Hi guys,
I had been using Open Camera recently. I love this app. But there is no option to disable the annoying shutter sound.
I researched online and apparently this depends on if the manufacturer (Huawei) allows you to or not.
If it is possible, can someone tell me how to disable the shutter sound?
Well, there is a mute option in the stock 5.1 camera so the manufacturer must allow it.
There are a bunch of apps out there that (to various degrees of success) mute the shutter sound. I don't have a full list but if you search for "camera sound off" on Google Play store you can try some free ones and see.

I can't get third party camera apps to turn off their shutter sound. I have tried CameraZoom FX and ICS Camera both of which have a setting that allows your to turn the shutter sound on or off. On my Note the toggles dont do anything - when I take a picture I get an overly loud "Click". I realize that in certain countries you can't turn off the camera sound but I have never had that problem on my GS2 and the stock app on the Note has the same toggle which actually works - when I set it to silent there is no shutter sound. I prefer CameraZoom to the stock camera app but I would like to find a way to tone down or silence the camera shutter sound. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Or maybe someone can enlighten me on how to silence these third party app when snapping photos. Thanks.
There's nothing you can do to turn on/off the sound that I was able to find. Do a search in the forum (I can't remember the name of the sound file exactly) - but I just ended up renaming the shutter sound. I know when I'm taking a picture... and that shutter was so loud that it would make my dog wake up and bark. (He's a few bricks short of a house...)
Thanks. Glad to know I am not going crazy. I have seen threads for other phones about modifying the shutter sound file. Looks like I will be giving that a try on my Note.

Hey. I had this exact same issue. The file you want to rename (I amended it by adding ".bak" to it) is /system/media/audio/ui/shutter_01.ogg

Sweet that worked like a charm..now if only we could do the same for the notification sound that comes on in the middle of the night for "Phone fully charged. Please disconnect." Wakes me every time! I'm trying a few sound files but its a bit harder to test, as you can imagine. Any ideas?

Bingo.
To remove the notification sound for when the battery is fully charged, I renamed the following file: /system/media/audio/ui/TW_Battery_Caution.ogg , using velveteen71's method.
[Need Root Explorer, of course]

Nice! Good work.
I can launch the camera with the shutter button, but I haven't been able to take pictures in still camera modes, the only ones it accepts is AR EFFECTS and TIMESHIFT BURST. I can record videos with the shutter button... However using other apps like Camera360 or Google Camera allow me to take still pics. Could that be a configuration problem? or something else?
By the way... Is there a way to change vibration intensity for incoming calls?
Try uninstalling any third party apps, I do not know why it stops the stock camera from working correctly.
Edit: third party camera apps.
its happend if u using some XPOSED modules.
I have also found that at times my case makes the button quit working.
I have a Mediapad X1 7D-501L running a B102 official ROM. The phone is rooted. The camera app has no option to silence the camera's shutter sound. I installed Camera FV-5 and unchecked the "Play Camera Sounds" options. However, a shutter sound is still produced whenever I take a picture. This app used to work fine on my Note 2 and Note 3. Of all the camera apps I tested so far this is the one I like the most, by far. Does anyone know a way to silence the camera for good with having to try other apps? Thanks.
Look into system/media/audio/ui there is a camera_click. Ogg
Rename it or move it. If that doesn't work, you need to create an audio file without sound and give it the same name........
Thanks! For those wanting to do the same, don't forget to restart your phone for changes to take effect.

To add the option of muting the shutter sound in stock camera, you need to edit the build prop as follows:
using any trusted root explorer, find /system/build.prop
Change the file properties from -rw-r--r-- (644) to -rwxrwxrwx (777) otherwise you can't save changes.
open the file and append: ro.hwcamera.sound.muteable = true
save changes, then revert properties back to -rw-r--r-- (644)
restart the phone and a new option to mute shutter sound should appear in the camera options.
Thanks a lot! :good:
Hello.
I have seen many apps that can record screen and use main camera at the same time. My Galaxy S7 even had option to use both (rear and selfie camera at the same time).
I was wondering, if there is a possibility for an app, that does screen recording (well more like streaming) and makes it availabe on device as camera.
In Short terms - I would like ability to stream my android screen with second app where i can chose that screen as camera input. As we know, TikTok allows to use front camera and back camera but can not see screen. Would it be possible to make a so called "Software camera source" where input is the whole screen of the phone and output is like a 3rd camera on phone and would be selectable as source on Tiktok app or any other app.
Hi,
I was told that it should be possible to activate the missing "mute camera sound" option within the camera settings of a Galaxy S23 Ultra (SM-S918B) by editing CSC codes.
Can somebody please explain
- whether it is possible and
- how it is done?
Thanks a lot!

If you only want to set this (no camera sound when taking pictures), you don't need to change csc. Just do a routine. If the camera is on, the system sounds are 0.
See the solution I noticed op S23+ forum:
Disabling camera shutter sound
Hi, Does anyone know if it's possible to disable the camera shutter sound (preferrably without disabling other sounds)? Kind regards
forum.xda-developers.com
The routines solution doesn't work for me.
I already tried, but it keeps the system sound on level 0 as long as the camera is not completely/really closed and still active in the background (after switching to home or another app, camera is still open within the list of previously used apps).
In my S23 Ultra Camera Settings there is Shutter Sound On/Off switch. With it turned off, there is no sound; but there is vibration feedback, also with an On/Off switch, when the shutter activates.
Possibly, you don't have a European S23U?
Is there possibly any app outside there, which "does the trick"?
Up to now, I found "Camera Mute beta" on Google Play Store. But this one doesn't work on S23U (while it perfectly worked on my old Huawei).
