Automatic call recording feature - options for Brax3 phone

Is there any option to automatically record calls using the native Phone app ? I found only Audio format selection in settings - Sounds and vibration - Call recording , but no option for automatically record calls.

This is one of the most important features for me in a phone…

On my other phone I use BCR by chenxiaolong from here : GitHub project page

The problem is that I don’t want to root the phone because it will affect banking apps. I tried to install BCR without root, by flashing the .zip in recovery but it doesn’t work…

I get something like : “E: footer is wrong, signature verification failed, error: 21, and installation aborted”

I tried using CUBE ACR but I only get my voice recorded,so it’s not working and I prefer to use BCR because it’s open source…or maybe at least to have the option to automatically record using the native phone dialer.

What are the options?

I am not aware of any app that does this without rooting.

Can this feature be added at the OS level? It already has native option to record if I push the button during a call…

The feature can be added to the phone app surely. It will be best to escalate the request to the maintainer of the phone app, as we don’t currently plan on forking the phone app and maintaining it.

Call recording is possible in the default phone app (it appears as a button in the in-call UI), depending on the user country. Full details are available here: java/com/android/dialer/callrecord/res/xml/call_record_states.xml · v7.1 · os / public / lineage / packages_apps_Dialer · GitLab
This was implemented in older aosp versions, then removed, and re-added in lineage, without changing these rules. We are actually discussing internally in iodé to enable this feature to everyone. I personally believe that users shall not ignore laws of their country, and they are solely responsible for how they use their phone.

The Dialer app is forked in iodé :wink: for the sole purpose to replace a DNS call (google → quad9): change dns to quad9 (313b05cc) · Commits · os / public / lineage / packages_apps_Dialer · GitLab

I think it’s putrid to make laws banning people to record their own phone conversations. However in the country I live it is legal… But the problem I have, and would like to ask for the feature, is to be able to record automatically without the need to press Record button. Every time a call is made or received the record should start automatically if it is toggled in the settings…

Ok, I misunderstood your request, sorry. This is not planned at the moment, but may be an interesting addition we could consider.
