It is working as default with locked bootloader. No need to flash something else
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] XperiaS_Lt26i:
I never unlock my bootloader, but the bravie engine doesn't work in my phone. :eek:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Late Scapegoat:
Not really. XZX contains the "Bravia Engine 2" mod which means that it is working in Album (pictures) but not in Movies (videos).

The way to make it work in movie is - ironically - to revert to BE1 as described by m1st3r1.

1. Edit the file build.prop in /system:

Find:

ro.service.swiqi2.supported=true

persist.service.swiqi2.enable=1

and edit to:

ro.service.swiqi.supported=true

persist.service.swiqi.enable=1​

2. Paste in /system/etc the files "be_movie" and "be-album" with from stock rom (there is already a "be_movie" in this folder so it needs to be replaced).

Set the permissions of these files to rw-r--r--

3. Reboot
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] XperiaS_Lt26i:
can you give me the be_movie & be_album from stock rom?

or I can use these files from XZX rom?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zhuhang:
niaboc79 himself say it works on video
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Late Scapegoat:
Hi Zhuhang,

I haven't seen him say that, can you quote, or give me a link?

BE in videos didn't work on my Xperia S in XZX, and a bunch of people in the XZX thread are reporting the same thing.

Now it may turn out to be a device-specific issue but I can confirm with certainty that there was no difference with and without in the test video that I use to check. Same thing when I flashed the BE2 mod on my stock .45 ROM.

For those who want to revert to BE1 as explained above, I've attached the needed files. Don't forget to set the permissions properly and edit build.prop!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Gripa98:
I have XZX with BE2 and it works perfectly
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jacek02b:
hey did I need boatloader unlocked ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Gripa98:
No. It works with locked bootloader.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Leo:
though TX got JB os

it do not ccontain the BE2

This mod increases the saturation contrast and sharpness of the pic...

N it does it with real smartness..... Making the pic perfect....thank you so much for this mod...

One thing I couldn't understand.... How did the mbe1 in settings change to mbe2 without editing the framework....

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ItBankRock:
I don't know I am on unlocked bootloader but when I play videos with BE turned on I can see that BE is working :eek: ONLY WITH VIDEOS. Why is this happening lol? Is this magic?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zcffcz:
i don't think so. you can compare the screenshots, BE2 doesn't work on stock Movie app but BE1 works

How do I know if it works?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] emompong:
i believe you're right.. i made a comparison and it sucks, so what's the fix then? any suggestion? album displays BE2 perfectly.. but not in movies.

Bravia engine 2 works also on Jelly Bean :)

Verstuurd van mijn LT26i
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] boyheadkick:
They're talking about if it actually works ie. if the saturation is corrected or the contrast and colors are adjusted when playing videos..not just if its checked or not

boyheadkick™
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zhuhang:
I never really notice BE2 working, I don't purposely go and notice the difference, anyone actually got an idea of this?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] emompong:
BE2 works only in Albums/viewing pictures.. im sure many had noticed that... it doesn't work on videos... whatever videoplayer it is. I had 2 Xperia acro S with XAS 1 = BE1 (stock/not rooted - my freind's) and my XAS modded and has BE2.....

Apparently, Album/picture viewing is more vivid and enhanced with my acros with BE2.. (not that big difference though but it works!)..

and SADLY, i then tried to play same movie to both phones but XAS 1(BE1) is more vivid than mine with BE2..

so going into the conclusion, there is something missing with the mod of BE2 for our devices and im thinking that they made it possible to run it with images so with movie as well.. just need to recheck everything i guess... but im now knowledgeable to do so.

If this will not be fixed at the moment, i prefer to switch back to BE1 that's why im asking.

---------- Post added at 01:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 AM ----------

thanks for the idea, appreciate it.. but have you already tried it? i once tried it but it doesnt work.. my last resort it to switch back to stock rom or replace the files from the ROM package im using with the ones from stock..

any thoughts anyone? (not ready for trial and error.. need my phone these days)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] boyheadkick:
I did with my sola..didnt notice too much of a difference..if there were, i think it was too subtle

for those who Unlocked their bootloader, is there any way to have BE2 and also keep the bootloader unlocked?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Alikalix:
For me BE2 is not working on JB. It is allowed in the Settings but has no effect in Album. On ICS it worked. Locked BL, version by Doomlord pre-rooted.

I can't really tell the difference to be1.

The one in the xperia arc forum doesn't work too, it's just placebo effect.

And you wrote "I see my wallpaper brown after this" in arc forum I saw. It's definitely placebo, because BE doesn't affect wallpaper.

Edit: I get it now, I will write same thing to there too.

Also, it will be great to understand if it works with unlocked bootloader!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] erorcun:
The one on the arc forum and the one on the op are same.

Locked BL, using AX album, it appears BE2 is working by looking at the stock photo.

I can't confirm but I think this some how messed up with the album art display in the walkman.

I get it fixed by installing AX walkman but then without those new stuff as the current found here seems to break xloud.

That's really confusing... we should proceed in two directions, one is trying to backup drm keys from GB, the second is to make BE2 working even with ICS unlocked BL
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Daniel_GB:
i have tested PAC Rom...Bravia is not working there too.

and bravia is not something we can can simply port!

if u see they ported it on other devices,it does not mean that its working!

they think its working because they have not seen working Bravia on Sony devices & the difference between On/Off conditions!

it has significant effects.

we need someone like DooMLord or Bin4ry to take a look at it or sony fix it in JB update!

what if we flash .75 first to retrieve the drm keys then update ics via pc companion?will it work?
