[Q] Bravia engine 2 success? - Sony Xperia L

Hello everyone I would like to ask if anyone here has had success using a ported bravia engine 2 or xreality?
I have flashed thousands of zips and I don't know what to do to get it working. I'm gonna refresh my os (full of crap) and I would like to know what zip version should I use... As you know there are lots of ports so they all work?
Thanks in advance

I don't know about flashing zips, because the last time I checked CWM was unstable. But there is a manual method that definitely works on both 4.1.2 & 4.2.2 (I have tried it myself), check this out.

[Q] From stock to Team Eos Wifi Nightlie (wingray/MZ604)

Hi,
I'll be getting my brand new Xoom Wifi (EU) next week. Now that there's an ICS rom with camera and hdmi, I want to upgrade to ICS. I have some experience with rooting/flashing the Hannspree Hannspad but just to be sure. The steps to go from stock to Team Eos Wifi Nightlie (wingray/MZ604):
- root
- install clockworkmod
- flash zip from sd
Is this correct ?
Thanks

I am about 90% sure that's correct. Not feeling to well right now and its been a while since I flashed from stock. I am sure someone will correct me if necessary.

You can use the guide, below. I recommend that you read the 1st post thoroughly and at least read the last several pages as they may be somewhat relevant to your situation.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction !
Don't upgrade to any ics rom if you are planing to test drive or daily use the Xoom. You will not be able to play games that have 3d. Only native apps will work (some). I think its the build and not that its a new OS...but its a nightly so you can't complain. I'm going to relock my Xoom and wait for the official release. There is no real point in using a custom rom if you are at the newest OS and the horse power is great for gaming and working. There are plenty of apps that will give you customization without root. Overclocking is not that notorious but will drain the baterry faster so there is no gain. ICS looks awesome and devs are really genious but I think the rom will not be useful until the official update comes out.
I'm coming from the Hannspree Hannspad and on that tablet I've used all kinds of roms (different Honeycomb flavors). I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. From what I've read in the forums the current build is a fully functional ICS rom. Can someone shed a light on this ?
Games or apps that require 3d doesn't work. Even soul craft that is a ics compatible game. So its not ics ...its the rom. I'm not complaining its a nightly but people saying its a functional build...well it is if you stay with the stock apps and native made apps. But for me its not. List of apps that doesn't work that I use. AutoCAD,Photoshop, gta3 , every gameloft , dead space.... some other apps work but sometimes fc or refuse to open and have to reboot. Some will say its not the rom but devs not upgrading theyr apps for ics but I have seen games working and then not in every ics build. So there's that.
Most of the application works. gameloft's game is not working currently.
I m nw on teameos aosp build29 n i m very satisfy with this rom. It is extremely smooth n fast. camera is working now too.

Actually the nightly builds are quite functional for daily drivers. It depends on what you do with your Xoom. I'm not that much of a gamer, so I don't care much about that. Photoshop Touch works fine, but can't connect with Creative cloud (at least a few builds ago when I tried), most everything else works fine. Not all apps have made the changes needed for compatibility with ICS yet, so not really an Eos ICS Nightly problem.
All went smooth. Running ICS now! Heaven. Thanks a lot!
Edit: should cifs work out of the box? Using cifs manager but cannot mount shares
Edit 2: When upgrading to a new nightly: just wipe cache & flash zip ? (sorry can't post in the correct forum yet).

Stock JB Xposed Framework Compatible?

Apologies if this has already been covered, search is currently offline/disabled, so I could only search XDA using Google and didn't find anything.
I'm running the stock Jelly Bean ROM (4.1.2) DeODEX'd with a few little tweaks, nothing big.
I was checking out the Xposed Framework project ( read here ) and wondering if anyone knows if it's compatible with the stock'ish Photon Q 4G ROM?
If someone is able to confirm/deny it would save the time of backing up, flashing/installing, then having to restore back if it isn't.
Thanks in advance.:good:
I haven't tried it myself, but it should work on any device.
Just be sure you take that backup so you can restore...
Based on this comment - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41156747&highlight=xposed#post41156747
Looks like it in all likelihood works fine, so I'll probably give it a shot this evening after work.
As an update, the framework installs fine, no issues at all. Some of the modules available work, some are exclusive to HTC or Samsung devices, so unfortunately those are a no go.

What are you trying to achieve? The stock based ROMs are much more stable than the CM ROMs. There's no need or use to delete things and if you delete too much you will start to cause problems.

I am not aware of any fully functional CM based or other custom ROMs for the P62xx series. The is a CM11 ROM that is a work in progress on the forum. I would install the latest stock 4.1.2 , root and then install a third party launcher , lock screen and other items to make it look the way I want. That will get you a stable, basically custom ROM. I think its unlikely that a stable CM11 will ever appear unless Samsung releases a stock 4.4 from which to build on and CM 10 is now outdated with no developers to support it.
Have you tried the development section.. There are alot of custom roms there.. PAC, Omni to name a few..
Try the Omni4.4.2 it is still in development but it works great and having KitKat on this Tablets is awesome
Guys pardon for my ignorance(im new to this upgrading/flashing thing) but how do you install custom roms?
I'm considering it an option because after i flashed my p6200 with the new jellybean rom via odin, my tablet works until it got battery drained and now stuck on "boot-loop", I've done the CWM wipe/reset data thing but still stuck in that loading screen, I also did try reflashing it with the same jelly bean firmware but still stuck.. I'm thinking installing a custom rom might make it work again..
or if you do have the old honeycomb stock rom for P6200 DXKL2 firmware that i could use via odin.

does it work for you?
I've downloaded this man.. copied it to my sdcard and then installed it through CWM recovery, now I get to the part where I had to choose stuff, like pre-installment settings like whether to choose "wipe user data" and such, and then install "samsung exclusive?" or "default install" or "remove bloatware", so there after choosing my options it then goes to this page with texts and the android robot at the background, it was so fast that I didn't even get to read what is written, i remember only "wipe?" or sort of, it goes for like a second and then restart back to the
"samsung galaxy tab 7.0 plus" loading screen, it's already been a while and it's still stuck in there, I wonder if that is normal, or again like any other stock rom i've flashed with using (odin method) this is stuck and going nowhere?
help! i wanted to post this at the development thread of this certain rom, but Im not allowed due to having few posts i guess?
and by the way, could someone share a ".pit" file for the p6200, i think it might be helpful for making this tab work again, thanks!

[Help] Add X-Reality and/or Bravia to your rom

hello guys dear devs
I am not new to android devices but working on them as a developer is a new step for me. Right now i'm making a rom.
I have learned a lot and im really glad i bought my xperia L.
I want to make my rom for locked bootloaders, and im thinking of using it only for myself (not sure if i will release it, maybe), i have
managed to add cybershot and a sound mod to my rom and now i would like to improve visuals.
I want to add xreality or bravia engine (if i can, both) but i dont know where to get them, and the ones i have found need patched services.jar or
other weird things... Do i really need to do that? can i add these mods to my rom without having to change any other thing (just add files, from
the developer/porter)? do i have to use a special settings.apk to get the options working?
I hope you guys can answer, thanks in advance and happy roming

[Completed] Is there a rom for the Xperia sp that bravia engine 2 works in?

Im buying a Xperia Sp tomorrow and i'm planning on rooting and putting a custom rom on (maybe CM 13) I'm wondering is there a rom thats based on either 5.1.1 or 6 that supports the sony bravia engine 2 so that it still works?
alot of people have said to me if its based on a "stock rom" then it will, is this true and also whats the difference between stock roms and other roms?
also if there isnt a rom based on 5 or 6 that supports it and only 4.4.4 does for example that will still do.
I Would also appreciate it if someone could provide a link to one (if there is one) thanks

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
Stock would be what the OEM (in this case, Sony) releases or is at least the base. A custom ROM has a different base (often very close to AOSP), which include CyanogenMod.
Because CM would not have the libraries that Sony has, Bravia Engine probably will not work. Probably the only way it would be, is to use either the Sony stock ROM or something that used the Sony ROM as it's base.
Unfortunately a quick scan in the SP Development area does not match your criteria.
By the way, this thread may help:
> Sony Xperia SP > Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > Have stock... Want to put something custom on it. Confused
Can direct any questions there, once you have an XDA account.
A bit late for your final decision in purchase, but I hope this helps.
