Sony Ericsson has implemented this stuff called bravia engine in their new devices that increases sharpness, contrast, etc.
They have managed to port that to the x10. Bravia engine is completely software based so is there a possibility we can port it to our desire?
The latest version of Tabasco's Silky ROM has the Bravia engine included. No idea how it works, or how to port it to other ROMs but at least it is here on the Desire...that's a start!

A developer over at the HD2 forums ported them first. He also posted the files, and he says they work on all sense roms.

Thanks for the link. Although reading that thread, it seems doubtful whether this has actually been successfully ported?
But will we notice the difference with and without bravia engine? Does it work ONLY in gallery?
i don't think so
What is it?
Sebastian Runny have Bravia, but I'm not know how it use =((
Anybody knows how it works?
EDIT: Is it really BETTER than displays without Bravia Engine?

I saw the two files and the build.prop entries to add but I am also confused as to what exactly this will improve... I'll probably not even notice!

Bravia Engine doesnt do anything but it does improve screen acurancy...

well i guess it is just a marketing trick...
We wont know till we compare two htc desires, one with bravia engine and one without
There are now a few roms with bravia engine, hope someone makes a flashable .zip of it. Would be nice

bit difficult with all the build.prop's for every version of each rom..
would have to find a way to append the text in the build.prop ? or just create a flashable version for each rom
I think flashable zip for each rom would be easier

Note: untested!! only for AceSMod007-3D v15, CM7 7.1.0 stable, oxygen 2.3.1 (please post and let us know if it works or not if you test)
try this?
would recommend backing up build.prop before flashing
Thanks, can u make a flashable zip for CM7? cuz the other guy claims to have 2 HTC desires and can do a comparison for us. In the meantime i will try to flash the zip file and see if theres is any differences. Thanks so much
Also Michaelm007's Runnymede007 v3 has the bravia engine. I have noticed that truly the look and sharpness has changed since he included it into his rom.
U saw the sharpness increase WHERE? The entire UI or JUST the gallery
[V2.] : Can be uninstalled
- Included Sony Xloud and Sony bravia engine.
- Can be completely uninstalled.
To uninstall [V2], simply flash "Uninstall_sony_bravia_xlound_engine_V2.zip" using CWR. It will removed the Xloud/Bravia engine files and also removes the changes made to build.prop.
Please hit the "Thanks" button.
[V1.]
Sony XLoud engine is suppose to enhance the volume/sound quality on phones.
I made a CWR flashable zip file, it can be installed on any device with android 2.3, i tested it on HD2 and Captivate.
- To be on the safe side, do nandroid backup before flashing.
Please hit the "Thanks" button.

Boot to CWM, USB Flasher? For us n00bs, best to make it explicit, methinks...
Great work, and thanks!
No; you have to go to cwm (clockworkmod) recovery, then choose "install zip" or something, and select the zip file from the first post. That's it, then just reboot. Don't unzip anything!
Please give credit to where it's due. Dansta may have it in his rom but he was not the first for the HD2. Mwakious was.

I need some help.
I am on Xperia Ultimate HD ROM and everythings works great.
When I install these mod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2005602), only some things work. For example it doesnt install all the apps that I select in the AROMA installer, and thing like the app that lets you share your pictures, videos and music via wifi to your tv (for example) its not there anymore.
Can some one please help me?

i had the same problem with that ROM, but then i install SlimBean and 0 problems
So, the rom that is recomended for the mod doesnt work correctly when you install the mod?
I AM HAPPY TO PRESENT YOU WITH A REAL WORKING X-REALITY ENGINE FOR XPERIA DEVICES..
{This mod is for pre 4.4.2 (any firmware version lower than 14.3.A.0.681) only. As Sony's KITKAT is much more sweeter now. yes they have removed the restriction of "no X-REALITY / BRAVIA ENGINE for unlocked boot-loaders" from KITKAT. ( Kissess Sony.. )
So from now, U will have to flash this mod, only if you are on pre-KITKAT firmwares. And please dont mess up with kitkat firmwares.}
GUYS.
Many of you have unlocked your xperia's bootloaders by now for your custom rom love..(i had it done on second day after purchase of my zx1, and its only a week old now, thanks to TA BACKUP).
One of the sad thing u will ever realize after bootloader unlock will be a non functioning X-Reality/Bravia engine and it is due to the drm protection being lost, though the files are there for its working.
So the question is can it be recovered if we patch the drm check??? the ans is yes!
That's why i promise you this mod will work.
This mod contains files for X-Realty engine BASED ON XZ1 14.2.A.1.136 FIRMWARE and patch files to patch the DRM check... Also you will figure out that this X-Reality engine will have some difference in colour saturation level than what you find in other mods or previous BRAVIA/X-Reality engines. I personally prefer it becoz it does not hurt eyes that much, and have good balance with colour-contrast ratio.
What you will need
1. An xperia device ( checked it on xperia z and z1 ) with stock or stock based rom ( dont know about custom roms or other devices, but it wont hurt you to give a try)
2. Unlocked bootloader ( well, you wont be needing this if u r on locked bootloader, although u can use it in lb too)
3. CWM/TWRP recovery or any recovery you use like phills advanced touch recovery.
4. Patience ( will tell you later, why you need it!)
Steps
1. Reboot into your recovery
2. Backup your system ( not needed exactly, but its always good to keep a backup, in case the sky falls!)
3. Flash the zip.
4. Reboot and enjoy the X-Reality display
Now the patience part....AKA checking if its working
1. Go to SETTINGS>DISPLAY and turn on X-Reality/Bravia engine if it is not turned on
2. Collect some brightly coloured pic from somewhere on web, or from your collection on your pc( recomended to find some HDR pics, having good sunlight/brightness and a verity of colours like red's ,blue's, yellow's, green's etc. and transfer to your phone/sd.
3. open album(Sony album preferred) and locate the pics.(full screen pics on landscape are pretty good to see the effect).
4. If its a high resolution pic, it will take a second or two to load the pic( u will see the pic edges will smooth out when it loads). Give it another second or two to make the X-Reality effect to load.(this time you will see the colours getting more saturated, and the contrast increasing)
5. Thats all.. Enjoy the X-Reality engine on your movies and photos.
I take no credits, as this is not my work, this is the work of Sony Engineers, and the patch files , which i use in this package is obtained from XDA itself, and is the result of hard work of some XDA member ( Sorry i forgot whom e's for mentioning his name, as i got it before long time).
I just took all of them together, from XDA and newest XZ1's firmware, combined and checked if every thing is working. And sharing it with you.
I have analysed the "SwiqiMasterReset.apk" which is used to load the x-reality engine. And i found out this( well its not new,nor what you people have heard of).
If somebody who have a problem with the working of this mod, please add these lines to your build.prop.
ro.service.swiqi2.supported=true
persist.service.swiqi2.enable=1
ro.service.swiqi3.supported=true
persist.service.swiqi3.enable=1
Thats really needed for the working of bravia or x-reality. These lines are normally found in stock or stock based roms unless your rom dev have removed it.
You may hit the THANKS button for me if you like it.
Hi!
Would definitely check this out!
Anyone confirm that to work ?
Trying right now!
Thx Bruh!
-Edit!
Flashed it, but i don`t really recognize any difference, it loads its sharpness of the picture but i cant see any colours or contrast improvements or so after next couple sec, Either i`m to blind to see that, it loads to fast or it doesnt work for me ^^ Anyway Thanx
works also Bionz engine on z1?
Very nice !
Will this also work on Xperia Z Ultra ?
Nice!! how about bionz??
People... Test it and then ask...
Wysłane z mojego C6903 przy użyciu Tapatalka
About xreality.. It works 100% sure. By the way bionz is a chip, which is sony's custom image processor chip, they use it in many cameras. And i dont think its a piece of software unlike xreality or bravia engine. Yap both of them are just softwares. And nothing else.
So if u loose bionz, u probably dont have camera working. And there are rumours like it wont work if u unlock bootloader ( yap its true if u havent updated zx1 to 4.3 before unlocking bootloader, sony themselves cleared it in there bootloader unlock Code request page).
If some doesnt see any xreality enhancement, sorry but i cant help u in seeing it. No offence, but some already told that they cant even notice the diff in turning it on and off in sony offical firmware,with locked boot!!!! Lol what can i do to make them belive!

Yeah but people still said function of bionz will be gone after unlocking bootloader on android 4.3
I think sony prevent the camera from breaking by enable image process by regular cpu, like any other xperia devices
is it??
Looks like this is for deodex ROM, am I right?

Thanks mate
so wait, this is a fix for all of us who unlocked bootloader but didnt do a TA backup (so we lost our DRM keys forever) ?
even if i dont have TA backup, I can get x-reality to work again? if so, that is cool
anyway to do this for camera too? my camera quality has gone to s*hit ever since i unlocked bootloader (or maybe its because i use iHackers 2.1 rom, dont know)

does it? thats one new knowledge for me, i have unlocked bootloader, after updating 4.3. Does any one confirm it yet? well sony haven't said that, ..... oh wait .. i will relock my boot now with TA(and post any result). I noticed a colour change in superior auto mode when under lowlight condition. on 4.2, it seems much better, but on 4.3 it seems like having a purple tint in same mode. let me check.

the xreality will work, and about the drm, i dont think so, coz the patch is probably from an old model sony phone. and may be the keys will be different, but bro.. seriously i cant check.. coz i have a working camera.. i unlocked after update!!!. also about your camera.. well pls ask it in your rom's thread. or may be some day we XDA'ns will find a solution for those who lost the cam.
I can make odexed version from yours tho. Anyway, big thanks for your work!

Upgrading to 4.3 already improved gaming performance, but it is still not enough. Considering Chainfire3D is not compatible with 4.3+, there must be other options to increase gaming performance such as decreasing texture quality.
Decreasing the resolution does not have much effect as Xperia M is already running on a low resolution. I lowered it slightly, but I barely get any noticable increase.
Recently, Dragon Quest 8 has been ported to Android and I am using it as my Gaming Performance measurement.
It runs well and very playable, but it still lags now and then during sequences and I want to completely get rid of that. The graphics of the game look amazing (considering its a PS2 game on Android), but I'd be comfortable with smoother gameplay instead of great graphics.
I found some tweaks such as Medusa, but as mentioned my phone has a Locked BootLoader and it cannot be unlocked. I already disabled all animation effects in Developer Settings.
I personally use medusa and reincarnation engine at the same time and my phone runs like a damn cheetah.oh and you don't need an unlocked bootloader to install these mods, all you have to have is root, busybox, and init.d support. And then download the mods amd place the files in their appropriate folders and set the correct permissions to each file. You don't need CWM. this method actually works for a lot of mods, you can try it out if you wish. Good luck
Yea.medusa script is good.best battery life ever and speed is amazing

You mean reincarnation ? I used Reincarnation lately but it seems that Medusa is better , So you should only use Medusa .
extract all files then move it to /system then change permission CHECK ALL BOXES after you change that permission move them to /system/etc/int.d paste them there .then reboot .
Oh btw you need busybox and int .d support .

Why should he only use medusa. Reincarnation engine and medusa do not interfere with each other soyou can have them both installed.

TowelRoot and apply Rootfix or the long, but my preferred way:
-Flash stock 4.1.2 using FlashTool
-Extract system.sin from 4.3.ftf file using FlashTool, you should get a system.ext4 file
-Download Nicki Root and put the system.ext4 file where the root.bat is
-Download Framaroot, install it and select SuperSU and Gandalf, run it multiple times until you have SuperSU installed on your phone
-run root.bat and follow instructions
-flash the stock 4.3 ftf but exclude System
Done
All of this can be found on xda easily, just google for 'root xperia m 4.3'.

Bro, do you think im stupid? Of course i know what permissions to use. Go to the reincarnation engine thread and go to page five. I actually made a guide for how to install the mod in locked bootloaders. It tells you what permissions to use for each file. I think u owe me an apology, lol.
