Well, I am on the journey to find a good privacy respecting Android dialer app which also has the ability to record the calls regardless if it's saved or not. I guess that's a simple enough requirment PS: The device is unrooted.

Do either of those record?

[–] TheroRando@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Do either of these record? It's like one thing I need. ..

[–] UprisingVoltage@feddit.it 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Google killed call recording apps a year ago iirc

Call recording aside, the best combo I can recommend is simple dialer + yet another call blocker

[–] CrimsonOnoscopy@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I still have it on my GrapheneOS Pixel

[–] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I see the setting, but how do you actually begin recording a call?

[–] CrimsonOnoscopy@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

For me, on a phone call, there just is a button to start.

[–] HughJanus@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Still have call recording? Using what app?

[–] CrimsonOnoscopy@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's just in the main calling app, the standard 'phone' one. Possibly a Graphene exclusive.

[–] HughJanus@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have Graphene. The call app is the standard AOSP one and it doesn't have recording capability.

[–] babeuh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The standard phone app on GrapheneOS does support it.

[–] HughJanus@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I just looked and saw options in the settings. But how do you use it?

E: wow, okay, so you have to place a call, wait for them to pick up, and then scroll down into an invisible menu and there is a record button...

[–] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You just press "record call" it's one of the six buttons over the "end call" button. Not invisible at all

[–] HughJanus@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mine has 7 buttons and the 7th one "record call" falls off the bottom of the menu.

[–] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Huh, did you change any settings? Maybe we are just using different phones and it looks different on different screen sizes.

I'm using the Pixel 4a which has a pretty small screen

[–] HughJanus@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, I have:

  • Mute
  • keypad
  • speaker
  • RTT
  • add call
  • hold

And then I have to scroll down in that menu to find the record call button.

[–] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I don’t have RTT

[–] CrimsonOnoscopy@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

? For me it's right there, not sure what to say.

[–] TheroRando@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That really sucks to hear... I guess I am rooting my device sigh this is what happens if corporates take control of foss projects

[–] peregus@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are there apps that can record calls on rooted phones?

[–] daFRAKKINpope@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] peregus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But...are Magisk modules safe?

[–] daFRAKKINpope@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I trusted them for years. But, imo, if your rooting your device what your looking for is more functionality and not more safety.

[–] peregus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well, not really. Once was like that and I used to change ROM, but I got fed up of all the problems, so now I'm OK with the Pixel stock ROM. By the way, my bad, the Xposed modules where not so safe to use. Thanks. I'll try the module.Clos

[–] FoolishMortal@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Would love to see any suggestions to this as well. I'm currently using Cube ACR for call recording but after some Android OS changes the recording qualify for the incoming line is horrible.

[–] zoe@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

my hong kong infinix phone has this feature included in the main caller app.

[–] baduhai@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Simple dialer kinda sucks if you have two SIMs. You can't set default sim per contact. I just end up using the default dialer.

[–] PublicLewdness@burggit.moe 2 points 1 year ago

I use Simple Dialer myself. It's available on F-Droid.

[–] PrivacyAdvocate28@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] PrivacyAdvocate28@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

oops someone else already posted that

[–] TheroRando@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

I've tried this but alas No use, Both the receivers and my voice is not being recorded

[–] lengsel@latte.isnot.coffee 1 points 1 year ago

Welefon and Simple Dialer

[–] zingo@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] TheroRando@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

It doesn't have recording capability?...
