Pixel Call Captions on LineageOS 18.1? - Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers

Before I flashed LOS to my Pixel 3a I was able to use Live Caption's call captions which is a Pixel exclusive feature. I now have LineageOS 18.1 with microG, Magisk, and EdXposed. It supported Live Caption out of the box which will caption media such as videos and music, but it does not support call captions (which tbf I expected since it's not the stock Pixel rom). Does anyone know if there's a way to bring back this feature? Or am I SOL without going back to stock?
Thanks!
PS: I'm fully deaf so I can't do phone calls unless I have captions. But I'm also a tinkerer and I love the freedom this software combination gives me

AirAudio on Pixel - what is Service S-off?

I have used the app AirAudio on several Android phones in the the past. I use it for sending system audio to AirPlay devices.
I now have a Pixel, 1st. gen. It’s rooted with Magisk and everything seems OK. When I install the app, it keeps asking for reboot. I see there’s a tip on turning S-OFF for HTC phones. The Pixel is built by HTC.. I have no idea what that is and I have tried to search, but I find nothing on S-OFF for the Pixel. Does the Pixel have the option to set service s-off?
Anyone else using AirAudio on the Pixel and give me some pointers on what to do?
Hey there,
AirAudio has been kicked by Google because they didn't like a link to a rooting-website inside the description anymore, written 7 years ago.
Its successor is called AirMusic and allows to stream some apps (eg. YouTube, YT Music, Deezer, PodcastAddict , radio.de, Plex and more, you have to try it out) without root on Android 10+.
On rooted devices, all audio can be transmitted.
To get around such issues like reboot required every time, please contact its developer for support.

Pixel Call Screening Now Works on Stock Moto Z3 Play

If any of you have read the recent headlines on XDA about how to enable RCS on the Google messages app, I recently did that as I'm on Cricket Wireless, (Unlocked Moto Z3 Play 64gb) which originally didn't support the chat features or RCS in the messages app, however after I followed the steps, it worked like a charm, however to my (pleasant) surprise, I looked in the Google dialer apps Settings today, and found the "Call Screening" option was now available... I thought it might be just a side effect of enabling RCS, so I had a few ppl call me, and to my surprise, Call Screening now FULLY works!
pretty cool
I don't see that option on mine ..
@bdizzle1686 please tell us how did you enable this feature ? Give us steps.

Actually, I didn't do any steps.. installed normal Google dialer from play store (beta version) , and it just works. Appeared in setting of phone app, chose voice, watched demo, and it works on every incoming call. Works on my new Moto G7 as well..
(Dropped and shattered the screen on my Z3 play for the THIRD TIME in 6 months)
The only thing that I've done that may have contributed to this working, is I've installed a few Google Pixel related apk's, (modded Pixel launcher, Pixel launcher Icons, all Pixel wallpaper ports, Pixel camera, Pixel Visual Core, Device Configuration - android.autoinstalls.config.google.nexus) etc.
As I stated before, this has now worked fully for me on both my Unlocked Moto Z³ Play, and my Unlocked Moto G7, both NOT rooted, NO magisk, NO unlocked bootloader, On cricket wireless as my carrier.. I'm thinking the Device Configuration apk (android.autoinstalls.config.google.nexus) is what may have helped in activating this on the Google Dialer BETA version..
Thanks.. ?
But this config APK didn't help in this pixel call screening...
Maybe it's somewhat restricted to US.

Yeah, that's definitely possible, as I live just about a half an hour drive north of Detroit, Michigan...
As you can see, like I originally said, I don't really think I did any specific steps to enable this, Google just started rolling the feature out to certain specific non-pixel devices...
Call screening just suddenly appeared and started working one day, on both my Z³ Play, and my G⁷...

Has anyone got the canadian covid alert app to work with LineageOS and microg?

Has anyone got the Canadian covid alert app to work with LineageOS and microg?
the latest build of micro g supports exposure alerts ( or whatever they are calling it so you don't think big brother is tracking you)
but i have been unable to get it to run at all on my s7 flat 930-w8.
if anyone has it working could you tell me what you did for it to go
( i have tried 16 and 17 LineageOS for microg and all i get is the coved alert app immediately closing, the development team could not care any less about lineageos and microg (https://github.com/cds-snc/covid-alert-app/issues?q=is:issue+is:open)microg appears to be working fine other wise)

On-device voice transcribe for other Android phones!

Hi,
I'm very annoyed that Google keeps some nice and useful features for their Pixel phones only. For example they announced back in March 2019 something called on-device voice transcription which is available for Gboard installed on Pixel phones only, by enabling that option called "Faster Voice Typing" in Gboard's settings, while Gboard installed on other phones don't have that setting!
I wish I can get a Pixel phone but they are not officially sold in my country and when I was lucky enough that one my US friends is coming to my country, I read about that screen gap issue which scared me and made me decide not to buy and import the phone for the time being, so I lost my chance of having it nowadays! and now I'm not sure if I'll ever have the chance again as traveling is not easy nowadays!
What are my options to have this feature on my device? Is there another keyboard or an app that can provide such accurate and fast voice transcribe? Does the clean android experience on Nokia phones have the same features as the Pixel?
I'm with you. I decided not to get the new Pixel and to get a OnePlus instead. That is the only feature that I am missing from my Pixel 4XL. Someone has to have figured this out. I'm wondering if you change your build.prop to a Pixel 4 or 5 and then clear storage on assistant it might trigger it.

[Q] Unlimited Original Quality Google Photos Backup?

My old Pixel 2 is on it's last legs and I only use it for syncing photos from other devices to Google Photos. I see that certain ROMs offered Unlimited Original Quality Backup in Google Photos (Havoc Pie, Evolution X 5.1, Proton 11) but none of these are available for download anymore. I know that most ROMs available offer unlimited reduced quality backups, but was hoping to get original quality.
I don't care if it's an old ROM or if it's a combination of Magisk Mods to get it working. Does anybody have a solution?
