Help Shutter sound

Now that it is possible to root this device, I've managed to disable the sound in camera and camcorder permanently. I might post a detailed tutorial later, but this is a somewhat dangerous thing for someone who doesn't know what they're doing. The gist of it is, gain root using the technique here:

The Midnight Channel - How to root the Samsung Moment

after you're completely done and booted, su. Mount /system read/write as you did in the rooting instructions. In /system/media/audio/ui, make a directory called orig, and mv camera_click.ogg and VideoRecord.ogg into there (for backup.) Create a .01 second silent.ogg file (I used audacity) and push it to /system with adb. mv it to /system/media/audio/ui, then

ln -s /system/media/audo/ui/silent.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
ln -s /system/media/audo/ui/silent.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/VideoRecord.ogg

Done. If you break your phone, don't blame me.
