For a start disable 'x-reality for mobile'
Its utter rubbish! Skin tones are blended and look like they've had plastic surgery, white's turn a cream/off white colour, and reds and blues are not vibrant... where as green is too much.. its just awful!
But as far as 'apps' to change this... not that i know of. Would be a good app if someone could develop it.

Hello, Zdzihu give us Bravia Engine. Right, i see differences on his screenshot, but how i can test this option on my x10i? I want to check this on my own eyes
There is some option like "Use bravia engine on this picture" xd
Or this working on all pictures displayed in background?
P.s. sorry for crapy english xd
Hi, yes
there is an option, to tick, on or off, in the settings, then you might be able to see the difference, bout to flash it now, seems legit though
I have checked this option on Settings->Display->Bravia Engine.. ;/
BUT, if i make 1 photo with this, and 1 without, i don't see difference, 2 pics are identical.. not like on Zdzihu pics where i see 2 difference pictures.
I see no difference
Argh.. i try 4 times with taking pictures.. again no differences...
We are RickRoll'D .. ??

It doesn't effect the quality of pictures taken but the quality of the display...
Lmfao at the thought of people turning it on, taking a picture, turning it off, taking a picture
Only way you can do it is to screen capture a photo with BE on then screencap with it off.
maybe effects of bravia would be noticeable in phones with 16m colors like the new xperia lineup
Bravia "Engine" only affects pictures seen in the Gallery, nothing else, you're thinking about the Exmor Sensor

I must compare my phone with other witout bravia. Fine. Xd
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
The Bravia engine is simply put a color filter/sharpening filter.
And yes it affects both video and gallery images.
If you flashed the zip file yesterday when it was "only" 50% in Z's thread you won't see any difference because all it did back then was to enable the option in the menu (without actually doing anything else than just enabling the option).
However with the updated release he has enabled the engine for our phone.
I made a simple comparison here:
Without: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/12/screenshotnon.png/
With: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/10/screenshot1with.png/
I personally can see quite the difference on this photo (for the better).
Ok, i see.. I check this immediately

I bought Sony Ericsson Live with walkman 2 weeks ago and the first thing i notice is that there is something wrong with the display contrast, when the background is black or dark the contrast will automaticly change make the white very shiny and annoying even i cant read the word "Google" inside the search widget, screenshot for that attached
is there any fix for that ? maybe kernel ??
link in Sony Ericsson talk forum about that issue "in the attachments"
It doesn't sport the same Bravia Engine the other 2011 xperia's have so contrast isn't exactly "spot on" i guess that's why they installed the Bravia engine on the other xperias in the first place

As far as i know the "Bravia engine" only affect the images and the videos not general performance, am i wrong ?
and by the way my old Xperia X8 have better contrast than this one, and no "Bravia engine" there at all !!!
Well the Xperia mini has the same no. of colors ( both have 16M ) and both have the same res ( both have 320 x 480 ) the only difference is the ppi (Mini: 192 ppi, Live: 180 ppi ) and that the Mini has the Bravia Engine. Note, The Bravia Engine was intended to affect picture, video, and ui

The dev tested it on his live with walkman and that tweak installer has CWM and Bravia engine included.

Yh it does, its in the options when you play music under settings
I think that Bravia engine is not involved with that because simply the contrast issue only appear if the background is black otherwise the contrast is OK ( check the screenshot i attach, they are both from my live but one when the background is black and the other when it is blue )
Any idea !!!
Here's my screenshot on black theme, contrast not so bad (brightness @ 100%)

I mean what you see in the screen in real, not in the screenshot ( actually i Photoshop my screenshot to simulate the real view because i don't have HD camera so i can capture my mobile screen, the screenshot will not show you your mobile screen problem because simply you are viewing them on the computer screen )
so it only show that this issue is locally visible in your phone might well bring it to sonyericsson service center in your area. I never heard of this issue among the SE Live owners in the philippines.

Quot from SE reply to me in SE Talk Forum
"Haven't heard about this before, but as I started to play around with the Live with Walkman I can actually see that the contrast changes depending on which background/theme you are using and also that the red icons on blue background leaves a shadow. I have escalated this and will get back to you when I get more information. Thanks for reporting."

Dude, I'm having the same exact problem with my Xperia Mini Pro. I thought it's the Bravia Engine so I tried turning it off, but same thing. I noticed this problem when I look at the "Google" word inside the Search box widget. When I'm using the black theme, the contrast is bad and it's like the "Google" word is too bright to read.
It's really annoying. I thought I'm the only one experiencing this. It's like the screen is too washed out.
Quot from PhoneArena review just released today
"Its color reproduction leans a bit towards the warm side, while its contrast levels and viewing angles are average at best. Another problem that we notice is that its pixel response time is rather high, meaning that moving objects leave a faint blurry trail behind them"
and i mentioned this issue earlier in the SE talk forum,
anyone else facing issues in the screen ???

Updates:
I can't stop touching my phone!
BIG UPDATE Liquid Version 3 22.09.2012:
So much new stuff: New Objects, New Features, New artworks, New Settings, many Fixes and Changes, improved stability.
New Objects:
-The amazing Color Fluid Surface(including; Liquid Colors, Anti-Color, Particles, a swimming Object, Connections to other Objects, own new sub-section in Settings)
-Full Screen Image(just shifting a little with homescreen)
-New Liquid Beta-Particles (linked to the Fluid Surface to make, 2 fluid physic engines connected driving each other!)
-The amazing Color Fluid Surface:
Get a realy liquid screen.
Make fine colorfull swhirls with each finger or mix the whole fluid witch all touch points.
Continuously auto-selecting the "next most-amazing color" for each touch point.
See the colors mixing transparent on any background.
Finger 4 bill dropp Anti-Color, the mathematical opposite of Color. Anti-Color and Color will be colorfull neutralized against each other. Naturally Anti-Color is invisible but I found a way to show it. It´s enabled on default and will change to it´s naturally invisibility if switching to "Inverse Fluid Colors".
The Engine has it´s "own" swimming Particles and a swimming customizable Object.
Some Objects are connected to the fluid and will swimm in fluid and/or add forces to it.
The Fluid Particles are very fine and have some options, you can select an independent build-in texture to keep them look Particle-like while using any Picture on other Objects.
Fluid Surface code is great but calculated on cpu and needs power at higher fluid resolution. This needs some optimizations, I will try to move some expensive calculations to faster scripts or buffer-array-operations to make it run faster at higher resolutions. Rendering fluid is already fast.
-Static Background Picture. It´s just shifting a little with homescreen. If you select a not-transparent Picture, background will hide the 3D-Android and the 3D-Background Particles, so don't forget to disable hidden Objects to safe power.
-New Liquid Beta-Particles.
Interesting dynamic physics. Connected to Fluid Surface, if active together, engines will move each other, result will move very dynamic or chaotic.
Beta because unoptimized, slow, cpu draining, laggy touch and unstable physics could force close somtimes because moving out of bounds. But It can blast the Fluid
-New Image Artworks all supporting Transparency:
If you want to use old removed Images, you can extract the Images from old apk file.
-New Settings. Added icons to most options. Select Picture direct from Image-Buttons.
As simple and friendly as possible.
Linked gravity-sensor-delay to framerate slider to make it fast or power-safing together.
Added info and contact button linked to this thread(nothing else online yet).
Wallpaper runs fine without sdcard now. Just Cropping Image is not possible without sdcard reasonable.
- Build on Android 4.1.-, minimum required Android 2.2.
Runs Best on 4.1 with "additional features" and best stability. Settings Icons will not be visible on older Androids than 2.3.3 if I am right.
Runs on every phone and virtual device I tested. Also it runs on my TegravII Tablet on Android x86 4.0 R2 but only the 3D-Android is shown and changing Picture works but everything else not. So I will try to get it running complete on not fully compatible Android x86 later.
-Bugs: Nothing is realy broken for me. For left bugs seems just trying again makes it fine.
Loading or Cropping Pictures could still fail on bigger images or incompatible formats. I will rework the image handling a little softer to make this stable. Unfortunately Wallpaper can force close on first start in some cases.
This was next step to get everything ready for more interesting stuff.
Please send some feedback after testing.

Update II : 20.07.2012
I like it now. XDA-Texture is attached right way. I added perlinNoise like wavy movement to get it a little more interesting and flaglike.
No more forceClose in settings menu but still no effect on now selectable options. Next step= Lsd-colors(see LsdCam effect1) and settings. Will see to get the waves more harmonic and with some settings and more(maybe custom) images and it should be fine for first effect.
Have to come more and better.
Update 4 (26.07.12) : LSD-Wallpaper V4 XDA-Version V3! Resize and own Pictures.
Wallpaper should work on any display resolution.
-Options are working. -
-3 build in images or load own picture. Picture will be resized on load. Transparent png working.
-You can toggle waves on or off now..
Wallpaper is funny with own pictures of peoples and faces.
Issues:
If you want to use options to load own foto.png or own foto.jpg there must be the files foto.png or foto.jpg direct on sdcard, else it will forceClose. Will add a album selection with cropping there.
If you toggle waves on or off it will load xda image, so you have to select the picture you want again after toggling waves.
LsdWallpaper is drawing delayed @ 30fps while not consuming much power. Also it should release resources on hide so it should only consume power if you (could)see it. I can confirm the mesh dont moves if phone is locked. Also fps, texture- and mesh-resolution will be adjustable in settings.
This runs on other roms and display resolutions on emu, should run on most Android Phones now. should we give it to all Android phone section? I will not give them 3D if it is finished

You are right, I will try, I will have it also. But this will take some time.
Update: XDA-Version V1! There was not much time but here is the Result so far. Will add more effects and more options (current option is without effect). (Multi)-Touch to see XDA-logo. Note:Image is not attached the way it should and will be but this is also just a nice and free multitouch XDA-Life-Wallpaper. Works nice with the attached analog clock from the Android IDE.
It´s Live-Wallpaper-Whish-Week,
So please post any whish how your favorit dream live wallpaper should be and I will do my best to release it here (if I like the idea).
While porting my LSD-Cam to latest Android-Apis for supporting ICS-Roms I started creating life Wallpaper.
This I am currently locking into Android drawings and will attatch Textures first to my physics and implement many Effects for easy creating intresting and custom Live Wallpapers also for XDA community. This will keep some days, Eclipse-Android is not so diffrent to my mother language processing and everything runs like suspected, it is "just" porting to diffrent drawings and handlings.
so you may post whishes for wallpapers.
Also I will be able to create widgets, lockscreens or any professional android content.
Also I will look int 3D to bring up stereoscpopic content(I am also 3D-Master )
Works very well, looking forward to see more options

Hi guys,
I am looking for a camera app with live filter function. I dont like it to edit the picture after I shot it.
Where are some good apps out there in the middle of millions. But either they are full of sticker bull*hit and totally overload with not needed stuff or they are clean and simple but they are shrinking image quality only to some megapixels. I liked Camera360, Candy Camera and Retrica a lot but image quality is kinda bad.
Do you guys have some good suggestions? Simple and clean app with good live filters and high image quality.
Thanks!
I'm trying to take pictures of a Fender guitar color, Seafoam Green. the camera is fooled and reads it as a blue tint verses a green.
At first I thought it was the overhead lights but I turned them off and with the flash it was the same.
Any ideas?
You can always shoot raw and try some free editing software like Lightroom mobile.
Turn off AWB (automatic white balance).
