[Q] SRS TruMedia for Arc S? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i am practically on a quest to get stellar quality out of my arc s...what i alwas wanted for the arc s...was SRS....i found this thread on x8 dev section about the SRS trumedia http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1556035
i was wondering if such a mod exists for our arc s or is it even possible...a proper apk where you can toggle on & off so someone can actually hear the difference??

There's probably no port yet. CKKnot has answers
CKKnot said:
This mod doesn't need any tick there tick here, it is system sound lib, where it will affect all outgoing sound to an SRS effect.

-> no apk to hear "before" and "after", it's system lib which loads on boot and affects all sounds of phone. It's okay to believe it's better
CKKnot said:
Yes, you must edit the updater script for your devices, you can straight away using notepad++ to edit it. Please include the original link or credit to me when you wanna port it to your phone forum

Some1 first has to edit script for Arc S.. not aware abt anyone did that yet

here is rom with bravia engine in it.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382174
I tried modding it and i bekieve its working . Its doesnt create wonders or turns your sgs into sgs2, but still will make ui a bit smoother and photos and icons a bit clear and crisper.
It really does improve video playback on your phone. I tried SGS1 and my videos are clearer and have better colors

Maybe i get the hole thing wrong, but is the bravia engine not some sort of image post-processing? so how can it improve ui smoothness? if at all, it should slow down the phone as it has to process the images before they are displayed

But voodoo colour ruins dark images
+1
totally support this.voodoo colour produces good results in some particular settings but bravia engine is way better and the colours are really vibrant.
how to install ? CWM ?

I dont have a flashable zip right now. I dont even have a rooted phone right now to make on. So ill include it in my next rom. Btw if someine has better knowledge about this then pls comment here as i dont feel that i enabled it properly.
Flash this via CWM This .zip works on every rom that is rooted ( AOSP / CM7 / MIUI ). It is universal CWM Package
It's a pity the stuff in the build prop, won't do jack. It sets flags on that which does not exist, but on Sony built ROMs IMHO. It's Sonys tweak mod for there ROMs... Like Voodoo, Neutral colors, Galaxian, Speedrom blah etc.
Perhaps a kernel dev could verify it. The missing swiqi links to nowhere..

Hi,
If you don't notice difference with Voodoo Gamma hack..
1- you have problem in your eyes and need glasses
2- you didn't touched the settings and left them as "stock"
Try the settings in the thread below and you wont talk about bravia engine anymore.

also
as has been noted in GadgetCheck's thread in the SGS2 development forums, while folks are loading the modules there is no service to utilize them, which is Sony Erickson proprietary... Even on AOSP ROMs on the SE phones, it can't be enabled... just on SE ROMs on SE ONLY hardware that it is already built for (though possibly not enabled, hence how this "hack" can work on certain SE phones!)

Is there already a way to undo this easily ? (Without flashing the whole firmware again)
I made a backup and will test the bravia engine soon. So if a backup of files is needed I could provide them.

Yeah..+1..need an easy undo..I've tested already..but not much improvement...oops..my bad..not want to say.but i will keep testing...is this same with rio's black notes rome that have bravia tweak too.?

Quality of the pictures is just same. :O need an undo to remove the mod. Thanks.
Sent from my Wonder Boy using xda premium
Hey there,
I have done some research. The picture or video itself won't change, it will only be portrayed different. So once the picture is on your PC it will look all same. And the pictures before and after will look on the Device same, too. You will only see the difference if you do a screen shot before and a screenshot after.
So this isn't the great upgrade like expected but also not useless, so no need to uninstall or undo.
I have not seen anywhere a undo option, other than the option with flashing.
greets
THE-E
now sorry i forgot to say this do a backup before flashing ehehe
A nandroid to backup and restore..,?just for that small tweaks.?urmm..can I say its a pretty boring-long-wait-restore-a-whole devices- method..can u provide a flashable .zip for stock file that this tweaks hve replace.?just my suggestions.. perhaps it makes other people easy to testing this tweak and undo thing easily neither to restore a nandroid..
That may make people recognize u as a easy-maker dude.!heh..provide and unprovide..modding and unmodding...haha..btw..nice...

Bro..
Give a try Black Notes Chapter 2 ROM, it has Bravia Engine for SG2 MOD
I moved it in developer section
i have tried adding this manually to my Galaxy W 2 weeks ago.
what is does is just increase the contrast of the photos and videos by 5% maybe at the most
photos and videos look sharper as a result - but on some shots be prepared to lose to some details due to the contrast being boosted artificially.
it is not something that intelligently analyses photos and videos before applying the contrast fix but just applies the effect to all - hence some photos and videos with very good contrast is going to look bad.
it might help much on normal LCD screens but i think the native contrast of the SuperLCD on Galaxy W is sufficient.
applying this 'fix' on phones with AMOLED / Super AMOLED / Super AMOLED Plus screens such as Galaxy S / Galaxy S II / Galaxy S Plus / Galaxy Note is an overkill.

Is Beats Audio any good for Hero?
THX Habarugggggggg u r really a nice guy
EDIT: this din work for hero... can u make another signed zip form DOWNLOAD03/02/12 .zip from the forum? thx in advanced.
I think this Beats Audio is intended for Android OS 2.3+. Are you running at least GB?
tryed on wildhero v5 with Amon_RA can't install
As for me, i tryed any beats zip file, signing it and this was not possible to install it via amon ra because of a status 0 error.
I searched about it, and I read it meant that the hardware is not compatible with the zip I'm trying to install.
As an example, it's as if I was trying to install the ruu of the HTC One V(good looking, like the hero on the htc Hero
So, I've no idea of how to go trough that problem
(it's not my level anymore)

Sometimes, there are headphones that are beats like in term of specs
Thus, if the beats audio equalizer could be associated with a good headphone, the result can be good.
(personally I have a really good, really cheap headphone with a very good response in low frequencies, and I just can't wait to try it out with the beats equalizer)
The Beats!
By looking on the Wildfire S forum, I found that post :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525759&highlight=beats
By downloading it, I tryed it at first with no change.
It gone wrong because it was not signed...
Then I signed it...
See attachment.
unfortunately for me, I did it too fast to see any difference...:'(
But, if you don't trust this file or whatever, I compared the system files from the original post and it seems to be the same... So that's it
Working fine!! Thanks lolo7291
Thx lolo !! i will try it now can giv u ppl some feedback!! =)
EDIT: The sound is somehow louder and deeper bass but i did not see much improvement.. LOL.. THX AGAIN FOR US TO TRY OUT
can someone explain what happens with this addon? I flashed it, and i don't see any difference in the interface nor the audio quality...
IMO Beats Audio is nothing special, in the end it's kinda like a equalizer preset made by monster
BEATS is just another audio booster or equaliser.. ntg massive.. this is a hack where it wont have any beats logo appearing even it is running in the background. u need decent earphone to actually listen the difference made. Not huge difference
I don't know why but I've got the feeling that it works for the first boot only after flashing it from amon-ra....
I've got to check it out....hope it's working well finally, if not, I don't know what to do to fix it...(for now)
Anyone else having this feeling?
Not much difference really.... cant really hear it with our bear ear.. haha

[MOD] [ICS] Increase maximum bluetooth a2dp bitpool to 64!

Success! Ladies and gentlemen, we are in business! :good:
I've rebuilt ICS from the 4.0.4 + Samsung patch tree, with the a2dp max bitpool set to a more appropriate 64. For the first time ever, let your Glide sound the way it should over bluetooth!
Updated library (and source patch) attached. Simply push audio.a2dp.default.so to /system/lib/fw (root & rw /system required), or use the CWMR flashable update provided by thegreatergood (CWMR_a2dp-bitpool-fix.zip).
Please note this binary is only compatible with the official ICS (IMM76D/UCLH2) and the leaked ICS build! It will have no effect on the previous Gingerbread build.
Take a nand backup with CWMR before you begin! If this library is corrupted, your phone will hang during bootup!
Code:
6 [email protected]:/system/lib/hw# logcat | grep -i bitpool
D/A2DP ( 3768): min_bitpool: 2
D/A2DP ( 3768): max_bitpool: 53
D/A2DP ( 3768): bitpool=53
53 is the max supported by the headset I'm using, and it sounds great!
Note - if you want to apply the source patch yourself, the target files are in external/bluetooth/bluez/audio.
Thanks to thegreatergood for creating a CWMR flashable archive!
Enjoy!

Hi guys,
So like many, I've got the new ICS build up and running, and it does resolve a lot of issues (hey - a working compass in Google Maps!).
One issue it does not resolve is the poor bluetooth a2dp audio quality. Still locked at 35 bitpool. Sigh.
I'm working on resolving this situation, now that (I hope) the proprietary broadcom binaries and junk are gone, and will post progress here. If anyone has any comments / suggestions / patches let me know!

Ya that is one thing that really is bothering me with the leak is it takes forever to connect with Google maps I Mean close to 15 minutes!! Perhaps I should start looking at switching to the release if you say this is fixed....Just wish someone would make a CWM version.

Why? I'm working on a solution to the problem that could involve binary or source patches, recompiles, and some complex debugging and/or side effects. I don't think it's good to expose everyone in the general section to this process..

Just so we're clear here (I wouldn't want to make the mistake twice) - you're saying threads of technical nature that involve potentially pasting code snippets, log dumps, modifications to /system and other risky procedures which may (soft) brick devices belong in the general discussion forum, unless the first message contains an attachment?
If so, when my 4.0.4 source tree build finally completes and I upload a modified /system/lib/hw/audio.a2dp.default.so and diffs, should I expect complaints that the thread belongs in the development section?

can the fix be done on GB? i'm still using it until i'll have custom rom that will support my language.
i know it been compiled for ics but can we use the source to change the gb version?

Sadly, no. This is the main reason I was so excited when the ICS source was released.
The problem is the Gingerbread build uses a proprietary Broadcom binary for managing bluetooth, and I wasn't able to hack the binary itself. Tried for weeks.
I hope an ICS build comes out for you soon!
Greetings.
After overwriting the original file, and rebooting the phone, i noticed a minor audio quality improvement (minor, but clearly noticeable) by using a Nokia BH-905 headset, and listening to music files, however i do not tested calls yet.

The quality improvement depends on the headset, which can also set the maximum bitpool size. If the BH-905 limits the bitpool to 45, that would only be slightly better than the stock 35. If you're interested, you can check the negotiated bitpool size with:
Code:
logcat | grep -i bitpool
.. shortly after connecting A2DP.
Note that this patch will have no effect on voice calls, since they use a different profile (HSP / HFP).
Using Motorola S805's here, and a very noticeable increase in quality. Looks like mine support a max of 53.

Just connect them and start playing some music while running:
