A lightweight Android app that silences the camera shutter sound using Shizuku, without requiring root access.
- Mute the camera shutter sound system-wide
- Restore the default shutter sound setting
- 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)
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.
- 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
- Jetpack Compose — UI
- Shizuku — Privileged shell execution
- Navigation Compose — Screen navigation
