What I do now is just set image size bigger (less compression, thanks mongoose), and make sharpening value to 0 a.k.a do nothing for sharpening, so what cam sensor get will untouched (we can retouch later with any digital lab software such photoshop or any other else), and set any images captured with Xenon flash to ISO 320 (originally ISO 400 but it's overbright, and try set to ISO 250 but some cases tend to darker).
Meanwhile I think this most better result I can get on camera phone, not overbright, oversharp or any other, it's more natural, like what I get on normal digital camera 
could you give me an example using part of the camdriver text? I mean...to know how to mod the iso by myself. Thanks in advance! |

What max file size do you have for 2mp? What buffer size have you set for 2mp. If you go above 900kb it will crash. I've been running 900kb with 2mp for 2 days now without a single reset and I have taken lots of shots. I've been playing around with compression ranging from 90% to 100% and have not had one single problem.
Actually I'm using that setting on 3 MP low compression. Buffer set to 1 MB, and today just get it reset again even with 95%, seems I should de-tune it again to 92% (on K750 92% is max for all around taking picture without reset).. |

isnt there some potential for cleaner images using the 2 megapixel setting as the sensor isn't being loaded up, I read camera reviews all the time where they complain that the images are noisey because the sensor is being forced to capture more megapixels but the sensors arent being made any bigger. Personally Id much rather a smaller noise free image (night shots without flash anyone) than the dirty pixel hot spot pics the k800i turns out.
Im so glad i found this thread. |

As I said anything over 900kb seems to cause issues. It seems the 3mp settings are already at the max capabilities of the phone. This is why I changed my focus to the 2mp settings as I could take them upto what appears to be the phones limit. I have done so much testing now it has driven me mad. But, I am now happy with what I have done to the 2mp settings. I believe the 2mp images are now better than the 3mp images as they don't suffer the jaggies as much. But, as they are 2mp images there is a very small loss in detail that can only be noticed if you zoom right in - This can't be helped and beats zig zags everywhere. In most cases the images rival the w800 images. However, in taking photos of a Coke can yesterday I got better pictures out of a W810.
Replacing FF with 00 in the Sharpness reset seems to be the best option as it forces the sharpness to it's lowest setting. It is just a shame that the sharpness can't be lowered more as I think the images are far to sharp even on the lowest setting. If you play in photoshop you can actually easily up the jaggies by softening the area a little. Pitty the phone can't do this.
I have put together a driver for others to try. I have changed the version to 3.1 so that it can be easily identified. Here's a link to download it:
http://rapidshare.com/files/52361150/camdriver0.dat.html
This Driver has 2mp buffer set to 900kb, Max, target and min files settings from 3mp settings applied to the 2mp settings. 2mp compression set at 100. Sharpness set to 00 instead of FF. There are no changes to 3mp settings. |

I was wondering if theres been any attempt to make the image stabilizer work in all modes? So u can still use the focusing feature with the stabilzer for instance as I find 9 out of 10 images with the stabilizer one are ironically blurry because there is no focusing ability in this mode.
could some one post some comparison pics to look at?
doin this will void my vodaphone warranty wont it? |

according to mongoose its quite stable.. but then again, its kinda like case to case basis...
like what happened in K750.. other phones has minor differences on the other.
its up for you to try... just keep in mind to back your files up.
the important thing about mongooses' driver is that it tweaks the 2MP shots, so that it may achieve its ultimate function at par with those 3mp shots in terms of ISO, exposure, sharpness etc etc...
they left the 3MP shots where it suppose to be, coz according to the modders, there is not much to tweak with the 3MP shots. because the machine inside K800/810 limits itself to what it is programmed to do. any other alteration may cause the driver faulty and unstable.
stay with the program! ciao!

the 3.1 drivers r stable as far as i have tested.but it would be better to do something to the ISO. we need better quality pictures at low light. And is there any way to increase the twilight mode file size coz if a pic is taken in twilight mode the file size decreases compared to the same snap taken in auto mode. |
