Requirements To Install WETA Custom ROM With Viper 4 Android

Speaking from their personal experiences, several users recommend the WETA custom ROM to have completely resolved their Google Pixel audio problem. The ROM uses a modified version of Viper Audio Mod as an alternative of the stock audio kernel. For this to work, your device must be rooted and you must have TWRP installed on it.

Before Installing WETA Custom ROM With Viper 4 Android

First, download and install USB drivers for your Google Pixel on your computer. Remember that your device should be rooted. As mentioned above, you must also install TWRP recovery. Make sure as well that your Google Pixel has a battery charge of 70 percent or higher, according to Wccftech.

Installing WETA Custom ROM With Viper 4 Android

For this process to work, you need to have WETA custom firmware for Pixel, which is Sailfish and Marlin for Pixel XL. Link your Pixel to your PC using a USB cable and copy the downloaded WETA custom firmware to the SD card of your device. After that, disconnect your Google Pixel and switch it off. The next step is to boot your device into TWRP recovery mode then perform a data wipe operation. From the recovery menu, wipe the data and Dalvik cache. After that, choose Install and find the WETA zip file. Reboot your Google Pixel after finishing the installation process.

The overall process basically looks like installing the WETA Audio Mod with Viper4Android. But if you do not know what you are doing, this might be the safer way to go since it will hinder you to flash the whole ROM.
