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

Samsung Gallery3D	SonyEricsson Gallery3D

i started to doubt about the Bravia stuff after i posted it days ago, i asked myself some questions:

- how can the engine work with the properties in prop file alone?
- without any library files or apps, what makes the engine to load the be_movie and be_photo file?
- if this trick really works, then the engine should be known by the Android system in advance or being part of it. does it?

unfortunately, it looks like we were all misled by the brand name - Sony, we believed their technologies in display units are better ... i must admit that i was one of them

I searched for the Sony Bravia Engine thing and found that we need at least two more lib files to start the engine: libswiqibmpcnv.so and libiwiOmxUtil.so, which should be come with Android devices made by Sony

moreover, it is likely that, without an proper application, these lib files wont be loaded into our Android system

as a result, it means that, the Bravia Engine was not working with our SGS2 before, at least for now

please accept my sincere apologies


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