Disable or change the Camera sound when taking pics?

[Jef]

Is there a way to disable or change the camera sound once you take a pic? The default is very shrill to me, and i'd like to at least change it.

I can't find a setting for it, or in the sound control panel.

try putting the phone on silence all before taking the pic

Good idea for a band aid, but I hope there is a more perm fix because I know I will forget to do that each time

Looked around in every setting I could and I can't find any way to turn it off. The mute workaround works though.

Here is the full user manual for the phone (not the setup guid that came with the phone)

Planning on taking some "candid" shots eh? eh? Make sure you turn off the flash too.

Scroll down there is a cmd to use in terminal.You need root though and perhaps Cyanmod as I do.I disabled it and it is great.It still has the clicks when initializing the camera. However that nasty shutter sound could be heard in a full active bar setting.Also alot of other useful stuff in that goodie pack.GL

THIS IS NOT AN INSTALLABLE FIX.
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

Extract camerafix.zip onto the root of your sdcard.

Open terminal emulator and type the following

.

su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblk3 /system
cp /sdcard/camera_click.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/
cp /sdcard/VideoRecord.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/
reboot

Congratulations! You no longer have to deal with that annoying beep.

(this will not remove shutter focus sound as that is hardware and not a sound file)
