About Parabola

NOTE: Doesn't work on PinePhone for some reason

This app turns your device into an external microphone for your computer, just connect your device to the microphone (input) jack plug of your computer.
Or connect a bluetooth speaker to amplify your voice or broadcast it in another room.
It works by forwarding the audio input to the audio output.
IMPORTANT: If you don't connect a jack cable to the device, loud noises will start!

Not the intended way to use this app, but it lets ubports to regain microphone permissions when used after waydroid. Only other work around as of now is running an external script or rebooting so this is a win win for me.

Works good on Xperia X. Nice 'workaround' in case you quivkly need a mic.

App never actually opens on the Pinephone. Just get the icon and the spinning circle, no matter how long it is left for.
