How To Enable Google Call Screening On Any Android Phone

Named Call Screening, your call will be in the hands of Google Assistant who would start the conversation on your behalf, asking important questions like who is calling and, why. You don’t even have to touch your device during the entire process. What is even more interesting is the fact that you would be getting live transcripts of the entire conversation between the Assitant and the caller at the other end.

And if you think that the call is worth picking up, then you could take over the authority from Assistant into your own hands. However, this feature is Pixel exclusive and bound to Google Phone. While it is still somewhat possible to sideload the Dialer app onto your device, what about the other requirement- a Pixel device? Well, if your device is rooted, then you shouldn’t worry. Today we will be sharing a couple of handy workarounds to change your device’s fingerprint ID to that of Pixel 4 or Pixel 5. This in turn will make your device into believing that it is a Pixel handset and hence you could then easily enable the required feature. So without further ado, let’s start off with the guide to enable the Google Call Screening feature on any Android device.

Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps.

METHOD 1: Using Google Dialer Mod [NEW]

METHOD 2: By Spoofing the Fingerprint[OLD]

STEP 1: Install the Required Magisk Modules

Now here comes the important point that deserves your attention. If your device comes pre-installed with the Google Dialer App (or the Phones App), then you would only have to download a couple of modules. On the other hand, if your device didn’t come with stock Google Dialer, then you would have to download a couple of additional apps as well. All this has been mentioned below, refer to the section corresponding to your requirements.

For Devices Shipped with Google Dialer/Phone App

Some devices, including the one from OnePlus and Android One devices, come preinstalled with the Google Phone app. So for those set of devices, you only need these two modules:

So launch the Magisk App, tap on the module’s icon situated at the bottom right, search for both these modules, download and install them onto your devices. Once both the modules have been installed, restart your device so that they become active. Then directly head over to STEP 2 and leave the rest written in this section.

For Devices without Google Phone/Dialer App

If your device doesn’t come pre-installed with the Google Dialer app, then you would need a few additional modules to enable the Google Call Screening feature on any Android device. They have been listed below, alongside their usage instructions:

BusyBox for Android NDK- Will give us the required busybox binary corresponding to the device’s architecture.MagiskHide Props Config- For changing your device’s fingerprint to that of Pixel 4/5.Terminal Emulator (Play Store)- it will be used to run the MagiskHide Props Config. Props Config is a command-based module without any front-end UI as such. So we would need a Terminal app to carry out its functionality. As for this guide, I am going ahead with the Termux app.Google Dialer Framework: it is needed to install the Google Phone app from Play Store. So flash this module, clear Play Store Data/Cache, and then install the Google Phone App from Play Store. Then set it as the default phone app. You should also consider disabling the stock phone app to avoid any conflicts. App Systemizer Module: It is needed to convert Google Dialer Framework to a system app. So download and install it onto your device (along with the other modules mentioned above) via the Magisk App.

Once all the modules (BusyBox, MagiskHide, Google Dialer Framework, and App Systemizer as well as Termux from Play Store) have been installed, proceed with the below steps to convert the Google Phone app to a system app via the App Systemizer module.

STEP 2: Change Device Fingerprint to Pixel 4/5
