This here is my personal setup and thought i'd share. Usually i test extensively before releasing to public, but if you do find something detrimental to the usage of your device that is either Force Closing or simply not working, let me know and i will in turn inform whether that is something i will tend to.

WETA is a rom for Music geeks like me, though because we are still waiting on TWRP to become available i'd thought i'd make this MOD to flash in the meantime. Its main focus is Audio. ​

This mod installs the following...
V4A 2.5.0.5 or 2.3.4.0
Dolby Atmos
Sony Xperia™ Z5 Premium audio system
Beats™ libraries and effects
WETA Reboot app
​

How to install...

As of 9.0 moving forward, you will need to flash this mod using TWRP.

NOTE: There have been some issues with systemui crashing after install. This results in having to flash back to stock and in some cases having to wipe phone completely.
I advise running an un-encrypted file system at this stage, which may or may not help. Just be aware that things are basically experimental at these early stages.

1. Make sure you are on Stock firmware and have rooted device
2. Download mod zip
3. Install this app "Root Browser"
4. Extract the zip (click and hold, select extract) using Root Browser directly into Download folder. (you should have /sdcard/Download/WETA_*** as folder with files in it)
5. Go into Download/WETA_*** folder and select WETA-flash.sh
6. Tick "Execute script as root"
7. Then select the Execute button
8. It will say "Executing script"
9. Once complete you should have a popup box with no errrors.
10. Reboot device and mods should be installed....

Downloading now. Will test as soon as I get to work. Thanks!

All the ports are coming left and right for device... we'll see how this one goes

 

[ExcuseTheN00b]

I downloaded the zip and followed the instructions. Already rooted, had busybox and Root browser. Restarted and everything was installed. I keep getting FC on Dolby and when I enabled Viper it didn't change anything. I am not sure what I am missing.

Did you start off with a clean system and vendor? The files going to vendor are important. Also are you using a custom kernel?

Selinux needs to be permissive, if you go into a terminal emulator and type su , allow root, then type getenforce , does it say permissive?

Yes they were clean and it is permissive. I'm on ElementalX 0.05.

What is the easiest way to uninstall the mods? I would like to uninstall them and try to reinstall again.

Working great. I do prefer the old Viper though. I think it sounds better. Great job.

 

[jwick2866]

wow, I am super excited, I absolutely love your audio Mods coming from the nexus 6p! Thank you very much for bringing your mods forward to the Pixel XL.

I have tried to get this to work with no success. I did double check and the newest version of busybox is installed. Selinux is set to permissive. I enable the Dolby app and the Viper app but nothing changes. I do not hear any difference with it turn off or on. The Dolby app will crash and FC if I click on play demo and let it sit for a few seconds. I am not sure what is wrong. I do have a custom kernel installed (ElementalX 0.05). I have used this on my Nexus 6p with no issues before but now it just doesn't work on my Pixel. I would like to uninstall it but do not know how to do that. Do I need to perform a full reset to the phone or is there another way to remove the mods and try to reinstall them?

EDIT: Finally got it to work. Came home and reflashed the stock boot.img to go back to stock kernel then reflashed ElementalX 0.05 and re-rooted and reinstalled the mod. Went into Viper and it started to work. Not sure why it wasn't working before but now it works 100%. Thanks again for the mod!

Hey would love to get this working however I seem to be having issues as well, I flashed the elementalx kernel then went through the install process as the instructions listed (using stericsons BusyBox) I note have dolby atmos and viper4android installed but neither are processing, I then read through these posts, checked that selinux was set to permissive (it is) and then cleared my audio_effects.conf that I found in the /etc/ folder and tried reinstalling via the script. Unfortunately still no processing from v4a. If you can think of anything else to check that would be awesome, v4a is the biggest thing I miss coming from my old note 4!

Thanks for the great mod !
Dolby Works without any issues (except the demo)
Viper didn't work immediately with just on processing:no everything else was on yes , then it worked for a few minutes and went back to no.

I tested with Spotify and Play Music.

[edit]: It seems that it doesn't always know that music is playing and when it starts processing if the music finishes it stops again.
Compatible mode does nothing

I have been testing a lot, as there has been some instances of SystemUI crashing after flashing this, and other mods for that matter. I am adding to the op that at this stage it is advisable to have an unencrypted file system.
To achieve this you need to flash back to stock, (including data) and re root before you boot up into android.

I have also made some mods to the install package to modify vendor/build.prop as well as system/build.prop. This may have been an issue also.

If anyone has any more info on these systemui crashes that would be appreciated.

I just pulled link. Just hold off for a bit. I got another systemui crash, but to flash back to stock, fastboot the stock firmware

[Mentalmuso]

So i am still getting systemui crashes with these new changes and an un encrypted system... I am going to dumb down the audio mods to just v4a and dolby. and try that for a day,'

hold tight.

[Mentalmuso]

So are there any people who have been running the mod successfully since yesterday?

If so i have one question.. have you activated SystemUItuner?

SystemUI Crashes...

So after trying to figure out what he hell is wrong with my mods, ive gone to the SuperSU thread and have read people are having these crash issues, even with an unmodified system. So this is all related to root in general.
Looks like we are going to have to just wait for a fix on the root side of things..... ill be pulling links until there is an update to SuperSU

Shouldn't be long, Chainfire is pretty active in the Pixel root thread and seems to be making some headway.
