Read/write permission

Hi,

I just got the Samsung Galaxy S II and I really want to get rid of that annoying shutter sound. I already managed to root my phone, but that didn't help that much.

From the two known options, I think renaming the files is the most secure way, but no matter what I do, I can't get the permission to do it. Ghost explorer is a bit too complicated for my Windows skills, I was able to change the permission in ES explorer, but I still couldn't rename and File expert crashes whenever I try renaming.

Can you please post a step-by-step walkthrough for some of these programs (except perhaps file expert) or give a link to such existing walkthrough?

Thanks very much.
 
Thanks, looks like I will need it :)

After following this short description on how to push files, I ended up with "remount failed: Operation not permited" error.

THis Linux stuff is really killing my brain...
 
@telesien
try this .
adb shell
$su
#busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
#mv /system/media/abc.ogg /system/media/abc.ogg.bak


rinse ,repeat as require ;)
(The folder is /system/media/audio/ui I think )
 
shutter sound? in camera? You can turn that off without root.

open camera app>gear icon>wrench/spanner icon>shutter sound>off>click save.
 
This remnds me of a story during the space race of the 1960's between Russia & USA.

NASA boasted about spending $6million dollars inventing a pen that can flow in in zero gravity.

Russia replied to that by declaring they are taking a pencil....

Click to expand...

It doesn't seem to work, which is strange....

Just to be sure I'll describe exactly what I've done.

-pluged-in the phone to PC
-opened cmd
-typed "adb shell" and the dollar sign popped out
-typed su next to the sign, the "su" line got repeated
-typed the #busybox line and it got repeated
-typed the #mv line with the whole path, which is indeed /system/media/audio/ui for both camera_click.ogg and camera_click_short.ogg
-unplugged the phone
-restarted the phone and they were both still there and camera still makes sounds


@ chanchan05
unfortunately this isn't the case. there is no wrench under the gear icon, just a bunch of text options to change resolution or other stuff and none of them is about sound
 
You don't have to type the # character in the busybox command nor the mv command. You should see a # instead of a $ after typing 'su'

So it should look like this ( BLACK is what the system displays. RED is what you type)

$ su
# busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
# mv /system/media/abc.ogg /system/media/abc.ogg.bak
