Did you install it via terminal emulator? I'm not sure if I did it right. I entered all the commands but didn't see anywhere to save it. I just exited out of it.
[HTC Sensation] rayarny:
Did it on Energy rom..no difference what so ever :S..considering I did it right..which I think I did :D
[HTC Sensation] lexic4all:
did it on ARHD and read it again!!

flashed via recovery
[HTC Sensation] Ace42:
Just add the comments to your build.prop...It's in /system/build.prop

After that you reboot and look at some images or a video and you may see something new...
[HTC Sensation] lexic4all:
well i reflashed ARHD WITHOUT BE and watched same video for 11 times, and now i have ARHD with BE and i think that it does something to video sharpening.

the text is ultra sharp THANKS A BUNCH now to show it off to my friends
[HTC Sensation] mzhmiah:
I did that. And the original post also says to go in terminal emulator. That's where I'm a bit confused because I did go in and I typed everything but I didn't see an option to save what I typed.
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
What text?

It's only for images and video....
[HTC Sensation] Gtj94:
He might be referring to text in his pictures .. :P

Look at that link, the Senny has the files but I want comparison images....
[HTC Sensation] fxzy:
Any comparison between image before bravia engine and after bravia engine activation ?

[HTC Sensation] djice000:
This is where I'm a bit confused....some people are saying this adds a bravia subsetting in the settings menu, and some are saying about terminal emulator etc....I edited build.prop and pushed the files in the zip to system/etc. And now I read stuff about terminal emulator....what is required because this is really confusing lol
[HTC Sensation] n1kon:
The terminal is only used to change the file permissions
[HTC Sensation] ausaras:
baadnewz made an InsertCoin update for the Bravia Engine.

I don't know if I am imagining it but i think the texts in the menus actually do look smoother and better. Plus, the during scrolling, the texts do not fade out while moving like before.

I watched a recorded clip and i think video is better, too.

I flashed Bricked XE test kernel before flashing the InsertCoin Bravia Engine update so the *improvements* might came from both...

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

I forgot to mention that my screen has a reddish hue but after applying the Bricked XE test kernel and the Bravia Engine for InsertCoin, the reddish hue is much less noticeable.

Again, might just be my imagination...
[HTC Sensation] big_smurf:
Can someone who has got it working please post some before and after screenshots for comparrison. I'm interested to see if it really works.

Hahahahaha you can only see this on your screen, this is like screenshots capture brightnes :)))))))))))

After

The after picture is a little brighter when looking at the color of the table. This is a screenshot of a picture in my phone.
[HTC Sensation] x-mann:
Anyone tryed this with NRGZ`s Energie rom?
[HTC Sensation] n1kon:
You do realise that those images will look the same as the be only runs on the device lol.
[HTC Sensation] n1kon:
Slap yourself for asking the most stupidest question asked today. Lol. Joke. The quailty difference can only be seen by you having an image on your device before and after u falsh it and checking that way. Screen capture only catches the image on screen. It's your device that renders it.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Just done a little search on the whole bravia thingy, not convinced tbh, engine in 900kb? Probably much more is involved with framework and other things. Someone could do screenshots of before and after, difference, if any, should be visible.
[HTC Sensation] Ace42:
Sony framework should feature additional libs and framework files for this to work properly, I doubt nonSony Roms have all the bravia files. But, maybe someone can take a picture of the phone with a camera of before and after?
[HTC Sensation] bcpk:
Yeah, those images are 100% exactly the same (tested using GIMP). Any difference the poster saw on his computer was probably just different contrast from the viewing angle on his monitor.
[HTC Sensation] schoei1:
I agree after studying the two pictures earlier.
[HTC Sensation] n1kon:
I still don't get why people think can can see a difference with screen shoots. If you had a bravia tv and a cheap tv and play the same DVD you will see a difference but if you grab an image from both and look at them both on the same screen side by side they will be the same as the image came from the same DVD not the screen itself. The only way you could see the difference is to try it yourself. Plus on a screen this small its like trying to see the difference between 720p and 1080p on the phone. It's there if you want it. It may work it may not. Who really cares. Tbh the difference would be so small so what's the point.
[HTC Sensation] Jimmah555:
These are not the droids you are looking for.
[HTC Sensation] TJD319:
Hey, I found a problem this mod caused. I'm running RCMix V09.

After adding the mod, when going to Connected Media > Videos, I select a video to play and it asked me to choose the player. I choose the HTC Sensation and the video played is the first in my list. All of this is usual, but here comes the issue. After hitting the Back button to select another video, it reloads the list and then re-prompts for me to select the player. After this, it only plays the first video again.

Basically, using the builtin video player only allows me to watch the first video in the list. I deleted the mod and removed the build.prop tweaks and then it worked just as it always did.

Just thought id share since it buggered up the video player.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Because what changes is the actual picture,digital party of it,not how LCD display shows it. Using your analogy. Same video treated with HTC engine and with bravia engine are recorded on the exactly the same medium and displayed on the same tv. Get it? .
[HTC Sensation] ausaras:
Does anyone know how the Bravia Engine works???

Does it work by acting as a layer and simply improve the display of photos (not modifying the photos themselves)? If this is how it works, I am not sure screen shots would be a 100% valid evaluation method because we don't know if screen shots also uses the Bravia Engine

One method I can think of is taking a camera and take a photo of your mobile phone...but human factor is the problem in this method.

Anyway, I flashed it and I think it does make my videos and texts look better. Photos...not so much.
[HTC Sensation] NRGZ28:
Sadly... yes.

To everyone else, quit wasting your time with this. I'm going to move this to general as this is definitely not "development".

[HTC Sensation] townay:
This certainly looks tempting but after reading through the comments, I am somewhat..skeptical. Some say there is a little difference, others see no change.

I'll keep a lookout on this thread hoping to see a positive result, especially since the bravia engine had been ported to HD2

[HTC Sensation] vegi71:
installed on arhd 3.6.7 and definitely noticing a difference. icons and text look sharper, colors are slightly more vibrant. i'll be keeping it if it doesn't eat my battery. :)

edit: after a bit more testing i'm not sure it is doing anything. guess i just hadn't noticed text and icon sharpness till i installed this.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
And on that note we all agree that Bravia thingie on Senny is bulls**t. Thanks for your input guys, saves me and may others flashing mod and reflashing nandroid.
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
It might be a placebo effect, but some items do seem better and sharper. The icons on the homescreen for one, feel more HD to them.
[HTC Sensation] cyber_system:
Software and better screen ?!"#¤

Hey :)

Firs of all, it is nice to see that we have som awsome dev.

In my world you cant make a screen better with software :)

You can only add some tweaks :) that can improve it a little

I will give it a try, but i doubt that i can see any difference

Keep up the good work :)

[HTC Sensation] boesky:
Since nobody's taken the initiative, here's my experience with this addon.

And please, this was done with no tripod, no clamp for my phone, whatsoever. Just me doing my best. No flaming.

Absolutely no point zooming in or anything, take it at face value; just view it at a size comparable to your phone's screen size (3.7", 4.3", etc).

Personally, I'm sticking with stock, cause I really don't see any added benefit. PERHAPS there IS a slight increase in overall vibrancy, but that's offset by what I perceive to be poorer single-color performance.

tried with my sensation and my friend's one...obviously one with and one without BE...

I tried to view the same image and:

WITHOUT: whites are warmer (yellow/red), less definition, some noise...but the image was really good, instead

WITH: more sharpness, white is really white, more brilliant, more light...colors are true, even if cold
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Prozac69:
Has anyone else noticed that when in the web browser, and specifically doing a search in Google Images, when you click on the image to view it the image appears full screen but very blocky! (see 1st image below). Then, when clicking to view 'full size', you get a smaller, clearer image.

Why is the 1st image shown so badly scaled? I have tried this in stock browser, Dolphin and Opera Mobile and they all do the same!

Can anyone else confirm that theirs is the same?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] XxXPachaXxX:
Hello guys :D i'm very happy to share with you this...

BRAVIA ENGINE

! Enjoy :p

I tell about this: video :p

IT's A Post-Processing Engine, so you can view the improvements only on your phone's screen...enjoy new quality!

1) GUIDE for Manual Installation on each Rom! (2.2 & 2.3)

-Download BraviaE Files Pack: HERE

-Extract files on phone and put they in the directory:

[B]/system/etc[/B]

-Open /system/build.prop with a text editor (like RootExplorer)

and add these lines at the end:

#Additional Tweaks by XxXPachaXxX

#Bravia Engine Service
ro.service.swiqi.supported=true
persist.service.swiqi.enable=1

-Then, Save the file and Exit

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

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

-Fully Reboot the device and enjoy BRAVIA :p

DOWNLOADS:::INFO:::SUPPORT
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bruciato:
hi, I had tried but when I write on emulator "busybox chmod 0755 /system/etc/be_photo

" it replies to me "Busybox permission denied"!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] barclays:
which ROM is supported??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
It's supposed to work only when viewing photos/vids?

If so, it seems to work for me. Contrast bumped a bit.

Unity 2.39 on European DZ, if anyone's interested.

Would be good if it's possible to add this BE toggle to settings, to disable/enable it on the fly (to compare the image quality, for ex.)

Thanks for your post.

edit: nope, it seems it doesn't work. got another dz to compare and there's absolutely no difference in image quality.

maybe some devs will get their hands on this thing?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GunToYoMouth123:
Flashable zips ? 0_o where?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheUndertaker21:
Yeah I'd like the flash zip

Not into changing permission and crap. Too lazy

Also will it work on miui and cm7?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dk2000zx:
Same xD Flashing a zip would be nicer than messing with permissions xD
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
Thanks for your work, but I've tried it and this makes no difference whatsoever.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mejorguille:
I've installed it without a problem. I don't see very much difference between having it enabled or not, and installation is too cumbersome to maintain everytime I update to a new rom or nightly. Its cool, but too much hastle. Make it a flashable zip if you want more people to use it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jspina:
Not the biggest difference in the world. But it still looks really nice and it's a joy to use. I love it!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stargazer418:
Type "su -", press enter, than type the busybox command.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
Honestly, I'm not even sure if this even runs at all. Putting two files in /system/etc and adding 2 lines to build.prop doesn't seem to me that it makes anything run. I'm not 100% sure how build.prop works, so I might be wrong.

I've tried the fix on one G2 and compared to another G2 on the same picture, at the same time. Exact same picture quality, but then again, my eyes might not be good enough.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erichung_13:
eyes might not be good enough? lol :p

If you cannot see the difference then obviously the quality change is insignificant enough to disregard the trouble of typing in all these commands
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hoffmas:
I applied this patch, but i have to say for me its also hard to see the difference... Is there any way to proof that its working?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bruciato:
no it was a problem with su..now works!But I can't see particular changes..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
I agree. I can't tell a difference on video either. I CAN tell when Sony did it's demo but this... nada. I smell bs here. I doubt a rendering engine can be so small. It seems like these are just files that accompany an engine and not the full deal. The OP needs to come up with some proof that this sh!t runs because the consensus is that same everywhere he posts this: it doesn't do a thing!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ngc604:
This is a dev forum. But I have only seen one person reply with anything dev worthy. By that I mean what rom they are using. Just saying you ran this on a g2 or a DZ does not help anything. More info about what your running would be best to make this discussion worth anything.

Also. What video are you attempting to view? Something converted to the phones resolution? Video taken with the phone? A blueray 1080p rip? I see alot of *****ing but no info coming forth.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
it was me, lol :D

But ROM name/version won't help here IMO.

The files OP has uploaded are too small.

And the contents is quite strange. Not an ELF or any other binary. Maybe just a screen color profile, sort of ICC. But it won't work if we just put them onto phone.

There should be some service to manage all these things. Something from /system/lib or /system/framework. There's something about "swiqi" service in original post, but there's no file for this.

Why should our rom just use files put to /etc?

So I'm guessing it won't work... maybe just yet :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
that's what I was saying... there are no lib files or any type of an engine to run this overlay. It doesnt work that way.

if the galaxy S' screen is known to be way better than the iphone 4 ( AMOLED vs Retina ) then how come when i hold my friend's iphone i see his phone's display looking wayyy much better than my galaxy ? even at full brightness , mine still looks yellow/ or darker than his screen

iam using Hybrid rom / semaphore kernel

and i get these results or worse on different roms and kernels , any idea why and how to fix it ?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JazonX:
Probably what he says he correct. I'm no expert, But if you look real close at the display screens (you can notice this on letters), You can see the dots (pixels) that made up each letter (or an image) on galaxy S. (and S ii as well).

But on iPhone, The Pixels are not visible, thus makes the image more smooth and clearer.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeartFan40:
Screen on my SGS II looks great. Fonts look smooth and clear; even small font sizes. IMHO, I think the the Super AMOLED+ display looks much better than the screen on the iPhone 4. It's brighter, has far better color saturation, and is more energy efficient. I prefer AMOLED displays over traditional LCD because AMOLED displays have self illuminating pixels, which means no backlighting is needed, making for an evenly lit display. (no bright spots or shadowing).

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mathijs727:
My uncle has an iPhone4 and his screen may be more crisp, but the colors on my sgs is so much better.

If you want the best screen available buy a galaxy nexus, the screen has almost (just a few procent) the same ppi as the iPhone, but its a super amoled screen so the colors are much more vivid then the iPhone.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhu1:
I phone's screen is 3.5" and sgs's screen is 4.0" and so even if they had equal resolutions then iPhone would have came out better . Here we are talking about brightness and colours and I don't believe iPhone has any comparison with this beauty I am typing this reply on.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YEA64:
The screen of the Galaxy S IS better. Maybe you were not at full brightness oder sth like that .. :)

It's really supposed to be better, like the people before me posted.

A iphone user will say "mine is better" .. don't mind :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhu1:
Haha, maybe he was at low battery when he compared his sgs with iphone .
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] investmenttechnology:
Iphone has way more pixels than the i9000. plus iphone does not use pentile.

iphone is 960x640 x 3 (normal rbg is 3 subpixels per pixel)= 1 843 200 subpixels

samsung i9000 is 800x480x2(pentile is 2 subpixels per pixel) = 768 000 subpixels

1843000/768000=2.4

so iphone has 2.4 times more subpixels than the i9000.

plus iphone has a small smaller screen, considering all these factors, iphone will no doubt look better. But ask yourself, how much marginal utility (real usable benefits) would you get out of a such high density screen?

My answer is there is no really extra benefits you can get out.

Blah blah blah. The retina display has higher pixel density; so what. This forum is about Android, not iPhone. I think I speak for most when I say that nobody cares about the iPhone or it's retina display. Apple's idea of state of the art is a recycled iPhone 4 with 3g? I'll pass. You fanboys can keep your overpriced, old technology.
