Adding 4x zoom to video via mme_imager.cfg file

[ChameleonX]

Trying to read the mme_imager.cfg file found in a/mobile/video is like trying to read the rosetta stone! but after a while, with some tips from from modders on this subject, i managed to decipher it's meaning, at least a little. So this is how i modified it, to provide 4x zoom to the v6 video camera while recording and playback. Attached is the modded file(rename it from mme_imager.doc to mme_imager.cfg), but those who're curious as to how it could be done, here's the method: you'll have to modify it using a hex editor.

To modify the external video camera zoom, First go to roughly the middle of the file, at the byte position 5678, or search for the hex string "00 24 01 08 00". Change all the hex values, beginning by changing "24" to "32" and so on, as below..

32 01 08 00 2e 03
[ three zoom levels]

01 00 0e 00 07 00 90 00 b0 00 90 00 58 00
[zoom x1] [magnifier] [144] [176] [multiplier] [displ. angl/positn]

02 00 0e 00 03 00 90 00 b0 01 f0 00 98 00
[zoom x2] [magnifier] [144] [176] [multiplier] [displ. angl/positn]

04 00 0e 00 0c 00 90 00 b0 04 70 01 88 00
[zoom x4] [magnifier] [144] [176] [multiplier] [displ. angl/positn]
( the camera hex values have up to "08 00 0e" for 8x zoom )

03 00 32 01 08 00 2e 03
[ this looks like the start of another video zoom function, it originally has a following two zoom levels but i overwrite the "[zoom x2]" line, to make way for the above "[zoom x4]" level ]

01 00 0e 00 03 00 90 00 b0 01 f0 00 98 00
[zoom x1] [magnifier] [144] [176] [multiplier] [displ. angl/positn]



To modify the internal video camera zoom, go to almost the end of the file, at byte position 9762, or search the hex string "00 24 01 08 00",the second match. Change all the hex values, beginning by changing "24" to "32" and so on, as below..

32 01 08 00 2e 03
[three zoom levels]

01 00 0e 00 08 00 b0 00 90 00 00 00 00 00
[zoom x1] [magnifier] [176] [144] [multiplier] [displ. angl/positn]

02 00 0e 00 07 00 b0 00 90 00 b0 00 48 00
[zoom x2] [magnifier] [176] [144] [multiplier] [displ. angl/positn]

04 00 0e 00 03 00 b0 00 90 01 e0 00 b4 00
[zoom x4] [magnifier] [176] [144] [multiplier] [displ. angl/positn]

03 00 32 01 08 00 2e 03
[ this looks like the video zoom of another function, it originally has a following two zoom levels but i overwrite the "[zoom x2]" line, to make way for the above "[zoom x4]" level ]

01 00 0e 00 07 00 b0 00 90 00 b0 00 48 00
[zoom x1] [magnifier] [176] [144] [multiplier] [displ. angl/positn]

Put the modded mme_imager.cfg file to a/mobile/video and see the effect. While tinkering with this file, i also noticed that it affects the v6's camera function too. If you look at the other preceding hex values, you'll see they control the camera zoom similarly like the video hex values do. Without this file, or if it's corrupted,file size changed, etc., the camera won't work.. Perhaps these hex values provide clues too, to adding zoom to pictures in the phone.

Amazing, with this mod we now get 4x zoom on the video camera right ? But sadly the camera doesn't work, i tried several times to do this.

Russo, have you tried to copy the attached file?

I tried to mod it myself, I lost my way in the process!! XD

Hello there again, if my post looks a little confusing, here's the whole sequence of mods to the imager file...i'm using a 25117LD firmware, not sure if all imager files are the same. Anyway, first, to modify the external part of the video camera zoom,
go to byte no. 5678, or search for the string "00 24 01 08". Then change the "24" to "32" as the whole sequence below:

.................................32 01 08 00 2e 03
01 00 0e 00 07 00 90 00 b0 00 90 00 58 00
02 00 0e 00 03 00 90 00 b0 01 f0 00 98 00
04 00 0e 00 0c 00 90 00 b0 04 70 01 88 00
03 00 32 01 08 00 2e 03 01 00 0e 00 03 00
90 00 b0 01 f0 00 98 00.........................

For the internal video camera, go to byte position 9762, or search the hex string "00 24 01 08",the second match. Change all the hex values, beginning by changing "24" to "32" and so on, as the sequence below..

..................................32 01 08 00 2e 03
01 00 0e 00 08 00 b0 00 90 00 00 00 00 00
02 00 0e 00 07 00 b0 00 90 00 b0 00 48 00
04 00 0e 00 03 00 b0 00 90 01 e0 00 b4 00
03 00 32 01 08 00 2e 03 01 00 0e 00 07 00
b0 00 90 00 b0 00 48 00.........................

I didn't add any extra bytes, coz this makes the file unusable. The v3x imager file have extra byte codes inserted. The attached imager file is my actual .cfg file renamed to .doc, coz there's no .cfg extension in the upload section. Thanks for trying out this mod you all..

How can i rename mme_imager.doc to mme_imager.cfg??????


when do it i get a .....

microsof word document,, not a cfg file

Hola Ruso )

[JKR74]

Go to folder properties on your pc, select "always show file format types", then press OK. Then right-click on your file. Select "rename". Write "mme_imager.cfg" Press Enter.

Done.

Thanks a million

FANTASTIC MOD FOR V6MAXX

THANKS A LOT

I UP THIS FILE IN MY MAXX,,, AND NOW,,,, IT IS ALL RIGHT

PERFECT,,,, NOTHING PROBLEMS,, WITH CAMERA PHOTOGRAF,,, AND NOTHING PROBLEMS,,, WITH VIDEO CAMERA RECORDER..

SUPER ZOOM 4X ))

THANKS THANKS THANKS


THE NEXT......FOR ULTRA EXPERTS ,,,,, GO TO ZOOM 8X IN VIDEO

[King_Rat]

another gr8 tweak ^^

works for K3 too

re, renaming... just save it as "mme_imager.cfg" [minus quotes...] in 1st instance

NB, internal camera not working for K3 after this mod. Hav reverted to 2x zoom for now :boohoo:

[King_Rat]

Had a look @ my mme_imager file via XVI32 and found the 1st set but it's slightly different & couldnt make sense after then

@ ChameleonX... could you give my mme_imager the once over and see if you can do the 4x zoom [just for main camera] i.e. no edits for internal as it was disabled using your mme_imager file

T.I.A

[ChamomileS]

hello all, chameleonx here.

I'm using my other id this time.. @ king rat, try out these attached files, hope they'll work fine. There's also a v6 imager file included here for v6 users, which has modded video and camera zoom levels and size. thanx.

[King_Rat]

testin ^^

out of the 3 files in the archive **k3mme_imager1_2_4ZoomIncrSize**

doesnt work ^^ it makes internal camera go all rainbow colours - like something out of Predator :ng:

the other two files working [so far]

thnx again to chameleonX

[Russoeternal]

Big news for MAXX
