Unable to mute camera - Root

[rustypixel]

I have used this method in the past on both my S3 and S4 and it always worked. I just rooted my Note 3 and tried the same without any success. I do the following:

Navigate to system> media> audio> ui Then I proceed to change the name of the following:

Camera_click.ogg
Camera_focus.ogg
Shutter.ogg
Shutter_multiple.ogg

As I stated above, this has always worked but it's NOT working on the Note 3. I have tried it 3 times already and rebooted each time and nothing. Does anyone know if there is something different with the camera sounds on the Note compared to the S3 and S4?

Thanks.

They may have locked down those sounds. It is illegal to have a silences shutter in some areas of the world.

Use enforced stream silencer, didn't require root.

The app suggested wasn't working for me no matter how many times I tried it. But I'm happy to say that I've found a solution that brings up the option to shut off the shutter right from within the app. I got this from someone over at XDA. Follow exactly, reboot and the option to turn off the shutter sound will appear.

Some sounds are baked into the app itself. To fully mute camera you need to use a root Explorer. Go to system /csc/ open feature. Xml then go to camera_shuttersound menu and change it to true. (it's close to the top, under camera features.)

Then go to camera and you will have a mute option in the settings.

You can use Camspy app from google play. It works on my samsung phones but cant silence camera sound on Nexus phone because of restrictions in my area I'd assume.
