because there are less p2 users. has nothing to do with the p2xl vs p2.

dark mode works and new favorites tab work consistently on both devices.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] lssong99:
After several try then finally I got it working on stock rooted 2 XL with following combination:

1. Phone App: 24.0 (25 confirmed doesn't work. Also, you need to edit the xml file AFTER install 24.0. It doesn't work with 25's xml)

2. Google App: 8.33.6.21 (I cannot get it to work on other version.)

3. Google Play Service: 14.5.73 (Other version doesn't seem to work.)

4. System language: US-English (I tried Japanese but call screen option disappears. After I change back to US-English the call screen option just came back. US-English must be the 1st Language on settings)

Also, it seems dark mode doesn't work on Phone app 24.0, however it works on 25.

Hope this clarify all the confusions.

What settings do I need to change in order to get it working outside of the US?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] JagXK8:
I'm on Havoc with dark mode and call screen enabled. Doesn't seem to work when my phone is locked but works when not. I see the screen button but the assistant doesn't start speaking. Edit, i tried 2 times and it didn't work with the screen locked. 3rd time it worked.

Dialer 25

[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Yasharkhan:
Are you guys with call screening enabled in or outside US?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] munchy_cool:
I just posted a new build of havoc for walleye , try on that ;)

I did this exact setup and no luck here on Stock rooted Pixel 2 XL.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] arrrgh:
Note that the new Google app also pings location every time launcher is opened. Rolled back because of that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] shindiggity:

Me too on regular Pixel 2, no luck. Also tried the older Havoc and no joy either.

About to flash the latest Havoc and try that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] mysara saad:
Got it working with stock using the steps you mentioned

Thanks :highfive:

I just wanted to report that it working even with the Google play services being on 14.5.70
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] munchy_cool:
works on latest Havoc build for walleye.

how do i know ? well ;)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] brnhrd:
Can confirm, got it working on my stock Pixel 2 XL. Thank you!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] billhilt:
Me too stock rom rooted pixel2 xl but bold beast recorder won't work with this ☹️
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] davemcm2:
There has to be something else too then, as I've done it on both stock and havoc old and new and everything is enabled except call-screen.

Where exactly are you setting the system language to US English?

Might not be related, but 'Continued Conversation' on my Google Homes only works when my language is set to US English (which it is), but continued conversation isn't working on my Google Homes anymore either :confused:

Edit: Could someone with it working post their full dialer_phenotype_flags.xml?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ariac Konrel:
MIne kind of...activated itself.

I've been trying to get this working since this post was opened with no luck. Now it just...happened when I tried all this. I've been trying all sorts of methods.

I'm on the stock ROM; October update.

I was using my Pixel 3 Magisk Module spoofer.

What I did was uninstall the updates to:

Google app

Google Play services

Phone app

Clear ALL of the app data.

Then I updated them to the following versions:

Phone app: v24 (latest from apkmirror) (arm64 nodpi)

Google Play services: 14.3.69 (arm64 nodpi)

Google app: 8.39.6.21.arm64 (arm64 nodpi)

May or may not work for you, there's been a ton of trial and error here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] davemcm2:
Thanks for the info, but I'd rather not use the magisk pixel 3 spoofer module, it messes up portrait mode on the camera on my P2.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ariac Konrel:
I uninstalled the module to see if it would survive a reboot and it did.

That's still an option to try and get it working.

I just tested this on my Mother's Pixel 2 XL with basically the same setup and it worked again!

Also removed the module on this one for good.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] lssong99:
I suggest follow actions in order

1. Uninstall update of phone app (to factory default) then install 24

2. Run the phone app once

2. Force stop the phone app

3. Edit the phone app xml as OP described

2. Reboot (may not necessary..)

Let me know if this works.

Also you could try the magisk module spoof 2XL as 3XL. Search this forum (camera porting thread) and it might or might not help. Mine had this spoof.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] JagXK8:
Just did this on stock rooted pixel 2 xl and it worked. Didn't reboot. Wierd thing, i have the call screen option displayed. It's not working though on wifi. It only works when i disable wifi.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] hatdrc:
I did this as well and it worked. In settings I had the call screener listed but it said I needed wifi to start using it. I toggled off WiFi and back on again and it started to work.

I am on stock Pixel 2xl without the Magisk mod
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] JagXK8:
Does yours work when you receive a call with wifi enabled? Disregard. I see that mines works with wifi enabled if my phone is locked but not when my phone is unlocked.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] hatdrc:
Mine works both locked and unlocked on wifi
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] JagXK8:
I have gotten mine to work on wifi consistently if i disable wifi calling in the configure ims calling option. Go figure.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Chance Ill:
I can confirm these instructions work on both Pixel 2 & Pixel 2 XL with Pixel 3 module active including WiFi on or off
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] SageWilliams:
Delete
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Chance Ill:
It's not a complete uninstall, just a downgrade. Go to settings. In the search bar, type in google play services. Select it. In the top right corner, select the 3 dot menu and uninstall updates.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] WyldOne91:
Followed these steps with success on my Pixel 2XL running stock as well. Thank you thank you thank you!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] reawo:
Maybe someone is able to put all of this into a magisk module at some point... That would be amazing, still I hope this feature comes natively to all pixels
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] humdrum2009:
How are you fine folks enabling dark mode, on the phone dialer.

I have call screen working with no problem, but that bright white when I open the dialer drives me insane.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] billhilt:
I would like to add that I signed up for beta play services during the process outlined in the OP
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] JagXK8:
When will Google Call Screen be available?

Call Screen launched in October 2018, but only for Pixel 3 or Pixel 3XL owners. Google said it will come to the entire Pixel family - Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2, and Pixel 2 XL - in November 2018. If you don't see Call Screen in the Phone app's settings, it's not available yet.:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] hatdrc:
I have a feeling it will be released when they do the November security patch
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Misfit77:
So I started by uninstalling updates and reinstalling v24 like you suggested and that did it! I now have the call screen setting in the Google Dialer, thanks!

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

So am I the only one that doesn't have the text about the new favorites tab in my Dialer phenotype file? If I add it will it work or mess things up?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] JagXK8:
I don't see it either. I wonder if it's in v25
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] lssong99:
V24 doesn't seem to support new favorite nor dark mode. V25 doesn't support call screen (at least in 2 XL) but support new favorite and dark mode. You could have just either one currently....
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sivaiah:
does it work for Nexus 6p in india?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] tlxxxsracer:
Call screening works but doesn't on OnePlus 6 running pixel experience ROM. The option comes up to call screen, but caller doesn't hear the assistant yet transcriptions work. Hopefully this is a sign it'll be ported.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] ngshixuan:
Same here on OnePlus 5 cnp rom.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] coolsid8:
For those you are still on stock, and using app versions mentioned in OP and still not able to get it working, can you check permissions of Google Services Framework ? I think we have to manually enable phone permissions for the same. See if it works for anyone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] nicolasmart:

Works on the mix 2 with PE Extended 9.0 rom ,but only bug is we can't hear Google speaking to the user
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Harsh306:
Worked on Kenzo PE experience for first call only

Worked for first call on now it's isn't showing up during call, though just still have option in call setting of call screen in dailer app
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] coolsid8:
Are you on wifi hotspot by any chance?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] user557:
For me it's working with pixel 3 spoof module.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] ngshixuan:
Where do you get the pixel 3 spoof module? It would be helpful to send a link
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] nicolasmart:
During the call did you hear Google speaking to the other person or you just saw the text on the screen?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] hatdrc:
It's back on the 3rd page

---------- Post added at 02:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 PM ----------

All you see is text. You don't hear anything on your end. When they respond it shows on your screen
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] ngshixuan:
One thing the caller cannot hear anything when you use screen call even after flashing the pixel 3 spoof module.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] nicolasmart:
I hear what they say, for some reason. They don't hear Google but I hear what they say and yes, all the usual text is printed on screen but they don't hear absolutely anything.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Harsha Vardhan Ganiya:
Can some one guide me how to enable it , I followed the steps from article but didn't work , plz help
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] SageWilliams:
If your on Stock Pixel 2 XL Rom, post 63 worked for me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sticky Fin:
Yeah me too. I thought the person on the other end wouldn't be able to hear the Google assistant speaking. But turn out it was only me that can't her the Google speaking
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] John.C01:
mine says activating call screen but it has been there for a while. And the data for the phone app is 115MB already. Is it still downloading? Or this is the sign of it doesn't work?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] SageWilliams:
Try rebooting or toggling wifi off then back on.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] bulletbling:
I confirm this works on stock rooted Pixel 2 XL. I used Titanium Backup to remove the apps and then reinstalled these versions (Android wouldn't allow the install of two of these older version applications).
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] JazonX:
November Update is out.

Any Updates to the intial process possibly with less hassle?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] joeyddr:
I updated to november and now have call screening.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] JagXK8:
So they stuck to their word. Great.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gordietm:
Same here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] shindiggity:
Any updates to camera as far as Pixel 3 features in Nov?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] JagXK8:
What about dark mode. Update. Did a clean flash of Nov update and looks like you still have to edit the file to get call screen. It's still on v24.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] SageWilliams:
I dont have call screening on Nov update. Did those who do had any edits to your files? What phone version are you running?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] tesna:
I also do not have call screening on november update. I did edit the files but still does not shows up on phone settings. Phone 24.0.214850721 and google play services 14.5.75

Btw, I was on havoc and able to enable call screening by editing the files. decided to back to stock rom for now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] rodcpierce:
same here. Just flashed the November patch, have both the beta dialer and beta play services installed, edited the file and still dont get the call screening. All good, maybe next patch.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] candiesdoodle:
i get the call screening feature using phone v 25, and latest beta play services and google app

but the other party cant hear the assistant. tried changing the assistant language as well as the system language but nope!

i got a asus max pro m1
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] oriongranttt:
Same for me, does anybody know what causes this? I'm using an A1 and have the exact same thing.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Harsh306:
Yes
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] rodcpierce:
Alright, so went and found the v25 beta phone apk and now have the call screening feature. Ill have to wait until Im on wifi to get the call screening files and Ill check to make sure that it works.

*edit* OK, works perfect! Used an online VOIP to call the phone and you can hear the assistant perfectly. As well as delivering what is said back to the phone. Awesome!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] user557:
+1

Confirm that with v25 beta phone it works on stock November's.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Extra Virgin:
I installed a November update, the phone beta and play services. The call screening option works but the transcription does not.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jiggs82:
Lmao sorry couldn't help but laugh at your username
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Extra Virgin:
Yes love olive oil especially extra virgin. My grandparents have an olive oil business.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] JagXK8:
Call screen works on v24 if you get the updated version from apkmirror. That's what i had. The one that's installed by default doesn't work. I updated to v25 beta as dark mode doesn't work on v24.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] SageWilliams:
Finally got it to work on Nov update.

Phone - Google Phone 24.0.216196427 (arm-v7a) (nodpi) (Android 7.0+)

Google Play Services - Google Play services 14.5.75 (020400-220116089) beta (020400)

Google App - Google App 8.44.4.21 beta (arm64-v8a + arm-v7a) (nodpi) (Android 5.0+)

With all the needed phenotype changes needed still. No need for Pixel 3 spoof.

Works on a off WiFi, can see transcript fine and other line can here voice.

UPDATE - After getting it to work above, installed the following phone version to enable dark and favorites, call screen still there.

Google Phone 25.0.218361296 beta (arm64-v8a) (nodpi) (Android 7.0+)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] oriongranttt:
In regards to the caller not being able to hear google assistant, is this perhaps an audio file that is missing on the device? or does it synthesise the speech at that current time perhaps?

Is there anyway to package the phone apk with the changes so it an be achieved without root ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] tesna:
yep, after installing v25 apk from apkmirror the call screen immediately works on november stock rom! great find!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] lordsinasina:
This is with editing the xml file right ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] SageWilliams:
Correct
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] nomesrjp:
I'm using the latest phone v25.0.220310144 and these changes no longer function (as they did on the earlier v25 version). Anyone else experiencing this?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] shindiggity:
My beta just updated and I still have it in settings, haven't received a call yet though
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] SageWilliams:
Two things to try:

1 - My version 25 worked AFTER I made the changes in version 24, then updated to 25 and they stuck

2 - Make sure you are using the right version 25 from apk mirror - Google Phone 25.0.218361296 beta (arm64-v8a) (nodpi) (Android 7.0+)

See my post here for more details
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] shindiggity:
Beta just got an update in playstore
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] SageWilliams:
Just saw that, ran the update and call screen stuck just fine so updating will not break it. Try starting at 24 and update from there?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] nomesrjp:
Thanks guys. I'll give that a go, thank you!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] shindiggity:

if only there was a way to spoof the locale check without root as its officially available in P2XL now :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] lordsinasina:
Top shot is working on stock pixel 2 with the ported photos apk without root or any spoof required. I am wondering if same can be done for phone for screen call. Or if someone could package phone apk with the edits.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] balakamal:
Everything works for me except the other person who called me not able to hear assistant voice. Please help me to resolve it
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Yasharkhan:
How does it work for you? I tried the modded apk file too. But it isn't showing top shot for me. I am stock non root too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] lordsinasina:
You have to have motion photos enabled.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] JazonX:
For those who couldn't make it work by replacing the file, Try editing the file in the same place using a Text editor without moving it.

Worked for me. All latest available APK files.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] LeMoise:
Got it working on my OG Pixel XL. Rooted with Flash Kernel but the OS is Stock.

Google App Version: 8.33.6.21

Play Services Version: 14.5.73

Phone Dialer Version: 24.0.216196427 (tried on V25 and it didn't work. Had to uninstall, install this version and edit the XML again).

Just had a call come through and the option to screen the call came up, seems to work as intended. I agree though that the screening should be a bit more to the point so callers can quickly understand what they are listening to instead of assuming its Voice Mail or something.

Edit: Call Screening stopped working after the app auto updated back to V25 in the playstore. Had to downgrade, make the changes and turn off auto update.

I don't think that's the case. On reddit (r/essential), there are reports it's functioning on the latest beta without issue.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] nomesrjp:
I am using stock pie, Nov patch with phone version v25.0.218361296. It functions without issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] reawo:
Pixel 2xl, Nov patch, started with v24 enabled call screening, then updated trough play store to v25 and enabled dark mode. Both working without any issues.

One question though, can I use other languages than English at the moment, or is screen call able to understand anything besides English?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] oriongranttt:
I'm using a Mi A1 on pixel experience too and have the same issue.

I understand that It now works without any trickery at all on the Pixel 2 following the November update... I'm wondering what prompts it to work. :confused:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] oriongranttt:
To be honest, I though the same thing with my banking app but it still works fine with magisk hide. It never used to so I assume magisk has just gotten really good!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] PieOfJustice:
The latest Phone beta enabled it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] rodcpierce:
Ive also got two banking apps installed with majisk. Both still work just fine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] YTSec:
Am I the only one getting serious battery drain after using call screening on stock? I never noticed it on Pixel Dust (although I never checked). V24 (v25 doesn't work for me), Pixel XL with the Pixel 3 spoofing magisk module. I've been running this since Oct 18th too (https://twitter.com/BryceYTS/status/1052876583898243074?s=19), odd it's just starting now.
