Better camera mod for CM7 RC3\RC4 - myTouch 4G Themes and Apps

Sorry if this is a re-post. Haven't seen it on the MT4G thread.
I'm just re-posting from the N1 forum. Also work brilliantly on the MT4G.
I too use my camera a lot and have been craving for a better camera or the original camera from the stock rom, since the one on CM just blows.
Make a backup of the existing file and replace it with the one from the post.

The old file yielded an image about 1.04MB in size and the new file 2.1MB. A lot less compression.
Many thanks to the OP for this.
Using this on RoyalGinger 1.4.1
Old @ 1.04MB

Just looked at the xml files and compared to the MT4G files.
I would not use xml files in the post you linked to. There are no profiles in these xml files for the Front Facing Camera.
Edit: If you want to make the change, just use root explorer and look for the following in the media_profiles.xml located in system/etc
<ImageEncoding quality="90" />
<ImageEncoding quality="80" />
<ImageEncoding quality="70" />
and change it to:
<ImageEncoding quality="99" />
<ImageEncoding quality="90" />
<ImageEncoding quality="80" />
As Always, do at your own risk, I would make a backup of the original file first.
