete everything from
###Bootsound - Safe to Delete: Start###
to
###Bootsound - Safe to Delete: Stop###
Delete any instances of IT
Using a app like root explorer, goto /system/bin and delete the file bootsound.Back out to /system now open build.prop in text editor mode, look for this text.
ro.config.play.bootsound=1
Delete it from the build.prop and save and exit.
This is optional but recommened. Reboot phone. Verify no sound is playing.
Now run the script again and reboot. You should have a boot sound again
working good) thx
p.s. how to decrease volume? (because it's dissorting)

[Q] How to turn off shutter sound on CM9

I'm using the nightly build (2012-04-05) of CyanogenMod 9 and I wanted to know if it is possible to turn of the shutter sound when focusing or taking a picture?
The only way I found to turn off the shutter sound is to put the ringtone and notification volume to silent. Is there another way?
In theory, you could possibly create silent tone, rename it what shutter sound file is on the phone & swap the files. But I'm not sure if the is possible.
An easy solution that I know works is to find another camera app that allows you to disable the sound. Camera ZOOM works for that. There may be others
It is illegal in some locations. No I'm not doing creep shots . I just find it annoying. Seems like a novelty on a digital camera

ES does find it. There are two options for browsing as root you have to enable. One is to allow root privileges and the other is to enable actually browsing /system folders. And then a third option to mount /system as writeable.
I'm not a huge fan of ES though..missing some features I like in Root Explorer. Root Browser looks promising though as well. Nice find.

I have no problem with using ES File Explorer accessing any root directory.
I was looking at Solid Explorer recommended earlier in the thread when I came across X-plore. I downloaded it and I'm quite impressed.

How to Change Galaxy S3 Touch Sound

Can anyone here help or assist me, How to change the Galaxy S3 Touch Sound???

This requires root!
The sounds (by default) are stored in /system/media/audio/ui/
!NOTE: This is for system/OS sounds. Notifications etc are not stored here!
Screen touch sound is "TW_Touch.ogg" and back and menu button sounds are "S_HW_Touch.ogg"
If you would like to change the sound to something else, find a mp3 or something that you would like to use then convert it to a .ogg format.
Can be done on this website: htt$p://audio.on$line-convert.$com/convert-to-ogg *Remove $ symbols from URL
Then rename your new .ogg to either "TW_Touch.ogg" or "S_HW_Touch.ogg" dependent on what sound you would like to change.
Place the .ogg file on your sd card and move it the mentioned directory and overwrite (delete) the original .ogg file (backup first).
Then remember to set the permissions of the .ogg file to "rw-r--r--" and make sure it is named correctly, it is case sensitive.
Reboot system and enjoy your new sounds :good:
I tried everything that you said and it doesn't work for me. When i try to move/overwrite the file it tells me "Cannot copy or move file". When i try to delete the orginal file first it tells me "Warning - Could not delete". I am on stock rom and rooted. When i try to change permissions to the original files it gives me error "unable to chmod /system/media/...bla bla". What to do?
Ok. I got it. Thanks for everything!! Thumbs up!

Your root has failed, download root checker to see.
If it fails you will need to re-root with CF-Root.
Very Awesome. Thanks for the help.
I am running into an issue. My phone has been verified as rooted by rootchecker. The only way I can see the root directory on the phone is with Astro File Manager. Once in the correct folder, I can see the TW_TOUCH.OGG file and have a replacement. However I can't write to the folder. I can't even rename the original. Checking the properties of the file I don't see any notations that the file or folder are write protected. I assume the entire drive is per se with the exception of the \SDCARD directory.
Is there a better tool for doing all this? I'd like to have something I can use from a PC as well.
Thanks,
Karl
Use Super Manager or Android Commander .

First you need to Root.
There are good guides around here.
I'd recommend ES File Explorer
Download it then
Open ES File Explorer
Menu > Settings > Root settings.
Check Root Explorer
Click Grant when SU popup appears.
Check Up to Root
and Check Mount File System.
Now it will copy succesfully to the system folder.
Slightly easier
No need to do renaming. Save desired oggs to your ext sd card.
Use Root Browser (ES doesnt seem to go to system no matter)
Use Root Browser. Go to your ext sd card. Long press on the desired .ogg. Copy it.
navigate to the folder l /system/media/audio/ui/ as instructed above.
Click paste. If your file is named correctly it will ask 'replace?' click yes. Do the same for the other file.
Reboot. You have to reboot. How it still plays water droplets before rebooting Idk. But reboot and you back to clicky goodness. (who thought of that water droplet. Chinese water torture.)
Edit: I attached the two files. Change from .txt to .ogg.
operation failed?

Rw-r-r. In a grid of 1 to 9, top left to bottom right, 1,2,3,4 ticked. 5,6,7,8,9 unticked. Should be immediate but if not, just reboot.

Ok thanks. One more thing is it possible to add system sounds to it? Like a sound when i press the home button?

I hate Chrome. It frozed my tab twice forcing a reboot.
Same thing as this. I did it and can confirm it works.

Any one else get this to work?
I have rooted, verified that I can launch SuperSU with no issues.
However both Root Explorer and ES File Explorer fail to be able to write to /system/app
I have checked that Root Explorer has r/w adn ES has all root settings checked.
Am I missing something simple?
It does work. Push the mount r/w button at the top in root explorer and you should be able to paste the apk. You also need to rename the 2 files that start with browser provider. Just put the word old in front of the existing file names so you can change them back if you ever need to.
Edit:
Make sure you're in the /system/app directory before pushing the mount r/w button in root explorer.

YMMV, but this is how I got it to work.
ES File Explorer just would not mount
Had better luck with Root Explorer
renamed the 2 BrowserProviderProxy files in /system/app after clicking "mount r/w"
trying to copy from /sdcard to /system/app would not work me (I did click "mount r/w"), a couple times it looked like it worked but I could not change permissions afterwards and after reboot the Browser.apk would be deleted
ended up copying Browser.apk from /storage/emulated/0 to /storage/emulated
had root take ownership (group and owner) of Browser.apk and changed permissions to 644
then from /storage/emulated I installed the Browser.apk
rebooted and all is good
Also flash is working too using apk from here.
Nice...glad you got it working!
Thanks a lot

In term emulator, su root, cd /system/media/audio/ui, cp Shutter.ogg Shutter.old, cp Shutter_multiple.ogg Shutter_multiple.old, rm Shutter.ogg, rm Shutter_multiple.ogg
Or you can re-enable the shutter sound menu and turn it on/off at will.

ES file explorer seems to have a bug for our S4's.
Try downloading:
FX explorer (FREE)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/..._result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsIm5leHRhcHAuZngiXQ..
FX exploerer root add on (FREE)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ult#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm5leHRhcHAuZngucnIiXQ..
Use the System (Root) option from the main start screen to navigate to the system\media\audio\ui folder. Within that folder, hit tools and select the "mount read-write" option and proceed. This allows you to properly delete everything. I was able to delete the shutter.ogg, start up sounds, charge sound, etc.
Confirmed on my Verizon Galaxy S4
Thanks for the info. This worked perfectly. I also like the fx file explorer, so I will be keeping that too.

This doesn't take off the shutter sound when in auto night mode.....also trying to get rid of focus sounds with no luck yet...
I renamed the ".ogg"'s to ".old"
