Disabling camera shutter sound in Google Camera

This only works if your android has been rooted.

A Google search suggests renaming the camera_click.ogg file, however this did not work for me. The file I had to rename was called Shutter.ogg

1. Use ES File Explorer to navigate to system/media/audio/ui
2. Rename the Shutter.ogg file to disable shutter sound.


April 2017 update: camera shutter sound can now be disabled via settings.
