No. If you unlock your bootloader it will only work with Adobe Reader, Busybox and PowerAmp. :silly:

I will explain better for you...
Some guys here on XDA reported working be2 on Movies and YouTube after unlocking, because of this I made this post trying to confirm this...

Just to be clear, Bravia Engine 2 works only in the stock gallery app, and maybe in Movies too, but not in any 3rd party app.

Hi,
According to Sony...
"For still images, it is only supported in Gallery app in GB SW, and in Album app in ICS SW. It is not supported for 3rd party image viewer applications.
For video, it is supported for any third party app which uses Android MM Framework (including YouTube app) as well as our preloaded video viewing app's." - Source.
Although the above regards the Xperia S which ran Bravia Engine (1st gen) it would most likely also apply to our device even though we have Bravia Engine (2nd gen), also it is worth checking this page out.

Thanks :good:

Yes it works, in mx player with hw decoding or with any video player that uses hw decoding.It works in old youtube app but not with update. It wont work with album tho after unlocking.You can see the difference by switching hw and sw decoding in mx player.(only in stock sony roms)

Yes it works for me too haven't lost any Sony feature after unlocking boot loader

Hey Guys, I tried Almost all the media/Video players present in the MARKET
but those are unable to play some MP4 files on custom roms(almost all roms).
Only stock rom can play them
but i don't like stock rom. So please help or share your idea if anyone have?

HD videos lagging on CM10

whenever i play HD videos specially mkv file 720p, the video playback lagging. but when i play lower resolution videos, the playback is smooth.
I use CM10 rom, and MX player . how can i fix this lag?
I think it's because of the screen resolution. Remember, your screen is only 480x800 and the minimum resolution to play HD video is 1280x720.

The problem lies within your original intentions.
I am assuming MX Player is running the video codec through a software decoder (SW) so you shouldn't be expecting considerable performance, especially when you are pushing the device past its intended playback capabilities.
Nah its the kodecks. Stock could play 720p vids smooth because it has samsung codecks,CM10 has not. They are somehow registered by samsung and belongs to stock roms. I read about this long time ago when I flashed CM7. For 720p videos i suggest you to use any good 3rd developer media app such as any other than mx player. Sw decoding will never be as good as hw but samsung got the hw drivers so we are in problem
P.S. Remember to download the codeks for ARMv7 for mx player.

[Q] When does the Sony Bravia Engine 2 work?

Searched online came out empty.
When does the engine2 work?? YouTube videos? Movies that I add to the phone?
Any pictures or videos that are viewed in the Sony Album app perhaps?
THanks!

It works when viewing pics on the album, watching movies with the standard video player. It also works on youtube and with some 3rd party video players that support hardware decoding, such as MX player
It also should be noted that when you unlock your bootloader, you also lose BE.

As stated before videos, pics and supported 3rd party players. you can notice the effect if you open one of the standard sony pics from the widget. it opens it up and then changes the color nocitebly

[Q][PORT][ALT] Alternatives and Porting of Stock Apps (Video Player)?

I really like some of LG's so-called "Optimus UI 3.0" apps.. and i know that its extremely difficult to port it to other ROMs..
the JB V20a update has (pathetically) slowed down my phone.. so, i am planning to flash CM.. :fingers-crossed:
So, plz suggest me alternatives (free/paid) to LG stock apps, especially..
Video Player
Quick Memo and Memo (Port by arararagi)
Messaging
Camera (Port by iodak)
Dialer
Contacts
thanks, in advance!
MX Player.
Sent from my LG-P880 using Tapatalk 2
Well there is no direct alternative but-
MX Player
Google Keep
Sliding Messeging Pro or Go Messeging
I was going to suggest Google Keep if you like keeping things Google, but I've never used it, nor any other memo app.
Sent from my LG-P880 using Tapatalk 2
mx player, for sure
in CM u still can take screenshots by default. but for notes u'll need google keep.
and why do u wanna change messaging app?!

I use keep. It is beautiful. Nova launcher with Galaxy S4 theme would be just great looking on CM. Stock CM camara is useless.

None of them, exept live zooming in middle is implemented. Someone has to port the app. Wait till anyone does.

Good job! :good:
afaik, it's difficult to port stock apps due to their heavy reliance on OS and vendor-specific architecture..
but, i guess, it's not impossible..
Can you please try to port the video player (stock app) to CM or as an independent app for any other ROM?
Thanks in advance!
can anyone port Contacts app, the CM one sucks big time!!!
If everybody need to port almost or all stock LG apps to CM, why don't you go back to use stock ROM? :beer:

a ROM is much more than the stock apps it provides!
CM 10.1 is immensely customizable and versatile.. not to mention it gives you the latest JB 4.2.2 features..
Its updates are also regular and well-tested..
I just want the good features provided by LG (via a few of their stock apps) without the additional bloatware..

Vplayer is the only working video player on Day Three 4.3 for Nexus 7 Gen I and II

Hi:
Just an FYI, whether you get 4.3 on the original Nexus 7 or on the new one, most video players won't work--Dice Player, VLC, MX etc. don't work. Fortunately, Vplayer, free, does. The only one for the time being.

I have BS working for now, not a patch on MX Player in my opinion. Waiting for the update.
This is probably MX Player's biggest problem. The developer for it is extremely slow to respond. Considering the money has had made off the app, you'd think he'd be a bit quicker about it.

+1 - this nightly of VLC is the only app I can find following updating to Jellybean 4.3 that will play 720p MKVs with AC3 audio as smooth as MX Player does on 4.2.2.
getting error code when trying to install it
Which VLC nightly should be used on N7 v4.3? They list V6Arm with FPU, V6ARM no FPU, and V7ARM.
I used the v7 (VLC-debug-20130726-1426.apk specifically) which works fine.

IIRC the latest BS player .162(?) had a problem playing videos for me- it would load up but just flash back to the video selection page. however when i went back a version .161(?), all was fine
odd.
