For my own use and experience, i created a Modded LOLLIPOP 5.1.1 ALL IN ONE (4G-LTE) - Odexed, Pre-Rooted 2.46, TWRP Recovery 2.8.21 with pre-installed Xposed, that I share with you.
Requirements: Z3 Compact (any), Root & Recovery on KitKat or Lollipop (Odexed or Deoxed).​
Using PRFCreator, starting from the firmware D5803_23.4.A.1.232_CE1, creating a flashable.zip with SuperSU 2.46, XDualrecovery 2.8.21 and Xposed framework V74-22 -arm.
Note: selected -Kernel,-FOTAKernel,-Modem,-LTALabel,-sign zip. (see image example)​
Download ALL IN ONE LTE ..HERE.. Put the file on memory of device, power off device and restart in recovery (Power and Vol up (PhilZ) / down (TWRP), flash file, do a wipe cache & dalwik and reboot. If you want 4G version is HERE also with xposed update to version v75-22​
Some notes and tips:
Of course, if you select the file with Xposed preinstalled (ALL IN ONE), you will need to install from Android XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha4.apk, open it and select soft reboot. After restarting install modules Xposed.
If you want to completely uninstall Xposed, flash always from the recovery this file xposed_unistall_arm
I use at the time, these xposed modules: GravityBox [LP], Lolistat, APM+, Xperia™ Xposed (LP), Blurred System UI
Regarding difference between 4G - LTE version: 4G icon: Baltic, Greece, Israel, Netherlands, Nordic, Russia, Ukraine, United Kingdom. LTE icon: CE1 (Central Europe), GEL (Latin America), Germany, Italy, Turkey, USA
After flash you see in drawer the utility NDRUtils [root]
If you happen after flash no longer see SU, do not worry there is the Root, install only the apk SuperSU and you will get back on the app drawer
If you have problems writing to the SD Card using this app NetFix
If you have a FW LP with Root and you do not have write permissions in system R/W, download this file, which enables RICDefeat on the device and allows R/W on the system partition. Extract the file and launch install.bat.
If there is an update, simply flash file from recovery. While i come out of the updates for the recovery (or Xposed in future), just do the update of single app
Some others tweaks for the MOD
Some themes for LolliPop 1 2 3 4 5 6 e BootAnimation Z5 (new)
I dont debloat the MOD, because many have Mods debloat but then some apps not working correctly linked to other uninstalled. Then I would recommend you the possibility of hibernation (for example with Titanium Backup), because it allows the blocking of all activities related to that specific app, avoiding the problems of constant use of RAM or even use the app System app remover pro, with which it is you can uninstall or freeze pre-installed applications on the phone, in a rather simple and safe ... HERE a list of apps that you can try to hibernate in your choice

Thank you for your work

Hi,
I am on LP 23.1.A.0.690 Locked Bootloader with root and XDualRecovery 2.8.14.
Can I flash your room on recovery and keep my data and apps (no wipe data partition)?

Thanks for this great ROM. Installed on my D5803 here in US.
Question for anyone.. What is this new globe icon which stays on top left and says "mobile days is enabled"
It looks like small world icon.. How can I hide it?

Thanks ... it's just an icon that appears when you restart the phone, informing you that the data connection is active, to remove it just lower the low status and select delete

Ha. Thanks. That worked perfectly. This ROM really is great. Has everything I need.

Great!
Didn't want to upgrade from .690 to .726 'till I saw your FW. Works great!
I also followed your instructions on working xposed, but got bootloops again.

Thank but its very strange, I personally tested the procedure and other users.
Repeat if you have a busybox installer APP, remove it, without uninstalling busybox itself, then reinstall XZDR 2.84 from PC, reboot and from recovery flash xposed-sonyfix-v2.3.zip. Reboot again and finally install xposed.
Otherwise if you dont have busybox installed, simply go in recovery and install xposed-sonyfix-v2.3.zip. Reboot again and finally install xposed.

Hi, on my clean install I'm having issues playing embedded videos such as in the Facebook app. Anyone else seeing this? It's very strange.

Phone is very good and cheap. I've been using it for a while. So far no luck rooting or modifying it.
Any helo would be apreciated.
THX
If anyone would like to know, I've managed to root the phone using following "n00b" steps:
1. Step
- download, install and run SuperOneClick v2.3.3.
- make sure you have USB debugging mode on
- plug in USB cable and click root.
- the program will ask you to install drivers.
- install them even if they are not signatured by Microsoft.
- after you installed all the drivers, restart computer
2. Step
- download and install this http://www.4shared.com/dir/RR8GM4vj/_online.html
- run runme.bat
- choose 1) Normal
- follow the instructions
- make sure you hit restore button on your device when prompted
- phone will reboot twice, don't worry
Enjoy your rooted device!!!

Just a quick update
I'll put my ClockWork Mod builds for PAP4300 and PAP4040 to my server. Can't post any links here yet, so be sure to check the link from t830mc's previous post.
For now, only 2 quick builds made using kitchen plugin for mt6575 are available.
This is all pre-alpha, not mounting anything properly, so it's pretty much useless for end users.
However, adb works fine for me (tested only on PAP4040), so I can mount and do what's needed.
I'm testing things for model 4040 myself, but can't test for model 4300 because I don't have that device, so be sure to let us all know if it works or not.
1.0.09 update
could someone upload update 1.0.09 ? i currently have version 1.0.08 and OTA offers me 1.0.10, but it tells that update.zip is invalid when i try to update, so i guess i need to update 1.0.09 first
Hello, can someone please refute the fact that this phone does not work on applications that use google maps: Meteor, Everytrail, TripJournal, Geocaching (official), etc.?
Support Prestigio me referring to the producers of these programs.
One of the programmers wrote me that the problem is in the poor implementation of Android, which must be repaired by Prestigio.
So a vicious circle and I do not work on this phone programs that use Google Maps. One user malfunction layers above the map also confirmed.

Another problem:
How to install "Google Play services" com.google.android.gms (for example, needed to log on to YouTube or the functioning of the app My Tracks)?
Installation of "services" always ends up error message:
Incompatible with other applications that use the same shared Memberlist ID.
(The procedure described here did not help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1219029)
Thank you.
hmm I did not notice this issue before you get this issue when you will get latest update from play store . Now when i have a custom version of a rom and i have instaled youtube in /system/app, and i just removed update,
this is orginal youtube apk or not but it works fine
just clear data and uninstall current youtube.apk and install this one or push it to to system and DONT UPDATE IT
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/11070101/com.google.android.youtube-2.apk
also you may try older ver of my tracks and try if it works, Prestigio must do a fast update of this error but i think they are to busy with mk6577 and mk6575 will be left alone
Thank you, Youtube now works.
Still, I can not install "Google Play services" (com.google.android.gms) that are needed to run "My Tracks" (com.google.android.maps.mytracks).
Installation of "services" always ends up error message: Incompatible with other applications that use the same shared Memberlist ID.
In the file "/data/system/packages.xml" is nothing (com.google.android.gms) I could erase.
Thank you.
Can anybody test SDXC 64GB card on this phone?
Can anybody test SDXC 64GB card on this phone?
Prestigio claims that this phone suports SDHC and SDXC standards up to 32 GB.
But SDHC standard is up to 32GB and SDXC starts from 32GB up to 2 TB.
So my question is maybe they did not have 64 GB SDXC card to test

Another one, just in case
What are the chances of making this available for the i9305? I know the partition and radio are different. However, if the partition part was adapted and the radio was removed from ultima rom (i.e. old radio remains on device), would this be doable?
I hate how my i9300 constantly is at almost full ram, wanna get the 2GB version. But the Dev support is minimal (at best)
If someone bought me one I'd do one for sure, but I can't afford one.
And unused RAM is wasted. Android uses as much RAM as possible on purpose. If you had enough apps on the LTE phone it would also try to run as much RAM as possible.

AROMA crashes
I haven't been able to get through the installer without my phone crashing.
First time coming from another rom, I tried to install UltimaROM 5.1. I performed a wipe data/factory reset and install zip from internal sd. Pick ultra wipe, siyah kernel etc and on the last step I press "Next>" and the phone crashes. I pull out the battery and reboot system, and voila UltimaROM is installed.
Second time I want to install UltimaROM 6.0. Perform wipe data/factory reset, and at the bloatware removal screen I scroll down only to cause a crash once again. I repeat the battery removal process go into the installer again, and it crashes again when I untick the Samsung Apps option. Third time it gets stuck at the last step again, and after I unplug the battery for the last time I have v6 installed.
Why did I have to go through all this trouble. Was I doing something wrong?
Try this!

With my experience, DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING in Ultima Aroma installer.
So how can i install ULTIMA if i came frome another rom? It's simple, just wipe data / cache / dalvic in Recovery, otherwise use a wipe script such as "Revolution rom super wipe script" in Recovery.
Hope that can help. :fingers-crossed:
---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------
And i aldo stucked during the istallation, or stucked when i chose the app / mod / theme in aroma(quit often in V5),so be paitient, finally it will work.
(how to prevent that happen efficiently? i always make my self tick the checkboxes only once druing the installation )
Well I've updated to the latest AROMA installer version and I wipe all the time using the installer. I even have an AROMA installer just for wiping.
What version of CWM are you using?
A bit of help with the AOSP messaging again. I love the way it looks and don't really like Samsungs messaging app because the text is rather large and not as smooth looking.
I have went into Google contacts on the website and changed the number of a friend of mine it looks similar to this +14045555555 is this the correct formatting? I did it that way because one of my contacts was set up that way and her messages would go into a thread, but others that I changed would still just pop up as new threads. Is there anything else that is required of me after I change the numbers?

Ok for me it's like this:
+447123456789
+44 = country code
07123456789 = phone number
Just strip out the leading 0 and put it on the country code
I want to test both the S3 and Note2 cameras side by side but I don't like to try to decompile, change package name and then recompile the app. So is there another way to do it (since I assume that they have same package name)? Or can someone tell me which they prefer from their own experience.

Messages are now threading!!!! I had set my contacts up the way of the working one while I awaited your response and went ahead and reflashed and my messages are threading. Thank you!!!!!
Also, is there anyway to make the icons smaller? I guess change the resolution is what i'm asking.
EDIT: I figured it out, I figured that post in the other thread about DPI must have been something about that. So I googled and came up with how to change the DPI and changed it to 240 and it's perfect. I will definitely tell about your rom.
THANKS!
I have been using ur rom for ages now never changed, your rom is awesome man. However, I flashed the latest version (v6.0) and for some reason it does not allow me to view the caller id even though I have them in my contacts which is a big problem for me. Did i do something wrong or is this a known issue.

Hi!
First of all I gotta say thank you for an amazing rom. I've been using 5.1 for about a week and have'nt encounterd any bugs at all. However today I downloaded the 6.0 and experienced a few problems. While I was flashing 6.0 aroma launcher freezed at about 95% so I had to pull the battery and redo it again. 2nd time it worked. Everything in the rom seems to work just as weel as in 5.1 accept for the video player that FC everytime I try to watch a video clip. Tried rebooting etc. Does'nt help.
Anyways great job with the rom!

Yes, I've got a fix for that already. I'm just holding out to see if this contacts problem is a ROM issue or not. I'm thinking it isn't and must be something else but I want to make sure so I can fix all three in one patch. But there is a solution for it, don't worry

While there is another more complex script (by aicjofs, and which was offline when I originally needed it), this one is smaller and simpler. It is based on jmzrootpackage, and I had some inspiration from Victoria's video. I started this with the intention of only making things just a little bit smoother. I ended up adding more than I had originally intended. This installer contains information through each step to help guide you through the rooting process. Linux instructions can be found here.
NOTE: (Jan, 2015) There are newer versions of the Nabi on the market now, and I do not have any with which to test this script, only the original Nabi 2. As a result, it is unlikely that this will get any further updates. The newer models most likely will not work very well, or simply not work at all with this script. If you are capable and so inclined, I officially invite you to use this script in your own rooting project. Just give credit where credit is due.

1. Check For Proper Drivers
Use this option to check if your computer has the PdaNet drivers communicating with your Nabi2. This is a simple check for existing connectivity. Nothing will be changed. This will also display your Nabi 2 serial number.
2. Install PdaNet Driver
In order for this installer to properly interface with the Nabi 2, you must have the PdaNet driver installed on your computer. This option will start the PdaNet driver installation process for you. Requires Windows 8/7/Vista/XP (32 or 64 bit). If you already have the drivers installed, you can skip this step.
3. Install Recovery and Root
This will install the touch enabled TWRP recovery to the tablet, as well as copy over the rooting file. Use the TWRP install button to select the rooting file and apply.
4. Install Google Apps
After your Nabi 2 is rooted, use this option to install Google apps. After it is copied over, use the TWRP install button to select the Google apps file and apply. Reboot the Nabi 2 (parent mode) and then update the Google apps to the current version of Google Play.
5. Update TWRP
Here you can choose from two experimental versions of TWRP, or drop-in your own custom version. You are given the options of testing and installing. That way you can make sure it works with your Nabi 2 before you flash it.
6. Remove Wings
This option only applies to Nabi 2 system version 2.1+. With version 2.1, Fuhu filled up the /system partition. As a result, there is not enough room to add Google Apps to the Nabi 2. Removing Wings will free up nearly 105 MB, and will allow Google Apps to be installed. You have the option of removing the files with or without backing them up first.
9. Exit
As you might expect, this closes the program window.
Misc. Notes:
Tested with US edition; With other versions you mileage will vary...

Thanks so much for this. Starting my second one as soon as I post this. Sooo easy to use this - even for this noob. Now these are full blown tablets...
Does this method allow you to purchase and.or download apps from the Google Play store or is it just installing the Google Apps that have been known to work on the Nabi (sans purchasing apps from Play)?
Thanks
it worked!

i've used this method and worked like a charm, and yes now you have google play and can use it, instead the other crappy stores
Thanks for sharing this.
Any idea if this would work on the first nabi?
Also does this leave the parent / nabi mode intact?
This topic may be dead but I just ran this script for my niece's Nabi 2 to get some better games for her and everything worked except for the Gapps. Flashed 3 times using the script and once using the custom recovery(flashed Gapps.zip). Can someone please help?
I followed all the instructions.

I do not have access to the original Nabi, so I cannot confirm whether it will work or not. Most likely it would not work. As for the parent/nabi mode, YES. The process used in this script does not in any way delete or remove your data or Nabi 2 system information. It only adds ROOT and Google apps. Once you have root you could remove whatever you want.

This topic is not dead, I've just been unusually busy this year.
Have you tried wiping the cache/dalvik before flashing GApps? Please post back with some information about your Nabi 2. What is your Nabi kernal #? Have you verified that root is functioning correctly? Is there enough free space available on your Nabi 2 to allow installation of GApps? Is there anything else that you have attempted but did not list above?

Firstly thanks for the reply. Secondly the Nabi in question just received a update in the software and while I was under the impression that it was a nabi one the software clearly showed that the file was Nabi2 update. So with that being said, does this root installer still work on the latest update?

With the latest update (2.1), there seems to be some changes in the Nabi2 that prevent the Google apps from properly loading. Everything else seems to work fine (meaning your Nabi2 still gets rooted). There are some custom rom's in the wiki that include root and gapps.
I am looking into a fix regarding this. I have a possible work around, but it requires manually moving some files. Although, I have not tested it yet so it may not work.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant the "play store" that you said that you installed from the "everything nabi" website. I need the link to there, so that I can see what it is that you installed. If they have more than one version listed there, then I need to know which one you downloaded and installed.
You have Nabi2 Product version 2.1-release-keys
I noticed from your screenshot that the Nabi2 has a new entry: Edition NABI2-NV7A-US which does not exist yet on the one that I have here (which is much older).
Have you done anything to verify that you have properly functioning root on the Nabi2?
I remember that screen cover. A little window cleaner, and those white lines come right off. I actually used that as the screen protector for a while. Until I got an actual screen protector that fit the entire screen completely.
Simple answer is the system partition is full. Gapps and full 2.1.27 don't fit. Have to delete something to have gapps fit on /system. I discuss a bit of it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45866724&postcount=1647
That solve my problem, thanks a lot for you both !

A new Beta version (1.5.0) has been posted. It addresses the full partition issue with the Nabi2 v2.1+ update, and introduces updated *.zip files as the beta element. For those interested, please read the updates on the first post, test, and post back your experience with it.
More would have been included, but due to unrelated RL issues I had to save the rest for a future update.

Additional files and what-not's​For V1 or Stock. V2 already has it SD_Card_fix - This should fix the SD Card issue people are having. But if not, see Post #3
For V1 only SmartCard_fix - This will fix Smart Cards/Notifications in V1. Just flash it.
This SHOULD work for ANY ZV8 Rom. ZV8_Stock_init.d_Kernel - if you are stock, you may need busybox installed.
To see if it's working, in a rooted explorer, look in /data and see if it has "Test.log."
For any ZV8 stock based ROM. BarePop bootani Courtesy of @HPTesla
If you have issues installing it, see post below.

Bugs/Possible issues and fixes​
To remove the Sprint boot animation​If you want to remove the Sprint bootani. Or just be able to install a custom bootani. You will need to do this:
1. In a rooted explorer, go to /carrier/cust/poweron/ and delete those files so the folder is empty.
2. Then do the same with /carrier/cust/poweroff.
3. Go to /system/media and delete the "Sprint_bootanimation.zip". Make sure you leave the "bootanimation.zip" in there.
4. If you don't have anything in the /carrier/cust/ poweron/poweroff folders, don't worry.
If you use Flashtool, they will be there again. That's the only way to get Sprintbootanimation back.
Read this post also. ​ Cleanest install​
This will give you the cleanest install without using Flashtool.
Of note, if you do this, when finished, you'll need to reinstall the ROM. The apps in /data get wiped. So you will be missing some stuff.
Bugs/Possible issues:​1. This is gonna sound weird, but....sometimes it boots too fast and the lockscreen will freeze. Just give it a minute. All is well
2. The LG Keyboard, may not be able to be removed until it is updated by LG. It can't be moved to /data yet - Just be aware if you remove it.
Install, TWRP, Reception​I don't know if it's a TWRP thing or not. Here's what I've seen, but it is few and far between but does happen on occasion:
1. As was said earlier, if you need to wait longer than 5 min to get the setup screen, you'll need to pull the battery. Then you can try and flash it again dirty, or do all the wipes again and it'll flash. Really weird.
2. Rarely, but when making a backup in TWRP, it'll take forever. I just pulled the battery, rebooted to the ROM, and let it sit for a few minutes. Then the backup worked fine in TWRP.
3. Sometimes reception just wont work. So update profile/prl and if it still doesn't work, reboot and update them again. That will fix it. And I'm using the rpm,tz partitions.
I don't recommend pulling your battery while in recovery, but sometimes you just have too. Just be forewarned you may need to use Flashtool to fix it.
I've been using TWRP 2.8.3 I think is the version.
SD cards​SD cards are becoming an issue for some reason. If you've followed ALL the instructions in the OP, and are still having issues, you may need to wipe your ext SD. And sometimes Internal as well.
Some people are using an app from the Playstore to fix SD issues. SeLinux Changer, and set it to permissive.
Remove your ext SD and boot up.
If the problems are solved then you need to format your SD card in Windows or Linux as Fat32 no matter what size your card is. DO NOT USE TWRP to format Ext SD.
Root​If SuperSU has issues updating it's binaries, you may need to flash This when you flash the ROM.
GSM Use​Some people are able to use this ROM on GSM. YMMV and I can't/don't support this. HERE

Will toy with this after work. Was running ZV8 perfectly until I flashed Xposed without a backup and kept getting Circle Case force closes and went back to ZV6. Hopefully I can make this my daily though. Can't wait for G3 toolbox to return for the L.
Sweeet! You blow my mind. Thank you.
This looks like my new home for a while.. cant wait to get into work so I can play!!

You couldn't just re-flash zv8 on top of it to eliminate the changes xposed made to /system?

That's the one Team Codefire recommends with Bump. So I'll stay with it.
Thanks a lot for this Engine. Hopefully theming Zv8 will go easier than extracting/assembling it did. A quick question... I flash the zv8 partition zip right before Barepop, correct?
Thanks

Typically, no. Not with AOSP and stock based KK ROMs. I don't know off the top of my head if @engine95 had put a data wipe in his install script to make the craziness that is L work properly.
Also, that SuperSU question was directed at you
Does this ROM have anything done to it to alleviate the 5.0.1 stock ROM issue of massive memory leaks that cause apps to close quite aggressively in the background? My brother has 5.0 on the Sprint S5 and his issue is actually worse than mine.
Thanks for this engine95 and the rest of team Stooge ?
Tried running ##Update# in the dialer when phone shut off it would not turn back on. I removed the battery for a min and tried again it still wouldnt turn back on. After 5 mins with battery pull phone finally turned back on. I dont know if this was just something weired with my phone or could been caused by the rom. Either way just thought i would bring it to your attention. Im currently up and running again with no problems. Thanks engine for bringing us Lollipop :victory:

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 made for Music geeks like me, its main focus is stability and Audio. It is Based off latest firmware currently, and will always be using the most up to date firmware base.​

Zipaligned all apks
Different system install method
- No more need for 1.8gb of tmp space for install
*GoogleTTS will still crash on first boot on a clean install until you update all your google apps. Thats just the way it is. If you ask about this, i slappa yo face.
**Flash a fresh vendor.img BEFORE the rom. Just do it. If you don't, and you post about V4A or Dolby issues, i slappa yo face.
***Volume control issues are related to janky google tts updates. Not a rom issue
Flashing of vendor.img should be done BEFORE flashing the rom if you want all functionality! The WETA rom zip modifies files on the vendor partition. Meaning if you flash vendor after the rom, you will break WETA features.
Do not flash Gapps with this ROM!
Because this is based off of stock android, gapps are included.
See pot 2 for more info and FAQ

Wiping data, cache and dalvik is recommended.
Wipe Data if you are coming from another rom or version base, have crashes or other issues before reporting.

Welcome....
I just wanted to start by saying, we all know things are a little bit different with the setup of a pixel device. I think i have a handle of things though there is always a chance of death... i mean crash. Just please, always backup.
Also i am pointing scripts etc to partition slot system_a. Im still not exactly sure if you will come across problems when things update but i suppose we will see.
Now with regards to TWRP and Root. Please read up carefully on these two subjects as they are both pretty young at the moment. Flashing TWRP will be the first thing you need to do. After that, flashing a kernel as i am not including one at this point. Maybe later... If you have come from the same firmware then you wont need to flash a kernel, or vendor etc for that matter. Just boot into TWRP and flash the rom. If you wipe data, you will need to flash SuperSU SR4 after the rom, just to get the SuperSU app back into your app drawer. If you dont wipe data, then the SuperSU apk should still be there along with root binaries.
The zip is big, and will get smaller as time goes on. At this stage there is no real debloating, unpacking and repacking of the system.img hasnt been done yet, so the whole thing is in there at this stage. Also because this rom is based off of stock a stock google android prebuilt image, this means you dont need to flash Gapps. In fact dont, itll break things.
On a wiped data, first boot, i did notice Google TTS crashes though after the play store updates, this goes away. Also if other google apps are crashing because you're lazy and didn't wipe data. Then try uninstalling the apps updates in the play store and reinstalling.
EDIT - One more caveat, you are going to need an extra 1.7gb of free space just for the rom flash, this is on top of the actual size of the zip. I have had to have the system.img extract to a tmp folder before flashing, this gets wiped on boot, so you get that space back after reboot.
I think thats all....

Odds and Ends, Tricks to getting broken things working again
This is a very general post, and can possibly be used on other phones and roms.
My SystemUI keeps crashing, even after a fresh stock install...
If SystemUI is modified, and this modification causes a crash, this can damage the runtime data for systemui. This means that even though you flash a bone stock systemui, it may still crash on boot. Wiping all data fixes this, though that is a pain in the butt. All you need to do is go to, and delete /data/system/users/0/runtime_permissions.xml. You can do this in TWRP file manager. Reboot, job done. This will reset your wallpaper but who cares.
V4A keeps asking to install drivers, or V4A stops processing...
This is a constant issue people have, except for me...... what does this mean? it means i, as a rom dev, am constantly and consistently wiping data and sdcard for testing purposes. This tells me one thing i think is obvious, but of course i may be wrong, bad data will kill V4A. But i will say that flashing a stock vendor.img AFTER the rom will break V4A and Dolby (flash vendor.img before rom). SuperSU is crucial. If in doubt, flash the supersu zip again after rom install. V4A and Dolby both need selinux to be set to permissive. This is achieved with SuperSU and its boot scripts. Also Spotify will stop processing sometimes if a track plays through to the next by itself. (Skipping tracks isnt affected). This bug can be remedied by turning off gapless playback.

<--- Installation Instructions --->
This is a dynamic post, or in other words, it may change from build to build, when it does, i will inform users with the new ROM link post.
First off, this post is a little late, i should have done this earlier but it is what it is and its here now. At this time this is directly related from updating from WETA 1.0.5a (may work on others) to WETA 2.0.
- Boot Slots -
If you are new to the Pixel and are about to start flashing, there is something you need to realize. The Pixel devices have two sets of partitions to boot from. This allows seamless updating on googles part. Google it.. Anyway, in the ROM aroma menu you will notice options to select which boot slot to flash to, A or B. You need to flash to the correct slot, which would be the slot you are already booting into. You need to check this by booting into bootloader and it will be listed there. It states your boot slot in TWRP also when you select reboot. Though i would trust Bootloader more at these early stages.
Both methods below will work also if you are coming from stock. You just need to get yourself TWRP'd and Rooted.
Method #1 - No Wipe (dirty)
This method isn't usually recommended when jumping bases, but worked ok this time around. These are the steps i took that were successful for me.
I started out being on NDE63V WETA 1.0.5, TWRP, Rooted
1. Boot into bootloader and check what boot slot is active, take note of it.
2. Boot into TWRP
- dont do any wiping whatsoever.... the weta install automatically wipes dalvik and cache.
3. Flash NMF26O vendor.img using TWRP
4. Flash WETA 2.0 selecting the correct boot slot from step one in aroma.
5. Reboot system, this can take 5-6min as it rebuilds Dalvik
--->
Method #2 - Clean install (Wiped data) or (img flash only no wipe)
OK, so we are jumping from 7.1 to 7.1.1. There are going to obviously be some changes, thats why i was surprised that Method #1 actually works without issue.. Having said this, when using the method above (method #1) but wiping all your data instead.. This creates a problem with acore crashing constantly on boot. This led me to trying to understand the system apps a little better, and from what i can see, all the system apps are odexed but the odex files live on another partition that gets loaded up on first boot. With changes between the old and the new firmware and its apps there is a good chance the odex file from the old firmware doesnt play well with the updated apk. And the only way to get those odex files onto your device is to flash the firmware package. Regardless... if you want a clean install this time around, follow these steps
1. Backup everything, because you may lose everything, or you may not.
2. You are going to need the stock firmware package and a pc, (aosp download page)
3. You are going to need fastboot drivers, google how to install adb and fastboot. You should already have them if you own this or any nexus devices.
4. OK this is where you flash the whole firmware package. If you do it as is, you will wipe all data on your phone. This includes photos and music. So again backup if you care.
- NOTE, you can preserve all of your data by opening the flash-all.sh(linux) or flash-all.bat(windows) script in a note pad and deleting the (-w) in the line (fastboot -w update image-marlin-nmf26o.zip)
- the process goes like this, open a terminal, cd into the firmware folder, and run the flash-all script (sh flash-all.sh for linux) (double click the flash_all.bat file for windows)
- Now you have all the stock img's flashed to your device on the active boot slot
5. You can now start the rom install process, you are going to need to re flash TWRP and SuperSU.
6. Now all you have to do is Flash the WETA rom. Select the boot slot that you have active in bootloader. Check it first then flash to it.
7. Reboot system, boot may take 5-6min

I think you should add my Trumpimation to your ROM.

I dunno, I just spent two hours setting up my current 100% stock ROM, including adding some of his WETA mods to it.
I'm done flashing for the evening.
His mods work great though.

I forgot to copy some mods into a folder.... re uploading

My only question is about the kernel part. I am on the latest v verizon rom already, do I need to flash a kernel or just flash the rom then su?
Correction, I'm on the x verizon build.

I looked at the aosp images site today and it states that V isn't the Verizon one but in fact that X firmware is. It's pretty confusing. But regardless, if you are already on V, and you are already twrp and rooted, then you can literally just flash the ROM over the top. If you also don't wipe data, then you will keep the SuperSU app.
Edit.. all the firmwares seem to have all the apks needed for Verizon anyway.

x has pretty much the same everything besides a different radio...you will be fine without flashing any extra firmware bits
Dope bruh. Gonna give this a go after dinner.

Just flashed it and everything went good. I like the installer. Thanks sir!
It's telling me there's a system update. I just turned the auto system updates off in the developer options.

X is later than V. I wouldn't think it would want to go back to the V radios.
Thanks for the first flashable ROM!

Maybe I should take it lol.. It says it's only 18MB. I did wipe data cache and dalvik through twrp just so you know, before flashing.
I get an error saying there's an internal problem with your device contact your manufacturer for details when I reboot for some reason to but, I click ok and everything seems to be working? Verizon pushed their apps to my phone when it all booted up but I removed them and they were not there at first.
Either way I love it so.
Added screenshots in case you want to see what I am referring to. The LTE service kicks in fine just so you know, I see it captured no sim blah. I just captured the screen shot to fast is all.
Rev C
found another bug and squished it, V4A 2.3.4.0 wasnt installing properly when selected.

the internal error problem comes from a mismatch with vendor build.prop and system build.prop. This kinda indicates that you didnt flash vendor. Or if you did it didnt flash. Try that again.
