Automatic callrecording on Pie? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been using a variety of automatic call recorders for years and recording calls have been indispensable for me.
I make and receive quite a lot of calls related to my job and I tend to forget details all the time, and so it's been great to just listen to the conversation again.
The quality of the recordings haven't been great, especially the voice of the other person but it has done the trick anyway.
I recently bought a Pocophone F1 and was pleasantly surprised that MIUI actually has a setting for turning on the native call recorder automatically so I wouldn't have to get an app to do it, but even better, the quality was *great*. Way better than any of the apps I've tried with any of the settings.
But today I flashed Lineage OS 16 because MIUI was bugging me for a bunch of reasons, but Lineage doesn't have such an option.
But not only that, no of the third party recorder apps I try work at all. I've now read that google has made it impossible for apps to record calls in Pie.
I can manually press the record button in the dialer app and that works fine, but the problem is that I have to manually activate it for each call and I know I'm not going to remember to do that, plus I don't even always have the possibility like when I'm driving or working with my hands and I answer using my headset.
Is there any way of making the native recorder activate automatically in Lineage OS like in MIUI or is there any other alternative?
Do I need to flash another rom if i need this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi. Lenovo P780 has Recorder app build in. If you dont like this yu can try alot of recorders app from Google Magazin Play, just search for Recorder.
Sent from my Lenovo P780
In theory, no phone has that. It's kind of a privacy thing. On an IPhone, it's not possible without doing God knows what. On Android, I'm sure there is an app for that, but by default it's not possible.
Just go to the Play store and search for it ? Googling for Android call recording came up with 3 high rated apps already, so you should be fine
Edit : just saw on S123 ROW that there is a button on the ongoing call screen to indeed record the call

[APP] Call Recorder App like in MIUI

I am using Pixel Experience, and I had a long time of using MIUI before. The most thing I like in MIUI is call recorder available on Phone app. The record, it's so clearly and high quality, both for caller and receiver.
On PE Rom, I've try lot of apps to replace this thing on MIUI, but these apps just record the sound of caller, and receiver is really small, sometimes could not hear it.
Does anybody have solution for this problems? Could we port App Phone on MIUI to PE (j4f)
hello probably the best i ever had

Sharing a call recorder that worked for me on Android 10, Lg G8x

Hi guys,
I've been struggling for quite a while to find a working call recorder for Android 10 Lg G8x and I finally found one that works without you having to click your heels 3 times and do 7 summersaults... Just thought i would share it with the community:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fragileheart.callrecorder
All you need to do is change the audio source to Voice calls, and it records normal calls speaker calls and bluetooth
Wow... You made my day. I've been testing several Call Recorders with no success because I need recording for my work. If this works in a decent way you will have solve one of the problems I had with G8x.

We should share what we find. Here are a few apps that I consider must have for G8X:
Wide mode for LG https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.refy.android.g8x.widemode
Launch 2 apps, one on each screen: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.graymatterapps.duallaunchforlg or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.splitscreenlauncher
Overlay apps that really help if you are in Wide mode and can't reach:
- This one is the most used app on my phone, awesome assistive touch with very complex gesture controls if you want to go there. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ksxkq.floating . I use it with long press to move, press - menu, left - back, down - home, right - task manager, up - notifications, swipe up + hold - slide volume, swipe down + hold - slide brightness.
- Meteor Swipe https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.glovebox . This one is a side-bar, and has a nice open in window mode directly.
- Floating bar V40: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tools.lgv30.floatingbar . Much better than the built in functionality, and the only media controller if found that works with any media (Netflix, Youtube, etc)
- Bubble notification, best i've found : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onedollar.bubblenotificationq
List My Apps: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.onyxbits.listmyapps
Launchers:
- Square home https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.squarehome2
- Microsoft home https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.launcher
-> Both have landscape support, and are leaps and bounds over Apex or Nova, the blank slates that everyone uses for launchers.

Leave feedback for the dev, he put in the work.
Do you have any tips/tricks you would like to share about your G8X?
I see people are not really sharing, and that is sad, because that is one of the reasons Samsung devices are in such high regards, because the XDA community is very verbal about them, even though LG practically gives you the tools to root their devices, whereas Samsung tries their best to not do so.
The call recorder doesn't work when the dual screen accessory is attached and closed, but it does work when you flip it back and answer the call. Can others verify ?
i too am facing the call recording issue... this app works sometimes, most of the times it doesnt record anything, cant determine when it works well
hope LG bring native call recording to LG G8X, i think its just matter of enabling it in GUI. is there a way to submit feature request to LG?

"Works very rarely" is not really a unit of measure, you need to be more precise when offering feedback like when this happens, and its better if you offer it to the devs.
I can confirm that with the initial settings, recording through Bluetooth headsets does not work,the resulting fine is just empty, and i remember it did, maybe something was updated or the LDAC options might affect it. Direct calls do record fine, and it's the only app that allows contact recognition that I found at least.
If you guys find a better app, please let us know.

is there Screen Locker for LG G8X, Normal App Locker does not work in Secondary Screen
Currently, the only app with call recording and caller recognition is https://cubeacr.app/ Use direct download, not from the play store, as google does not allow to recognize caller and record calls. The source for the call is "voice recognition software" It looks like it is a mic but in a different mode. Quality is not the best. For me, there is no reason to buy it. Disable automatic update for this app or it will be overwritten by google version.

The play store version now has an addin that you can install, and gives you full functionality. If the volume for the other person is very low (this was the case for me) disable "Force in-communication mod"

Hello there. I can confirm this app works flawlessly on the lg v40. My v20 had the stock recorder on android 9 and I missed it a lot on the v40. I found this app just today and I'm really pleased.

Kindly share apk file as the suggested app is not available on play store in my region (India)
I ended up using the skvalex call recorder from Magisk, but you need a rooted phone for that to work. It's also a paid app (with 30 days of trial) and not a cheap one either, but it works flawlessly.

Call recording without rooting?

Call recording is important to me. In the past I've always rooted my phones and used @skvalex's app which is amazing.
For the first time, I'm considering not rooting because I want Google Pay and system updates to work smoothly. I know there are workarounds but they seem like a lot of trouble.
Has anyone found a good solution to record calls on the pixel without root?
I have the US version, unlocked.
Thanks!

Hi ameer, unfortunately that app doesn't record the internal uplink+downlink. Rather it records from the devices's mic. Several apps do this such as Call Recorder by @skvalex (the best). But they can't record bluetooth conversations.

It doesn't help without root. If you select uplink / downlink in the settings without root, the calls will not be recorded.
Thanks for your suggestions.
@harryspar
Up until this phone, I used JOnePlus Tools app to enable stock call recording in my previous phones, the 7 pro, 6t and 5t, unrooted. I have installed it and done so with my n10 5g but i dont see it working like it had in the past. I dont know if maybe its the dialer, or if the nord maybe didnt come with the ability to record calls like the phones before it. Either way, without root it seems your options might be limited.

This is because the Nord series comes with the Google dialer instead of the OnePlus dialer.
In Oxygen OS 11 it is reportedly possible to installthe oneplus dialer and enable recording. The Nord has an OOS update but the Nord n10 5G does not.
I have bought Nord n10 5G today for my wife, but I realized now that call recording is not allowed on this. Do you have any methods to make it possible?
I have tried the OCR mentioned above and it works well on Nord n10 5G even though file name doesn't have contact name. But voice is well recorded clearly.
Looks to me like that OCR is the same as the other noon root solutions that record from the speakers rather than the phone line.
This means it will not work for calls via Bluetooth.
It's not much different than just using the built in screen recorder and extracting the audio.

Recording phone calls on android 11

To record a phone call and keep it for myself or my lawyer, is legal in my country.
Hi guys, how is it going?
May i ask for your help, please?
I had android 6(on huawei phone) and i used to record with the app "cube acr", everything worked fine.
Now i own a phone with android 11, i downloaded cube acr but i cannot record, i hear very very low volume.
If i change the recording source i cannot hear anything, it is completely silent.
If i use the "default" phone dialer app, which is "google phone", i can record and the recording is very good in terms of audio.
But i dont like it because is not automatic plus i hear "recording started". Also i read that the other person might know that im recording them.
I want cube acr app to work or a similar app, i dont like google recording.
Can anyone help me or suggest me a way to fix the problem so i can record with a third-party app?
Do you think there is a problem somewhere? Maybe a conflict of some sort?
Thanks happy new year.
If you installed the cube acr app from Google Play Store and you are used to this recording app, I suggest you contact the developer of this app for help.
Perhaps, he/she will develop & distribute a new edition which perfectly supports Android 11 soon.
