Camera shutter sound silenced!

[milominderbinder]

I don't know a way to silence the shutter sound without root on a Samsung.

Look for an app (don't know where I got it) called "Simple Notepad" Get it? It's called that for a reson and the app has a million settings. Im still trying to figure them out but it does silence the shuter and als allows complete blank screen mode too.

Simple Notepad only silences the shutter sound if you access the camera via the app. However, since the app is designed to allow you to take pictures covertly, the screen blacks out when the camera is active (you take pics/video by tapping the screen). So you won't know what you've taken a pictures of until you review them.

Here's the app in question: [Only registered users can view links. ]

So how do you silence it *with* root?

I rooted my phone specifically for this but I need more detailed information on how to silence it and make it work during phone calls.

Can you please post the steps? I have no idea what im doing. Oh and another thing should I still download all the updated for the phone?

What method did you use to root? You would need to flash a ROM to have all of the perks from my post you quoted. I recommend Calkulin's ROM. If you just want to silence the camera sounds, I posted a guide on how to do that somewhere around here.

Edit - I found the post! Couldn't remember where I wrote it up heh. Anyhoo ... HELP! Updating Samsung Galaxy S2 Firmware with Kies - Device does

it's so f'ing loud! i mean ridiculous! of course everyone's going to look around saying "who's that rude jerk and what are they doing?? certainly something perverted." it makes you look suspicious even if you're just trying to take a simple reference photo of an ad on the subway or whatever. i was so mad when they did the update. but i found an app called silent cam free. it is its own program so you don't have the focus control that you would with the phone's original camera program, but you can choose infinite focus or auto, it does not make a sound and you can choose a vibration to let you know when it's gone off.

Has anyone found a way to use simple notepad to shoot without shutter sound? Another app?
