Thanks to Xperia-Ray - [GUIDE]- Enabling PureView UltraPixel on any phone - Galaxy S II Android Development

Thanks to Xperia-Ray
Hi all, I was trying to find some app that can do something like this for ages!
it is very simple trick- use our 8/12 to capture full size image- and then to compress it by 4 (50%-H,50%-W)
and then you get ultra pixel image , sharp and clean!
I use the vignette app and modded it to save 8MP pics at 1632x1224 pixels
look at the quality and the fine details:

IF you like the result- Please click THANKS
~~~~~~~AND now- The MOD Code for 8MP cameras (same trick for other MP - just locate your camera MP values and change them H/2*W/2)~~~~~~~
Use APK tool to decode the Vignette you have bought and go to :"smali\uk\co\neilandtheresa\Vignette"
You will fint ther the next file :Vignette.smali- open it.
now look for 8mp settings :
const-string v3, "XXXL"
invoke-virtual {v3, v2}, Ljava/lang/String;->equals(Ljava/lang/ObjectZ
move-result v3
if-eqz v3, :cond_5
const/16 v0, 0xcc0 --> 3264
const/16 v1, 0x990 --> 2448
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
change it to :
const-string v3, "XXXL"
invoke-virtual {v3, v2}, Ljava/lang/String;->equals(Ljava/lang/ObjectZ
move-result v3
if-eqz v3, :cond_5
const/16 v0, 0x660
const/16 v1, 0x4c8
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
now use apktool to build and use this app to sign it- enjoy!
and that it! now when you choose 8mp in the app it will capture 8mp deteil image and save it at 1632*1224 crystal clear HD pics
enjoy and post feedback!

does anyone know
when s2 shoots at 3mp for example
does use the whole sensor and resize down
or use 1:1 smaller part of the sensor?
is there any actual difference in quality shooting oem 3mp
to shooting 8mp and then resize to 3mp?

Is there a way of building a script zip to flash to make it easier for some ppl to get hd pics that way

please don't do that! it's paid app- so you will make this thread a warez! this is why I asked the admin to delete my thread so no one else will try to share their app!. if you don't know how to use the mod it's better not to so you don't get in FC and etc errors .
the main reason I was looking for this mod was because the 8/13 MP phone sensor is nothing like real camera 8MP in terms of resolution (LPH) and quality (colors,fine details)
so its better to downscale our 8/13MP image to 25% to get sharper/fine detail better looking photo in our phone.
this way we will get rid of the artifact/tracks the some poor phones algorithm creates (SONY ****).
for example my Sony Ericsson RAY - if I shoot at stock 2MP pic- I will see the Unsharp Musk filter tracks on the edges in the pic and all the fine details gone because the poor image processing algorithm- this way when we take full 8MP pic it has more details and then we downscale it and then all the unwanted image processing algorithm are gone, every pixel contains more detail and color info and the image looks much better when we browse them in our phones.
