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.
Gesendet von meinem LT26i
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.

So I have X-Reality activated but I don't see any changes
Is there any way to identify it?
Turn it off, then look at a picture in the album.
Turn it back on and look at the same picture. There should be a difference.
However x-reality WILL NOT work if your bootloader is unlocked.

My bootlloader is locked actually
I did try the method you said
I could see the changes
For instance
It takes 2-4 seconds then the picture becomes darker and more crispier
But I have put the same photo as my phone wallpaper and it looks different and not vibrant colours looks dull

No. Its only for pictures / videos. Not for all times. Only Album will support x reality and Supervivid. And for video Sony video player and MX Player will support X Reality and Supervivid. We can't get X Reality all over in phone or display.

Yes but i don't think we will get that from Sony..
I had a Z1C and have a Z3 now, and unlocked the bootloaders without backing up the DRM keys. Since I've never actually used the camera in its intended state (with DRM keys intact), I have no idea if third-party apps take advantage of Sony's algorithms. Before I unlock the bootloader and lose the DRM keys forever, do I have to use Sony's camera app in order to take advantage of the DRM algorithms? Would Google Camera take pictures with the same quality as Sony's app if I keep the DRM keys intact?

I was wondering about that myself. If you can only take advantage of the camera with the official camera app and a locked bootloader, I might as well unlock the bootloader, root the phone, and forget about the DRM keys.

I'm comparing pictures between the official camera and Google's and Google's pictures are horribly blurry. I take the same picture, zoom in all the way into one thing, and compare the detail. The difference is ridiculous.
First of all, I am not responsible for any damage that may have been caused physically to your phone, although I will try to help as best as I can.but I think the original dev can help you better than I can
Secondly, I've ask the permission at @mkdmc for posting this, thanks a lot to him !
Thirdly I AM NOT A DEV, ALL FEATURES YOU CAN SEE BELOW HAVE BEEN DEVELOPPED BY @mkdmc, @zezadas, @X-Tsubasa, @dontbelive, @BlackSoulxxx, @Chocolatetrain and @Hermantje. THANKS THEM. The only thing I've done it's tinkering a little to make this wonderfull mod on the concept rom

HOW TO INSTALL
It's the same way that the original mod, but...
1. You have to have SuperUserMode/Disabled APK Signature Comparison! I'll make soon a flashable zip for last concept rom, but now, you can use the warez we shoudn't use or xposed and serajr's module
2. CLEAR DATA "Camera","Camera Common" and if you have 4k, CLEAR DATA"Video"
3. Make sure you have enought space on your system
4. Go here and "Thanks" mkdmc
5. Download the zip,put it to your storage, reboot to recovery and flash it.
ENJOY YOUR NEW CAMERA!!!
BUGS
1. Don't use SteadyShot Intelligent Activ on 4K Video (Crash)
2. In Auto, next to the camera button, you'll have a useless record button (it does nothing, but it's just here)
3. You can't change scene in manual (sorry for that, I'll look in it :/)

OK, so I tested it on Z3 Compact with the firmware Concept 3636. I did exactly as you stated in the first post and Camera seems to work fine. For now we have a useless Record button and I can't reach the Sony Album app from inside Camera app (can't preview what I captured). Other than that it's working!
EDIT: I wonder if it will keep working if I delete the "Disable APK Signature Comparison". It is kinda dangerous to use it AFAIK. Any ideas?

It work pretty, but you need to flash it even before flashing SuperSu
In order, wipe data; cache, dalvik, flash DRM and SuperSu, and other zip
(so you need to reinstall your rom if you didn't flash it before, sorry :/)

Okay, so I've got all the prerequisites, I flashed the zip, and here are some things..
- No scenes button (already mentioned before)
- Useless and strange record button (mention, too)
- Shutter prio mode is not working: all pictures with shutter faster than 1/100 s were taken with 1/100 s no matter what I set, except for 1/10000 s (strange)
+ Manual mode works fine
+ 12/20 MP modes are available for SuperiorAuto
Without the scenes button, there's no way to check other modifications introduced by the author, so I guess we'll need their help.

According to Xperia Developer page, bootloader would leads to
the removal of DRM security keys may affect advanced camera functionality. For example, noise reduction algorithms might be removed, and performance when taking photos in low-light conditions might be affected.

dualeoo,
According to that, then it would be possible to flash the drm keys again after doing root?, I say it because before with the other xperia could be done
