  There is an app called CubeACR which does exactly that on unrooted devices.

    I very much doubt that, since Google removed the call recording APIs. But if someone can tell how it would work on recent Android, I would love being proven wrong.

      I mean it works on my device which is on Android 15. Not sure how exactly it works though. Just give it a shot and see for yourself?

        1. Did you install CubeACR from the Play store, or somewhere else?
        2. Did you install it on an earlier Android version, and then upgrade?
        3. What device is this, if you don’t mind sharing?

  OneUI 7.0.

    And one UI 6.0 and one UI 5.0. My Samsung phones have done this for as long as I can remember

      Anything on Android 11 and below, at least, before the regulations were put in effect to take the feature from newer releases

        Maybe it was just the flagship phones that had it? I had Dex on my note 20 and s24ultra without interruption.

    OneUI 7 actually downgrades the Dex experience by removing the feature to launch it in Windows.

  For users with a Samsung Flagship phone, if you have the “One UI 7” update, they just recently added this feature.

    You used be able to run Linux apps too, but they pulled it all back because they are only good at loading up bloatware.

    Do you have such a phone? What CSC does it have?

      I currently have and use a Samsung Galaxy S24+. Not sure what you mean by CSC.

      There is a default voice recorder app included with the phone which can be used for meetings or other recordings. But when I make a phone call there is an extra button on screen. When clicking the button it informs the caller that the call is being recorded for legal reasons. Any recording that goes thru that app is able to be transcribed.

        You probably happen to have one of the CSCs that has native call recording enabled.

        Everyone else needs to either root their phone or change the CSC somehow.

  Nowadays you don’t even need to root your phone; certains custom roms do that by default

    And to install a custom ROM you need to unlock your boot loader and root it anyways. Do custom roms even come with a non-root option? I haven’t done it in years.

      You don’t have to root to install custom ROM

      Grapheneos doesn’t require root before install or allow root after install

      You… Dont need to root your device to install a custom rom? You can very well unlock your device, flash a custom rom, and use it unrooted. Nowadays quite a lot of custom rom come with a kernel prepatched for KSU, but that’s obviously not a requirement…

        Bruh, last device I rooted and unlocked was in like 2015. Lost the need to do it.

        Back then though, I’d never heard of a custom ROM that doesn’t have root enabled by default. Is that where we are at now?
