Anyone know of a good phone call recorder for an ungoogled android? Didn't see anything in f-droid.

I just use an audio recorder while the call is on speaker phone.

If for some reason you want to record a call, make sure to check what the laws around that are in your country, in mine for example you have to tell the other person you're recording, but I believe you don't have to if you're talking to a company you are paying for some service for example

Anyway, don't get in trouble friend

Google disabled call recording for everyone a few years back because it's illegal in some places. Even in states where it is legal, most of the call recorder apps dont work without root privileges anymore.

A few years ago I was using "Call Recorder" which seemed good at the time, but right now hasn't had any work done on it since 2023.

It was on f-droid, but the author threw a tantrum at f-droid about donations.

This allows recording? I don't see how.

Oh sorry I read it wrong, thought you meant call app. For recording maybe basic call recorder but I think it requires root.
