Default [MOD] Sony Bravia Engine - Updated

Dear All,

I was just browsing the xda site and found a port of Sony bravia engine to other devices, so I made a flashable zip to our Photon. Original thread is http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1352859

Do post your results, if you feel any difference.

**** P.S. I have just made a flashable zip, all credit goes to XxXPachaXxX

Ya I'm on CM7 and this happened to me spontaneously last week and I had to resort flashing the sbf to fix it. So it's possible that the bravia zip isn't the real culprit. I've rebooted it several times now and sometimes it starts in airplane mode and it won't get out. The other times, it acts like it completely forgets that it's a phone and has radios to turn on. All I get is a blank signal bar with an X near it; it doesn't even try to contact the network or anything. Except this time, wifi is borked too. It still worked last time this happened. I guess its time to flash the sbf again. Not the quickest process in the world.

EDIT: on the other hand, my pictures do look a bit better now....

I have airplane mode issue now too - it happened first boot after flashing the engine.

Was re-flashing the sbf the only solution you have found so far?

I haven't been able to notice any differences. It would be nice to get two photons next to eachother one with engine and one without and compare. I'll have to hit up BB and take some pictures if I can.

I tried everything but a nandroid backup. That's cuz I'm dumb and never bothered to make a backup.

This seems really cool, so it only works with a stock-based rom?

Would be awesome to get this working on CM7.
