I zoomed both images in and at first thought "Wow, that does look wayyy sharper" looking at the text on the phone box...

But then I realized in the first pic the dust/hairs on the mousepad are sharp and in focus and blurry in the 2nd pic, so I think it was just different focus's that made such a big difference.

Definitely going to give this mod a try though, I'm all for less compression! Great work
[AT&T LG Optimus G] robstunner:
I dunno, both photos were 'focus pressed" to the box
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
Yes, I did. Photos do seem a bit sharper, but it took bit of comparisons to notice.

Okay so rather than replacing the current media_xml file, I renamed the old one .bak because I felt uncomfortable losing it. I took a before picture and after picture and they look basically identical. Is there anyway to check to see if I'm using the correct file rather than the old one?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Dsmforlife92:
I would reboot too before checking the difference
[AT&T LG Optimus G] blenkows:
I did
[AT&T LG Optimus G] falcon26:
Do you have to be rooted to do this?

Yes.

Updated OP with a new link for the file, just felt better with it on an actual hosting site.

Also, working on the FFC now to see what I can do with that one. :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] falcon26:
OK I just did this. But one thing, it did not ask me to overwrite anything. That doesn't sound right to me. I was in the system/etc folder and I am rooted and unlocked...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] clago87:
Should I unlock as well before trying this just rooted for the moment I will unlock soon just curious though
[AT&T LG Optimus G] _Epic:
Hmm. Is my modified one in there now?

Just root. No unlock. But its always good to just go ahead and unlock. ;)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Indeed, before it's patched and you're unable to unlock until a new exploit is found.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] falcon26:
Yes its in their but marked as (1) so it didn't overwrite the main file. Also it seems I can only mount as R/O but I am rooted and unlocked. I an using AndroZip Pro...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] _Epic:
That is why it did that, didn't let you write it as it should of been. Download "Root Browser Lite" from the playstore and repeat the steps.

OK got it to work Thanks!

[AT&T LG Optimus G] JohnCorleone:
I swear when I first flashed mod it gave me picture size options up to 13MP. Then I flashed something else and it was gone...lol. I know when CM10 cameras weren't working at first people were using the free version of "LG Camera" I went ahead and got the paid version but with your mod I thought the picture quality was much improved. Can't wait to try the update! Thanks,!

Edit...pushed it and the pictures look really nice to me! Great detail on things like brick steps and a few other quick shots I took. Thanks again

Re: [MOD] Increase Camera Audio/Video/Image Quality (Updated - 1/12/2013)

Took my very first pictures today before the mod. Liked the improvements I saw after the mod. Nice work.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] RodneyMcKay:
I did basically this same thing, renamed the original and placed the new file in it's spot. I too had had no noticeable change, so I deleted the backup file from /system/etc and rebooted again to test if for some reason both were being loaded. Still no improvement.

My wife and I just recently upgraded from our old Atrix phones and are currently feeling this camera is horrible. We can't seem to take a focused picture of anything. It's like there is vaseline on the lens. According to the Exif info the regular camera app is overly compresses the photos both before and after the mod. Both display "6 (JPG)" in IrfanView. Camera360 allows different controls and will produce a significantly larger file to match with the lower compression, however doesn't show in Exif, and the result is very grainy.

All 3 photos are of the same scene in a short period of time, so the lighting should be close enough for comparison. In this case my wifes picture actually looks better without the mod. I would attach the files but max jpg attachment is 256kb.

Look at the mouse on the first one and then on the second one... On the first one you can totally see the design of the mouse, the carbon fiber look or whatever and on the second one it is all blurry... So the first one is obviously focused on the mouse while the second is focused on the box.

Awesome. You seem to be the only person it doesn't work for. Wish I could have helped..
[AT&T LG Optimus G] RodneyMcKay:
I'll admit I'm not that experienced with android mods and tweaking at this level, but I do program php and some other script languages so I think I understand XML decently. I don't see anything in this media_profiles.xml file that appears to be related to still photos or jpg encoding. All profiles are listed under "camcorder" and file formats are only mp4 and 3gp with encoders of h264, h263, m4v, wmv for image formats.

I'll try checking soon if there is a noticeable difference in video between my phones.

Any ideas for still photos?

Re: [MOD] Increase Camera Audio/Video/Image Quality (Updated Link!)

I know we already determined that this mod either doesn't work for me or it doesn't effect still photos. But as I said I would, I ran a quick test of video between my phones. Both before and after the mod record video with the 1080p profile at the standard bit rate. Audio seems up from the stock configuration file, but both of my At&t phones seem to ignore this file.

Video 10.3Mbit/s

I don't have eagle eyes so as to distinguish the difference but will still try and post the results.

However , I am wondering that this will only impact the video recording quality , right ?? because I couldn't find any attributes related to Still Images/Pictures that are there to be changed in the config xml file.
