Hello, this is my first post on XDA
in the "Development" section I've read about a camera mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104051.
It add some good feature to the camera stock app like:
Records Audio in 192kbps/44.1Khz quality (CD Quality) rather than stock (64kbps/16khz quality)
Increased Video Bitrate in 1080 and 720p modes* (See 2nd post for info and download link for this version)
I would to try this hack, but I am confused on witch APK to download and use, the Potatoman and the hyperX-'s release are identical or not?
i believe there is only one mod as of right now. The mod you posted above is based off of the original and does nothing but improve the camera. Safe to say this is THE mod to use my friend!

Thank you!
So I can download the modded APK from here without problems? Is it THE mod?
You can dl it from here or glash one of the fantastic roms that have it included.
Now I am trying to install the camera hack on my phone, I renamed the original Camera.apk in Campera.apk.bak and copied the hacked Camera.apk in /system/app, but when I try to execute it to install, the installation starts but it ends with message "Application not installed", why?
What'is my error?
I use Root Explorer...
You don't have to install it after copying to system/app, just copy, then set permissions correct and reboot..

Thank you, now I try, but witch are the correct permissions?!?
EDIT: I set permissions to rx-r--r-- like the original app, now it seems work!
I recorded a video at 720p with the hacked Camera.apk, I controlled media info with VLC and with Windows Explorer "Property->Details" tab, the value they show are 11880 kbps for the video bitrate and 16 kHz, 60 kbps, mono for audio. I think that there are the value for a video recorded with default app, or not?
Help pleaseee!!!

You must have rooted your phone and you must use a file manager like Root Explorer!
i know, my phone is rooted and have root explorer installed. But i can't paste anything on system/app from my file/download, i could just move files around in my file

Mount the filesystem in R/W mode (read and write), default setting is RO (read only), use the button in the upper side of the screen.
i know this step, i mean, how do you paste the .apk to system/app from the bluetooth folder in my file? because i use bluetooth to transfer the .apk into my phone, but i have no idea how to paste it into root explorer, seems like i can only move it around to those folders in my file. i know i am such a noob, sorry for asking so many silly questions.

You must navigate throught your phone's filesystem with Root Explorer, find the folder where the file Camera.apk is (I think it is /sdcard/bluetooth) copy the file and paste it in /system/app (all operation of copy/move/paste are possible with Root Explorer).
I hope I help you, I'm Italian and I'm not a native speaker of English...
i am not native english speaker either, haha
i am from Hong Kong
i am gonna try it, but i messed it up this afternoon and i had to reset everything on my phone lol because the camera didn't work
Before I start, I'm not sure if this is know or whatever, but I wanted to contribute it anyway. So yeah.
There's a vid on the bottom showing the results.
So I ran into a really cool mod for our TPs. I found that I was able to change all the system sounds on the ICS rom. I was able to replace the default system sounds with custom sounds of my own. I ran into this idea when I was replacing the system sounds on my laptop's OS (Windows 7). And I thought, hey, why I couldn’t do this with my TP. So I began my research here and various places in search of custom sounds that others had used. I found none mainly because I cut my search short. Anyway, I replace several SS (system sounds) with really cool, IMO, sound effects and synthesize speech. For instance, my lock and Unlock system sounds. My "Lock" sound, this is when you push the power button to allow the TP to sleep of shutdown, has been switched from a "Click" sound effect to a synthesize speech saying "Good bye." The same goes for my "Unlock" sound, which is now "Welcome." I also switch the "tick" sound with a single water drop sound effect and “Notification sound” to a speech synthesis saying “Your Attention is required”. You’ll find all of them attached to this thread. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY CUSTOM SOUND EFFECTS PLEASE POST THEM HERE!! I'D LOVE TO HEAR THEM!!!
It's really neat IMO. Anyway, you can do this too and here's how:
Disclaimer: I will not be responsible for any harm or damage that you may cause to your device. Proceed at YOUR OWN RISK.
Requirements: Must have rooted device.
Things you'll need before you start:
•Desired sound effects. You can use the one I supplied if you like or you can use your very own.
•An audio converter. There are tons of free audio converters out there. TONS. I used Switch Sound File Converter. It’s free and incredibly fast.
•A root explorer app. It must be able to access, read, and write system files. Root Explorer is perfect.
• BACK UP YOUR DEVICE. You don’t have too but I don’t want to hear crap.
Installation:
1. Download your desired sound effects.
2. Convert, if not already, these sound effects to an “.ogg” file. With Switch Sound File Converter, simply drag and drop selected files into the “add files” box of the program. Then, on the bottom left of the window there is an “Output Format” field. Select .ogg in that box.
Explanation: We must convert to an .ogg file because it is the only kind of file android recognizes in the system folders.
3. Compile all newly converted sound effects into a folder and name it whatever you like. Something you can remember. Now drag and drop it to the root of your device. We just need it to be somewhere where we can access it quickly.
So at this point you should have the folder that contains all the converted sound effects in a folder in the root of your device.
4. Now with your *Root* File Explorer, navigate to the folder containing all the converted .ogg files. Choose one to begin with. I’ll switch up my “Lock” system sound with a speech synthesis saying “Good bye”
5. Select and long hold the desired sound effect.
6. Select the “Copy” option
7. Now navigate to the system folder. You’re going to have to push back several times to get to that folder. This is the path: system>media>audio>ui
8. Now paste the file to this folder.
9. Okay. Now we must rename that file we just pasted to the one we want to replace. In this instance we’ll be replacing the “Lock” file.
• To avoid troubleshooting, rename the file to “Lock1.ogg.” Do not forget that “1.” I did this because I didn’t know how the ROM would react to two files in the system with the same name. I basically did it to be safe.
• And Spell it out exactly how the original file is spelt.
So now we have the original file and the pasted file. Do whatever you desire to the original file. Delete it. Copy it to back it up. I don’t care. Just remove it from this folder.
10. Now rename the file currently named “Lock1.ogg” to just “Lock.ogg” without the “1.”
11. Now we have to set permisions. To do that, press and hold the system sound file that we just renamed. Select "Permissions." Make sure that the only ones that are check are the entire "Read" column and in the "Write" column the user should be check marked. It should look like an upside down L.
Explanation: We cannot simply use a file with a random name because the Android OS only recognizes these specific tittles or descriptions. Trust me; I have tried many times in the “notifications” folder. I thought it was just a drag and drop thing. Boy was I wrong.
12. Now test it by pushing the power button. If you don’t hear the custom sound effect, try doing a hotboot and try again.
In addition, you can use these sound effects on your PC. Of course you'd have to use the original files and not the converted ones. But they work all the same. I've replaced most of my PC system sounds with these.
Again, Please post your custom sound effects if you have any! I'd really like to hear all of them.
RESULTS
Thanks. I was searching for how to set the permissions. It worked perfectly on my Galaxy S on AOKP ICS rom

Don't mention it pal.
More sounds
In regards to more sounds/notifications this site has literally thousands, all in mp3 so need to be converted http://soundjax.com/ . I use " Captain incoming message" just search Worf , for my E-mail notification .
Hope you find it useful.
The BLU R1 HD ships with very annoying and horrible SystemUI sounds. Luckily, it is very simple to replace them with the normal AOSP ones. I realize than not everyone wants to go through the trouble of searching for the Android SystemUI sounds and putting them together in the system. That's why I made this pack.
What's included?
SystemUI sounds from AOSP including...
Touch/click sounds
Keyboard sounds
Camera shutter and focus sounds
All original stock sounds, prefixed with "Stock_" for backup purposes.
How to install...
Download the attached zip file
Extract it using your favourite extractor
Copy all files inside to /system/media/audio/ui/, replacing any existing files using your favourite root file manager.
Reboot
Profit???
FAQ
Q: I have no SystemUI sounds at all!
A: You must enable them. Touch sounds are in Sound & notification, under the audio profile settings. Keyboard sounds are somewhere in the settings of your keyboard app, so you'll have to find them yourself.
Q: I want to go back to the stock SystemUI sounds.
A: Simply delete all the files in /system/media/audio/ui/ that have "Stock_" counterparts and rename the "Stock_" counterparts to remove the "Stock_"
Q: I don't have a root file manager or zip extractor.
A: I used ES File Explorer. Amaze File Manager is better. You can find it on the Google Play Store.
Will add more as needed...
If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to reply to this thread.

Would be better if you made this into a flashable zip

I'll look into that.
I follow the instructions to the t and now I have no sound. Every sound option is enabled and nothing. I even deleted the files and rename the "stock_" but nothing. Please advice.
Hi,
I have a LG G4 (H815) with Android 7, TWRP Root and Xposed.
I dont want the Sound when you take a Picture. There will never be a Time when I need that fuc*** Sound.
First i tried to Rename the Files in System->Media-> Audio-> ui to Xcamera_click.ogg.bak Reboot- Sound still there
Then i changed all Files with Cam or Video in the Title the same way- Reboot- Sound still there
Then I created a new 2seconds of pure Silent .ogg File and deleted the old an placed the Silent ones of all relevant Sound Files there. Reboot
The replaced Autofocus Sound is silent. But there is still a Camera and a Video Start Sound.
The Files in System->Media-> Audio-> ui are the correct Silent ones.
Is there another Location where the Sound is stored?
Nobody Knows?
do a grep on extracted system folder with the file name , this may help you
I want to remove the camera shuter sound and some other UI sounds.
On my last rooted device Galaxy Note8 with Android 7-9 I removed or renamed the *.ogg files in /system/media/audio/UI folder.
This worked all the time.
Since I am rooted an have RW ROM from Dr.Ketan installed I did the same procedure as described above.
First i added extension .bak to the files, but as it didn't work I moved the renamed files to a different folder. But the shutter sound is still active.
I assume there is a second folder which contains the same files.
Any ideas where the releavant files are located?
S23 - call recording - possibility of changing CSC ?
I know the question is probably too early, but it is essential for my pre-order:D Does anyone know if it will be possible to change the CSC and activate call recording in the S23? (...

@yakapa40
I confirm the folder is not there on my S918B.
That's why I prefer the old way with renameing files, that usually works for all UI sounds.
