Turning off camera shutter sound [tested @ Replicant 4.2]

Added by My Self over 10 years ago

I decided to create some empty sound files to overwrite them with the existing system sounds to mute the relevant ones, (which couldn't be modified over the settings menu) to completely mute them - even if I'm on 'normal' sound profile.

I've attached the flashable 'mute_system_sounds.zip' for that sound file replacement.

That file replaces the folowing system sounds with silence under the following path /system/media/audio/ui/
  • camera_click.ogg
  • camera_focus.ogg
  • Dock.ogg
  • Effect_Tick.ogg
  • Lock.ogg
  • Unlock.ogg
  • VideoRecord.ogg
  • VideoStop.ogg

Hope that helps somebody...

fallback note
Don't be afraid; if you want to set the changes back to default (behavior), just "install" the Replicant .zip file (over CWM Recovery) again.
Over this way you don't lose any personal data or settings you made - even on encrypted devices.

Please don't make me responsible for any damage on your device. I've researched and tested very carefully, but if you want to try this at home, please do it at your own risk.

Any suggestions or comments are appreciated!
