Android Dev - Silence camera click (needs a rooted phone)

1) Turn On USB Debugging
settings > applications > development

2) Install ADB Tools
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html

android-sdk-linux/tools$ ./android

Select 'Android SDK Platform-tools'

adb kill-server
sudo adb start-server
adb devices

http://groups.google.com/group/android-discuss/browse_thread/thread/f85a795644e65b59?pli=1

3) Remove the camera_click.ogg file from your phone.

You must be rooted to do this but you can do this using ADB Shell or Terminal Emulator. Make sure to change /system to RW first.
ADB shell
SU # this requires a rooted phone, else permission denied
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
mv /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg.old

Done!!! No more Clicking sound

There are a few programs on the market that allow you access the file on root as well through a GUI if your not comfortable using command lines.

ProfileChaser: searching microarray repositories based on genome-wide patterns of differential expression

ProfileChaser: searching microarray repositories based on genome-wide patterns of differential expression

Summary: We introduce ProfileChaser, a web server that allows for querying the Gene Expression Omnibus based on genome-wide patterns of differential expression. Using a novel, content-based approach, ProfileChaser retrieves expression profiles that match the differentially regulated transcriptional programs in a user-supplied experiment. This analysis identifies statistical links to similar expression experiments from the vast array of publicly available data on diseases, drugs, phenotypes and other experimental conditions.
