Here you go.
The default calibration from Sony is very blueish, it worst than the other Sony phone I use before. After I manually change the white point things look better.

Hi, can you describe how did you change white point? I want to reduce yellowish for my device by editing this file, but I have no idea how to edit it. Can you show me right direction?

[LOGCAT] help needed some devs help me.

bellow attached is the logcat of my rom xperia z fire i cant see callscreen when someone calls me.
i have to press twice-thrice unlock screen to see who is calling.
i really want to fix it and many other people are also suffering!
I can only found that the sytem couldn't found libtcpfinaggr.so and there's no warn/error about call/phone. your phone.apk might too slow and not optimized for your system. you can try to replace it with something lighter.

Does anyone know any of those boot ani that you can find for lots of phones? I know for example the Z Ultra has one for it.
Obviously they are edited to show the specs of the phone but yea.

It's very simple to create Bootanimation...
You have simple txt file desc.txt in which you can set resolution, loop animation and first animation.
You have great tools for creating animations...
I have few of my own but just can't find time to create new ones

Wow, my post was badly worded.
What I meant was.. Some boot animations have this bios boot animation reading the specs of the phones etc. So I was wondering if someone knew if it existed for Z1 !

Those bootanimations don't really read the specs for the phone, they are made up of images just like all bootanimations. You could just take the ones already in existence and resize the images in the .zip, change the wording on the images and then put it on your Z1

Or just download that "bios" Bootanimation, open zip and find desc.txt file, open it and change resolution to resolution of your phone
Save and put bootanimation.zip in system/media

Yeah...just download.
We don't all in our pockets, mate.
Use Google search, not XDA and you'll find it without any problems.
First result is what you can't find!
Just use Google and find resolution for your phone.

Why would I want a bios bootani for Nexus on my Z1 ?
I've googled and there are lots of bios bootani but how does that help me. You can't just edit the text from the png like that so it's pretty useless.
I could wipe the current text and redo all 100+ pictures but thats lots of work, hence why I asked here first.

If you want to built your own Bootanimation, use that pngs and and programs for PC - it's damm easy.
If I or someone else have animation we would post it but we don't have so - try to find it.
You have Google and search like we all do.
On that first link you have animation for 10-15 devices - maybe there's one for your resolution - don't search for your phone, search for your resolution.
And there's animations for many phones, not only Nexus.
Bootanimation is bootanimation - diference is only on resolution. - I thought you know that.
Download for other phone, edit pngs and build bootanimation if you don't like text on it.
You have tutorials on YouTube - and it's very easy to do that.

I asked if anyone knew if there was a BIOS bootani tailored for Z1 , not some random bootanimation.
It's time consuming which is why I asked first instead of redoing one.
So all in all, I don't want a bios bootani for another phone on my Z1, because that would defeat the purpose.
I've googled and I guess the only solution is to edit one . Sorry for being so confusing at the beginning.

I tried both of these and they both didn't work. I tried other bootanimations and they worked fine. I'm on a Nexus 5, but that shouldn't matter. I'd really like this to work on my device as I can't find the Xperia Z1's stock Jelly Bean bootanimation either. I need that one, too. Thank you!

[UPDATE]XE Use Illumination bar for notifications?[It Works!!!]

I have a Xperia E-1504 rooted stock .23 firmware.
I need help on how to customize the working of the illumination bar in my phone?
Some one suggested BusyBox in another thread but I don't have a single clue!!
I would appreciate if someone could help me out. I have uploaded some files, check them out if they are related to the illumination bar. If some one needs any file for the ILLUMINATION BAR to work please don't hesitate to ask!!!!
Note-I mod my phone manually so please no flashing tutorials!!
Thanks
BUMP!!
Does no one have time to reply to my question. I kinda need help here!!

Uhm, I don't know how to this, but I think you'll need more than just one file. A lot of files are involved with the led and the notifications. Perhaps there is an app for this, but my guess is that this would be pretty hard if not impossible!
Note: I'm not an expert in this stuff, just guessing here. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

if someone were to hack the walkman app or album on stock the secrets may be uncovered ......
{no app can emulate this and the apk is useless without anything to trigger it}
and only person to have made progress on this is hsr0 i think his dual recovery kernel had green or/and blue illumination bar lights

can you make the app or something all rom devs can use to include the lightbar in custom roms?
maybe to control the light....turn on & off,message alert,flash while ringing (it'd be cool)
it will come in handy more for cm10/11
Yeah an app would be useful and if anyone needs any files please just ask, I'll upload them ASAP, for the illumination bar control so that DEVs could develop something and everyone can customize the bar!!
This feature would make our Xperia E's cooler than before!!

Wow... slow down
That is way beyond my knowledge, I don't now how to create an app. All I know its to do with the bootrec file in the ramdisk/init.

That file can be found when you decompile the kernel.elf.
Kernels are dangerous to mess with! Plus you need a ton of experience to work with kernels and make big changes.

Ok, thanks!! Now I don't think Customization for the illumination bar in XperiaE won't be available soon.
But another question how does the Illumination Bar Pro app light the bar on other Xperias?, and only Xperia E is not supported!!!

@MatsPunt
Obviously you won't find it! It's in the kernel so you have to decompile the kernel to get it.

I said sorry for that already, I was just curious and excited, that if I found the file someone might be able to develop an app or something. Anyways how does the app Illumination Bar Pro control the LEDs on other Xperias' and not on Xperia E?
It's working good on my XJ

As you may know that Android was developed for the xperia e by a different company, therefore it might be different to all others. If you must know that you can scan the system/lib folder to see which one is for the illumination bar. That might help

I found out today that SemcIllumination.apk is used on other phones to control the illumination bar.
If anyone has this APK (especially DEVs), either mod it and upload it or just upload it for the DEVs to work their magic!!!
I am also searching for it, and thinking of getting the APK from my friend's Xperia SP and I'll upload it tomorrow(for the DEVs) and try to install it too!!
And by the way which company developed Android for Xperia E? Please let me know ASAP, then I'll email them and ask them how should I control the Illumination Bar.!!!
Thanks a Lot!!

Yup I have tried it, using some apps, I got pink and orange too, I'll test the app again and reply!!!
I going to get it done. Even if it takes months. I am already learning JAVA at college, and from tutorials over the internet, I'll learn it and then modify the app. It is a long shot but its worth it.
I'll also be uploading the app from Xperia SP or Xperia L maybe both by tomorrow for the DEVs. And what about the Illumination bar API released by sony?? Can't it help somehow??

It will burn the lcd for sure if it's more bright, maybe bit more bright could be possible but the kernel allow only max 25

Also for some reason I could npt install the zip trough recovery.. It failed..
Any idea of lower the minimum brightness? Brighter is good but I need something that suit my night-reading hobby....
Or just add "echo xx > $dev/wled:backlight/min_current" And if it right, what is the lowest value we can get....

[Q] Xperia Themes Editing

How to successfully edit xperia themes ?? Normal decompiling and recompiling broke the theme
Try to edit them like 9.pngs, leave last 1 pixel (on every side) unedited. I used Paint.net for that, make two layers, in first one remove everything except one pixel on the ends, on second one remove one pixel of the end, edit according to your needs, merge two layers. Save png. That worked for me.
