Bravia engine on the desire? - Desire General

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!

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

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.

if i already have some of these, eg already rooted, already thunderbolt script and already adrenaline, can i still flash this?

Well I think will be very useful for those who decide to go back to Stock roms, since stock roms miss these features, and there are clearly useful ones.

Of course I see that it's not simply enough
I was only curious about the statement of GEKTHEBOSS saying in the introduction of this package, containing that it needs roms with init.d support, and as well as I know, stock roms don't support. That was what I wanted to ask

I got it to work with the help of Pmtr3 dev and simplelife for the awesome beats . Awesome beats didn't make any difference in sound until I added bravia engine into system/etc and buildprop edit. it definitely makes my phone sounds better.
This is what I did to get it to work on Cmenards rom.
I downloaded Pmtr3s jedi x rom. Using root explorer, extract Be_photo & be_video from system/etc then copy those 2 files and paste it in system/etc(make sure you change permission on both of the files). Then extract build.prop, look for the two lines
ro.service.swiqi.supported=true
persist.service.swiqi.enable=1
Copy that and paste it in your build.prop.
save and reboot.
maybe other ppl will have a better and easier way to get it to work but thats how I got mine to work. if you need more help, pm me. I'm a noob at this , so what I explained my be confusing .
Thank you for the help. I copied those two files and modified build.prop and changed permissions. There must be something else missing. Is there another build.prop for beats maybe?
On a side note, how do I confirm bravia engine is actually working?

I know there is an app in play store called Pimp My Rom, which installs & enables Bravia Engine. As for the touch recovery, did you try TWRP recovery? It is fully touch operated

X-Reality engine for UB's.. oh yea..this will work.

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??

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!
