No, he actually didn't. What's your point?
"TripNarc V08" bravia engine is working .... you can put on a cd as 007 TW wolf .. by the way is the best ...
It's placebo, So consider it implemented in every rom & you're good to go
I tested the Trip's 50% implemented Bravia engine vs. Wolf's 6.1.3 and there was no difference in video quality. Although, pictures did look a bit crisper via the TripNArc rom. It was not mind blowing by any means.

I almost spilled my coffee with that one!
I really don't get the 50% implementation...
I could be wrong but you either get it or you don't.
Anyway, I've tried all the custom ROMs out there,
differences in display quality are not huge or noteworthy.
Since the drivers (kernel) are the same, not much can be done with minor tweaks and workarounds.
And specifically about Bravia engine, correct me if I am wrong, but hardware plays a big part also.
The only CD with 50% functional bravia engine is "TripNarc v8"
What do you mean "CD"? From my understanding 50% implementation was included in all TripNArc Roms. I tested out .5, .8, &.9 and there were no differences in video quality just pictures.
But the quality of the roms are different ... v5, v8, v9 .... will more clearly in your images and videos in v8.

Excuse my English, I will try to be clear ... roms
Just installed v8 on one of my X10s. Going to test it out to see if there is any difference at all between v5 & v9.
Edit: Looks like my v8 is faulty...hmmm...

ok so theres all the new settings in camera for video effects and such, has anyone else tried out the video background setting?
you take a video, then another video with the first as a moving background,,,you can then record yourself again overlaying the original video.,
im luving it,. but it is VERY choppy and full of screen artifacts is anyone else having better luck then mine?
Yup! It's really awesome. Best result in nice bright condition, keep the tablet as steady as possible. Watch out for any moving thing in your real background, a slight change will ruin everything. And not only your camera videos can be used as a background, any video that can be played by the default video player works too!

CORR! was beginning to give up that anyone else had checked the ics camera lol these new features were not boasted about as much as they should have lol
I know right? these features are too awesome to be ignored. U know there's an ics rom called tabooney, it had a bug called 'sleep of death'. So they uploaded a patch for it, but after installing it, the camera effect features doesn't work at all. But everybody keep saying, yes now its perfect, thanks now its 100% stable, no bugs at all. Can u believe it? They don't even know these features exists!

lol flexreaper all the way
I'm on flexreaper 14 and the background doesnt really work. as soon as you move into view the background breaks up and disappears, with both cameras.
Yeah same here on the 12.5 special edition' I think that's about as good as it gets so far it is still very new to android
Also like above user said it works best in bright conditions and I find it works better the further away you are so you are taking up less screen.
Check the. Pic above and see if u can get a better result

This thread is in relation to the bravia engine and whether it will be possible in future to keep it ON at all times. Even at homescreens? As we know the screen really looks vibrant with it and many owners would want it to be ON at all times.
I know it wont work on other roms but can it work at least on custom roms based on original XZ rom?
Lets discuss this here as it might be important.

Here's the thing: we already know that the final release firmware will have screen calibration. Surely one of the settings will be tantamount to continuous BE, at least on the saturation side of things? I think we're already getting it, without the need to hack,... though feel free to hack anyway
AFAIK it's not possible
It won't be possible unless someone gets very close to the source code of it. For photos it's a simple processing algorithm baked into the Album app, for videos it's an extra processing that gets done while decoding. You can't simply apply that to the whole screen.

Is this confirmed? And can we get the same effect as a bravia engine ON? Its not just about saturation only though.

Why not? In the end you can see the Bravia Engine just as some tweaks that are being applied.

LOL that caught me
if the XZ has screen calibration then BE2 isnt needed anymore in the home screen/web browser imo
when there's screen calibration included, does setting up and calibrating the screen affect the BE2, too?

Yep. Screen calibration won't be available right away though, it's not even sure it will be available at all. Maybe it'll arrive in an update.

Hey all,
Just wanted to get a quick opinion from everyone here about the Sony Xperia Z screen.
There has obviously been a large discussion on the internet about the different quality Xperia screens and today I managed to identify first hand what an arguably good Z screen locks like in comparison to a bad one ,at least for my tastes. One device has a horrid reflection effect in a dark environment which left me wanting while another unit has better contrast all round with higher saturation.
What is everyone's experience and likes dislikes with the Xperia Z screen? I remember the apple screens when you use to go to the apple store and notice your screen has a yellowish tint in comparison to the same model on display which ticked me right of.
I want to close this display discussion once and for all so we know what the deal is. Are there really bad screens and good screens and what are the differences? I think there are and I stated my opinion above.

I don't know if it's just me, or the phone isn't set up properly but the screen is perfect - however when I am watching videos on youtube or anything, the colours seem so dark? It's not the viewing angle, it's just the colours seem so deep & black. Anyone experience this too?

I just mentioned that you should switch brightness to 50% so you can level the comparison field without your phone actually changing the brightness and changing results. Bravia engine should probably stay off if you don't like it, personal preference really. as for the auto brightness I recommend keeping it on, it is the first ever device that I have left this feature on since it does such a good job with it! will probably save some battery as well most times.
So does this mean the video looked alright?

The bravia engine, tbh I can't see any difference with photos, only with videos things seem so dark that you can't watch anything properly. So I guess I'll only turn it off when I am watching videos. They should have an option to let you have it on for photos & off for videos
But yes switching bravia off worked the videos perfectly thank you

There are some people that willing fail to understand that the Japanese version has a different skin since it's customized by do como. It uses black menus and black buttons. So based on that they say that the Japanese model has a better screen because it displays black

It's because of the viewing angles, if you look at the beginning the European version actually looks more vibrant. The thing is that a slight tilt already makes a small difference the phones are recorded from different angles relative to the camera. Since you don't see any difference when viewing the screen head on and the difference in view angles are really minor I think it is just the positioning of the phones relative to the camera. Also because in the first part the European looks slightly better. If you look at the screen bottom up it tens to be slightly more blue with gives it slightly more vibrancy if you look top down it gives a bit more yellow causing white to be slightly yellow and thus has a tiny effect on contrast
I am currently using S3 and I love the display due to the amoled display. I am however tired of using Galaxy series as I have at least 5 phones which are galaxy.
I used to own Xperia S and flashing custom roms was a pain as I had to go through the whole bootloader unlocking process. Is it the same with Z?
Also I am a little concerned about the viewing angles and bad screen quality overall, is it all true?
This is the only phone that may be considered an upgrade over S3 due to the LTE and a full HD display. Else I can grab S4 but I want to personally avoid it...
Any comments/tips/suggestions are obviously welcome and appreciated.
If viewing angle are something of your concern then the XZ might not be something for you. Beside the viewing angles the screen is just great in my opinion (note: "opinion")
If the XZ you buy doesn't have an unlock able BL then you'll be out of luck.
You can still flash most custom roms, but you won't be able to get another kernel.
Sent from outer space...
I buyed the XZ because it has great design and great specs. And the water & dust resistence is always a handy feature to have.
There are a lot of good custom roms and kernels, and most of them you can flash with a locked bootloader.
About the screen, i think the screen is great. And i don't mind about the viewing angles, it's good for the privacy. :good:
But of course, that's my opinion. You have to make your own decisions
Sold my GS3 last year and got the Xz.
Never looked back however I'm looking to get something new soon as my contract was up in May. Nothing has really caught my attention yet so still happy rocking the Sony. It's a great phone that does not even need rooting.
Go for it.

Don't be put off by unlocking the bootloader. Do a bit of research, in particular, TA backup, flashtool and towelroot. Once unlocked, the XZ is a flashers dream

Viewing angles doesn't matter.
Its just wonderfull how powerfull the XZ is, viewing angles give you some private usage and not everyone need to know what you do on your phone, its personal ^^

After the recent KitKat updates, the Xperia Z's screen has been really great, viewing angles are ALOT better than before, from what I've noticed and aside from that, you won't really get bothered about it unless viewing from extreme angles. Anywhere near head on to slightly tilted will be fine.
So unlocking the BL depends on luck? I never knew that because I never tried it on XS.

Trilluminous is just a fancy way of saying it's LED Backlit with better viewing angles, I actually have a Flickr Album dedicated to the color-tinge on some devices where there's a yellowish hue (this between my White balance adjusted Z vs a Z1 without adjustment) and have angled photos as well, they are pre-kitkat, which I feel re-calibrated/adjusted the Z's screen settings to give better viewing angles but still not the best. As for your choice between Z1, Z2, or Z Ultra. Honestly Whichever of the 3 works fine. The Z1 is still very capable as well as the Z Ultra and their displays are quite good.
You can refer to the Album if you think the display is something to worry about. Both devices are on full 100% brightness.
