For those running CM7, is there a setting to mute camera sounds? I hate the stupid zoom and snap sounds it makes

[dejet]

What phone do you have and are there similar kernels available for the N1?

its the thunderbolt, N1 I really dont no. But the N1 is a dev phone right? should have tons of stuff. 1.8Ghz? idk though.

as for the camera sound, no way to turn off the stock one. I guess you could delete the sound file. I have no clue where it is. Got to be in systems folder somewhere. or get a new app ~_~;

[Ragnell]

Damn, Bugless beast had a option to mute the shitty sound

There is, but you will need Root Explorer to do it.

Navigate to /system/media/audio/ui and located the file camera_click.ogg

select the button at the top: Mount R/W

rename or delete the file camera_click.ogg (i renamed it).

Select the button again (Mount R/O)

and done.

People also use Tasker to do it when the camera is open.

[Ragnell]

Is tasker a app?

[shaddix]

lot of new kernels are out, id look at backing up and getting a new one. help battery life a lot.

I'm running adrynalyn's 1ghz kernel atm. I don't really know any of these devs reputations with this stuff and so far there doesn't seem to be a de facto kernel or two for best battery life.

No way to disable. The sound file is camera_click.ogg. this either has to be deleted, or adjusted in order to disable the sound. I'd recommend adjusting in a media editor to be silent. ADB pull, adjust, ADB push, reboot.

I could swear you just turn down the volume to silent on the phone and it muted the camera.

Nope, I have it on Silent profile atm, and it still makes sounds in other programs and the camera when Im in class

[Seanr]

The Media volume is down?

[Ragnell]

You have to do that manually and its not in the profile to edit

[Seanr]

Thats what I meant

[Ragnell]

then it mutes everything else, i dont want that

good read, and it was a long time coming. At the same time, the devs are still finding ways to crack phones.

I have not been keeping up with the droidx, but a few weeks back they seemed to be very close to cracking the bootloder.

They aren't any closer to cracking the bootloader... the guy was trolling everyone... lol

tasker is an app.

you would set it to mute when the camera is open

untrue, the sony bootloader was bypassed this week. using kexec (which was a method being worked on for moto/htc phones). once people take a look at how it was done for sony, it shouldnt be much longer.

Hmm same processor as the N1. I'll give XDA a look see... Thanks.

Oh lord thanks for the above tip. Been wanting to mute that sound forever.

Thunderbolt uses a second generation snapdragon. I believe its slightly diferent than the N1/Evo/Incredible proccessor

What I meant was the keys posted a couple weeks ago for the DROIDX was just someone trolling. I know Project Bootloader Freedom has been working on kexec for a long time. Drivers just need to be written but nobody wants to write them

Thinking about finally getting an Android phone really soon. What's the average life for a phone like the Evo, Nexus S or any other Android phone? Friend of mine letting me use his HTC Hero since he doesn't use anymore so I can get used to the OS. I rooted it and installed Gingerbread on it and it runs okay but with nearly nothing running, battery life is like 3hr. This is with most things turned off. Only apps running are beautiful widgets and ZDBox majority of the time.

Also, best screen size and keyboard for someone w/ fat fingers? I currently have an iPhone and the keyboard's great but using the Hero, I have to use the edge of my fingernails at times to accurately type on the on-screen KB.
