Hi Ashish, i did as instructed but getting 2 Bravia in Display ----1 and 2
,wat 2 do.
iam using XS
Anurag, this error is resolved i rebooted my XS 2-3 times then found Bravia Engine 1
ro.service.swiqi.supported=true
persist.service.swiqi.enable=1 ,,, deleted n rebooted now geting one BE2. & under brightness not getting White balane option on XS....
Ok, its' great that now it is working, but didn't you remove that line of BE 1 in starting when i asked you to do ???
White Balance option was there before ?
Is it possible to port in xperia l ??
it's worth a try...it can be installed on any ( Xperia as well as non Xperia Phone ) didn't we mention it in post above...!!!
Please make a full back up of your system + data via recovery before trying the above mod.
I have installed the bravia engine 2 and now I have both the engines 1 and 2...
I dont see how thats an error
But one thing i am facing is that whenever I reboot my phone
it says android upgrading 0/88 and takes few minutes to start up...pls tell me how to solve this
Users are getting 2 BE at the same time because, the uploaded file of BE2 is a global file means you can install it on any phone ( non - xperia also ) so when an Xperia user is flashing the file ( he must remove first the old BE files ) if it is done then only 1 BE will be seenn.
Android Upgrading issue is coming because files have been modified during flashing, but it shouldn't come again and again...please try wiping cache and dalvik cache...see if it still happens or not...report back then.
wiped cache and dalvik cache yet the android upgrading is appearing everytime i reboot :/
It should not happen, can't say why are you getting this..
try removing the BE 1 AND then see if it still happening or not...
