Can any one post a new link for the flashable, plz :)
[Desire HD Android Development] bayones:
hey guys. can anyone help me on this, I don't know where to set the permissions, can anyone tell me the exact location on root explorer. thanks!

Now, set the right permissions or open a terminal emulator and execute:

Code:

su

busybox chmod 0755 /system/etc/be_photo

busybox chmod 0755 /system/etc/be_movie

busybox chown 0.0 /system/etc/be_photo

busybox chown 0.0 /system/etc/be_movie

Can i install it on this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1450962 or this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1902924&page=8 ROMs?

Because i read at top of this thread that this mod is only compatible with english device with any 2.2 and 2.3 Android ROM!
[Desire HD Android Development] MyCanSeeYou:
Yep Pacha said it will work
[Desire HD Android Development] lateral18:
Anybody has a working link they can share , I want to try it

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] johrie:
Does this work on jellybean?
[Desire HD Android Development] BolecDST:
The link in OP works just fine.
[Desire HD Android Development] lateral18:
question

After the install , I do notice the improvement , but there is a small bug , the sound doesn't kick in after 20 after the movie or video plays , and the sctock player kind of freezes , any way to fix it

??

Other than that is working great
[Desire HD Android Development] joranpoort:
Doesn't work at CM10.1 :(

I do notice the pictures look much sharper in ViperDHD (with Bravia engine)
[Desire HD Android Development] aljazirrr:
Bravia Engine 2

Tried to use the mod in CM10.1 RC1, but it made my phone hanged after reboot. It stuck on blackscreen after the white screen and htc logo. Any advice?

How to install? Just flash the zip file in recovery?
[Desire HD Android Development] aljazirrr:
If you download the zip of Bravia Engine 2 flash it in Recovery
[Desire HD Android Development] Killy77:
Did that. Took a while during the last part of install. Just let it finish. Its working for me. Thank you.
[Desire HD Android Development] coloured_chalk:
whats the differences? can you share them?
[Desire HD Android Development] cordell507:
the contrast actually looks slightly better on the bravia one, look at the light at the bottom right and the blacks on the bottoms of the flowers.
[Desire HD Android Development] SAPPH1RE:
Still looks the same to me. Maybe it's just my eyes. :o

Edit: Copy the file and set all the permissions, still the same. Refer back to HD2 section on about this bravia mod, sorry but, it's just placebo. I'm not seeing any different.

Now, if only we can mess the saturation/hue/contrast of DHD display driver, it will be nice. Like a vibrant control on nvidia graphic card.
[Desire HD Android Development] sigurd_LU:
I don't see a difference either. Maybe both of us have bad eyes, who knows.. ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Ambroos:
Bravia Engine doesn't do that much much. I've got a Neo, has it on board, hardly ever notice it.

The only thing it does is improve things (images and movies) you watch in the Android Gallery slightly. It increases the contrast, and fixes the colors. It looks really good on some images, makes other images slightly worse. The best improvement is for video, and does (as far as I know) have effect on every video that uses the built-in player (so not Youtube, but when you click a video link in the browser it should, for example).

The effect can be seen very clearly on in-phone screenshots. Open each image in a new tab and then switch between the tabs to really see the difference. Example of http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/details/2734/symbolic.html:

with Bravia Engine <-> without Bravia Engine

Another example:

With Bravia Engine (above), without Bravia Engine (below)

Again, as you can see, it's mainly the colours that are just so much better, like.no.other if you know what I mean :P
[Desire HD Android Development] miffymiffy:
i just took a before and after and noticed a massive difference.

Before:

After:

Taken 10 mins apart.
[Desire HD Android Development] Ambroos:
Think you confused software with weather there :P
[Desire HD Android Development] protomanez:
Yeah, looks like a cloud must've been covering the sun in the first one xD I'm noticing sharper photos with the engine on both my HD2 and Desire HD.
[Desire HD Android Development] miHah:
the thing is, BRAVIA ENGINE is designed to work on phone, when viewing photos/movies and not when taking pictures because image will stay the same, but if u put together 2 DHDs (one with bravia and one without), you can notice a difference when viewing the same photo.

I will attach some photos soon
[Desire HD Android Development] rosswaa:
Basically its a screen tweak! Not a camera tweak!!!!!!!!
[Desire HD Android Development] XxXPachaXxX:
The engine improve the on-phone quality! So if we want see differences we need to look on the phone's screen! (Like in gallery or a divx on phone)
[Desire HD Android Development] ViDtje:
Could you also please make a flashable zip for Android Revolution HD 6.1.x?
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
I have sent one to the op. I guess he will add it soon.

Also remember those flashable versions needs to be made for every ROM version. The build.prop will be replaced.

[Desire HD Android Development] shad0wboss:
Does it really make a difference to the on screen quality because even if i just flash the ARHD zip wouldn't it just add another service to my phone taking a bit of memory...i would do it if it's worth it
[Desire HD Android Development] sigurd_LU:
I appreciate your work, but isn't it a bit exaggerated to rename the rom to "XxXPachaXxX build" only because of this? ;)

But one can remove it from build.prop manually.
[Desire HD Android Development] ZoZo-:
Without Bravia

With Bravia

Sorry, could not get the preview to be small, could not be arsed to resize the images either :p
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
how did this pictures? are these photos from the screen or two different shots taken with your dhd?

according to the info here it only changes how the photos are displayed. so there cannot be any difference on the photo taken, only on how it is displayed on the device.

so what are you showing us with this?
[Desire HD Android Development] XxXPachaXxX:
oh, sorry. I implemented my build.prop in the zip, sorry, i'll upload a new zip with original buil.prop...THANKS!

Edit: Uploaded V2 version of zip with corrected permissions and original build.prop from RunnyV4
[Desire HD Android Development] akshay_redhat:
Revert Back

Wht if I want to revert back to original display how do i do????
[Desire HD Android Development] DubelBoom:
Thanks! But i didn't understand what it is XD
[Desire HD Android Development] ViDtje:
Just reflash your ROM.
[Desire HD Android Development] haerigrek:
You just made my day with this mod :D
[Desire HD Android Development] akshay_redhat:
I thought deleting the files in /system/etc and making the reverting back the changes in build.prop would be sufficient to revert back dont u think so?
[Desire HD Android Development] ViDtje:
That should also do the trick, but in my opinion it's easier to reflash the ROM you're using.
[Desire HD Android Development] robcen:
I tried zip one on dhd with black ice but after all my wifi and mobile data stopped working so I had to go back to stock.
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:

Why you didn't upload it to xda its only kb just my 2 cent coz i cant access thus multiupload XD
[Desire HD Android Development] hopscotchjunkie:
Can anyone explain exactly what the two files be_movie and be_photo are doing?

I'm confused by the description of 'post processing engine' for two files with a combined size of 1.44KB - that seems far too small to be doing any image processing. Are you just changing values (contrast/brightness?) used in the existing photo/video players? Or something else entirely?
[Desire HD Android Development] domanscy:
Ive just flashed mod..have a look on it..thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] renehd2:
i installed the .zip v1 of runnymede 4.0 but didnt notice any difference... is somethinf wrong? can someone post some samples? thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] akshay_redhat:
No Difference

I noticed a yellowish hue on the DHD screen nothing else where as people givin der scrren shots does'nt makes any difference with my I took 5 scrren shots on NORMAL screen as well as Bravia Engine screen bt when I transfer dem on system d c dem side by side no diffeerence at all and by the WHERE DOES THIS ENGINE WORK.......CAN NE BODY DESCRIBE IT....IS IT JST THE VIDEOS AND PHOTOS RECORDED.....OR ITS THE DISPLAY....dont cum to knw whts the sense behind posting d pics coz as far as I knw bravia engine is display engine and not camera engine :P
[Desire HD Android Development] cpx07:
The engine acts like a display "booster". It will not improve the quality of the pictures taken, it will improve the way they look on your DHD with Bravia Engine.
[Desire HD Android Development] FireBlast:
useless improvement :D
[Desire HD Android Development] domanscy:
on these samples can see the difference..
[Desire HD Android Development] hopscotchjunkie:
Well yeah, they're two different photos taken with the camera at different times. That's not going to demonstrate anything to do with this "engine" (they're clearly metered differently for one thing).
[Desire HD Android Development] renehd2:
well actually i can see a very little difference while surfing in my gallery photos of RCMix v.40.. when you change from a photo to another one, there is a little "like animation that i havent noticed before the patch.. so maybe this could be one thing?
[Desire HD Android Development] fredy915:
Has any one tried this on a honey sense HD ROM? I'm very interested in trying this out
[Desire HD Android Development] daedric:
Until this

option shows up, i'm calling it placebo.

There must be some magic on the sony framework, which we're missing.

And that's why the option doesn't show up with 2 files on the /etc folder, and a few settings on build.prop
[Desire HD Android Development] SAPPH1RE:
I think, sony framework is the main driver, what we have in the system/etc is just the configuration file. Without the main driver, there's no way we can alter DHD brightness/contrast other than the settings in display option.

And also, the size is too small to justify it as main driver. Heck, is not even a shell script..
[Desire HD Android Development] maatsby:
From OP: "IT's A Post-Processing Engine, so you can view the improvements only on your phone's screen"

So you need to appreciate the difference when you have 2 DHD's next to each other. My household is lucky enough to have just that situation, so I've taken some photos of the phones themselves (left is WITHOUT bravia, right is WITH bravia)

it's actually pretty hard to appreciate the difference in these photos, but in real life there were definite differences. The picture of the kookaburra on the clothes line looked better WITH bravia, the picture of the Coke sign looked better WITHOUT bravia.

I'm happy at least that there's a difference, but it's like someone said a few pages back, it seems like it will depend on which picture you're looking at!

I've also attached the original photos in a zip to download if anyone wants a closer look
[Desire HD Android Development] SAPPH1RE:
I can only see the difference in the first pic, but i notice that u taken the pic at slight tilt to the left. The difference could be the angle of pic taken by your camera. The DHD on the left is vibrant compared on the left, which probably due to the camera sensor perceived more light from the left DHD.

From what i learn about bravia mode, it increases the vibrancy of the image viewed on the screen, as i have a bravia lcd tv, which is damn vibrant especially when playing Uncharted 2 ;-)

But, the DHD on the right looks quite pale, while in my opinion, it should be vibrant if the bravia is working.

Maybe, but hey, if it's working for you, it's good and the OP does deserve a thanks. Maybe i just had a bad eyes..
[Desire HD Android Development] maatsby:
Yeah I had to tilt it because I was getting some colour artefact from the phone's screen protector. Which is actually still there, it was hard to get rid of it completely

I asked all of my family which one looked better without telling them which one was which. They agreed that the one with bravia was more vibrant and had sharper contrast compared to the one without, but that it made the kookaburra picture look better and the Coke sign look worse
[Desire HD Android Development] BIGMOH:
Just wondering is that what my Display setting menu should look like?

I just flashed my phone and all i get is this

Thanks in advance! :)
[Desire HD Android Development] saranhai:
is this mod only for Desire HD? or does it work on other devices as well...

someone posted it in the Mytouch 4G (Glacier) forums and i got real curious.. :rolleyes:
[Desire HD Android Development] daedric:
Every rom can be different on this aspect. Your's fine :)

I've checked the file and its scripts. All it does, is copy files to /system/etc, set permissions/owner, and add 2 lines to your build.prob.

So, IF IT WORKS, it should flash correctly and work on every other rom out there :)

[Desire HD Android Development] shad0wboss:
By looking at previous posts, it seems like it doesn't work without the original phone itself with its original display drivers? So i guess this is pretty much adding junk to your system? or am i wrong?

There are 8 pages and yet not even a single reply which definitely says whether it's a waste or it is useful.

One thing the files can do can be maybe if i remember, in cyanogen roms, there's an option about render effects? and maybe these files changes the render effects to make it look better?
[Desire HD Android Development] XxXPachaXxX:
Yes, i want to make flashable zip for each rom...so post me the build.prop in pm with rom name and version and eventully other, and i make the zip and post it in the main thread...THANKS!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Personally i see a difference with bravia, also in notification area, the white area now is "more" white
[Desire HD Android Development] romerovallin:
Did you try it for our device yet? This sounds really cool.
[Desire HD Android Development] daedric:
This post : Xperia Play Bravia Tweak as zips, one to enable, one to disable.

The script contains a shell script with:

#!/sbin/sh
busybox echo "" >> /system/build.prop
busybox echo "ro.service.swiqi.supported=true" >> /system/build.prop
busybox echo "" >> /system/build.prop
busybox echo "persist.service.swiqi.enable=1" >> /system/build.prop
busybox echo "" >> /system/build.prop

This adds the required tags to build.prop (assuming sh is in /sbin ).

Inside the system/etc are also the be_movie and the be_photo.

So this "hack", and as on all releases for different devices be_mobie and be_photo have always the md5sum, should work on every single device.

Problem is, it doesn't :) It's not working... (IMHO)
[Desire HD Android Development] saranhai:
I didn't yet, but Tez Mytouch did and he says he flashed the zip and its working

[Desire HD Android Development] shad0wboss:
lol you should read previous posts, i don't think this tweak even works so what's the point for asking it for every single rom.
[Desire HD Android Development] hamdir:
i add my voice i don't think it works, i've seen comparison shots in the HD2 forum and no i don't think its working on our DHD

Test it in an dark area and no flash!

thx
[Desire HD Android Development] DroidXAce:
Picture please ?! :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Dr. lele:
It DOES NOT change the quality of your photos taken with the camera!

It is a display "enhancer". It should alter the contrast and colours on the display of your DHD, nothing more!

So what you're having there is a nice, big placebo effect, nothing more :D
[Desire HD Android Development] Jainyankee1993:
Lol neither can I... I can't see a difference..
[Desire HD Android Development] lieuliau:
Can't really see the differences. Can anyone tell me how to check the differences please?
[Desire HD Android Development] sigurd_LU:
Why don't you read the thread? You'll find all the informations needed..
[Desire HD Android Development] kyleastley:
All this talk it working or its not working, just let people judge for themselves in my opinion can't reall notice a diffrence but that does not stop me using it. It does not cause any battery drain of any sort so we might as well keep it on our roms just to say we have bravia engine is installed. It would be nice to have a setting to switch on or off but that's minor.
[Desire HD Android Development] Rogoshin:
I use the Revolution HD rom, and to me it looks like the coloration is better. It seams like everything is a bit sharper.
[Desire HD Android Development] kyleastley:
Yes that's something I noticed aswell I think. Need to compare 2dhd side by side. But can't really do that as I only have 1 dhd in my household
[Desire HD Android Development] matt-86:
+1

Same problem for me, how can we see if the mod is working correctly? I think that a little percent of people can have the opportunity to compare 2 dhd's. Is there a way to see if the process is running correctly?

When i tiped the permissions in the terminal emulator nothing appeared.

I've seen this service in build.prop:

ro.service.swiqi.supported=true

persist.service.swiqi.enable=1

Is there a way to see if it's running? Can somebody help??....
[Desire HD Android Development] XeoNiCaLiTy:
Pictures look more colored and strong. When zooming in you'll see another layer of Bravia Engine going over it and sharpening things up. A couple of unsharp pictures are suddenly pretty sharp for me (made a lot of pictures last week).

Ofcourse, this only works ON the phone.

Thanks, nice addition, too bad I don't have the Bravia Engine everywhere :)
[Desire HD Android Development] CitizenLee:
I'll try this and compare with he guy sitting next to me who also has a DHD.

Probably tomorrow as work is pretty busy at the moment.

I'll report back when I have some info ;)

[Desire HD Android Development] LorD ClockaN:

it must be the full wipe
[Desire HD Android Development] hopscotchjunkie:
You can say you've got the Bravia Engine installed all you want, that doesn't necessarily mean it's true. I'm yet to be convinced that Sony's famed processing engine consists solely of a pair of binaries less than 2KB in size.

I'm also yet to see anyone explain exactly what these binaries are doing once they're shifted to /system/etc (or why there should even be binary files relating to audio/visual processing in a directory usually used for configuration files, especially since the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard specifies that /etc must not contain executable binaries). That would probably be more useful to developers who might want to use this "feature" than repeated posts from people claiming that it's made their camera better or their system smoother or that they can definitely see a difference, honestly, they can.
[Desire HD Android Development] daedric:
I challenge anyone to write a picture/video processor in 2KB :D

Irregardless, this mod os only ever worked on XPERIA handsets. Probably something ELSE on the framework/elsewhere. The build.prop settings probable exist (on official xperias) to enable something, which then uses those 2 files on /etc in their own way.

Is it stands, its either placebo, different light conditions while taking the pictures/viewing (different ambient brightness change screen brightness and that changes the pics on screen)
[Desire HD Android Development] shad0wboss:
wouldn't it be easier to write a script to enhance colors/sharpness rather than finding out how bravia engine works?
