Here is a video explaining the Sony Bravia Engine
http://www.sony.co.uk/hub/lcd-television/latest/article/id/1237477952647
And this is the Mobile Bravia
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B14Rle4s6tI
Has anyone compared the video recorded from the Xpera T phone on another android device and is there a significant difference in video quality?
Is there any way to make the phone transcode the video into a bravia quality version of the video being played?
Brava Engine is just an overlay. You only get the effects of it on an Xperia device with locked boatloader using the stock movies/album app.
If you transfer the video to a non Xperia device the effect is not there.

Software or hardware?

You can't even use it with unlocked boatloader I think, so porting it might be hard.

Nope has been done even to other devices so...

On my x10 and neo it was avaialble on custom roms based on stock and I had unlocked my bootloader. so I imagine it can beported to stock based roms here.
Does it work with Netflix? Or does it only work with Sony Album/Movie apps?

Only with those. About boatloader unlock, this is ever since the nxt series, on 2011 you can have unlocked boatloader and Bravia.
Maybe someone could port the Bravia from 2011 Xperias for unlocked t.

Anyone knows if there will be an update to 4.2?
I couldn't find an answer on the net but I read rumours that the Z will get the update soon (maybe march).
Is a fast port possible? or do you think we will get an official update too?

Sony have made no announcaements on future updates of the T past 4.1.2
If an official 4.2 is releaed for other xperia devices it should be easy to port to the T
PS, This is the second time I have wrote this post just today....please search
Well.better not put 4.2 on any device. This whole 4.2 is awfully optimized and with ton of bugs(g nexus and nexus 4) and they have the cleanest android so...

Got my hands over Xperia Z
was going through all the forums to root my device
doomlord 's way failed because the firmware i have is newer than what is been tested by Doomlord.
than i tried what i always do
ok I'm repeating myself this time on Xperia forum.
1) unlock bootloaders from sony's own site
2) flash Doomlords kernel for stock firmware which is with recovery
3) get into recovery and flash the zip attached
now you have super user and can install all that stuff needs root.
have a nice day!
And now you also have
1.Invalidate warranty
2.Bravia Engine 2 will not work anymore
3.Download music info, trackid... may also not work..
Doomlords way is fully working on locked bootloader you just need to downgeade kernel. If you have newer fw

1. Music Info works
2.And yes you're right dooms method works like a charm , no need to unlock bl just for rooting
@general: well it's obviously that you can root you device this way, because your bl unlocked. If you don't plan to use a custom kernel /rom you better root using doom's method.

in germany it's like that: if you buy a new product, the law enforces the manufacturer/dealer to give a 2-year-warranty on the product. this 2-year-warranty can't be reduced or limited (normally).
the manufacturer/dealer might give an optional warranty for another X years, but that's up to him.
so sony might say that their additional, optional, voluntary warranty might get lost when unlocking the bootloader, but they cannot reject the warranty enforced by law. to do so, they will have to prove that unlocking the bootloader is definitely the cause for the devices' fault.
let's say the power button isn't working anymore, and the device is 1 year old, then sony can't reject only because of an unlocked bootloader. it will be very hard for them to plausible prove that unlocking the bootloader damaged the power button. if the device is, let's say, 3 years old, then they can reject.
at least in germany this is the case, and i guess in many other countries as well. in germany they distinguish between "gewährleistung" (warranty by law) and "garantie" (optional, voluntary warranty given by manuf./dealer).
(unfortunately, i don't know the proper english translation for the german words, and my translation app shows "warranty" in both cases.)
I read on these forums that even requesting B/L unlock code from Sony is sufficient grounds to deny warranty - whether you unlock or not

Easiest root ever is with program called KINGO ANDROID ROOT its only one click root. No need for kernel downgrada, i use it on official .67 firmware and it works like charm. I saw it somewhere on xda and download it its imba.

Kongo root has been removed from XDA because of malware or something.
Doomlords method is the one to use

I really want to flash android 4.4 on my z but i don't have a clue. Any detail solutions?
Official 4.4 is not relesaed. You only can flash a custom rom bur not more..

I mean the aosp one but I don't know how to use adb to flash the rom
Have you backed up your TA partition and unlocked you bootloader?
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
either read the stickies and learn or if you don't know what you are doing then why risk bricking the device?
i'd suggest reading up on adb commands and unlocking boot loaders etc before anything if you still don't know what are you doing then leave the device as it is
