Hello everyone out there. Have you ever thought of resizing your pictures with SE phones, the way the Nokias do it.
Once I had a quarrel with my friend. He had a N73M. We took the same photo. The size of his photo was 550 KB while mine was >850 KB. I said that it must be that my picture contained a lot of details, unlike his. Thats where we began. After some time, I am sorry to say, I was defeated as he said that he had an inbuilt option that would resize a picture completely to around say 20 KB which my K790 couldn't do it.
However I am happy to announce that it is possible. I have discovered that when you try to send an MMS, a resize function gets called up which does the same thing as the Nokias do, that is they resize the pictures. Then I tried to retrieve the resized picture from the phones internal file system. I was successful.
Here are the steps:
1. The picture you want to resize must be either in the Pictures or Camera Album folder of your phone. So if it isn't, move it.
2. Begin an MMS.
3. Select to Add Photo, then select the photo from the folder. It would generally ask you to resize the pic, if it exceeds the specified size.
4. Click Yes and the photo would get resized to 640x480 resolution.
5. If you still want to further compress it, select the picture, go to More Options --> Picture Options --> Resize --> Select the proper resolution you want. 640x480 would be greyed out because that was your current resolution.
6. Press and hold Back key. That would save the unsent MMS in drafts.
7. Go to Drafts folder. The MMS would be there with the name of the Picture.
Select it and save it to the Templates folder and not the Saved messages folder. This will make a copy of the MMS in the Internal FS from where we can retrieve it. You can now delete the MMS in the drafts folder.
8. From here our target is to retrieve the resized picture from the internal FS. For that obviously you need to have access to it. So you must have either of the patches installed.
_ 1. Full Access to Internal FS by Iron Master v7
_ 2. Full access to internal file system through Java
_ 3. Full access to FS using OBEX
_ OR
_ You can use JDFlasher to navigate to the folder.
9. So whatever medium you choose, here is the ultimate part.
The picture is stored in:
tpa-->system-->messaging-->templates-->tmpl_*-->pic_name
10. You might want to copy that to you MS. So do it.
11. Walla! You have a resized picture.
alexlt has found out an easier method to do the same:--
Folow all steps until step 6 :
7. Go to Drafts folder and click: More >> View. Don't click "Stop". After you have seen the message, just press down with the jostick and it will select the picture in the message and the right soft button will change to "Picture", press it and select "Save Picture".
8. Enjoy
Ps: You can change the resolution the picture will be resized in: Message >> Settings >> Picture Message >> Picture Scaling

You can even create a software that will even do more than what Photoshop can do but can you do it with SE inbuilt func.,thats the point.

Why don't you just preview the MMS message? It will give you ability to save the picture into Pictures folder.
There's ain't need to access the FS.
---EDIT---
Oh sorry I didn't read until the end where you edit.
