I can add 6mp as 16/9, what do you say?

oh yes, 6mpx sounds good.
btw, I cannot install the apk. I'm not rooted, is it needed?

Yes to be root.

Copy apk into system folder, set permissions rw,r,r
reboot

Yes root needed!

and I found out that you can install the apk without reboot,
1)stop camera service and clear data at apk manger
2)copy the modded apk to "root" folder and apply permissions
3)cut the apk from "root" folder and go to system/app
4)locate the old semcameraUI and delete it
5)past the modded apk

and walla! the apk installed :)

it works for me- you try it on your risk!

Thanks for your work.

Do this mod improve the JPEG file compression (increasing file size)?
Does it have any improvements in color balance, white/shadow levels or anything like that?

It'd be nice to have this info in the first post... because as far as I can understand you ported the features included in the mod from somemadcaaant but they are not described here... And then you added the possibility to have 5 and 6MP image size.

Just a small feedback.

Thank you for your work!

thank you for your feedback,
I posted the link describing this mod at the arc thread ("for more info about the mod click here!"), and I modded the somemadcaaant coz it already improved over stock apk.

the jpeg size not really increased coz it already at 100%
and I tried fv-5 apk that can save photos at PNG format (17MB for 8mp pic) and no improvement in quality (photoshop 800% zoom)

the quality and details only can be changed in camera drivers (post processing)

not working in ARC S..dorce close

YOU ARE IN XPERIA S FORUM!

go to my thread in signature and there you find arcs version (ICS or GB)

Yep working very well with the new 5mp and 6mp options, thanks for your work!

We still need to raise the image quality some how, i dislike how the software blurrs the image when zoomed in with so much colour noise added on, doesn't make sense for a 12mp sensor and seems to be inconsistent with results.

Hopefully ICS will have a fix, the ArcS ICS i read somewhere on the XDA forum fixed image compression.

PNG image size is incredible from what you say, would it be better saving the image as a pure bmp instead? I don't think most of us would be worried about image size if it meant better images over all
