You want it to auto record every phone call?

Yes. That's how my phone is currently set up. My ex-wife is a psychopath, so everything gets recorded and backed up.

I want to love Graphene. I really do. But Jesus fucking christ, every thread the devs get involved with just seems like they're sniffing their own farts over blatant refusal to implement a feature in any sensible way. System-wide hosts-based adblocking (DNS/always-on VPN is not a reasonable solution) and automatic call recording should be basic-ass features on a custom ROM of this caliber.

I've got to ask you something here and it'll probably sound weird, but here in the UK if you did that you'd probably be in for a hard time, legally standing recording others without informing them.

But I'm more curious how often you listen back to these phone calls since you say you record each one, and do you keep lots of them/off-site etc?

I'm also in a one-party consent country, and I've found it sometimes useful to get back to some calls just to find out some details, such as agreed date/time or some detail of a discussion I had with my mother. I would enjoy an automatic text translation to be stored alongside them.

I miss the feature now that I have Pixel 8.

I used syncthing to sync them to PC. Size-wise I have so few phone calls (work meetings excluded, which they are as they are over Slack/Teams) that all of them will fit most any modern phone easily.

Again, thanks for the insight!

Did a little searching and it seems you could script this to transcribe your calls
