All this mod does is bring the jpg quality to 100%?

for right now yes but I will be adding quite a few modifications to it. Right now this one was mainly a test to see how hard it was to modify the camera apk and it turned out to not be to difficult once I found the locations for everything

What would everyone like to see done? I have started theming and I have 1 other person theming.

 

[mrcrptguy]

If you're theming i would like to see a darker rom......more of a vanilla Android look

Is this really worth using? Just seems like on the stock version it can look really fuzzy and up close. Does this mod fix that?

up close is going to be fuzzy to an extent because the camera cant focus up to close. If someone can figure that out and pass it on to me then right now this is meant to increase recording limits and for better quality in general

Files are showing "banned" now.
May want to re-check

[kevinrocksman]

Ok the site is back up, I temporarly got rid of the theme so its just a file structure again until I can figure out the problem.​

 

[zgroten]

I would like to have fixed focus video recording. It's constantly auto focusing during video it'll give you a seizure
