Disabling Camera Sounds

Now that my phone’s happily “hacked” by HelloOX2, I’m finally able to try turn off the camera focus and shutter sounds! I Googled around and found an ingenious way of doing it! It’s so simple! Oh, and before I begin. Your phone will HAVE to be “hacked” for this to work. Here goes:

1. I use ROMPatcher, so firstly, you’ll have to “disable caps” using ROMPatcher (if you have the “CapsOff” app installed, use that)

2. Using X-Plore, navigate to “Z:\Private\10202be9“, and find the file “101F8809.txt“

3. Now copy “101F8809.txt” to “C:\Private\10202be9“

4. This next step is important. If you try to edit the file now, it won’t let you (because the file’s set to read-only). You’ll need to highlight the file, select Menu –> File –> Attributes, and untick “read-only”. Now you may edit the file

5. Once you’ve opened the file, scroll down to the very bottom, and you’ll find the following:

0×7 int 1 0 cap_rd=alwayspass

cap_wr=alwaysfail

6. Edit the file and change the above to:

0×7 int 0 0 cap_rd=alwayspass

cap_wr=alwaysfail

7. Save the file, change the file back to “read-only”, close X-plore, and using ROMPatcher again, “enable caps” (or “CapsOn” if you have that instead)

8. Restart your phone, and voila! NO CAMERA FOCUS AND SHUTTER SOUNDS!

Note: there will still be sound if your active profile has warning sounds on, so a good way of getting around this is to activate your “Silent” profile if you don’t want camera sounds.

Hope that was helpful! I’ll be sure to share more useful tips when I stumble upon them!
