An Xposed/LSPosed module that replaces the Google Camera shutter sound with your own audio clip.

Source code: https://github.com/vitalto/gcam-shutter-sound

Google Camera plays its shutter through SoundPool, loading the bundled resource R.raw.camera_shutter. This module hooks SoundPool.load(...) inside the GCam process: when GCam loads that resource, the module loads your clip instead and returns its sample id, so GCam's own play() emits your sound.

• Rooted Android with LSPosed or a compatible framework (e.g. Vector).
• Google Camera (com.google.android.GoogleCamera).
• Tested on Pixel 9 (Android 15).

1. Download the APK from Releases (or build it, see below) and install it.
2. In your Xposed manager, enable the module and set its scope to Google Camera.
3. Force-stop and reopen Google Camera, then take a photo.

vector-cli modules enable io.github.vitalto.gcamshutter
vector-cli scope set io.github.vitalto.gcamshutter com.google.android.GoogleCamera/0

Replace app/src/main/assets/custom_shutter.ogg with your clip (keep the file name) and rebuild. SoundPool detects the format from content, so .ogg, .mp3 or .wav all work under that name — .ogg is recommended for a short, latency-free click.
