Call Screen Feature in Phone App - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Many may like this new feature but I do not. It is too easy to hit the Sceen button by mistake when pulling phone out of pocket for example, subjecting your caller to the message and creating confusion.
Unfortunately, Google feels we should all have this with no choice and has provided no proper way of disabling it. (smells like IOS)
Changing phone language to UK English worked until new Phone app update today.
Reverting to original Phone app also works but then no dark mode and loss of other new features.
I have thought of going to a custom ROM but then wondered if that is even a solution as this is in the Phone.apk that I would be updating from Play Store anyway.
Can anyone please let me know if this is the case with custom ROMs - do you have Call Screen or not?
Any other way to disable this?
Thanks

Use another dialler app.

Thank you!

Found this site which has older versions of Google Phone APKs - used the version from March 23, now have dark mode and no Call Sceen.

3 Bad things to add....

Hi Developers,
maybe anyone have a Idea how can i solve my Bad Features on this Phone.
1) any chance to disable the bad loud Sound by enable the Device? It's bad to start Phone into Office and all others can here "hey we have a enabled HTC One X" :-S
2) any Chance to change the loudness from Ringtone & Message separately? Currently i can only modify both as one Step...Not so funny and helpfull....
3) the Screensaver have now a Ring (HTC-Standard). But i will use my secret Pattern to open and not both...Actially i have to play with the ring and after it my Pattern....BAD!
Thanks for Help about it.
Hi,
1) well first of all before you switch off your Hox make sure its silent or vibrate so that when you power it on next time no annoying boot sound will come out.
2)cant help with that try and find 3rd party apps from market im sure there will be one.
3) lockscreen and password are 2 different things... Meaning everyone can get past the lockscreen but only you can know the password.
Hope that helped
As for number 1. You could try Silent Boot from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hbnR3ZWIuc2lsZW50Ym9vdCJd
Don't know if it works on the HOX it hasn't been updated for a long time, but you could give it a try.

Update to Step2): tried anything without success.
1) simply cover the speaker on the back side with your finger or palm
2) some custom roms have the option to adjust volumes separately, some don't. I think CM9/CM10 had that option, someone correct me if I'm wrong cause I'm on MIUI now.
3) MIUI doesn't have that problem, when you enter the pattern it unlocks directly.
You can install a custom rom. My HOX is on official MIUI 2.8.31 and far far best than anything else I've tried.
Found out to disable BootSound
Hi,
i solved Problem 1 yet. So simple...Base: Device must be rootet.
Then navigate to .\system\customize\resource\ and rename the htc_boot.mp3 (example save as htc_boot.mp3.bak). It works!
Same way with custom Bootanmations! Simply rename the originals and have fun!
And now Problem 2 also solved: i downloaded a "Silence.mp3" (http://www.jetcityorange.com/silent-ringtone/silence-10sec.mp3) and save it in .\system\media\notifications as a original file (e.g. overwrite an existing with same name). Then choose it as Notificationsound; it works! Great!

[Mod][Fix]Lockscreen fix when accessibility option is enabled

Hi guys! Again here's another mod from me. This mod should fix the lockscreen issue when any apps requiring accessibility is enabled.
Just push the apk in
Code:
/system/app/
replacing the original one with this mod.
Sorry guys was not able to make a flashable zip my phone is the only device I have right now to access the internet(no computer) so would really appreciate it if someone can make a flashable zip for me
Update
Added flashable zip
Download here
And as always... Deodexed ROMs only. Don't flash in a pure stock odexed ROM it will break your lockscreen.

Great, was waiting for this one. thx.
Hi! Added flashable zip
Question....
May I ask what were the issues with the apps using open accessibility? I use Knock2+
and if I need the fix, which out of the two attachment do I need? Do I need to flash both of them? or just the second one as the file name suggested its purposes?
Just come across this thread from a post on the trickdroid forums...
This is great....just installed the zip on my HTC One and its seems to be working perfect at the moment....if theres any issues I'll post up after a days use...
It's made me a happy chappie tonight..:good:
Cheers

For instance, I have a pebble watch that requires the pebble app. The pebble app requires that you start the service for pebble in the accessibility settings. So an option at the top under services you have to turn on. As soon as you turn on one of the services there - as far as I know any service not just pebble - it will make the lockscreen broken. So from that point on just touching the lockscreen anywhere will unlock the device. You don't have to swipe up the lock or clock anymore. And you can't pull any of the app icons up to load into those. It just unlocks the device as soon as you touch the screen. The big problem with this is if the phone is ringing in your pocket. As you pull it out of your pocket and it rubs against your leg/pants, it will unlock/answer the call. Now occasionally I don't want to answer the phone. Its been a big problem.
Thanks to the OP for this fix. You are a life saver! Or at least a sanity saver.

I flashed the zip in the download link and now my phone won't go past the "starting apps" screen after boot and before lockscreen shows.
I even reflashed the rom (dirty) and it won't work. Can you make a flashable file which puts the original files back so I can adb push it on my One.
I am on Trickdroid 5.5.1. by the way.
Please Help.

I have replied to your PM. Please check your inbox
I can't reproduce your problem so please try wiping dalvik cache or deleting the folder /data/data/com.htc.idlescreen.base/
And if it still persists try doing a factory reset instead.
Doing a dirty install of the Trickdroid ROM should have restored the original lockscreen app so I'm pretty sure it's something to do with your dalvik-cache.
Just try wiping dalvik-cache for now it shouldn't delete anything so it's safe.
So I guess the fix can only be used if you're rooted and that sucks cause I am not

I was wondering if this mod would negate the option to disable exchange server security? I've flashed trickdroid and applied this mod, but now my exchange server is requiring a password/pin on unlock. I'd like to be able to disable this when I'm home in tasker and I have that setup, but now it doesn't work. I think it was this mod that removed that feature from TrickDroid. Do you know the answer?
@Riyal since installing this fix I have a problem with the proximity sensor while on a call. Sometimes the screen goes black as soon as the call connects and the screen doesn't come back on. Sometimes the screen doesn't turn off when I hold the phone to my face and sometimes it does turn off but won't turn on again.
Is this problem related to this fix? Is anyone else experiencing this?

Hi! I'm not sure about the exchange server mod as I am not using it. I'll take a look at the mod soon and see what was modified on it and see if it conflicts with my mod.
And by the way could you give me a tutorial/guide on how and where to get an exchange account to test? Pardon but I don't really use that feature at all.
Anyways I am using exchange activesync on my phone right now but only using live.com account. And I'm not sure if having a private exchange server is needed.

"Transform into" and Auto shape options in S-Note suddenly gone after 5.1.1 update

"Transform into" and Auto shape options in S-Note suddenly gone after 5.1.1 update
Hi, just updated my device to the latest 5.1.1 Android version,
and for some peculiar reason, some features in the S-Note app are suddenly gone,
such as the "transform into" option that was extremely useful to me.
Done some googling and saw that the app used to have an extension pack option,
though nothing like that exists now in the app.
Any sort of help would be much appreciated.

This cannot be. I just updated my device to the latest android version 5.1.1 as you did yourself. I am able to have every feature i used to in the previous android version including the "transform into". When you are taking note on top of the S note app there's a "bar" with features such as pencil, eraser etc. Have you tried to extend this bar. If so; you'll see there's the tranform into button along with some other features. Try it out, let me know what happend.

Hi, the bar was already extended, and the only options i can recall are the basic ones, such as the pencil, eraser, the cloud thing (to select things with it), and that's about it. no transform into button, and also not where it was located before, after you select something with the lasso, the option is completely gone..
Would you please take a screenshot of the app and show the option?
I am 200% sure i've checked everything.
Unfortunately I already burned the Kitkat rom on my device so I can use these features again..
but if i am mistaken, and indeed missed it, I will update again.

Look at the screenshot and:
(1) Select the area you want to transform using the "cloud thing" you mention above; which's happens to be the lasso.
(2)You should be able to see a new bar like the one in the screenshot.
(3)Now, choose the second option (quadrangle thing) and it will ask you what tranform you want to operate, for instance math formula, text, shape, shape + text etc.
Hope I helped ya at all!!! :laugh::fingers-crossed:
Hi, I have just the same problem - after the update, all these 'transform into' features are gone. I am very upset, because this features were very useful to me too.

I really don't know what to do in order to aid you. Did you check out the screenshot. Is it different compared to your S note enviroment? Have you tried contacting samsung about the issue? If not, then give it a shot.

Sorry,
It doesn't work that way. Take a look at this.
The displayed menu simply doesn't have the "Transform into" option. It only displays : Properties, Cut, Copy and delete. Nothing more.
Any ideas on the net?

Solution found
For anyone still interested I found a solution.
It seems that for some strange reason and for some lucky owners like me the Andorid 5.1.1 update can render the S Note not fully operational (transform into missing). So I used the Smart Tutor app from Samsung and the tech guy told me thar after checking everything he found that the only way to correct the issue was to return the tablet to its factory settings (i.e: reset the tablet) .
So there it is. You have to restore the tablet to its original 5.1.1 state. Before starting BE CAREFUL , you have to backup your data (via google account, via samsung account and even better via the samsung's Smart switch app that's you call). Otherwise the reset will wipe out/delete all personal data.
So after doing you backup watch this video to perform the reset: youtube.com/watch?v=NDp_9mfBS98. There are similar videos on youtube so again your call. The process is quick.
Once you reset the tablet and restore your data you will have to do some adjusments but you will not lose data (if previously backed up).
Everything went as suppossed and now I have the S Note app fully operational.

Note 20 Ultra Full Screen in Call Caller Id Pic Wanted

It has always been a preference of mine to have a full screen image when calling someone. Rewind back some years, I believe maybe the Hyperdrive ROMs time period and this was the norm. I believe it's similar to what appears on iPhone during a call. Basically the full screen background is the contact pic of the person you are talking with. There was a mod available on XDA for my Note 8 I believe which dropped off with an OS update to Android 9 or so. I never have understood why Samsung keeps the contact pic so small, even when the sizes of the phones increased. Now, with the latest Android 11 and Samsung UI 3.0 update, there is an option to make a pic or video the background when making calls. So while this is heading the right direction, it's still not exactly there.
Anyone in the themeing world have any insight into this, as far as the capability to provide a full screen in call caller ID image as the background?
I had something like this on my Note 9...would be nice to see it on the Note 20

I was told by a couple developers that it wasnt possible after the Note 8 got updated, and moving forward. At least based off of the old method that was floating around for the Note 8. I feel like its setup at this point based off of the ability to add an image or video to the call screen. Just need some experienced help!

I think they threw that in starting with 3.0. I just hate the small contact pic. While I was able to customize the background with a default pic, Id rather have the contact pic utilize the screen. Tiho5 posted a link for an app that seems to work great so far. Pretty much fully customizable!

Question Google Screen Call For OP9/9Pro

Hey there guys!
I just wanted to post this in case anybody out there wants to have Google Screen Call feature on their stock phone app.
It's pretty easy to be honest
Since the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro have the google phone apk built in, I had to look at a bunch of info to see how it could work but figured out that it's a lot easier than I thought.
Requirements needed:
-Rooted One Plus 9/ 9Pro
-Termux installed (Play Store)
- Busy Box module installed
-Magisk Hide Props module installed
-PrefEdit installed (Play Store)
1st Step:
Open Termux

2nd Step:
Type in "1" ( to edit device fingerprint)
Type "f" (to pick a certified fingerprint)
After that you are going to choose Google and type the number it corresponds to ( Mine was 7)
It will show you a bunch of phones.
Just find the Pixel 4 XL and type the number it corresponds to ( mine was 23)
In reality I don't think it matters which phone you use just make sure it was a pixel phone that has screen call built in.
It's going to be give you some options of which OS version you want
I chose android 11 just to be sure

(DON'T enable "8") I accidentally enabled it and screen call didn't work
once it says it's finished Type in "y"
then it will reboot
4th Step:
Once your phone has booted up
you need to go to settings then apps and clear phone data and cache
then find Google Play services and clear data and cache
After that open the phone app and go to settings to see if screen call feature is there
If it isn't showing up then you'll need to use PrefEdit
Close the phone app (if you haven't already)
Open PrefEdit and find Phone
It should show you like 5 files
Choose dialer
Once there tap on "dialer_phenotype_flags.xml"
then search for "speak"
Find this code line
G_speak_easy_bypass_locale_check
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
tap on it and change it from false to true

Now you're finished!!
Things to note once you go back to the phone app you'll need to be on Wifi to enable the feature.
If you have any questions just let me know and I'll help you out as best I can !
I will post ScreenShots of what to do if you need to see how yours should look like.
Outstanding guide ty!
Have this option already without any mods.
Very nice guide! Man, I'm super conflicted. I'd love to have the screen call feature, but I'm already using the OP dialer for call recording. No way to have the best of both worlds I guess.

I don't know. I have the EU Version and I am from Germany. This feature may already be officially available here in Germany. I have no other explanation for this.

I'm translating so I could be wrong but pretty sure that's "Caller-ID and Spam" which is the option you get when you don't have Call Screening. So you don't actually have Call Screening I believe.

I tried an older method that worked on my 7t and it's now working but it had to be done on an older google dialer ver 39.270.
It's not the fancy newer version but it works

Hey there guys!
I just wanted to post this in case anybody out there wants to have Google Screen Call feature on their stock phone app.
It's pretty easy to be honest
Since the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro have the google phone apk built in, I had to look at a bunch of info to see how it could work but figured out that it's a lot easier than I thought.
Requirements needed:
-Rooted One Plus 9/ 9Pro
-Termux installed (Play Store)
- Busy Box module installed
-Magisk Hide Props module installed
-PrefEdit installed (Play Store)
1st Step:
Open Termux
Type
Grant root permission
Then Type
If you have enable Device Simulation then skip 2nd step (If not then continue)
2nd Step:
Type in "1" ( to edit device fingerprint)
Type "f" (to pick a certified fingerprint)
After that you are going to choose Google and type the number it corresponds to ( Mine was 7)
It will show you a bunch of phones.
Just find the Pixel 4 XL and type the number it corresponds to ( mine was 23)

It's going to be give you some options of which OS version you want

Then it will ask you if you want to reboot
Type in "y" to finish the 2nd Step
3rd step:
Open Termux again and redo 1st step
once your on the page it should say "device Fingerprint (active)"
Type
The next page will show you a bunch of options that you can enable.
The ones you need to enable are-

Going to add to this, if it doesn't show up in your dialer settings, clear the cache from both your Phone app and from Google Play Services, then open the Phone app again, and wait a few minutes if you still don't see it. Once you do, toggle it and see if your basic phone functions are still working. Believe it or not, some people's microphones wouldn't work with this trick in effect.
And now a rant of sorts.
The problem with this process is that in doing such, you are tricking not only the Google Phone application into thinking you're running actual Pixel hardware, but everything else, too. So this opens a whole can of worms when it comes to things like software/OOS updates, kernels, Magisk modules, etc.
For example, Elemental Kernel refused to install on my OP 7T because it was identifying itself as a "Pixel 4a." And even then, while I did get call screening to work, briefly, having to revert the changes to update things, then redo the changes, and hope they stick again.... wasn't worth it for me to do all that. I just wish we could officially get their call screening technology on EVERY Google device. Or at least ones that can use the Google Dialer framework.
So be prepared for a lot of troubleshooting and frustration. You may have to ask yourself if this is worth it.
Ty so much for this. I finally had time to do it. But the weirdest thing happened it never showed the screen option or hold for me option. But like 9 hours later I used my phone and there it was setting up.
Is it possible to enable call recording with this method as well?
according to the link, call recording should be integrated in the dialer starting vom version v63:
OnePlus exploring adding automatic call recording support in India
OnePlus devices don't support automatic call recording, but this may change in future in India, at least according to a staff member.

So I've tried this a numerous amount of times with zero luck on firmware 11.2.4.4. does anyone have any ideas as to why it's not working for me?

Could you explain? Which part is failing? What isn't working? The call screen part? The dialer?
