[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngl_ro:
This is intended behavior on android 7+. Tested on Galaxy S5 with 7.1 Linage, Huawai Mediapad M3 and Galaxy S8+

However there is an app for samsung edge ( not sure if all edgy phones, tested on s8+ ) that can lock the screen without using device administrator. The app in question is Softkey Edge for Edge Panel, installed from galaxy app store. It allows the phone to be unlocked from fingerprint, without pin or pattern as nova prime screen lock gesture for example. And without root.

So there is a way to lock screens without device administrator, we just need to find it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
It's strange. I did not have this problem ever. I had to reload my phone because Oreo update blew up some programs I use a lot. So I downgraded, and now I have this problem.

I don't see anything in my Device Administrators that would cause this. And I haven't added any new programs for quite a while.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santhosh215:
i have the same problem .after i unistalled screen off and lock application ,after working fine.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
I presume that is a third party app. I don't have that to uninstall.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyborian:
I found that the app "Files", a Huawei system app, giving this problem when marked as a device administrator. Disabling it's device administrator privileges solved the problem for me. Who would have thought Huawei's own app gave this problem.

I now lock my screen using Greenify's Sleep & Hibernate action, set up to be activated with a double-tap under Nova Launcher's gestures settings. No problem waking up and using fingerprint. Of course, Greenify must not be a device administrator as well. There are other ways to shut down the screen if not using Greenify.

Can you help with how it is made?

You flash this MOD at your own risk,

i take no responsibility for any mishaps.​

Subscribe to update notifications and general chat by clicking the button below

PIXEL TELEGRAM CHANNEL​

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....

Changes...

Fixed some things in audio_effects.conf

Added a new mod, 3minit battery to download page

#3 1st Nov

[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] ExcuseTheN00b:
Downloading now. Will test as soon as I get to work. Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] zeeBomb:
All the ports are coming left and right for device... we'll see how this one goes
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] 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.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
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?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] ExcuseTheN00b:
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.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Golf c:
Working great. I do prefer the old Viper though. I think it sounds better. Great job.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] 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.

2FunJags.:)
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] ExcuseTheN00b:
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!
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] kkeith:
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!
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] exadeci:
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
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
Thanks, ill try something to make the mod systemwide.

--->
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
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.

[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
DELETED

still getting systemui crash
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] v2.2v:
Easiest way to go back to stock?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
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

-->
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] 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.

--->
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] 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?

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

[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] men+at+work:
Shouldn't be long, Chainfire is pretty active in the Pixel root thread and seems to be making some headway.

Works perfectly now, and no echo in game. Thank you
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] holla420:
Which one of these are good in the download or either one is good?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] nycdiplomat:
I still had the echo after flashing v7 but I'm chalking it up to my system being dirty since no one else has been having the issue.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
Yeah make sure you run that removal zip first
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] nycdiplomat:
Yea I did. Ran it twice as matter of fact. I think it's my setup.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] ravi_gandhi:
Error messages when executing

firstly thanks for ur work, im looking forward to make this work with my phone

The problem i have however is that i keep getting error when running the script which says "no such file or directory"

I have busybox instead and su sr3 with selinux to permissive and also tried restarting my phone and running removal script BUT the removal script gives me the Same error message
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
That means you aren't using"root browser" or you haven't stored the zip in the correct directory

Read the steps again and follow them exactly
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] boober78:
I have an issue. I I stalled the mod. I used Viperfx before, although a different version. I am on ElementalX kernel. I see both, dolby atmos and Viper apps. All is working. However I hear extremely annoying buzzing noise in the headphones each time any sound is played. I tried uninstalling the mod y running the script, but all I ended up with was removing g the apps, the effect is still there. Any idea what should I do?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
If you ran the script to remove everything. Then the mod is gone. You have other problems. I can only suggest wiping and starting again
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] john7760:
I'm new to the Pixel XL, is this a simple flash in recovery? Looked but not sure on install instructions. Thanks
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] cntryby429:
No, it is not flashable in recovery. You must follow the install instructions in the op and follow them "to a t"
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
This mod was made before there was any custom recovery. It's a hacked method to get mods onto your phone. Follow the op instructions or install the WETA rom in twrp
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jerreth:
in root explorer i do not see the tick box for execute as root am i missing something my device is rooted.

edit: im in ID10T i found that it says Root Browser not Root Explorer lol thanks guys
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] docluv01:
Forgive me, I installed this mod, but tryiung to figure out how to increase speaker phone, and the eair piece volume.

How do you setup the Viper app?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] john7760:
Great mod!! Many thanks coming from the N6P using Arise I was missing these apps. Now I have great sound again.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] john7760:
I use Dolby Atmos to boost volume. Go in the app and turn on>choose music and bump up the sliders on each of the EQ bars a bit until you find the desired volume increase you like. Don't go crazy it can push quite a bit lol.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
WETA 1.0.2v

Finally home, and have updated the V version to have boot slot options. Will make a few more fixes over the week. I have also successfully made a flashable version of the Leaked ota update though systemui mods arent working so have to fix that up first.

My homie showed me your sound mod I love it keep up the good sounds:good:
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] callif:
Works well for me. Directions are fine. Actually, I couldn't believe how fast the script executed. Well done.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] s1dest3pnate:
Can a specific description of how this mod affects sound be added to the OP, along with some opinions? What all does it affect (sound across all areas including calls, speaker phone, etc)? Is volume different when not using speaker phone? What bugs are there specifically? In your opinion, does this mod make sound/volume better overall on this phone than stock? etc
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
More bass headroom

Bigger soundstage

Crystal highs.

All this is dampable or boostable with V4a and Dolby.

Drivers are loaded systemwide, it doesn't boost volume really at all. Unless you want to boost volume through v4a

This mod was a band aid while twrp wasnt around. I'm not really into updating anything.

[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] kaosb0x:
what are the file permissions im supposed to give weta-flash.sh ? ive looked at every page in here and I did this a while back but I had to update firmware (the original way) now I cant seem to find the post that had the file permissions I was supposed to set, this works really great but I cant seem to find the right permissions, it's very unclear if it is somewhere, please help as Viper = elite :D, great job on the mods man lovin em
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
Well, if it needed permissions set then i would have stated it, and because you can't find any info on permissions means you don't need to set permissions. If you are following the instructions correctly then everything should work. The most common mistake people make is not using the correct root browser app. Follow the link to download it
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jedsada18:

[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:

Should I run weta audio removal script before run weta audio mod?

This is good to know. This mod is to sick. Been on it for awhile now.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] msarnowski:
Ok so I have full functioning V4A when using my bluetooth headphones, however when I use my regular aux corded headphones or play through the phone speaker I have no functioning V4A. I have all the correct profiles enabled and even locking the effects profile to bluetooth does nothing. The equalizer in dolby atmos doesn't move when sound is played through aux headphones or phone speaker and also the driver status says it is not processing as well.

I'm at a loss. I'm not a new user of V4A but maybe I'm missing somehting? Please help!

great job man

great job man
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] msarnowski:
Quick update I've noticed that Viper works on the phone speaker when my alarm goes off, but does not work for other music sources (soundcloud, youtube, music player). All these other sources work with my bluetooth. Still no clue why this is happening..
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] msarnowski:
Flashed stock nmf26o, rerooted and twrp, and reinstalled the script. I'm still having the same issues as described above. No matter what profile I use I can only have viper enabled for headphones and speaker with system generated sounds (alarms, message notifications). Apps like soundcloud and youtube are not working with viper unless I play them through bluetooth headphones.

Anyone?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
You could just flash the ROM.

ðŸŽ¸ --->
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] msarnowski:
I guess I'll try that but I don't exactly understand the flashing nmf26o vendor.img in the instructions. If I'm already on O firmware with twrp and root can I just go in and flash the weta rom like we normally would?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
Yeah if you are stock. Just flash over it, flashing vendor is just an extra safety measure which I recommend in your case. Fyi flashing vendor should happen before the ROM, and can be done in twrp. Just have the IMG file on device.

Thanks for the update. I am now getting force closed with Sony Music, I previously had the latest apk installed prior to the aroma install, I am not sure if this was a conflict or not, I have tried uninstalling music and installing the one I had that was working prior, but same effect.

Edit - uninstalled the music app, re-installed my previous 9.3.3.A.1.0 apk, rebooted phone now all good. Maybe a second reboot may have also worked with your music app preinstalled

PPS Thanks so much for the reboot app, that is awesome
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Punkid:
Is there a way to install ONLY Viper ?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
No. Not at this stage. Are you wanting only to remove Dolby Atmos? Or all the audio drivers also?

--->
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Punkid:
I haven't installed anything yet. But i want only Viper, not Dolby Atmos. I recently got the pixel and dont want to modify the system too much.

Previously i had Nexus 5 and i was using Viper without any problems. Once it tried a sound mod which had both dolby atmos and viper and it turned out to be horrible for my needs. That's why im afraid of trying this out. I wish there was a way to get only V4a
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
OK. Well the behind the scenes audio drivers really add some much needed shape to the dull stock sound. I can start by adding an option to remove Dolby Atmos, but in reality you could get the same result from deleting the 2 Ax apks in system/app. That's if you wanted to test it out. There is an option in aroma to remove all mods also, to get you back to stock.

--->
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Punkid:
Does the AROMA installer work fine on the Pixel? Since it has multiple partitions and all.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:

Thanks for making this mod!

I installed TWRP today just for this mod. Unfortunately I can't get it to actually install the apps. I went to "Mount" in twrp to check System (and uncheck the box "mount system as read-only").

I then go through the aroma installer, choose the top install option, and in add-ons I choose the convolvers, and click install. It goes through the install and says it completed successfully, but nothing gets installed. It does create a folder in /sdcard/ called ViPER4Android and puts a bunch of files in Kernel and Profile folders. But I can't seem to find any installed apps :(

I'm sure I'm making a stupid mistake, but i can't figure out what it is :\ anybody have any ideas?

I tried flashing back to stock recovery and then flashing twrp again, but had the same results.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mentalmuso:
There is a new method to mount system in this mod. So it may be not working properly. But also.. you don't need to manually mount system or anything.. just go to flash the zip. Also which TWRP are you using , rc1 is problematic
