I think the main problem could be twrp. This mod works fine on 7.1.2 rom with 3.0.2.0.rc1 twrp. On every newer twrp it somehow fails. On O i evem wasn't successful installing 8.1b with script. I finally could install an older arise (3.09) - had to delete some system apps before. But i most like weta mod for it's quality and small size. So it's great if the def finds some time to look at it.

Best implementation of viper and dolby for my setup I have found yet.

Flashes on Twrp RC1 but won't work on RC2 or the new unofficial Twrp for Android O that we currently have, found here

No hacks or anything required to make it run on 7.1.2 except using TWRP R1 like the others said.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
Is R1 the latest for you guys?

[emoji450] --->
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] ThePureTalent:
The latest (official) is 3.1.0-0-RC2 but nothing passed 3.0.2-0-RC1 has worked for me, including the modified TWRP img for Oreo. I tried flashing WETA mod on 8.0 with that modified version, RC2 and RC1 but none work, on 7.1.2 RC1 works but not the others.

Don't know if that's helpful to you or not, but when I flashed on Oreo with the modified TWRP the app did not show up, so I manually installed the APK from the .zip and the V4A profiles included in WETA showed up. So only part of the install is failing.

Edit: Even when installing the APK manually on Oreo after an install, the V4A drivers do not work, in case that wasn't clear. The app loads but can't access the drivers since they failed to install.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] ffchampmt:
I've actually had this work, and stick, by unzipping one of the older versions that contained WETA-flash.sh and using the old root explorer to execute the script as root. It's been the most effective way to install V4A for me.

Mad props to OP, I know you've moved on but I absolutely have to have V4A, so I appreciate what you've previously done.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] john7760:
Please tell me specifically which version you used and how!!! I actually switched back to 7.1.2 because I couldn't get Viper to work. I'd love to go back to 8.0 but I need Viper.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] ffchampmt:
I'm sorry I should have clarified... I got it to stick on 7.1.2 not 8 *apologies*

But the older zip was WETA_AUDIO_PIXEL_8.zip, might be worth a shot
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] john7760:
Your killing me smalls!!!! lol

I use the 9.1 version he has out and it installs perfectly every time no issues btw
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] phrir1:
Did you use the steps used in the twrp thread? If so are you on Android 8.0? I already downloaded the arise zip file and prop but don't want to waste my time if it won't work on 8
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Donric13:
Yeah i am on Oreo. Arise works for me. The solution is to debloat rom first in twrp (file manager), use root explorer to mount system r/w and then flash arise minimal. The thing with mounting system r/w with root explorer i am not absolutely sure if it's necessary.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] john7760:
When you say arise minimal what are you referring too? Base and viper or a different file? Thanks
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Donric13:
In another thread found a tip using arise 3.09 installing only core system and script permissive. This worked for me. Also i have read in another thread that it's also working with latest arise. Think you gonna give it a try. If it's not working just flash only system (edit flash-all.bat removing "-w" and modem and bootloader flash - so you still have all your data and settings and restart flashing supersu after....).
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] john7760:
Is the permissive script part of the arise prop set up? I was looking through it and didn't see it.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Donric13:
Here a link to the prop filei used. Found the file on another thread...

Awesome thanks!
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] phrir1:
I've tried flashing the arise zip a few times now and it goes through the steps just fine, but for the life of me It never even installs the v4arise APK or the drivers.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] cmo220:
It sounds like you aren't debloating /system.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] eleazar123:
Does flashing arise on 8.0 require a custom kernel? or are you guys on complete stock when you flash? on 7.x I could never get arise to work without first flashing a custom kernel. Would love to avoid that on 8.0 if i can :)
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] airmaxx23:
It works fine on the stock kernel.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] hokiealumnus:
May I ask what you guys are removing from System, and which version of Arise you're installing? I tried installing it yesterday (prior to reading about /system size issues) and it just got stuck on the Google screen (the one before the boot logo) and never went past it.

I'm on 8.0, ElementalX 2.00, SuperSU & SU Hide, if that matters. I can't run permissive b/c of Safety Net, so maybe that's an issue?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Donric13:
Arise 3.09 (deutonoromy) with prop file i posted earlier in this thread. Deleted hangout, g+, gmail and some more things i don't remember anymore. I am on stock kernel. Also mounted system r/w with root explorer (read about this in another thread). Didn't install any busybox.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] socioteq:
Is there a reason you chose to use Deuteronomy vs Magnum Opus? Does it not install on Opus?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Donric13:
I have read that magnus opus ftom 11.8. should also work. But i found the prop file wich refers to 3.09 in another thread and after half a day of trying around this worked on my device. So i thought never change a running system.... Gonna give the actual magnus opus a try whith september update....
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] john7760:
I've tried it several different ways and can never get Magnus working. The only luck I've has is to use Dueteronomy 2.94. It's very irritating and frustrating.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sarim26:
I wanted to ask, does the weta mod work on android oreo, i had it when my pixel xl was on nougat and it was amazing, now ive rooted my phone after updating to oreo and V4A is the one thing i cant live without???
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] socioteq:
Are you guys doing anything special to get this working on O? I've tried everything, and I've used Opus and Deuteronomy, no success. I used Permissive and enforcing as well, no success.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] muzzy996:
No detailed guide yet on getting it working but based upon the last page or so of comments if the only way to get it to work requires deletion/uninstallation of things from system then that's unfortunate. I might end up staying on 7.1 indefinitely if I have to chose between core applications and V4A. All depends how much has to get removed I guess.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] hokiealumnus:
FYI, I tried Deuteronomy 3.09 after de-bloating system. It did not work when installing only the core module and viper4arise. It seems that permissive would be required, which won't pass safety net. Regrettably it looks like I might be SOL until they get Magnum Opus working.

It's a poor substitute, but for the time being I remembered VLC player has a built-in equalizer.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] kreizyidiot:
So I have the v4a installed through aroma... but I didn't notice a sound difference...

Am I doing something wrong?

My phone is rooted but it doesn't seem like the v4a even requires root since I never got the "grant authorization" from v4a

I tried playing music through amazon music and spotify....when music is playing...and i was changing the settings...i did not notice any sound difference....

I check the system status and the processing is on....
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] bestgio:
I've installed this successfully via recovery using TWRP on RC1. However, did anyone got this mod working with Magisk v13.4? I've tried those two out and V4A would throw a driver error, but after changing Magisk to SuperSU, V4A worked beautifully. (On Android 7.1.2 with Aug 2017 security patch)

Not a huge concern, but getting this mod working while obtaining systemless root would be awesome! Any help is greatly appreciated!
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] martinez5241:
After flashing aroma and booting there was nothing that was installed and I lost complete sound... I did a sideload ADB ota to fix it. Haven't tried flashing. Suggestions? I'm on stock 8.0 ver.11, supersu,ex kernel
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] bestgio:
I've got this installed perfectly on 7.1.2 with supersu. However, a little issue I have with Viper v2.5.0.5 is that the audio effect would stop working randomly. I couldn't get it to work again unless if I manually restart the phone. Out of curiosity, where does the zip flash Viper to? Was curious if the zip file installs viper as a system app. I used root explorer to navigate to system/app but couldn't seem to find anything related to viper there.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

EDIT: I finally found it under system/priv-app which I think already solved my original question. However, the audio effect still stops working at random times. I have a feeling it could be the process getting killed? I also have MusicFX disabled as well.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] bill.in.detroitX:
I installed this today on my Pixel XL with Pure Nexus 7.1.2 , SuperSU 2.82 , TWRP RC1 and Substratum.

Works fine.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Poloasis:
Same thing happened to me, bt I did not loose sound. Basically the installation of WETA Marlin v9.1 was successful but no app install or able to see anything at all. I'm using TWRP 3.1.1-1 Slot A, Magisk 14.2, stock O, stock kernel.

Also same thing happened with MagnumOpus from Arise, I restored my nandroid backup and flash WETA, nada.

Anybody with with an idea, thanks.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Dachfenster:
The AROMA-Installer didn't work for me either. But the old method where you execute the script worked perfectly for me. You've to use an older version than 9 or course. I'm currently running 8. https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767115084
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Poloasis:
At the end I the I went with MagnumOpus latest ver and the only way to get it working is clear some system space 300+mb and then set to permissive. Everything now works flawlessly. Use df -h in terminal Emul to verify system space.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Dachfenster:
I've had 800mb + free space and kernel set to permissive from the beginning. Didn't work nevertheless. Glad it worked out for you though. :)

Edit: Out of curiosity: do you've got a download link for the MagnumOpus version you've used?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Poloasis:
Forgot to say I also use the Arise Magisk module 4.0 with this.

Now that might make a difference. Maybe I'll give it a shot.

hey, could someone in here be so kind and share the WETA V4A audio profile with me? I recently purchased the 2 XL.. and got Magisk root installed on it with the V4A module... but now I need a profile, and since TWRP isn't functioning properly yet on my device, I'm not sure how to get the WETA profile since it was installed via an Aroma installer through TWRP.. i really appreciate it if someone could help me out. thanks again

Yes, this mod has nothing to do with my system ui crashes. It started with supersu. I crash twice after any reboot. And when I do a Google search. Mod didn't change anything for me.

So I have found something out,... Accidentally. I rooted my pixel again, and I noticed whenever I unplugged the USB the systemui would crash. My battery was low. So it occurred to me to disable the battery warnings at 5 and 15% and it seems to have cured the issue. This involves flashing a new framework-res.apk. I'll upload and outline this in the op and on the website. Hopefully the battery warning is the only thing causing the systemui crashing

[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
Possible SystemUI crash fix

I have disabled all low battery warnings in framework-res.apk as i found that my SystemUI would crash whenever i unplugged usb on low battery. This had an immediate good result for me. It may not be the only issue with root though. But try it out.

I would like to uninstall va4 2.5.05 and install 2.3.4.0. What is the best way to uninstall it without losing my data?

Edit. Figured it out. Just had to reflash boot.img and it went away. Installing V4A 2.3.4.0 now. Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
That doesn't make any sense flashing a boot.img shouldn't remove the mod haha. Weird. Anyway for future, simply flashing over the top of the other mod would be fine.

[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] ExcuseTheN00b:
I did flash the mod over the other one the first time but I had both v4a installed then. Of course the 2.3.4.0 driver was installed but I was also switching kernels so I flashed the boot.img and it deleted the reboot app, dolby app and both viper4android apps.

Glaring mistake on my part which affects the "behind the scenes" auidio mods and drivers associated with xloud and beats etc.

- Added build.prop lines for these mods.

This mod now flashes a modified build.prop, meaning if you have any build.prop mods, you will need to reapply them after flashing this mod.

its okay, they are good mods and thanks for your work.. just a warning to everyone that you should always be careful what you are flashing and i failed to take my own advice. these mods are great but maybe beta should be stressed more or take a look at your code usually echo or sed are your best friends when using build.prop mods, dont want to discourage you from your work tho definitely better than anything i have to offer
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
I was using echo. I don't know why I changed it. You only had to flash system.img though right?

Script modifications to be more universal for build.prop mod

- no longer replaces build.prop, now appends to file instead, keeping existing mod lines

FYI - if you are having any weird messages on boot regarding system, you may need to aquire the system/build.prop and vendor/build.prop from your version of firmware first. Replace what you have , then flash the mod.
