[Q] SK17I Can I get Bravia engine back after bootloader unlock? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

I took my phone to a shop to get the network unlocked, but when I got it back I noticed that in the hidden menu it said bootloader was unlocked
Ive since rooted my phone, but the stock firmware has never been changed
Today I found out that after bootloader unlock, the Bravia engine is lost. After checking, there is a definite difference in the appearance of photos on my phone
Can anyone please tell me if there is a way to get the Bravia engine working again but keep my phone rooted?
I know how to flash firmware and stuff, I don't mind reflashing and wiping my phone id just like to have my phone rooted (keeping stock firmware) and have the Bravia working
Any help would be much appreciated

if you know how to edit build prop you can search it on themes n app section. as far as i know it's only added a few lines on build.prop to get your bravia engine.

It's half-ported, 50%.
and even that 50 % is only claimed by one person & not confirmed by anyone else
Bravia Engine 61.0087651409% done.
It now allows for using the phone's display as a HD projector.
Practically no its not possible without open boot loader.You can't change or increase pixels without unlocking boot loader else 16 mil colors would have been out long time back

It is literally impossible to increase the pixels without changing the screen whether the bootloader is unlocked or not.

Please Help! No Bravia Engine option after Wolfrom Install
hello,
This is my first post, so please do bear with me... thank you.
I have an X10 on Orange (UK) and the stock 2.3.3 upgrade was rolled out last weekend.
I upgraded my phone to stock 2.3.3, and about two hours later rooted it (Ads were really bugging me) and then yesterday I installed the Wolfrom (Wolf_GB_2.3_TW_V4.zip) very easily using xRecovery. I followed these steps:
1) use the SE Backup & Restore for 2.3.3 (so glad this was available on this forum as I couldn't see it when I first upgraded and all my contacts etc had gone of course).
2) Boot phone in xRecovery and back up rom
3) Full Wipe, Clear cache partitions, Wipe dalvik cache
4) Install Cutom rom (as above) and then reboot phone
this worked great! And I had the rom on my phone, saw for a few seconds it worked then decided to use 2.3.3 backup and restore (had to install again) to get my contacts, messages and system settings back. I didn't check between installing the rom and restoring whether the BRAVIA engine was available, but when I look now, the Mobile Bravia Engine is NOT available in my Display Options, and I don't know if I have the battery tweaks which were mentioned in the thread installed either.
The phone defintely boots up as Wolfbreaks ROM, but I think my Restore may have messed something up, I just don't know what. Can anyone please advise?
To reiterate, i don't have the Mobile BRAVIA engine, or the new funky battery indicater (which is meant to improve battery life?), but do have the EDT tweaks app available. Can anyone help please? I will need to run a restore to keep my contacts/bookmarks at the very least - I can probably live without the text messages and mms messages. I am wondering if it was just me selecting "System Settings" when I restored that could have caused all this. Thank you so much in advance for anyone who can help.
Regards
Very Happy X10 user who now finally has Gingerbread!!!

Search for flashtool pal and use that. That will root, install xrecovery and even unlock it bootloadsr. Among other things. Basically no there isn't a risk really with rooting ur phone. It can be uprooted very easily and it opens ur phone to a world of possibilities. If u need more info feel free to send me a pm I'll help u out (not at pc at min or I would post links for u to everything u need)

Power menu ScreenShot Mod

If this mod available for stock 2.3.3 GB? If so where can I find a link/flashable zip file?
Flashed back stock GB and doing my own mods I like to it instead of an all out custom ROM, already added:
Reboot Option
System UI Mod
Battery percentage
Stutter fix
Bravia Engine
Doom Kernel
Link2SD
Few of my personal tweaks here and there like the Arc media server app, etc.
good question

Hello there!
I'm trying to do the same thing here, flashed the v9 and though it's awesome i got the irritating 921 error at play store.
Folowed about 6 diferent procedures and no luck solving that issue.
Do you know how i can include the screenshot and the bravia engine on the x10 ?
I searched a lot around here, even got the BuildProp Editor, but couldn't find the lines the tutorials suggests.
Thanks!

It does not work at all for x10mini.
Sony Bravia seems to work!!
It appears that the Bravia engine does make a difference to the screen, however, I'm not sure its for the better or not. Everything looks very high contrast, and the colours seem a little darker.
I installed it through clockwork recovery (included with Naa kernel v2) and everything seemed to install fine.
The xLoud seems to have Edify scripting and won't install through CWM so looks like a revert to Xrecovery will be required, however, I don;t think I'm that bothered.
Can anybody else confirm this? And will it affect the already desperately sensetive battery life?
Take care. This seems to be made for ginger dx v14. It also broke my wifi with minicm.

maybe we just need to change the build.prop which included in zip file

Pretty sure that is the issue, after all this replaces the build prop you have with one based on gingerdx...
I think copying the files and adding some lines to build.prop and settings permissions manually should work.
The question is what needs to be added to build.prop ? Just the two lines at the bottom ?
[Edit] or try this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1246402
This doesn't change build.prop, but adds the necessary lines.
[edit2] see this for xloud: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1269778
At the bottom of the first post is a file with instructions for manual installation, this should also work.
after apply xloud: eq, dsp manager does not work

Yes!!! It seems so, I should have done more testing! Also, the bravia menu does not appear, although the effect seems to be working.
I will restore my CWM Backup, analyse the build prop, then add the effective lines to the zip and see if I can get it running on Minicm. Will keep you updated!!
Edit:
Ok, After restoring, it seems that I was just being optimisitc haha
I think I had my 2am glasses on when I tried this out, and in comparison, there is absolutely NO difference in the screen or colours!!! I'm so sorry for over exciting anybody!!!
I will ocntinue to test regardless, but I'm not getting my hope up yet!
Tried installing xloud manually it did not work
It seams that the apk in the zip does not install, even after moving to system and changing permissions to rw-r--r-- and changing build. Prop,
I think its signing issue because if I click and install application manually it says "application not installed" :-(

Hi,
First you're asking about the Sony Bravia Mobile Engine and then you're asking about changing your display to Sony Bravia.
Please try to use the proper terms and know what you need to be asking.
If you want to change your launcher to the Xperia launcher please just read this:

1. From what I remember this never worked hence why most roms here don't include it.
2. You wouldn't get an "Option" to turn it on or off. It supposedly should work straight away
Edit: Even the bottom of the page says so lool
"The Bravia Engine is run in the backgound, so you no need to choose any setting for active the Bravia Engine. After installation complete, then just play video and enjoys!"

Hi,
I got my Z Ultra a acouple of days ago. I unlocked the Bootloader and installed CM11. I found serveral Threads talking about diffrent devices and flashable Zips in the Cross developement section, but I am totally confused tight now. Is there any way to enable Small Apps, the X-Reality or Bravia 2 engine or the Walkman App when using CM? I took a backup of my TA partition.

Bravia 2 works (well as well as it does on xperia firmware), as for the others pass. I think small apps relies on xperia frameworks so wont run on custom ROMs
Tahnks for the reply. How do I integrate the Bravia or X-Reality Engine into an CM installation?
