Where is located the **camera shutter sound file** on *LG G2 mini* (Android 4.4.2)? Or how else to **turn** that annoying sound **off**?
***None** of the solutions recommended in similar questions here does work. The phone looks like requiring its own solution.*
The accepted answer for https://android.stackexchange.com/q/89/68373 recommends deleting
1. I don't consider switching the phone on *silent* as a solution.
1. I am not asking *why* LG does not have the option (whether it is somewhere legal or not), but *how* to turn the sound off.
1. My phone is rooted so I can change system files. I just haven't found *which* files should be changed and *how*.
1. The problem might be deeper. As the description of the Camera Sounds Off! application says:
> Don't work on some devices by ...
>
> *LG (The LG's camera app has own not removable sound files!)
Actually, I don't believe in anything *really* "not removable" :), but removing them probably will require some trick which I have not found.
/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
. I deleted the file, rebooted the phone several times, however the camera did not stop making the shutter noise. N.B.: My phone *is* rooted.
I want either to delete the file or replace it with an no-sound file, however the location given in the related question does not seem to work on LG G2 mini.
The solution with setting ro.camera.sound.forced=0
in build.prop
does **not** work either.
Explanation to avoid some off-topic answers:
1. LG G2 mini native camera application has 4 predefined shutter sounds, with no "None" option.
