Didn't work for me on rooted sgs2 running criskelo pics v05

Focus sound is still there. Nothing can change this. Searched this and about a billion other forums. Even some solutions that people claim work, do not. This included.

My Samsung Galaxy S2 running ICS 4.0.3 doesn't require renaming and the local.prop file. Just set it to silent mode and no a single sound can be heard when taking pictures.

Roger, you need to rooted your phone and make it sure you follow all the instruction meticulously if your phone is SGS2/ii otherwise it wont really work.

You don't have to do any of these, open your camera app then click on settings and scroll down and see if you have shutter sound on the list, if you dont click on edit shortcuts and you will see shutter sound , just drag it to the top the screen and it will add to your short cut then you can either turn off or on shutter sound.

The fix above for Tmobile galaxy s2 with ICS
#13 Low posted on August 25, 2012 23:23 PDT
Why need to root your S2 to mute your camera and auto focus sound? Just change your phone into silent mode is enough. In addition, rooting will void your phone warranty if what I am correct. My OS is ice cream sandwich BTW.

I am using an unlocked australin Optus branded GT 19100. It is running ICS 4.0.4
There is NO shutter sound option under 'camera settings' or inside 'edit shortcuts' to choose from.
Enabling silent in any part of the phone for all things able to be enabled doesn't affect the camera sounds what-so-ever.
When claiming it works for you, perhaps it would be a good idea too list all of your details about your phone AND ICS version.
As it is obviously not the same for all.

The above method didn't work for me. I have followed all the instructions.
1. The phone is rooted.
2. I was able to delete the .ogg file to get rid of the shutter sound.
3. I have created the local.prop file in the directory mentioned, exactly as written above.
4. rebooted and put it to silent mode, and vibration but still the focus beep continues.
5. Just a reminder to people who have this feature to enable and disable of shuttter and focus sound is region basis. If you think it's on your phone doesnt mean that it is on every other phone.
6. Also tried some apps, they tend to reduce the resolution of the image, you can't get the full 3264x2448 resolution instead you end up getting 800x480 which is bad.
