    Cool. Now let me legally record my phone calls without rooting my phone.

      Built-in to GrapheneOS for a while now.

        CalyxOS also has it (though they block it where it’s illegal).

          There’s a button on the call screen.

              https://grapheneos.org/features#other-features

              Call recording functionality within the Dialer app using modern Android storage with recordings stored in Recordings/Call Recordings and no restrictions based on region or special cases like playing a recording tone (users are still responsible for complying with their local laws).

              Says there’s no region block, so not sure why it wouldn’t be there for you.

              Edit: the button only shows up when a call connects & it’s on the bottom right.

                Strange. I’m not seeing it. This is within the default phone app correct?

        Two problems:

        1. No automatic call recording.
        2. Banking apps don’t work on GrapheneOS thanks to Play Integrity APIs, so you probably need to root to get them to work.

        If you need to root anyway, might as well use BCR.

          Fair enough if those are deal breakers for anyone; just letting people know. Automatic would be nice, but couldn’t care less about banking apps personally.

      For users with a Samsung Flagship phone, if you have the “One UI 7” update, they just recently added this feature.

        You used be able to run Linux apps too, but they pulled it all back because they are only good at creating bloatware.

        Do you have such a phone? What CSC does it have?

          I currently have and use a Samsung Galaxy S24+. Not sure what you mean by CSC.

          There is a default voice recorder app included with the phone which can be used for meetings or other recordings. But when I make a phone call there is an extra button on screen. When clicking the button it informs the caller that the call is being recorded for legal reasons. Any recording that goes thru that app is able to be transcribed.

            https://itechhacks.com/find-your-samsung-galaxy-csc-region-code/

            You probably happen to have one of the CSCs that has native call recording enabled.

            Everyone else needs to either root their phone or change the CSC somehow.

              I’m not sure if the feature is region locked or not. I didn’t have to worry about any of that. This feature is brand new with the One UI 7 update.

                Would be nice, apart from the recording notification to the other party. Defeats the purpose of call recording in the first place.

        OneUI 7 actually downgrades the Dex experience by removing the feature to launch it in Windows, so we gain some features and lose some.
