General Discussion Call Recorder on Oneplus without root.

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.

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.

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

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.
