WARNING: LEAKED ICS MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE Public Service Announcement: ICS Leaks and Recovery - HARDBRICK WARNING
it is suggested to follow the installation procedures and copy the files manaully if you worry about bricking your phone
note: although this is not built from AT&T i717, it can be used on i717 as well as reported by users for the gingerbread version. however, if u encounter any problems, feel free to contact me by leaving a reply here, or adding a comment in my blog at Galaxy Note Sony Bravia Engine ICS mod - http://ykkfive.blogspot.com/2012/05/galaxy-note-sony-bravia-engine-ics-mod.html
for developers and rom makers:
- pls kindly let me know or put my name in your post if you put this mod into your roms so that i know who is using it. this is because experiences in the sgs2 one tell me users will only ask for help in your thread and they even dont know which gallery they r using, since most of the roms just put the words "bravia engine" or "new gallery" and that's all. i cannot, and in fact impossible, to read every post in every thread to help them to solve the problems. what i want is to consolidate the questions and problems so that they can be identified easily, and to help ppl to solve the problems.
more, pls add a link either to this post, or the original howto at http://ykkfive.blogspot.com/2012/01/sgs2-gallery-sony-bravia-engine-demo.html for users reference
thank you
a few notes for users:
- ALWAYS DO A BACKUP FIRST!!
- pls, pls forget anything u've seen before about the bravia engine and forget about the prop files. there is NO NEED to modify any file yourself to make it works
- if u wanna use the bravia engine to render/redraw ur wallpaper, u need to pick the wallpaper again in my modded gallery since the existing wallpaper is cached/stored and the system will not re-generate the wallpaper each time the phone boots up
- all steps in the installation guide for sgs2 should be the same for sgn and so far i couldnt find any difference between them
- the only difference i observed is about the performance. in sgs2, the image will be rendered almost instantly (on my modded sgs2 at least, i dono how it performs in stock rom). but on this sgn (not tuned yet), the image will be rendered piece by piece from the bottom right to the top left and u can see that visually

File removed by me.

yes, leaked ics is supported, but not cm/aosp, etc

I tried to flash it with the zip but it doesn't install the files so I moved them manually with root explorer.
I cant tell for sure if it works. Will have to do more testing but it is a cool idea and will keep following to see how this develops.
Thanks again for the pm of the link.

u welcome, it's just a link and no big deal
but i am interested in the problems u encountered. what do u mean by 'it doesnt install the files'? do u mean it failed to install in the recovery or what? and since u know how to play with root explorer, u can copy the files manually to the target locations as stated in the howto
one more thing, if it installed but FC, it's probably due to the conflicts between this mod and the previous gallery. so remove/rename/move the old gallery data will do if u can to avoid lossing other data, else do a wipe
feel free to tell me if u have any problems

---

I installed all the files fine with root explorer. The zip might not be written for our note.
No problems. No force closes. NO BRICKING! Haha
I just don't really use the stock gallery and it is hard to see a difference for me.
I was hoping this would give a system wide improvement.

sorry for the ads but if 1 per 10000 users kindly donates for my works and help to break my zero balanced account, i don have to put those annoying ads. to be honest i hate putting ads on my site

I wanted to check this out. Unfortunately, the website is so overwhelmingly cluttered with adverts I can't deal with it or navigate it appropriately.
If this is a real product and not a ploy to get advert clicks and traffic to your website, then best of luck to you with the project. It looked interesting. Sorry I can't check it out.
