Hey Xda I work with cell phones and we recently got in the Xperia ZL. Its awesome for watching videos with because of the Bravia engine.
If I turn on my Nexus and lay it next to it my Nexus blows it away on the home screen, app drawer etc. (I have the Paranoid Android screen tweaks). As soon as I go into Youtube or a photo album though the Xperia suddenly destroys my Nexus.
I have concluded I would like to have the Bravia Engine 2 on my phone if possible. I understand that there is a topic on this board with 2 flashable zips but I don't know what to do with them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I've noticed a few ROMs that have the Sony bravia engine in them. I'm just curious as to what it does and what are the benefits?

It is essentially a post-processing engine which is supposed to improve the quality and color of pictures and movies. It does not affect the files themselves, only how it is displayed on the screen.
Do you have any personal experience with it? Is it worth bothering with? If so would have to know a link to a flash able zip?

I've only ever flashed, maybe, one or two roms that included the engine. One on GB and the other, an Xperia port. There is indeed a subtle difference in the coloration from my past experience and in some cases, you can spot some gains in minute details. It's been some time though, since I've seen a flash-able zip in the development section.
Can anyone make mod of Sony Bravia engine 2 for nexus 4......

Install Pimp my Rom from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androguide.pimp.my.rom&hl=en
This app lets you install Bravia 2 engine and other Sony stuff like Sony Walkman suite : Music Player & Visualizer, Clearbass soundfx and Image Gallery & Editor.
Calibrate the screen with faux or Franco much better results in my opinion

I've used it....seemed to work to me Also, this is sort of like an xposed mod...you can uninstall the app after it's enabled if you don't want to take up the extra space

I seem to remember seeing an option in settings, maybe, about creating a backup zip that would revert any changes you made to their stock defaults. Look in the pimp my rom app.....I'm sure it's there. they all seem to have a fail-safe of sorts these days
I recently upgraded from Xperia S to Xperia Z. Frankly I like everything about Xperia Z except the white theme of Phone & Messaging applications. I miss the black theme found in Xperia S. In fact this is the only thing I HATE about Xperia Z. Don't understand why Sony changed it? At least they should give an option to change the theme if the user want.
Apart from it I found Xperia Z to be better on every aspect except Wi-Fi signal which is better in Xperia S. Xperia Z drops Wifi signals frequently at places where Xperia S has no problem.
Please post your views whether you like Black or White theme for Phone and Messaging applications.
What firmware do you have? I'm experiencing Wi-fi signal drops when I'm far from the router, had no problem with an Galaxy S2
The idea is:
Productive apps -> White
Fun apps -> Black

I own an S and to be honest I prefer the look of the white apps on the Z, at least from what I've seen in screenshots. Not sure how they look in person though - white apps on a screen that isn't full brightness don't look as good in my opinion.

I'm using the ported ones on my S and they look awesome even on full brightness. But who uses it most of time anyway?

i might have different tastes with everyone else but i actually like white theme.in fact a themed most of my apps to white
Hi I'm not sure if this is correct forum but is there anyway to get transparent dialler and contacts on the z, without root. I love the phone but preferred the look of x10i I think it was. Apologies if I'm in wrong place. Thanks in advance

White for me as well. Looks clean and modern. With Sony's holo-blue additions, it looks just great.

No way.unless you use third party dialers.theming needs root
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium
It's a matter of taste, but actually I like the black one too. The only solution without rooting is to search for a 3rd party app.

I just received the S4 today and, honestly, I already can't stand Touchwiz after only two hours. I made it two months with Sense on my HTC One without switching to a Google Edition rom, so that says something.
Anyway, over at the HTC board the developers are in the progress of porting Sense apps to the Google Edition rom which is really awesome. I was wondering if the same was happening over here. There aren't many Samsung apps I do want, but there are a few that would be nice to have.
Oh, also is there a mod to make the whites better on this thing? Even in movie mode things like my Beautiful Widgets widget look murky. Otherwise, the screen is pretty great. I prefer keeping it in Standard mode because it's a decent balance between oversaturation and true colors. Thanks!

I got all media apps from the Sony Xperia Z working for Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 and 8.0.
If someone could test it on the Galaxy Tab 3 10.0 and tell me if it's working too, it would be great

Just flash the .zip files in Recovery and wipe cache and dalvik after flashing the .zips!
Bugs:

thx for this great apps...... can you port the PAC Rom to Galaxy Tab 3 - 8''
Actually working on a stock 4.3 after that paranoid and than pac rom

i just love PAC ....for me the samsung rom is just trash .....thx for the hard work ...:fingers-crossed:
Walkman in landscape looks wrong
Haven't seen that yet. That happens because of the different LCD density and resolution to the Xperia Z. Easiest way to fix it yet is using xposed framework and the xposed per app density settings app. Use a density lower than 180 for the Walkman app to fix the huge buttons
I'll try to fix it in the app itself when I got time for it.

Robby,
this is not bad actually...it works, but like you said, changing DPI thru xposed app settings...there are many ports for these Xperia media apps, walkman, launcher...etc...i have not found a real true port that works on 8 inch tablet without tweaking...another thing, Xperia stuff always confuses me which one is latest version which ones for what....(do a search in XDA, you will see what I meant)...say if I want to get latest Walkman (with all required files), which one is the latest!?....you know what I mean...
about Xperia launcher, I guess Sony's latest Xperia Z Tablet's launcher seems like more suitable for 8 inch tablet...but have not seen anyone ported or make it work...
nevertheless, good work and appreciated for this:good:
Nice..
