Bruh this mod so dope. Love that bass it's amazing. Good looking on this OP. I'm feeling this.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
Glad you like it. I usually build Roms but being there is no twrp yet, I got a little impatient. All these mods will move to my rom once there is a flashing method

[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] holla420:
Nice. Can't wait for twrp. I'll definitely give ur ROM a shot one we're able to.

Hello,

Have you noticed any negative affects since installing? I would assume I can execute the script within Root Explorer as well? I had seen you were showing 100% battery warning in the root feed.

Cheers
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
100% battery thing is root related. You can run the script with any root explorer that supports script executing. As long as the contents of the zip are extracted in a folder of the same name. You could also run it in a terminal emulator

? --->
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jschill31:
Sorry, didn't mean to infer your mod was causing issues. As far as Root Explorer goes it does have the option of running something as a Linux script, just wasn't sure if there was other reasons behind the recommended app.

Cheers

[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
I only recommended root browser because it extracted into a folder (with the same label as zip) by default.

I'm on L (non verizon) and have the newer root and also ElementalX kernel.

I can't seem to get the L version of your audio or systemUI mods to install?

I execute the script from the /downloads/folder_name/scriptX.sh and my phone reboots but no change is made when I get booted back up.

I verified I'm set to permissive.

Any suggestions?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
I haven't updated the older version firmware mods with the new supersu script edits. But all you need to do..... Is view the script instead of executing... Then change the mount point from "system_root" to "system" save it, then execute it. Then it should work..

? --->
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] epsix:
I viewed the installer and it's set to "system" but it doesn't work, mine is L also rooted with elements kernel.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:

How do I install this on the Pixel XL?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Golf c:
Read the installation instructions from the first page of this thread.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] airmaxx23:
I've followed them and tried 4 times, my phone reboots about 1 second after hitting execute and nothing gets installed.

Edit: I do have the latest SU installed.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
OK go into root browser and instead of hitting execute on the script hit view. Then delete the "reboot" command at the end of the script, save then execute the script. Take a screen shot of the errors you get in the box..

Hello will this mod increase the speaker volume during phone calls and any sms notifications?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
Are you finding you need to boost your call audio? I used to do that on my 6p though I've found pixel has a loud enough phone speaker. I can see if I can whip up a mod to boost it a little though

? --->
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] kingrichards:
Yeah that would be totally awesome! I came from Galaxy S7 Edge and that speaker phone call thing is really nice and loud bet a lot of people will agree with that,,,Pixel XL is an awesome phone would be even better with the phone call speaker loud MOD.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] PesTicide.:
I could like that also. Boost in call audio.. Am little bit deaf person. ?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] kingrichards:
Wonder if we can get that soon like today lol
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
OK, I've made a mod, it's experimental but won't break anything. I'm pretty sure it boosts as my ear hurts a little after last test. So be careful I'll post link in 2 min

Strange echo/reverb

When using Viper in a low CPU usage environment it works fine. However when I play certain games (example, Marvel Contest of Champions) the audio has a nasty reverb or gets a weird echo randomly.

Anyone else experienced something similar?

I installed 2.5 then went to 2.3 and met with the same result.

Is there I way to completely remove Viper if need be?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] kingrichards:
How did it go?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] nycdiplomat:
I am getting the same thing as well. It's fine if I play music thru Google music but if I play a game, I can definitely hear it. I'm on su sr3 with weta music mod version 6b.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
What happens if you disable v4a and play the game? And Dolby?

? --->
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] mostyle:
When you say disable, do you mean just make sure the master switch is off for both? Did that. Made no difference in either version.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
OK. This will take a bit of time to track down. I'll download the game and see what's up

[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] nycdiplomat:
Yea same with me, disabled viper. Same effect
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jschill31:
Hello,

I have been following the thread and I am wondering if there may be some over processing on games? The games and or movies can be encoded for multi-channel audio instead of just stereo. It would make sense if this is the case as both SRS and Atmos may be in competition for the multi-channel source. Would it be possible to make a version with just V4A and Dolby Atmos? I really do not want to create any request based work but I am (and have been) in the audio business for 26 years, over processing can cause issues. If you made a version with just these two, V4A could handle the stereo (music) tracks and Dolby Atmos for multi-channel audio. May give cleaner processing and better performance. Just an idea....not meant to offend in any way.

Cheers
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] yung40oz84:
I have pro version of busybox, so where to install it to? it defaults to /su/xbin, there is also /system/xbin, /system/bin, and /su/bin, stay with default?

Also, what if I need to revert? can I only do so by wiping and going back? or is there things I can reset or change and delete to get back if something is wrong?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
Yeah I can do that later today. I was aware of the game issue. There is a conflict somewhere.

? --->
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
Busybox isnt essential anymore, and i mad a script to remove all files and swap back in stock ones. Should be fine on both pixel devices. You may want to go into build.prop after and delete all the lines below ###WETA though.

[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jschill31:
That would be awesome, thanks! It will be interesting to see if it clears up things. I know Guitarhero ran into some issues with SRS.

Cheers

Pixel XL
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
I could also just remove the srs side of things too. I'll make up two versions for testing

? --->
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] yung40oz84:
That was fast! Thanks so much bud! When new versions come out, we should be able use that remove file, remove build.prop lines, and then try new version?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
Yes that would work

Cool stuff man. I did this all by hand the previous day and was going to offer to create this exact thing. Props to you again sir.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:

V4ADA1 - V4a 2.5.0.5

Both these versions have all audio mods omitted as to help with echoing while gaming.

Only V4A and Atmos present.

Fyi.. this can be flashed over the top of previous audio mods

[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] nycdiplomat:
Flashed the update over the top of the previous. Still getting the same echo effect unfortunately. Even tried turning off master power to Dolby and viper, rebooted, turned them both back on, rebooted just for safe measure, no change.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
OK well thanks for trying it out. I'll remove those zips and make one with just v4a and Dolby Atmos for you guys
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
Ive edited the post with new files to only install V4A and Atmos, see how that goes

--->
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jschill31:
Hello,

Ran the script and do have Dolby and Viper installed. Both were active after reboot but seem to disable after a few power toggles and stop processing? Once I reboot the processing works again. The driver will show enabled and under "processing" it will say no, ever seen this before? Thanks for you work on this, when V4 is processing it sounds so much better.

Cheers
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] nycdiplomat:
Getting this when trying to run the newest version over top of the previous. Spot checked a few of the directories and they are there. I am running the .sh as root. Am I Missing something? Lol

Get the same thing when I try to run the remove script [MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION]

Edit: my phone was being dumb. When I ran the remove script and rebooted a 2nd time everything was removed. Ran the newest version again and rebooted, still get the same echo. Anyone else no longer getting the echo with the new versions, just want to make sure
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jschill31:
I also received the same errors when running the script. It does seem to complete and move the files though...
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
No I haven't seen that. Sorry if this is obvious but you were playing music when processing said no? Music needs to be playing..

If there is still a problem, I will re build the package. I may have messed something up.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
All that means is you have already removed those files in a previous audio install. Maybe because you installed the 6g1 version, or had nothing installed at all. It's a bit ugly... So I might keep the uninstalling separate, so you would be running the uninstall script first then install the audio mod you want..
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jschill31:
Yes playing music. I do not think there is an issue with anything. Seems to be more of a global permission issue or glitch caused by toggling the power of V4 itself. Almost as if the stock kernel lost permissive. Honestly I swear my other devices requested root but I may be mistaken. I will fire up my N6 and check at some point. As long as i don't toggle the power it seems to stick.

Cheers

Pixel XL
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
It shouldnt ask for root, that only happens when v4a is trying to install the driver which it doesnt need to. Though the selinux does need to be permissive.. The is actually an option in the 2.5.0.5 version of v4a to set to permissive. you could try that as well and see if that changes anything.

Also.. what device are you on? I did use the audio_policy from the xl and am wondering if that matters. I doubt it though
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jschill31:
I have a Pixel XL and it makes sense what you said. I did see in that the script the permissive. It could actually just be a glitch in the app itself but when i lost processing on V4 it also stopped on Dolby. Could be my device, guess others would need to toggle a few times to see if it happens or not?

Pixel XL
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
Just a note, if you are using Spotify.... There is an issue that if using gapless playback, when the song changes to the next, processing will stop. I uncheck gapless playback in Spotify settings to avoid this.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
I also have just noticed that I forgot about the build.prop and removing of the lines. Try deleting all lines under and including ###WETA
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jschill31:
Is there still references to the other apps in your normal package?

Ah, i do see a bunch of other items listed. If i delete all of the Wetta items will V4 still work?

Pixel XL
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
You know what, maybe I'm not cleaning things out enough, I'll dig deeper.. probably upload a new zip soon
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jschill31:
Can i delete everything under Wetta and still retain V4 & Dolby?

Pixel XL
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
There is an update, hold tight......

edit-- actually there is something bigger going on here that i dont have time to figure out until after work. i think stock effects are conflicting with v4a and dolby. neither work for me. I can fix this im just out of time.

--->
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jschill31:
I think you need a few of the build prop edits...just not the Sony references. Please identify which can be cleared and i will restore and edit again.

Pixel XL
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
No v4a and Dolby don't need any build prop edits present.

I figured it out though.

Run this first. It's a new removal script. And adds back a missing driver

https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0ByUAe3vAX9jSNElIX2JhMl8xOU0&export=download

Then run this new installer

https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0ByUAe3vAX9jSRndRclRDRXpXSjg&export=download
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
The whole issue was actually the removal zip. It was deleting one driver that was actually stock. Oops

The new removal tool ads back the stock drivers properly now
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jschill31:
I did not run a removal flash unless that was integrated inti your flash script? Probably the case and is what causes the "file not found" errors. Thanks again for your help. Since you know which driver is missing couldn't i just extract it and move it to the correct folder then set permissions? That would be my preference if possible.

Pixel XL
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
Honestly, I'd just download that removal script, it has the files in the folder you need.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jschill31:
Sorry i am not following you? I did not run a removal script. Does you install script remove factory files and if so which ones? I know you are trying very hard and i mean no disrespect. I just am not one who blindly does things and have many years experience with Android. I am more comfortable making changes on my own. I just do noy have with me that i need to diff the files. I have V4 set up the way i want and do not want to remove it and start over.

Pixel XL
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
What the removal tool is intended to do, is remove all traces of any WETA audio install. So it will remove added files and replace files with stock ones where needed. What I'm saying is that the files you need are in that zip, as it restores to stock. If you want to do it manually.. replace the .so files that are in system/lib/soundfx with the ones that you'll find in the zip. (This was where I found the issue)

Also replace the audio_effects.conf in system/etc and vendor/etc, this will return it to stock.

Or the best and easiest thing you can do if you are worried about anything is just flash stock system.img. Then flash the new v4adolby V3 zip I linked you to.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jschill31:
If you want to do it manually.. replace the .so files that are in system/lib/soundfx with the ones that you'll find in the zip. (This was where I found the issue)

Perfect, this is what i needed. Thank you for the explanation.

Pixel XL
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
Don't bother swapping the audio_effects.conf if you are just modding manually

The ones in that removal zip aye stock, so v4a etc won't work with them
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jschill31:
Hello,

Now that I am at a PC I looked at what the Dolby/V4 installer script changed in /system/lib/soundfx. I actually have all of the .so files in the folder already, granted they may be altered from stock...not sure on that. One thing I do notice is the permissions for libv4a_fx_ics.so & libswdax.so are not the same as everything else in the folder. Not sure if this is by design but all other .so files are rwxr-xr-x and the two added .so files are rw-r--r--(like any installed app). There are also (3) other ones: libfmas.so, libqcomvoiceprocessingdescriptors.so & libvolumelistener.so. Shouldn't the v4a and swdax files have execute like the rest or should ALL .so files have the rw-r--r--? I looked at one of my other devices to see how it is set on that one (also on 7.1) and all of the those were actuall rw-r--r-- and that device has the same version installed.

Cheers

PS I maxed my thanks on you today as I would like to continue helping if possible. I actually have a LOT of devices, just do not have the time anymore to be as active as I would like. I used to be very active years ago on HTC devices so the Pixel seems to be bringing back my interest again.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
Yeah they should, that must be a typo, they are set to those permissions say the moment on my device and things are running good though.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jschill31:
OK, just so I am crystal clear... Both libv4a_fx-ics.so & libswdax.so should have permissions set to: rwx r-x r-x like the other libs. I did fire up my N6 & N7 which ironically have all libs as rw- r-- r-- which I thought was odd but I have a full permissive kernel installed on both so it may not matter. I am just not ready to start making those kinds of changes on the Pixel yet until we have a working recovery and not just factory flash.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
Yeah I understand.. let me flash back to stock. There's obviously some changes with permissions there. I'll check all stock file permissions and let you know
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
Im looking through permissions on stock right now, am finding this...

system/lib/soundfx folder 755 all files inside 644

system/lib folder 755 all files inside 644

system/lib64 folder 755 all files inside 644

so there are some permission typos in that script but it heads to giving the files too much permissions not not enough. Ill work on this for a bit to rectify the permissions so they are at least correct.

EDIT- there was also some things i needed to comment out in Audio_effects.conf

Everything inbetween the ####WETA tags, I commented out.

Do that in your audio_effects.conf also making sure you have the appropriate entries for v4a and Atmos, then saving and copy to vendor/etc also. This should work for you.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] pro_b:
Hey Mentalmuso. I joined the channel. Are you available to assist me with trying to get this running?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jschill31:
Sorry it took so long to reply but been moving furniture for the wife... So I looked through the audio_effects.conf file using a text editor and I am a bit confused as there is no references to ####WETA that I can find? I even used the find command and it comes back with nothing. I just want to make sure you understand I loaded the V4ADA1 file and nothing before. There does not seem to be anything to comment out that I can see? Also downloaded V4ADA1_V4 and notice that audio_effects.conf is larger in size plus you have a audio_policy_configuration.xml file under sys/etc that is not in the first version. Same thing goes for vendor/etc, so is this the main problem and nothing else? I feel bad that this is turning into a big deal but I would like to get it working. Has anyone confirmed that version 4 is working on stock kernel? I see it has been downloaded 10 times so there must be others using it. I would flash V4 over V1 but I have no idea if it would replace the files or just add ones that were not there.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
I marked the area on my audio_effects.conf. I'll upload you one with the WETA tags. Hold on
