Best camera with .62 firmware(must be rooted) - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

After much trial and error i have found out how to get the best picts on this firmware. SEE WARNINGS BELLOW!!
Try this at your own risk. I have not had any problems.
Thanks to larut for the camera mods!
1. First goto this link and download the files called "larut camera.apk.rar".
Follow instructions on that page.

You then need to reboot!
2 Next goto this link and download the camera libraries.
http://developer.sonyericsson.com/w...ralibrariesforthe2011xperiaphones?cc=gb&lc=en
Unzip them and copy only the 3 files for the neo to the sd card.
Move the three files in the root /system on phone.
Change the permissions of ALL files.
Move the three files to /system/lib.
Reboot phone and you are done!
Before you start this make a copy of the following files:
/system/app
CameraExtensionPermission.apk
SemcCameraUI.apk
/system/lib
libcald_pal.so
libcamera.so
libcameralight.so
Use at your own risk! I have been using this for over a month and no problems. You must have Root to do this!
Enjoy!

I think this will work on other 2011 Xperia lineup, since you will be getting official drivers from the sony ericsson page, its just the software i think that was replaced ...

heard this mod will just make the pics bigger but will not yield any better picture quality....

Before you start this make a copy of the following files:
/system/app
CameraExtensionPermission.apk
SemcCameraUI.apk

Ah thanks, I overlooked this

---

Was similar to the manipulation of .42. Only there was a change of only SemcCameraUI. Here are replaced with 5 files. The size is now more than doubled, but the quality is so not added. The noises may be smaller, but noticeable. It is a pity

---

Well I install and tested with my Neo. The size of pic is doubled and the quality is improved, but just a little bit. I also notice some horizon fault line across the pics, not easy to see but noticable when you zoom the pic to 100% size
So I think this will worth a try if you dont have any issue the the card volume and speed
Thanks anyway for sharing!

I don't understand about the 'permission' thingy. How to do it? Can it be done using Root Explorer? Thanks in advance
