this is another demo for implementing the Bravia Engine, not limited to the Gallery3D, but for the wallpaper as well. no changes to the installation or settings at all and it is almost the same as the previous demo except the wallpaper is also rendered by the Bravia Engine. if you only want the engine for the Gallery3D, just keep/install the previous demo.

as to use the Bravia Engine to render your wallpaper, create/re-create it with this gallery app

for more info, how-to and installation, please refer to SGS2 Gallery Sony Bravia Engine demo

again, no performance tuning, etc was applied and bugs are expected

UPDATE: SGS2 Gallery Sony Bravia Engine demo


see the differences with Sony Bravia Engine turned on in Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 with default gallery (Gallery3D.apk). for those who believed Sony Bravia Engine can only be run on Sonys device but not others, you can still say that this is not a "100% port" and i will not argue with you. however, you must admit that it can be run on a SGS2 too


EDIT: these screenshots were made on 15 Dec 2011, but for some reasons the publish date was postponed. there is no schedule for resuming the development yet, until a row with one of the forum is resolved.

also note that the images on the left are identical to those on the rigth hand side (except the bottom one), indicating the outputs from Samsung Gallery3D with Sony Bravia Engine and SonyEricsson Gallery3D are indifferent

UPDATE: it now works with stock gallery IT WORKS!! Sony Bravia Engine and Samsung Galaxy S2 with stock Gallery3D



hi all,

after i mistakenly reported the Sony Bravia Engine worked with SGS2 before, i decided to test if the Bravia Engine can be used on Galaxy S2 myself from the beginning

after spending a whole day in dealing with the files and dependencies, i think i have found something finally and yielded the following results :

1 - the Gallery3D (SemcGallery3D.apk) from X10 works together with the stock one




2 - the library file libswiqibmpcnv.so is loaded after the SE Gallary is launced, and fuser shows the libswiqibmpcnv.so is being used by the SE Gallary




3 - the be_photo is loaded by the libswiqibmpcnv.so when a photo is selected in the SE Gallery. and if it is removed, libswiqibmpcnv.so reports an error




and finally, the outputs for two HD images found on the internet from stock Samsung Gallery3D.apk and SonyEricsson SemcGallery3D.apk with be_photo loaded, taken by screen capture

however, if you followed my installation steps, it is safe to remove the files with the instructions stated below and it should not do any harm to your system

for more information, pleas read this



the graphic engine used by some Sony Android mobile devices, aka Sony Bravia Engine, has been ported to SGS2 by GadgetCheck, a XDA member.

it is basically a new set of data for fine tunning the qualities of the graphics shown on your screen with another approach. the differences can be seen quite easily when you are viewing photos, where the sharpnesses are increased together with more realistic object layers (not yet tested with movies, although some said the quality for playing HD movies looks good)

the installation is easy enough as well as rolling back to your existing files. simply download the zip file here and then put the files, be_movie and be_photo, into /system/etc/

now, one more step needs to be done in order to turn this engine on. i suggest u to create a file named local.prop and put it under /data directory, although GadgetCheck suggested to add the lines into /system/build.prop instead. one reason for putting the required lines (or properties) in /data/local.prop is that it will be much easier for normal user to edit a file under /data rather then the /system directory, where the /data/local.prop will be loaded during system boot up process as well

below shows the lines required to switch on the Bravia engine:

#Sony Bravia Engine Service (this line is a remark only)
ro.service.swiqi.supported=true
persist.service.swiqi.enable=1

another reason for putting these lines in /data/local.prop is, in case you want to roll back to previous settings, just delete the local.prop if it didnt exist before, or by editing the file again, followed by removing the be_movie and be_photo from /system/etc and reboot the phone

again, PLS DO A BACKUP 1st!!
