Q. Mms compression? Ns4g - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to remove or raise if to 5mb? My screenshots are blurry and not crisp when sending.
Ns4g, cm7.1.0.1, ics theme.
I like the stock mms and would prefer to find a modified copy w no limit or raised limit that I could move into system/app via root explorer

I just installed gosmspro and it allows a 5mb limit. My pics looks immensely better.
Anyone else having the horrible mms issue I highly recommend this app.very easy to make match my current ics theme and it 100% solved my blurry fuzzy pics

[Request][APP] Picture Compressor/Converter

Some of the photo's I've taken using my Nexus one I'd like to mms friends but the size is so outrageous because of the camera settings I use.
I simply want an application that I can use to convert a photo to something more reasonable. Thanks
not sure if this includes a resize option.

edit: nope no resize.
The inbuilt mms application will downsize it anyhow, isn't that what you're looking for?
I use Handcent. In the settings menu you can actually change the max size for mms. I notice that sending mms that is larger will not reach an iphone. :/
For other carries other than t-mobile unfortunately, cannot handle larger sizes. I have no problem sending pics at a max setting of 1.5M to other t-mobile customers. I seem to have the best luck with a 600k or 500k max. The program will still make them smaller but at least they won't max out higher than that. Hope this helps a little.

[MOD][How-To] Adjust Text Size in Stock Froyo Browser

[MOD][How-To] Adjust Text Size in Stock Froyo Browser
Background
I have seen this question asked several times here, in the I9000 forums and elsewhere. I very much missed the ability to adjust text size in the stock browser while keeping the zoom level default (medium) which was available in Eclair but removed in all Froyo builds. I have not tried any of the 2.3 leaks and cannot comment on if they are still lacking the text size adjustment.
One thing that gave me hope was that if I upgraded from DI18 using an update.zip (official OTA) my browser would keep its text size setting from Eclair, even though it could no longer be toggled in the browser settings.
Much later I realized that when doing an advanced Nandroid restore of "Data Only" it would also restore the text size setting to the browser. This made me realize there must be a config file inside of /data which could possibly be edited. I started a thread in Q&A to see if anyone had looked into it and as I got no response/interest decided to dive in myself.
Discovery
I was able to extract the /data partition of an old nandroid backup using the unyaffs utility with the cygwin1 DLL file.
From there I compared the file:
Code:
/data/data/com.android.browser/shared_prefs/WebViewSettings.xml
from the backup to the WebViewSettings.xml file in place after a fresh odin to stock. What I discovered was this line was in my nandroid backup XML, but not in the fresh install XML:
Code:
<string name="text_size">LARGER</string>
This appeared to me to be exactly the option I've been looking for. So I fired up notepad, edited my stock XML file and added the line of XML. Then I saved it back to the path mentioned above. Sure enough, the stock browser was now using a larger default font size while keeping the zoom level default (medium). I took a handful of screenshots comparing:
-Before Hack
--Medium Zoom setting
----Zoomed out
----Zoomed in
--Close Zoom setting
----Zoomed out
----Zoomed in
-After Hack (edited XML file)
--Medium Zoom setting
----Zoomed out
----Zoomed in
You will notice on the "before hack, close zoom setting" that the picture is also being zoomed in which is undesirable to me. I prefer to have pictures remain at their default (100%) size while only increasing the text.
Method
Requires ROOT Access and a way to access the /data partition. I use "SuperManager" although Root Explorer should work just as well.
Make a BACKUP! I am not responsible for broken devices, broken dreams, broken legs, etc
Move this file to your SDCard:
Code:
/data/data/com.android.browser/shared_prefs/WebViewSettings.xml
Edit the file (with notepad or whatever you want) to add
Code:
<string name="text_size">LARGER</string>
Note: You can replace LARGER with any of the following: smallest, smaller, small, medium, large, larger.
I will also provide my edited XML file so you may compare it or simply use it (NOTE: Using my XML file may change other browser settings you don't want changed!!)
Use task manager to verify "Internet" is not running. If it is, click End.
Copy the file back to its original location, overwriting the original
Shutdown the phone and boot into CWM
Clear cache & Dalvik cache (I don't know if this is required, but its the method I followed)
Reboot and enjoy your tweaked browser text size.
Next Steps
I'd like to see this implemented in either an easy to use app for root users, or perhaps just a script which can be run. If anyone is up for working on this or interested in implementing this into a ROM please PM me.
Screenshots and attachment will be added once I get them uploaded so you can compare and decide if you would like to do this hack.
If I helped you, please hit thanks.
Update:

This still works in Gingerbread for anyone wondering. Its a non issue in CM7 because that browser has the text size selection, but TW EI22 & EL30 you would need to edit this same file.

Yes, but only option2 (Photo Size 225x225 and dark background),options 1 and 3 only change the incremental ringtone with different backgrounds
I installed the dark background version, no signal here either. I'm on stock v21a as well. I really want this to work, because i hated the crescendo on my lg gt540 as well. Cyanogen solved it there, but I plan on sticking to stock fw on this one.
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA App
Stock rom is "ODEX" this mod only works with roms deodex, eg: cooked roms

MMS picture quality

Is the MMS picture quality bad irrespective of ROM, or is each ROM different?
I'm running JB 4.2.1 (Scott's CM10 ROM) and whenever I take a screenshot and send it through MMS it looks horrendous. Pictures fare a bit better for some reason, but not much.
Any ideas?
There is a file size limit for mms pictures. I'm not aware of what is is exactly (100kb?)
There are two main factors in jpeg file size. the first is the image size or resolution, the second is compression. The more compression the more artifacts in the image. Either way you are not going to be able to send a full quality 8mp pic via mms. Something has to give obviously.
I seem to recall that when I originally went from froyo to GB the mms pictures were smaller in pixel count, but better in quality when i sent them. I'm not 100% sure though.
I don't think it would affect pictures you receive though, that would be dependent on whoever sent you the photo.

[Q] Changing Screenshot Default Format PNG -> JPEG

It seems that T-Mobile MMS doesn't play nicely with the default .PNG screenshot format. They look fine on my phone, but once sent via MMS they are extremely blurry and almost completely illegible.
It's not a file size issue, as any other photos (at the full 8 megapixel setting) look great. So, my question is, can I change the default screenshot to JPEG, or does anyone know another permanent workaround?
For reference, the first image is the original screenshot, and the second is the screenshot as it gets sent/seen by the recipient.
Re: [Q] Changing Screenshot Default Format PNG -> JPEG
Use go sms it has an option to preserve mms quality.
