[MOD] Bravia Engine 2 and other tweaks (Z/ZL) - Xperia Z General

I know people have lost their BE 2 after unlocking the bootloader.... So, I want you all to know about an app called Pimp My Rom ( by Androguide.fr) which has a lot of MOD's in it including the Bravia Engine 2 and I believe (not tried it yet) it can help in getting the BE 2 back. Just wanted to share this discovery!!!

Be sure to comment if this worked out!!!

Even DON'T try this! Its not for us. Its for XPERIA 2011-2012. In 99% of cases you'll kil the phone!

What about android tweaker? It enables be2 too.

Could you give a basis as to why it will kill the phone?? Like I said I don't know if it works as I haven't unlocked my phone yet... But if you can get me a good basis then I would delete the thread!!
ALSO, many users of Xperia S, SL and U reported it working... Read the thread if you dont blv me

Dont talk bs if u dont know sh*t.
It is impossible to brick your phone with applications.
Pimp my rom is an open apk for all phones.
It enables it on cm9 10 etc.
If it will work on our phone? Thats the question.
I think it need tweaks because our phone is just released.

As i see the App puts some Tweaks to the build.prop , chose the wrong Tweak and you're end up in a boot loop. Other then that you won't break the phone.

Why is this in developement thread?

Doesn't work by the way.
Tried both PMR and Android Tweaker on KA03 XZ Revolution.

Why WAS this in development?
In any case, @OP.... the reason for the BE to stop working, unless I am sorely mistaken, is because your DRM keys get completely wiped out when the BL is unlocked. As such, simple build.prop tweaks (which is all that PMR does) likely will not re-enable it.

It is not the Bravia 2 engine, it is an application that is simulating the effects of Bravia 2 engine, therefore most likely only increasing sharpness and saturation.
Echo what is previously stated here, an application will not brick your phone

BE2 isnt all crack up to be IMO in dark movies it completely hide all detail and some video it completely over sharpen the picture and make it some what noisy

Can confirm this ... As a novice...Rooted Handset - Messed around with pimpmyrom - and ended up with a endless boot loop had to re-flash with flash tool.

Man this would be great if BE2 worked some way..i just dont wanna unlock my bootloader without BE2..I take screenshot of Wallapapers with BE2 and then set it as wallpaper..It looks so much livelier and colors pop on my XZ

But i want colorful wallpapers where BE2 helps XZ..Home screen doesnt have it..At least you can turn it off in videos if u want more details. But for homescreen wallpapers it is a must for XZ.

My experience with AOSP 2.1 v004

You can see a massive speed up with AOSP
Games are smoother
Loading times are faster
Finally i feel like my x10 is working for me instead of against me.
The disabled video decoder does make the cpu use alot more battery watching video.
Once the Dual touch driver comes to light we will be in heaven.
Now if i could only find a deep black theme.
Notice anything not working? I'm trying to decide if I want to learn everything I need to do to install this.
Shouldn't this be in the dev forum?

Dude, calm down. It's more or less of a proof of concept. The devs made this very clear. Absolutely no one has any right to make a complaint whatsoever.
The devs don't owe anything to anyone.

New MiUI avaible for X10

Hi, it's been a couple of days and no discussion about this has been started yet, so just a heads up for those who don't check other forums
Disclaimer: this is NOT my rom, or done by me in any way. I'm simply spreading the word around these parts for those who dont check other forums, and I take NO credit whatsoever. All credit goes to original creators of the rom, erenz1202 and original poster mickymauz, and whoever else is involved in making it.
(From erenz1202 Posted Today, 06:30 AM)
i've been successfully porting miui 1.9.2 from nexus 1
thx to trip for bring this rom to our beloved phone and wb for fantastic rom that i used as based system
i create this for personal use, but i guess right now trip is stop for developing this rom, so i want to share to everyone
package:
-timescape thx to myth999
-extended setting thx to andy thompson
-volume combo thx to andy thompson
bug:
-auto brightness not function fix download
-portable hotspot not function

Hope these provide some alternatives for those looking for some new miui roms for x10! Feedback for devs should go in the original threads in those forums, this thread can perhaps be used for general comments on the rom, to keep those who want to try it better informed.
Ive been using this since its release and it is brilliant!
The only down side, every time that the you loose complete signal it will not automatically re-connect the data connection
This is a very annoying bug and i am hopeful that someone can help the guy out getting this sorted
TripNBalls previoisly said he already had the files required for the fix and it wascoming in the next release. maybe ask Trip?

I can say this ROM is better than Trip although it has some bugs. TripN**** cause battery draining 1% per second and he will never listen to the complain on his work. He just likes good words.

You will need to wait until someone has compiled a ROM. The Exmor sensor is hardware, but you'll lose the SE camera interface. XLoud, etc, are all SE stuff, you won't get them.
In that case I wont flash it then. I enjoy all those options, and don't want to without

Galaxy Note Modded To The Max!!!

Hey guys! I think i've customized to the limit here. This is just a quick video building on (or in addition to) my last 3D UI video
The main thing I want to put across is my "dynamic clock" idea. Basically, when you unlock your phone to glance at the time, you're greeted with a live wallpaper but on a fully transparent locksceen that changes with the time of day IN REAL TIME but yea, you'll see what I mean in the video
The rest of the vid is just for FUN.
Enjoy folks

It's totally OK. It's your hard earned money and you have the total control over it's usage. I shared my work in both free and paid forms so that users can test and then only buy if they want to.
I too don't buy apps that often but if a paid app is useful then I wouldn't think twice.
I myself like the stock Sony look but that doesn't means that we shouldn't try new things.
For the note, I have root but not patched services.jar or superusermod but theme works.
Yet it has been previously reported that some themes fail to work that's why I wrote that.

An app/theme can never be complete. There will be something or the other to add/update.

Honestly your price tag is way steap. No offense and you are allowed to charge whatever you want but may I suggest coming down on the price a bit. Notice anyone else selling xperia themes here on xda? Not saying you shouldn't be selling it but I'm pretty sure it's the reason you're getting so much negativity.
Good luck with the theme. It looks promising.

Thank you for your suggestions.
You see the negativity is not due to the price but differences in thinking.
I provided a free version with adequate theming if not much.
I linked to my guide and xposed module if someone wants to make his/her own theme or try before buying.
I am not forcing anyone to buy my theme.
They want 100% of everything at a little or no cost but as a user everyone needs to understand that that's not possible.
I am trying my best to provide the community with good content.
For that am charging a small amount which gives me boost to work better.
I don't work alone. We are a team. I will discuss with my team members for the price.
Once again thanks for your suggestions.
I truly appreciate your help.

Points taken. I definitely understand what you mean about the 100% of everything at no cost. I do appreciate your work though. I really like your Android L theme that you made, I'm rocking that one now on my ZU.
Anyways I do look forward to see how this theme will progress. I do have one request; and that is to not keep the Free version too far behind the paid version. I have seen so many Devs that provide a Free version to their Themes and don't update them. Maybe it's a time strain, I don't know but it would be nice to keep them maybe 1 version apart and that should spark the interests for trials to become buyers.

Points taken. I definitely understand what you mean about the 100% of everything at no cost. I do appreciate your work though. I really like your Android L theme that you made, I'm rocking that one now on my ZU.
Anyways I do look forward to see how this theme will progress. I do have one request; and that is to not keep the Free version too far behind the paid version. I have seen so many Devs that provide a Free version to their Themes and don't update them. Maybe it's a time strain, I don't know but it would be nice to keep them maybe 1 version apart and that should spark the interests for trials to become buyers.

Ya actually it's a time strain to provide support for 2 versions at the same time and as a Dev I need to keep the paid version updated for showing Thankfulness to all those bought the theme.
But that certainly dose not means that I will never update the free version.
Right now I am trying to add Boot animation changer to Xperia Themes[Only Paid for now] as one can with CM11 themes. Taking backup of original one works. Moving bootanimation.zip from Theme App to sd-card works too. Now I need to figure out how to apply the theme bootanimation.zip. I tried 3 different methods but all failed.

Awesome. When you say it's failing to apply, do you mean moving the animation from the sdcard to the media folder?

Yup that's what I exactly mean.
As Sony didn't added direct support for this in Xperia Themes, I searched for workarounds.
Do you have any idea of moving it to Media folder from sd card?

Seeing that it's failing I have a feeling it has to do with mounting and setting permissions. I am in no way a coder/dev of anything, but is there a way for you to add a command string to have the xperia themer(when applying the theme), send a command to a root browser program to do the copying and setting of permissions for you? Kind of how Tasker works.

It's totally OK. It's your hard earned money and you have the total control over it's usage. I shared my work in both free and paid forms so that users can test and then only buy if they want to.
I too don't buy apps that often but if a paid app is useful then I wouldn't think twice.
I myself like the stock Sony look but that doesn't means that we shouldn't try new things.
For the note, I have root but not patched services.jar or superusermod but theme works.
Yet it has been previously reported that some themes fail to work that's why I wrote that.
Did I said that the theme is completed?
It's just the initial version and you are complaining about absence of assets.
If you had ever tried to make Xperia™ Theme then you will understand why Switches are absent.

That theme making part was not for you.. @beniamin24 Sorry, it was actually for you but I didn't meant to offend you. I didn't took it hard either. Actually I should say thank you. These comments help me make my works even better.
