Fake location to India for call recording? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
My POCO M4 Pro does call recording via the google phone app, but you have to manually hit the record button each time.
The option to 'record all calls' is only available if your location is set to India.
I've tried the following:
Set 'Region' to India.
Spoof GPS location to India via developer options.
Used a VPN location in India
Each time I have cleared cache/all data for the phone app(s) and rebooted but it still doesn't work.
I wondered if I need to use an India based ROM, but I can see the 'record all calls' option for a split second each time I open the relevant settings page, but it is removed almost instantly each time, so I belive it is built into my 'Global' ROM, but is being disabled by my location.
Does anyone know what Google phone is looking at to determine my location?
I've considered changing my google play account to India, or creating a new google profile based in India to see if that fools it...
Does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks!!

Tasker and MQTT CLIENT

I hope this is the right place... I've set up with a pucli MQTT broker and verified repeatedly that it works. I set up a task in Tasker to let me know by voice and with a visual popup when my front door opens (whether I'm in our out). The MQTT Broker always receives the message "front door open" and alwys sends it back.
MOst of the time, Tasker and the MQTT plugin work on this - both the visual popup and voice - even after the phone is put in my pocket - but after a reboot I have to run taskre and the plugin once. Even that is DOABLE - but occssionally even that doesnt help - nothing - no popup, no voice..... This is SO frustratinbg - I've told my Xiomi Mi 10 Pro to let both run after boot - and also taken off battery restrictions on both - but still the issues persist. The 10 Pro is up to date as of weeks ago.
Any ideas? So near yet so far.

Removing Trackers URLs from App

I've read and tested few apps to make them mod but what I am not able to find is, is it possible to remove the additional trackers URLs from the apps?
For example, I was able to remove displaying ads in an app but it still connects to tracking URLs (Google, Facebook, AdServer, etc.). How can I make it clean?

Hacking Samsung CSC Code To Enable Call Recording

Hi everyone - new member here, so maybe this has been covered, but thought I would ask anyway.
As we all know, the Samsung dialer enables native call recording from only a handful of countries and uses the phone's CSC code to make that determination. Other than rooting the phone - which trips Knox and potentially causes other problems and is super complicated for newbies, the only solution is to change the CSC code to one of those countries via a utility, which seems to work well from the posts here (p.s. third party recording apps cannot reliably capture the other side of the call).
The problem is that in order to even do that, you have to have a European model "B" or "E" phone - meaning, all lhe US based "U" phones are hopelessly without any solution.
My question is, why is it so difficult to hack the dialer into thinking the phone has the necessary CBC code that enables the recording, especially since it would appear to be a very localized and specific call for one piece of data that could be spoofed. I'm sure there's a very good reason why it can't be done, but thinking more along the lines of using a PC or Mac, it would seem simple enough to load some code at startup that would fool the phone into enabling the call recorder option.
Any thoughts?

Need for advice LENOVO TAB M10 TX-606-F

Hello,
first of all I apologize in advance for my mistakes, but not being at ease with the English language I prefer to use a translator.
I just rooted this tablet with TWRP & Magisk.
Now I want to change some features in the settings menu.
For example, I want to prevent the user to delete an application.
I tried app locker to block for example termux but unfortunately you can still delete the desired application. Of course, app locker can't be deleted but the applications it protects can.
on the other hand, is it possible for example to switch the tablet to airplane mode from 9 PM and to grey out the functionality to avoid that the person reactivates the connections ?
Sorry this is a lot to ask but if you can help me it would be nice.
thank you and good day to all

[Google Wallet] How to change the default bank card picture in the application?

Hey, community!
Is there any chance that someone of you knows the hack of how to change the default picture of the bank card in Google Wallet?
The problem is that I have two identical cards in my bank that are linked to the EUR and USD accounts and I always mess up while picking the wrong one.
My bank doesn't allow me to change the appearance of the card as some fintech banks do, but I remember when I was using iPhone with jailbreak it was possible with some tweaks to upload the custom card picture.
I've tried to check the Android file system but didn't find anything really helpful.
Maybe someone knows the way, thanks!
