Bump-- Any answers to this? The link above is a bunch of neanderthals. I just ordered the 8T but may have to return it if call recording doesn't work. Does it work after 8T root?
Thx

It depends on your model and where you are. If you don't have it enabled, like the U.S. unlocked KB2005 variants, you cannot enable it through the system right now. No matter what model you have, there will be a way once we get root. I am sure there are regular apps you can get as well. I use TotalRecall which lets you choose the method for recording, including root.

LOL, that's very very true. But we have to live on with this situation. On rooted phones you can get most call recorders to work, after reading their help files (skvalex Call Recorder, Boldbeast, I have both paid versions).
Disadvantage is, with root, secured apps mostly do not work any more, issues with Widevine Level 1 and SafetyNet will arise, and there is no certified Play Store for GPay any more. In addition, Android 11 forces more security than previous versions. You may need to go back to older phones (i.e. my Moto Z3 Play) to get what you want. For my part, fixing all these issues (with Magisk, the like) is too much work, which likely has to be repeated after monthly security updates.

I'm on KB2003 (EU) and we don't even have half of the OnePlus apps. Messaging and Phone for example, have been changed to Google's. Not to mention there's some other preinstalled Google bloat, although you can easily uninstall them as a lot of them aren't system apps. We also still have netflix added as bloat too? I'm not sure what's happening anymore

On Pixel 3a XL I was able to root Android 11 and skvalex Call Recorder works on that. But I am worried that it will not do the trick on the 8T. Now I'm just waiting to push the order button - but I NEED call recording. It's the most crucial feature of a phone I purchase.

I'm not rooted on OP8T and I used jOnePlus Tools and enabled it using shell commands then enabled call recording and it works with native phone app....if I had it rooted I'd rather have truephone+skvalex but that's my preference

Which 8T? KB2003, OOS 11.0.1.2.KB05BA and com.google.android 55.1.335513515 dialer?
Until now, I only installed skvalex CR and gave it adb permissions and device helper access as requested. Did not test this, though.

Sorry, I don't see anything useful in your 7 seconds imgur video. But thanks for your efforts, maybe it is helpful for other users with your 8T version.
EU variant (KB2003) has no native OP dialer, it's Google's com.google.android. That said, jOnePlus Tools show a switch with enabled call recorder and call recorder service, but nothing is recorded because there is no call recorder in EU firmware or Google Dialer, which can be enabled.

Does not open after installation and setup (rights, telephone standard app), (OnePlus Phone 4.9.5 August 7, 2020). I think it is not possible without root on Android 11 and several additional "Phone and Messaging Storage" and "Phone Services" apk, at least in Europe.

If you have root, you can try Google dialer mod to force enable call recording.

[MOD][ROOT] GAppsMod (ex GoogleDialerMod)

Introduction​GAppsMod (ex GoogleDialerMod) is an Android application able to unlock hidden features (e.g., available only in some countries or on certain devices) in Google applications (such as Phone Messages by Google). Root is required.
The patches are applied to the "Phenotype DB", a hidden Google Play Services database that tracks which features are available or not for all Google applications installed on Android devices. This approach should allow mods to survive application updates and keep the original Google applications unpatched.
Features​
Supports all arm / arm64 / x86 / x86_64 devices and all Android versions from 5.0 (Lollipop)
Enable / disable hidden features for all users at once when Android "multiple users" mode is in use
Allows users to list and change all Phenotype DB boolean flags for all installed Google applications
A convenient home screen brings together the suggested mods for the most used Google applications
Currently suggested mods​
For the Phone application (link):
Force enable call recording feature, even on unsupported devices or in unsupported countries (ref)
Enable also automatic call recording ("always record") feature based on caller (otherwise only available in India)
Silence the annoying "registration has started / ended" call recording announcements (only on Phone version <= 94.x)
Force enable call screening and "revelio" (advanced automatic call screening) features, even on unsupported devices or in unsupported countries (ref)
Allows users to choose the language for call screening
For the Messages application (link):
Force enable debug menu (it can also be enabled without mods by entering *xyzzy* in the application's search field)
Force enable message organization ("supersort")
Force enable marking conversations as unread
Force enable verified SMS settings menu (ref)
Force enable always sending images by Google Photos links in SMS (ref)
Force enable nudges and birthday reminders (ref)
Force enable Bard AI draft suggestions ("magic compose") (ref)
Force enable smart features: spotlights suggestions (ref), stickers suggestions, smart compose (ref), smart actions (smart reply) in notifications
And much more coming soon
​Troubleshooting:​
After enabling / disabling any mod, please force close and reopen a few times the Google application you are trying to tweak. You may also need to reboot for the changes to take effect.
Before to report an issue try to delete Google apps data, to reboot your phone and to try again what didn't work

Option exist but it says it's not available in your country.
UPDATE : after a few modifications the call recording option also disappeared .

Thanks for the app !
It works on my new Xiaomi Mi 11 running Android 11. But it seems the recording announcement insists on playing when starting/stopping recording, even with the 'slience call recording alerts' switched on. Not sure if the other party will hear the announcements though, will need more testing.
But it is great otherwise ! Cheers

Yes, using the latest version.
4 files:
ending_voice-en_US.wav ending_voice-zh_HK.wav starting_voice-en_US.wav starting_voice-zh_HK.wav
And it is apparently using the zh_HK.wav files for the alerts, assuming these .wav files are the Chinese language announcements. (My locale is Hong Kong, maybe that's why)

Uhm in theory GoogleDialerMod should force Google Dialer to use the US file, which it replaces with an empty file.
I'll try to troubleshoot this and I'll let you know.
Have you already tried to disable and re-enable the switch and force closing (via Android settings) and reopening the dialer a couple of times?

After trying your suggestions it worked ! Don't know what did it, could the the repeated toggling, could be the force closing, or it may have been just a reboot that did it. So glad to have a fully working phone recorder. Cheers and thanks again !

Question Call recording on Pixel 7 pro?

**Update** Thank you all for your comments so far. I have now tried Call Recorder by Skvalex and recording "works" but on my unrooted device it's clearly using the microphone to record both sides. Quality is ok, here is a link to my sample recording https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-nbKtZHSsf5g_qlFLP7wYzcm-nwwwRZd/view?usp=drivesdk
I would prefer inline recording so I'm now considering rooting **/update**
I'm looking to purchase the pixel 7 pro but call recording is important to me. Please no debates over the legality/morals of call recording.
Can anyone confirm if call recording is possible and how it is done? Ideally I want line recording from both sides.
I'm currently using a Xiaomi Mi Note 10 with Call Recorder by Skvalex and it works fine. I like the software by Skvalex and have been using it for years (about 7 years I think) so would like to continue using it on my new phone if possible. Although any software that works would be fine
I would rather not root the phone as banking apps and warranty are important to me.
Thanks in advance,
Oliver

it works via Cubeacr without root.
But my phone is rooted - I use skvalex.
The warranty is not affected and bank applications and google pay work fine after root.

I also use skvalex with root. All banking apps work and it passes safety net...

Yeah just tried it and it seems to work
Wish it had a manual mode, since i need to record on demand which is only 15% of my calls. This module records all calls which introduces an extra step of deleting the unwanted recordings ever so often but hey, it works better than using googles way which is really primitive. BCR also connects to your contacts helping you save the recordings with the contact name which is better than the guessing game.
Im pleased with it.

BCR is available via GitHub or Fox's magisk module manager.

Installed the BCR v1.23 by chenxiaolong via the Magisk Module but still the google dialer is not showing a recording option on my Pixel 7pro rooted device. Any recommendations. Am aware about the skvalex recorder but prefer the BCR basic.

I'm not sure BCR really integrates into Google Dialer but is rather a separate recording app.... if you want to enable the built-in call recording in Google dialer you can use e.g. this mod

BCR records independently and won't show a record button. It will record all phone calls which then you can access in the /mnt/user/0/self/primary/Android/data/com.chiller3.bcr/files

Installed this mod and after that it keeps getting stuck probably because of overwrite of files. Had BCR already installed and still proceeded to install the Google dialer mod. Restarted the phone about 7-8 times and still getting stuck so roves both the

The phone simply restarts on its own every 2 minutes. Deleted all the latest apps installed, also uninstalled and reinstalled the phone dialer app and installed the public version on my rooter pixel 7pro. Need some solution as this has happened due to overwriting of files.

Hmm, the mod works just fine here. Not sure what you mean by overwritten files. Did you do any changes systemlessly (via Magisk) or did you really change files in the system partitions ?
Its difficult to judge the best approach on how to fix this without exact knowledge what you did and how the phone behaves. You could try reflashing the currently installed ROM - just take care you disable any options that either wipe data or relock the bootloader, depending on the way you install the ROM. Such a dirty flash should leave all your data intact, but to be safe I would make sure everything important is backed up somewhere

This behavior is happening on my new phone and the data still exists on the old phone so am safe for now. Just simply Magisk and i had BCR file and on top of that i installed the google dialer mod. I guess there wld have been compatibility issues. Stuck.

It seems, Cube ACR is the only app to go when not rooted? Subsrciption needed? Which Store, or site, please?
The other folks here should *please* at least mention whether their phone is on root or not, to keep OP's topic.

Yes, Cube ACR worked for me probably the best of all the ones I tried before I rooted. Downloaded from the play store and I think I also paid something. But the quality cannot be compared with SKVALEX after root.

Question Android 13 call recording

I tried to search in the couple of recent forum pages but failed. Is there any way to enable call recording in 6a?
AFAIK call recording apps no longer work after may/october 2022 update.
Is it possible to swap dialer to the one with this feature enabled? This would require root. Can you unroot the phone after the swap? Many banking apps do not like rooted phones so I'd like to limit rooting to a minimum. (done that a lot with my samsung s7 years ago)
I see it's possible to roll-back to android 12 or pre-october android 13 versions (not user friendly but doable)
Does any custom-rom allow call recording?

There is a way to enable call recording in google dialer but i dont remember if root was required. For me it was useless since you couldnt get rid of the "this call is being recorded" announcement
Whit root there are options, i use basic call recorder module in magisk.
Regarding the banking apps, adding them in magisk denylist and ticking enforce denylist works well. My banking app does not detect root and neither does revolut.

I use "Cube ACR" app records perfectly on the 6a, think it cost a few pounds but they may have a free version.
It records VoIP platforms like Skype, WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram, WeChat, LINE, Slack, Hangouts, calls as well which is a bonus.

Without root, you'll have different types of problems. With changes done by Google, you have to root your phone to enable call recording that works properly. On Samsung devices, you may try changing CSC to a supported region like India/ Indonesia and others where call recording is supported.

After taking a glance at that app (well, two, since APH is a companion app), I think what it ends up doing is you install the app ACR Phone app to replace your default phone app, then the APH is a companion app that allows recording on the ACR Phone app -- since it is a separate independent app, it theoretically can work without root.
I imagine it's as if Google Meet/Duo/Voice or Facebook Messenger or Whatsapp (I'm not certain, I don't know any phone calling apps) had a companion app that records the conversations that are have'd on them and you used them as a default phone app instead of the stock one.
I've never replaced the default phone app, so I don't know how viable this is on Android OS, but I imagine it could, again theoretically, work without root....

The companion app is required because the Google Play Store version of the app had to remove the Accessibility permission to comply with Play Store guidelines. Previous versions of the same app that used Accessibility permissions (before May 2022) did not require this companion app.
Call recording works and both sides are audible when I tested, but you'll hear a lot of noise.

Don't use closed source software in a trusted manner!
The proper call recorder to use is called BCR, which is open source and installs as a Magisk module. Note that while it does depend on Magisk, it uses the "systemless" process to gain the privileges needed to record calls, and NOT root.

I am confused. You say "NOT root" yet you say it requires Magisk and the link clearly talks about rooted phones.

'Root' is just a user with administrative privileges. Systemless is when you don't make any changes to the System partition during the rooting process.
In simple terms, if your region doesn't allow call recording, the only way for you to enable it on official ROMs made for your region is by rooting the device, which can be a systemless process.
Without root (irrespective of whether it is systemless or not), you cannot have proper call recording functionality.

I use cube acr to record calls

Does it work on non-rooted phones properly? Clear audio of both sides with no background noise?

Even ACR works with the helper app, but there is a lot of background noise. My questions:
1. Are both sides recorded?
2. Do you get clear recording without any background noise?

Ye I'd say it's clear
