Android’s next big feature turns your phone into a desktop
Samsung DeX, Google’s version.

Cool. Now let me legally record my phone calls without rooting my phone.
Built-in to GrapheneOS for a while now.
CalyxOS also has it (though they block it where it's illegal).
Two problems:
- No automatic call recording.
- Banking apps don't work on GrapheneOS thanks to Play Integrity APIs, so you probably need to root to get them to work.
If you need to root anyway, might as well use BCR.
Fair enough if those are deal breakers for anyone; just letting people know. Automatic would be nice, but couldn't care less about banking apps personally.
Where/how?
There's a button on the call screen.
Screenshot? I don't seem to have that.
https://grapheneos.org/features#other-features
Call recording functionality within the Dialer app using modern Android storage with recordings stored in Recordings/Call Recordings and no restrictions based on region or special cases like playing a recording tone (users are still responsible for complying with their local laws).
Says there's no region block, so not sure why it wouldn't be there for you.
Edit: the button only shows up when a call connects & it's on the bottom right.
Strange. I'm not seeing it. This is within the default phone app correct?
Except it's not automatic
Can i install grapheneos on Xiaomi
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?
- Did you install CubeACR from the Play store, or somewhere else?
- Did you install it on an earlier Android version, and then upgrade?
- What device is this, if you don't mind sharing?

- I have it installed via obtainium (which pulls from their website)
- Pretty I didn't
- OnePlus 12R
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, so we gain some features and lose some.
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 creating 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.
I'm not sure if the feature is region locked or not. I didn't have to worry about any of that. This feature is brand new with the One UI 7 update.
Would be nice, apart from the recording notification to the other party. Defeats the purpose of call recording in the first place.
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.
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?
I still custom rom my devices to get rid of applications I don't need. Plus root is useful for automatizing the updating of my apps from third party stores ; but Shizuku exists so that's not the only way to do it.
But yeah, nowaydays you need usually to flash magisk to have root, or to use a kernel compiled with support for KSU.
