shut off shutter sound on camera?

mute the phone volume and the shutter sound is off....as far as camera apps there are quite a few, i personally have only used camera zoom fx just for the effects but not as my everyday use app.....search the marketplace for "camera" and start trying out the apps

i dont think any of the apps offer a solution to your initial question of muting the shutter sound though and i dont think anyone has found the audio file to replace it with one maybe muted through adb

if you use the volume rocker switch and mute the phone it also mutes the camera sound so thats not the case.....we just need to be able to find the audio file and create a file with no actual sound

good info. I didnt know that about the possible law.

good idea. i will look for a silent widget.

thanks!

I thought you were joking, but sadly your not  :(

I like Z's idea, that's easier than what I do.  I put the phone on vibrate and that turns off the camera click yet I'm still alerted if someone is trying to call me.  Since both of these are a means of disabling or silencing the tone, then our Intercepts would be in violation of that bill.

I understand they are trying to prevent some from taking up-skirt and down-blouse pics, but pervs will find another way to get these pics on my phone.  ;D

here is a quick write up:

must have root....then download connectbot

open connectbot, choose any username
type "su" and press enter....the "$" will turn into a "#"
type "mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/stl5 /system"
type "cd /system/media/audio/ui/"
type "cat camera_click.ogg > /sdcard/camera_click.ogg"
type "rm camera_click.ogg "
type "mount -t rfs -o remount,ro /dev/stl5 /system"
type "exit"
type "exit"
then click home and try out the camera there should be no shutter sound.....

now to find the auto focus sound
