More about this app

Disable the forced camera shutter sounds on Samsung devices that have their CSC set to certain countries with this restriction

ShutterMute

A lightweight Android app that silences the camera shutter sound using Shizuku, without requiring root access.

Features

Mute the camera shutter sound system-wide
Restore the default shutter sound setting

Requirements

Android device with a forced shutter sound (common on devices sold in certain regions e.g. South Korea, Japan)
Shizuku installed and running via Wireless Debugging
Android 11 or higher (for Wireless Debugging support)

How It Works

ShutterMute uses Shizuku to execute a privileged shell command that toggles the csc_pref_camera_forced_shuttersound_key system setting — the same key that controls the forced shutter sound on affected devices.

No root is required. Shizuku acts as a bridge to run the command with elevated privileges via Android's built-in Wireless Debugging feature.

Setup

Install Shizuku from the Play Store or GitHub
Start the Shizuku service via Wireless Debugging — follow the official guide
Open ShutterMute and tap Silent Mode
Grant the Shizuku permission when prompted

Built With

Jetpack Compose — UI
Shizuku — Privileged shell execution
Navigation Compose — Screen navigation
