Is it possible ( maybe a mod or custom rom) to enable the bravia engine through the whole UI.. it looks great when playing movies and pictures.. would be excellent through the UI
if there was a way, it would be all over the XDA now..

This is a short demonstration of the new hardware accelerated graphic engine and some other nice features of TouchXperience, like G-Scrolling and multi-touch.

i must say the interface looks superb and very smooth and the animated wallpaper looks neat!
is this an app or a rom?
i wonder when will it be released
I see a lot of of roms with the Sony bravia engine I looked it up but I don't fully understand can anybody give me some info on as for the rom part can we incorporate it into our roms

i'm pretty sure the Bravia engine is a chipset like on sony's tv's and not rom specific, which is why it's only available in sony phones. i have had sony phones in the past & looked recently at the expria line, the video has always been superb!
They have ported. It to phones from htc but I entirely don't know

Exactly why can't we make use of it. If it can be ported over something like the g2x why not us?

It's from the sony xperia roms, it contained some "Bravia mobile engine". Didn't really do anything.
apparently it has if it's been induced into other Roms for something but I entirely don't know

http://www.sonyericsson.com/product/xperiaarc/video/mbe/ Xperia arc mbe (mobile bravia engine) cheesy vid on the se site but might give you an idea of what it does.
http://talk.sonyericsson.com/thread/15365 Q&A on the SE forums about what the mbe really is, user asks if it's just an image enhancer software and the mod(S/E Employee) responds with
The Mobile BRAVIA (Best Resolution Audio Visual Integrated Architecture) technology is a suite of image processing technologies and offers:
Improved image quality from any signal like photos, filmed videos, YouTube videos, flash animations and websites
Clearer, sharper and more natural images
The LED back-lit Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA® Engine reduces light reflection when used outdoors.
The advantages of the BRAVIA Engine that it is a digital video processing system that produces following better image quality:
More realistic blacks
Sharper edge definition
Further noise reduction
Enhanced contrast
Advanced natural colours
Digital Reality Creation (DRC) up-scales standard definition inputs by quadrupling the number of pixels in the image source to create HD picture quality
This is the hardware used:
Our Sony Ericsson Xperia™ Mobile phones with Mobile BRAVIA technology uses a built-in Adreno 205 graphic processor with following features:
Supported APIs:
OpenGL ES 2.0
OpenGL ES 1.1
OpenVG 1.1
EGL 1.3
Direct3D Mobile
SVGT 1.2
Direct Draw
GDI
Concurrent CPU, Digital signal processing (DSP), graphics and Mini Display Port (MDP)
I hope the above information clarifies your idea on the Mobile Bravia Engine.

I know the arc etc (anything that I know I've seen the mbe running on) is using the qualcomm adreno gpu, although I'm pretty sure our sgx chips support all the API's listed above it might be a real roadblock not having that chip. Also, the software was real garbage, it was only on when you were viewing an image or your desktop or something like that, if you opened a full screen vid it shut off. Here's a dev thread where someone ported it from the arc to the play (should be the most basic port for this software since both phones use the same hardware) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1246402 Sounds like hassle for something that doesn't work when you want it to. If you really want to try it out I would download the cwm install files from the xperia play thread, unzip them, push the be_movie and be_photo to /system/etc/, chmod them to 755 just like the updater script does and add these 2 lines to your build.prop
Code:
ro.service.swiqi.supported=true
persist.service.swiqi.enable=1
This would be the quick/dirty way I would use to just see if it works personally. All the instructions I wrote came out of the updater-script from the play port basically.
I had the arc for ~2 months before getting rid of it but IIRC there were only 2 instance when the mbe was active, when viewing images with gallery and ?videos on youtube?? If I can find a system dump of the new bell firmwares(not the patch files but every time I ask for a dump someone links me patch files lol) I might take a look for you and see about popping it in a rom.
Okay thank you but seems like it's just a display enhancer could we modify it and make it universal Like a dsp manager

It may, my only concern would be that (unless it is actually working on the SGS2) is it running on any phones that aren't using the qualcomm adreno gpu? And wouldn't it/shouldn't it be much more optimized for that hardware/would we really see any benefit from it at all?
I was wondering if flashing bravia engine makes any REAL difference in our phone (may be in others you can feel the difference) or is it just placebo effect?
No difference...
Sent from my phone powered by 4.2
me too i dont really see a difference ...
count me too...even i doubt there is any effect of this hiphop in any mobile. Sonys marketing policies.
Tried to sew it on p 500, the difference is not noticed
So, as I thought it's another placebo effect after all.
i would also say so,
there are also some tweaks for the photo and videos what do you think is there any difference with or without them?
you can find them like the bravia engine in pimp my rom..... is everything placebo or are there some improvments in the quality of the pictures/videos???
Sony BRAVIA Engine 3 Ported To The Galaxy Note II
The Sony Mobile BRAVIA Engine 3 is a video enhancement program for Sony phones. It uses filters and algorithms to create a clearer and more contrasted picture and an overall smoother experience. This is perfect for the Note II's huge HD screen but can be a little to saturated for people like photographers who want to see how the photo looks exactly with out any enhancements. The change is not huge but is definitely noticeable if two devices are compared. This program is very light weight and works with all models of the Note II so far.
While the latest BRAVIA ENGINE 3 builds on tried and tested BRAVIA ENGINE technology, it does so with the advantage of a new picture processing software.
This new technology has allowed BRAVIA ENGINE to improve - even in respect to its own dazzling performance:
Contrast. Increased depth and clarity, as well as new light control technology to control peak brightness levels, means stunning images even on the brightest of scenes.
Colours. New colour histogram technology detects and optimises overall colour distribution of each frame. This technology delivers breathtaking colour by making millions of improvements to each frame before you even see it.
Detail. Advanced Noise Reduction lies behind BRAVIA’s ability to show you every blade of grass on a football pitch and really put you at the heart of the action.

Done!
Tested by me on and working my optimus 4x HD rom JellyBeer 4.32
But it should work on all devices

What about videos ? I mean recording a video ? Does it look better ? colors and contrast ?
I will never understand those who want to ruin the real colors. For me, the screen is supposed to give the best reproduction of the real colors.
Lie will never be better than the truth - even when the photo/video is creepy.

I honestly cant say for sure since I've been using this so long I don't remember what it would look without the Bravia Engine, that said, as far as I know...this does not affect videos in any way...photos only.

Because its a smartphone. A device for fun and entertainment as well as business and communications.
Want real colors and truth, look away from the screen.
would this work on my LG motion? or only on optimus 4X
Is this working on SlimBean 1.8?

I've tested this mod on cm10.2 (although can't tell the difference), so it will most likely working fine on any CM based rom such as slim bean.

Hello everyone,
Today i got my z1, after being a gs3 user for almost two years.
All day today i've been educating myself around unlocking, flashing tools etc, as z1 and s3 are a little bit different.
I would like to ask a question, after flashing a cm based rom i noticed that the colors on the screen are a little bit washed-out comaring when on stock rom.
Is it me or is this really happening? And if so.. is there anyway to edit the contrast or sharpness or maybe implement the bravia engine to cm11 rom?
Thanks in advance
thats because x reality is gone acter u install cm/AOSP....xreality tweaks the display slightly to increase colour reproduction

X-reality (Bravia Engine for you) only works in select Sony apps with pictures and videos only anyway, it doesn't apply its effects to the screen. Main difference is probably the video drivers used in CM as opposed to the proprietary Sony ones on Sony ROMs. There's no way around it probably unless you know about kernel coding. (maybe)

it works on picture and videos watched in youtube and google chrome. I saw it once on my phone, so they are not work only on sony apps.
In kitkat update.... Xreality also works in a 3rd party app like mx player......but yes.. The grphics driver seem to be a better explanation
