Recently I updated My xperia mini into ICS.
After Installing it the phone works faster than before.
But now I noticed that the camera is too cloudy with less details than the gingerbread camera.
And also the speaker sound is also too low than the GB sound.
Plz let me know how I can solve these problem staying in ICS.
I have the same question
in my st15 ics the sound is too low i try to put Volume+ but it still dont work
We need a solution :fingers-crossed:
I also have the same problem although i am on .42 GB....Use ICS camera from play store...

Rooting................
Does all of you tried rooting your phones.......................... :silly::silly:if yes then search the forum you'll get lots of mods to suite your needs but first search.................................................:laugh::laugh:
camera and sound
Camera issued can be solved by using camera mods. there's a lot here in the forum. some is integrated in the ROM like what i'm using now, WALKMAN Style Rom.
one thing that i can't solve is when using panorama or 3d camera, it becomes dark.
about the sound, theres a walkman mod, it gives sound enhancement but not to make it "LOUD" just a better experience in listening in music.
Xperia mini speaker is really low. can't play music in speaker mode, its hard to hear. hehehe..
I had these files extracted from Xperia RAY latest ICS firmware with Unlocked BL. it worked on Xperia Neo, Ray, and Arc even I already unlocked the BL, but anyone who tried to use the Album app on any 2011 devices with unlocked BL, MBE is not working.
i managed to install this apps on my Acro S, it loads the Xperia Gallery but closes once it loads a pic.
Anyone in here who has the knowledge to make this files work on Xperia S and Acro, might help us experience BE on pics again.
Please cooperate.
Files...
here are the files..
I tried this earlier (with many more files); the gallery crashes (it's for GB ROMS). I also tried to use GB libraries from Xperia S past firmwares but even they don't work on ICS.
By the way, I was able to come to the point where the thumbnail loads before the full image in the GB gallery. In that momentary fraction, it appeared ordinary - i.e. the Bravia Engine probably wouldn't work even if the gallery app can be tweaked
The problem is perhaps in the libSwiqi.so (or similarly named file). That is present in ICS but was absent from GB. Replacing some of the other files associated with Bravia engine didn't break the video functionality in my tests, however alterations of this file made the engine stop working altogether (in videos as well ).
This issue is somewhat complex and the exact CAUSE and associated files are hard to determine
Screw Sony for not fixing this yet! It has been several months now...
-------
P.S. Can anyone with Xperia Arc / 2011 Xperia with working Bravia engine on unlocked bootloader upload that libSwiqi file?
ics files
this files are from xperia ray running ICS. not gingerbread mate.
got them from my xperia ray with unlocked bootloader yet be is working perfectly fine.
i could attach that file you want.. just a sec..
let us help each other in making this work.
others out there dont even care.
mate, i cant see any lib file that goes with the name libSwiqi
i saw someone who is claiming about successfully porting BE to other devices. can you help me analyze which file was used?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923630
lib file
got this one from acid sound mod files claiming to have BE ported properly.
saying that this file is from 2011 line up.
install the ones i have provided above, together with this mate. then tell me..
I wished I could use this gallery version instead of the Xperia s one.

Thanks for uploading the files mate. I'll test and report back.
So Xperia Ray still has this old gallery on ICS. We used to have a similar one (and with some different libraries) in GB. i.e. libSwiqiController wasn't present in the GB version of Xperia S as well. In ICS update, Sony added new libraries to control Bravia Engine and that must have messed up..
I'm convinced that the messed up files are the libraries and not the app itself. Would you also check something else: On your Xperia Ray, install QuickPic, turn HW rendering on from settings and check if Bravia Engine appears to work in that mode. (To get an idea about how closely the functioning of BE is related to the gallery app. I noticed that HW mode in 3rd party video players enables Bravia Engine ; maybe it's the same for photos as well)
quickpic
BE doesnt work on quickpic even with hardware acceleration.
and its a misconception with MX video mate. galaxy SII doesnt have MBE but it works the same way with GSII using MX video HW acceleration. i decided to put it under SW when i still have the GSII because it makes the colors less saturated.
MBE only works with sony apps.

Maybe u don't know that GS3 have a type of display rendering engine! There's are option like: dynamic, standard, or vivid, i forgot! That's y it's work the same way with GS3 or 2 or note! But i think that it's rendering engine isn't any better than Bravia engine!

Hmm.. so QuickPic doesn't work... :\
But as far as MX is concerned, it DEFINITELY uses Bravia on HW. (You can see that the colour saturation and contrast disappears when you turn Bravia off)
MX VIDEO
sorry mate but that is not the case from what i see.
mx video using hw+ also makes the sound louder and better. i think it does the same thing with hw for videos. it enhances something in the process but that is not BE.
then how can you explain it with my GALAXY SII? as you well know, the over rated super over saturated far from reality SUPERAMOLED PLUS will stress your eyes and will lead to head acheif you wont stop looking at it. much worst if you will watch a full length movie.
if you will turn off HW and put it under SW, it gives a more natural color look (taking off about 25%) of color saturation and contrast.
but if you turn it on, it will show something like the ones we experience on our 2012 xperia devices. bumping up colors and showing a less noisy output.
sony has made something magical yet a buggy software. no one managed to port MBE properly with other sony devices like xperia neo L, live with walkman and the good old xperia x10.
anyways, let us keep on searching till we get something to make it work.
any news about the xperia gallery from 2011 line up? i have sent an email to several talented devs, but no one seems to care. sorry if i am not a dev but i think you have a better understanding with programs, right?

oh and yes, GSII have those options as well. but you can only select those options under the display settings. and it also have 3 color tones available under the default video player.
but none of these color settings offers the same level of saturation and color accuracy compared to that of SW mode of MXVIDEO.

Hrm, if i compared the SW mode in Gs2 or 3 with xperia s, u'll see same effect! Now try to turn on Hardware acceleration and compare, they both enchance color due to the use of their hardware rendering engines while GS3 got those options, ours got bravia engine, but difcerent effect! If u try to turn off BE in Xperia S and switch between SW and HW there's NO difference! U can try!

okay, its my mistake. it works with mx
it works with mx, but yeah, superamoled even plus sucks no matter what color calibration or settings you would do. i do not know how others like the greenish and bluish tones of superamoled. now, can you help making xperia gallery work on our devices? it might work that way, but that one works with xperia ray with unlocked bootloader.

I don't know! I can't make it work for myself neither! Maybe we'll try to pull all BE related file and test with ours! I used to try with GB version! But no use!

Hi Community! I've been following the work of FreeXperia Team making his ROMS, the question is When I go to play a video (In all Resolution) in horizontal, The Video is not resize properly and i see only a little line on top of the screen whit the playing video.
I was Flashed via CWM the movie and album app of Sony (Xperia V Port) and the bug still here!
Someone of us has been fixed that bug or it is the work of the Free Xperia Team?
I have a Xperia Sola

Is there a way /or a version od original Sony Movies app/ to use that doesn't crashes?
hi, i am using sony xperia p,its sim card slot is damaged,so i decided to use my phone as music player,but my xperia p have poor sound quality through head phones and back speaker.i am using mh750 head phone,its good with my xperia s,but when i connected to xperia p feels bit noisy and low bass too.my k800 have extreme bass through head phone after installing clear bass.elf and custom acoustic driver,there is any way to increase the bass and loudness of my sony xperia p.now its running on jelly bean.thanks in advance..
Well for this I would recommend you to use a custom sound mod like ACiD etc...
Try searching in Apps & Themes threads you will get it!
Did you try to disable XLoud?
XLoud increases the dB of the speaker, but it sounds weird.
You could also try the Viper for Android (ViPER4Android) sound mod...
You can find it in Dark Rom v2.5 preinstalled!
Hey guys I see z2 has so many settings and options for sound like x loud, clear audio, equalizers etc.. Which is the best option for great sound from internal speakers which would give the best great loudest music?*
Sent from my D6503 using xda app-developers app
I believe X-Loud and S-Force will do. Each to his own taste, I prefer X-Loud but well there hasn't really been S-Force on any other Sony phones before. :laugh:
