hd2 camera is capable of higher image quality via reg tweak (possible software 8mp)

---

hi all this tweak will allow the camera to save images at a less compressed jpeg rate, meaning that the image is sharper and more detailed, the image increasement has been noted though out the tread my many people to be a huge improvement, i also thing my mod works well and with it you can get soem very detailed sharp images, their are a few ways to install the mod and also a few camera settings you can use to get the best possible piture from ur hd2 after installing this mod, please read below for all info you may need to get the best out of ur device




INSTALATION only need to do one of these three.

1) edit the registry ur self and replace the values like below.
HKLM\software\htc\camera\image\jpegquaity\superfin e
replace the 5Msize = 643628 value with 746028

2) install the cab "HD2 746028 SuperFine Camera Tweak" a friend created from bottom of post it only does what the above reg tweak does nothing else is changed

3) install BsB Tweaks 1.5, y registry mode is now included with this tweak app which i might add i think is a must for the hd2

SOME RANDOM SHOTS AFTER MODE

superfine, average focus, 5mp + with quality tweak


superfine, center area focus, 5mp + with quality tweak

Have you tried it? Just being present in the registry doesn't mean it will be always working.

5Msize = 643628
8Msize = 746028

these are the default valuses im trying this now


test1
5Msize = 746028
8Msize = 746028


ok here test1 results:-

autoWB / 5mp / superfine / noflash
---before---/---after----


indoorWB / 5mp / superfine / noflash
---before---/---after----



both the after shows are sharper and more detailed i think you will agree


picture MB size before / after are also different, so this must mean its made a difference to the picture quality or they would be around the same


pictures at default values are 1.14mb and after their both 1.30mb

Be careful, this could just as easily mean interpolation of your image up to whatever specs you define.

Most probably this simply means that the camera software is capable of working with higher resolution hardware.

I'm no camera expert, but wouldn't you all agree that there is improvement with the photos when comparing the 5M with the 8M shots. Zooming in on either photo, the images are less blurred and are sharper. And if it were just a software that was being limited by the hardware, then how do you explain the 200kb increase in the data size of the photos. If the camera were only able to support 5 megapixels, then after doing that registry change for higher res shots, wouldn't the images stay the same size?

Actually, after some though, it does look like the improvement isn't enough to make it match 8MP quality, but it does seem to be the case that after doing the tweak within the software to make 8M shots, that it pushed the camera hardware to its absolute maximum performance, slightly improving the quality of the images. So, even though it's not 8-Megapixels, its still an effective method for improving the picture quality even more, right?

What's with the pink hue in the pictures? Didn't you apply the hotfix ?

yes but like most others in fake light, house halogon bulbs the pink is still their but just not as bad, also in day light it seem almost gone

well id say increasing this must make a difference seen as the values for the 5mpixels are different for the quality u select in the camera app, i.e. under basic/normal/fine/superfine @ the 5msize setting in the reg are all different their approx 85000 higher per each setting,



here another photo their seems to be a good difference look at the black key ring and serial on £5

so... don't You think that megapixel count may be determined by physical aspects like 5mp matrix beeing used? why would the manufacturer want to sell it as a 5mp if it's really 8? it's like digging for tv-out on xperia only because someone found some **** in the registry.

jeeez... I hope You'll get great results and fame for this discovery. seriously.
