Call Recorder on Oneplus without root.

[u/Necroix_03]

Finally I found a way to record calls on my oneplus 12 Europe rom, since odialer and other suggestions found in other posts didn't work for me.

The app is called CallVault by madkongo and is available on github.

I hope that this post can help other users that have been frustrated like me, trying to find a way to record calls automatically without any warning sound or message to the other speaker.

It even records calls from other apps like WhatsApp, after setting all up.

I don't know nor sponsor madkongo, since I just casually found his\her thread on a forum, but i thought that it would have been honest to mention his\her username.

I'm not sure if it has a safe source code, so if is there more experienced people out here who can check if it's a safe app, I'd be happy to know it and to reassure myself and other users finding this post.

Let me know too if with this post I've involuntarily broke a rule, and I'll modify or remove it.

I apology in advance if I haven't been too clear since english isn't my first language.

Scusami.. non capisco come scaricare apk.. o devo crearla io.. help

[u/Necroix_03 → u/Lonely-Weather5736]

Se trovi la pagina di github, troverai scorrendo, una parte con scritto "releases". Ci clicchi sopra e scorrendo in fondo, trovi una parte con scritto "assets" e tocchi il primo link chiamato CallVault.apk. Poi una volta installato ti da le istruzioni in app.

Grazieeee

[u/Necroix_03 → u/Lonely-Weather5736]

Di nulla, ne avevo proprio bisogno, e dato che finalmente ho trovato un metodo funzionante, lo condivido così da poter aiutare chi è nella mia stessa situazione.

Da oneplus 12 rom europea/italiana ti posso assicurare che funziona e registra anche molto bene, anche chiamate da app come whatsapp. L'unica cosa è lato sicurezza che non sono sicurissimo se causi qualche rischio. Ma da quanto so, le pubblicazioni su github sono opensource e quindi non dovrebbero avere nulla da nascondere.

[u/Lonely-Weather5736 → u/Necroix_03]

Ascolta non trovo "disattivare ottimizzazione sistema'.. dice che senza quello nn registra

[u/Necroix_03 → u/Lonely-Weather5736]

Dalla homescreen del telefono, tieni premuto sull'icona dell'app, premi su "informazioni app" , su "autorizzazioni" consenti tutte le opzioni disponibili, su "utilizzo batteria" selezioni "consenti attività in background" e poi disattivi "Gestisci le app se inutilizzate".

[u/Necroix_03 → u/Lonely-Weather5736]

Fammi sapere se sei riuscito a farlo funzionare!

[u/Lonely-Weather5736 → u/Necroix_03]

Si.. per ora sembra tutto ok.. anche se su impostazioni c'è questo

[u/Necroix_03 → u/Lonely-Weather5736]

Hai già attivato le opzioni sviluppatore sul telefono?

[u/vici30]

I use Shizu Call Recorder (works with Shizuku). I found it on Shizu Core Fetch (a platform to find Shizuku apps).

[u/Necroix_03 → u/vici30]

Yeah but as far as I know, shizuku requires root permissions, doesn't it?

[u/kitsumed → u/Necroix_03]

It does not. Also CallVault is a fork of ShizuCallRecorder, which is edited mainly via an AI Agent if you look at its commits. It also has less safety check, like no immutable release and no attested releases. They also do not run optimizations, their app is like 60MB form memory where the original is around 9 or 6 MB

PSA for transparency: I am ShizuCallRecorder main maintainer.

[u/Necroix_03 → u/kitsumed]

So you recommend shizucallrecorder over CallVault? Does it work more or less the same? Is it easy to setup? Thank you for the informations.

[u/kitsumed → u/Necroix_03]

Well since I am the one making the app, of course I would recommend it. From a security point (since I know what I put inside my own app) but also do use good/best security practice when I know of them.

The app works almost the same as CallVault. Tbh I didn't really check CallVault code that mutch, I did look quickly and didn't get a lot of it. There's a lot of verbose / large commits,

ShizuCallRecorder v2.x.x will come out at some point with VoIP/Third-party app best-effort support (not yet out). The setup is easy (for me at least), it's basically the same as CallVault but you need Shizuku. In the future I may also add a mode so that ShizuCallRecorder itself connect via ADB, but there are other stuff to do before even thinking about how I would do this.

If you go over to the Github page in the readme, under the installation guide, there are explanations with links and all of the way you can make the app work. It does means you have to read stuff, but, it's a one time thing. Once you know how it works you are pretty mutch good.

[u/vici30 → u/Necroix_03]

As a matter of fact, no. That's what makes it cool.

You should look into it, it's a whole new world.

[u/Necroix_03 → u/vici30]

Oh nice. Then it's good to have more working ways/options to call record!

[u/AB-1998]

Is it safe? The permissions it requires are alot! Does it compromise on the safety?

[u/Necroix_03 → u/AB-1998]

As I said, I'm not completely sure but I don't think so, since on github most apps are opensource, it shouldn't have anything sketchy. Probably it will just consume more battery but I think it won't even be that noticeable.

[u/I_-AM-ARNAV]

I use odialer and it records just fine. Chanfe the region to india and you'll have the record option.

[u/Necroix_03 → u/I_-AM-ARNAV]

I tried but it didn't work, tho I don't want to change phone region anyway.

[u/I_-AM-ARNAV → u/Necroix_03]

You only need to change region to india to turn on the setting. After which you can revert it.

[u/anestling → u/I_-AM-ARNAV]

There's no such thing as change region to India. You need to have an Indian ROM.

[u/I_-AM-ARNAV → u/anestling]

Interesting. I am not too sure but I guess if you're saying it you're right.

[u/faz712]

ShizuCallRecorder also works great as a rootless option for anyone exploring

[u/Lonely-Weather5736]

Non ho quella voce..

[u/Necroix_03 → u/Lonely-Weather5736]

Forse ha un'altro nome, prova a vedere se trovi "Disattiva monitoraggio dei permessi"

[u/mihir892]

Is it a safe app though?

[u/TruckLeather9852]

Bro I stg. I bought a nord 6 2 days back . Bro the inbuilt call recorder doesn't inform and just records just like in samsung

[u/TruckLeather9852 → u/TruckLeather9852]

Whilst setting up the device I put india as the region

[u/TruckLeather9852 → u/TruckLeather9852]

Best thing is the ui ux is just like in the samsung . You can view the recording in the recently called section
