I personally use Bluebuds X from jaybird.

A little pricy, but they are intended for JUST that....SWEAT. Sound is very good and do block out a decent amount of sound externally. You could use the smaller rubber inserts if u want some outside sound.

They actually warranty them VERY well. They say 1 yr, but if u buy direct from them (look around ull find all kinds of coupons), they are pretty good for offering a replacement well after the 1yr, provided the issue is a direct result of perspiration.

I have tried several others, and either they sound like crap, or dont react well to seat.

hope this helps

WETA 1.1 beta

Based off NPF26J

includes double tap to wake etc

No status bar mods at this stage - process broken

Navbar height included

Be sure to flash the new vendor.img BEFORE the rom!

Another thing.. the OTA originally was intended for the V version of firmwares. I'm not sure if any issues will arise from flashing this over an installation of an X firmware. I doubt it but you never know. If you need to flash radio or kernel then use the V imgs. vendor.img is special to the J firmware so you need to flash it.

FYI, I know this is the XL thread but if you need testing for non-XL Pixel going forward, I'm your man. Thanks again for all your hard work, mentalmuso!

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
Yeah I can't really see a method for getting the pixel sorted for this update. I may have to have the device in hand to extract the images I need... Well actually... If you were to flash back to stock V firmware, and apply the NPF26J OTA, root, and install a terminal emulator then I could give you the commands to dump the system.img and vendor.img which is what I'd need.. you keen?

? --->
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bbender716:
Sure thing. I'll get home later tonight and get at it. Just to confirm, reflash stock everything, then what's the best way to sideload the OTA? PM me the terminal emulator scripts and I can figure out how to get them to you.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
If you are on stock V, you boot into stock recovery, adb sideload the OTA.zip.

Actually, you don't need to wipe or anything. You just need the stock V system and vendor flashed. Then flash the OTA with sideload

Ã°Å¸Å½Â¸ --->
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bbender716:
Cool. When I flash system and vendor I have to specify each slot right?

Ex:

fastboot flash system_a system.img

fastboot flash system_b system.img
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
Na just check the slot your on in bootloader and take note of it. Then fastboot flash system system.img

I'll need to know which slot you're using

? --->
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
After that... Once your all set up, you can go into terminal emulator, type su and press enter... Grant SuperSU access..

Then type the following

If using boot slot a -

dd if=/dev/block/sda33 of=/sdcard/weta_system.img

If using slot B -

dd if=/dev/block/sda34 of=/sdcard/weta_system.img

? --->
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
And for the vendor img.

Slot A

dd if=/dev/block/sda31 of=/sdcard/weta_vendor.img

Slot B

dd if=/dev/block/sda32 of=/sdcard/weta_vendor.img

Thanks. Upload them somewhere and I'll play with it tomorow

Hi,

So I have I stalled the version 1.1. I think double tap to wake the lock screen is not working. The other feature to lift the phone to wake the screen is working though. Is it only me ?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
Na it's not working for me either. Does it actually work on the manually flashed OTA? Does anyone know?

Thanks for building this !
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] le0.br4zuc4:
Double tap to wake is working for me but I'm not sure if it is because I'm running a custom kernel. I am truly loving lift to wake.. loving this phone even more now
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Trijunction:
Which kernel you are using ? I am not an expert in kernels etc and just want to know ..so why is a custom kernel better on this phone when the default is very smooth ,fast and giving good battery life

WETA firmware versions

So... i have a small update uploading but i am kinda over having to upload two different versions. And i myself see no difference in the firmwares V and X. Are all of you who are using X just on it purely because it has the younger build date? or because its what came with your phone? Give me a good reason to keep uploading two versions or i may cut it back to basing off the unlocked version firmware..

If there are no other beneficial differences with X than V specifically for Verizon users. I don't care. But I was sure Bluetooth improved from V to X, but I could be wrong.

...also, I've been itching to ask the question... Has anyone been brave enough to try Substratum?

Are you referring to 1.0.3? I flashed it and the host file doesn't contain any ad blocking. I haven't been able to get the host file to stick after running adaway then flashing kernel back to FK to pass safetynet.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
I haven't publicly posted 1.0.3 yet, but regardless adblocking is working great for me. It's just a replacement of the hosts file so not sure why it wouldn't work for you. If you open your hosts file what does it say?

I'm having an issue with 1.1 where as soon as the device first boots, I get "Android.process.acore keeps stopping". This makes the phone and contacts app crash instantly and I can't make calls. It never stops unless I freeze contacts storage, which disables contacts and messes up the phone and messaging app. I have googled the issue and no solution works other than freezing contact storage

32 GB Unlocked bootloader from Verizon. Wiped everything multiple times including internal storage. Went from X to J then V to J, tried just factory resetting and wiping everything, same result every time.

Can you add substratum support? Thanks for your work
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
Have you updated everything in the play store? Also the OTA was intended for the V firmware so Verizon may just have an issue with it. I wouldn't know why though. Go back to 1.0.2 for now. December updates aren't far away

Edit... You flashed the vendor IMG right? Also you may need the radio from V

[MENTION=4553200]Mentalmuso[/MENTION] Are there plans to add long press volume to skip tracks?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
It's never been a possibility with the way I'm making these Roms. To add a feature like that or say the advanced reboot, you'd need to build from source. I like building from stock images because they are always the most stable.

Same goes with oms and substratum. To get oms integrated it needs to be done at a source build level. Something I abandoned a year ago as the time involved with building from source can be a bit much. And then there is the HDD space on my laptop.

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] oryanh:
It apparently does, unofficially.

SwiftDark and SwiftBlack both work fully. Mono is hit and miss. Navbar and Headers work. Trying to get kkieths Mono settings and SystemUI as shown in his screenshots to work. No luck so far. :(

kkeith: are you currently using Mono "System UI" or "Android System" applied? If so, did you choose, Mono Grey, Rounded, Apps primary color settings etc.?

If I apply any of these individually, I get stuck @ boot.

thanks for your help.

Added Walkman Music Player

Added V4A convolvers and profiles

Added Adblocking hosts file

Added Tethering hack (may work)

Added 1 Verizon apk to debloat

[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ker~Man:
Yeah, they don't play well together. A few options: Purchase 3MINIT Pro from Play store, OR install Adaway 3.2 or greater and control the ad blocker that way (my choice), OR don't select both options from the Aroma installer (probably not the best option.)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Mentalmuso:
Yeah what [MENTION=3129945]Ker~Man[/MENTION] said. Though it'd be pretty simple to make a script to swap hosts file out. And once you have 3minit set up the way u like it, then you can flash hosts. Though I think AdAway is open source? So I could essentially just include that option in aroma as well

Edit.. though weta reboot app is set up well to run scripts. I may utilize that to turn it on and off with an extra toggle

ðŸŽ¸ --->
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Ker~Man:

Post #3

Ive started adding some things to Post #3, these are going to be general fixes for things along the way. Some things are hard to pin down such as V4A driver issues. Those driver issues are not rom related, but are a quirk of V4A. I will say, people have more success with V4A 2.3.4.0, and people like the sound of the older drivers (including me). Hopefully newcomers will read this post...

For those like myself that want to be able to use hotspot I found a working solution:

Step 1

Download this hacked apk here:

http://downloadmirror.co/Usp/CarrierEntitlement.apk

Step 2

Your going to want to paste this inside /system_root/system/priv-app/CarrierEntitlement and replace the one already there.

Step 3

Change the permissions on the hacked apk to match the ones on the original (so it functions the same way)

I have attached a screenshot from Root Explorer as to what the correct permissions settings looks like.

Step 4

Reboot and profit.

I would suggest to the creator of this rom "baking" this method into future builds so it does not have to be repeated for every update as with this process it would need to be done after each flash. However adding this hacked apk into the rom as built would save the extra steps. I wouldn't mind as long as I receive credit :P

Just want to help make a great ROM even GREATER!!!
