Enable Native Call Recording [OOS] [ROOT/NON-ROOT] [APP/MAGISK MODULE/ADB/TASKER]

[strongst]

Thank you for your tip.
I read that many people outside of China complain about issues with this operating system.

It's working really good in Germany
Call recording is working without any modification.

If you aren't rooted, then I'm afraid there's no method that will be permanent. Call recording option will disappear for you from time to time. The only thing that I can think of is to find a third party call recording app from the Play Store and use it. Or switch to HydrogenOS, as mentioned in the above mentioned post.

Thank you Shadowstep.
Unfortunatly Android Pie makes it impossible to record calls with third party apps.
I tried several third party call recording apps and read a lot about other people that used these apps before realease of Android 9 and all have the same problem: you can hear your voice but not the person on the other side.
System app was the only possibility till OnePlus opted for blocking native call recording on its global phones.
But I wonder, I chose Android instead of iOS because it's a more open system, if Google and OnePlus are so concerned about the privacy laws of different countries, why they don't put a nice disclaimer where the user accepts to use the call recording option under its own responsibility?

I read some people had issues with language and Android Marketplace.

Oh, yes! I faintly remember I read an article somewhere that there have been changes done to AOSP Pie branch that affects third party call recording functionality. My bad, slipped out of your mind. So the only available options are for you to either root or go with H2OS.

I wanted to ask call recording works on stock Android pie without root with ADB command via a computer

Realized I made a typo in the flashable zip. Updated zip with fix. However I'm now on oos pie stable and the zip doesn't work for me so I'll need to investigate it further

The magisk module v7 works on oos pie, or what did you mean?

Magisk module is fine, I'm talking about the flashable zip

Season's greetings to you too!

Yes, that no-root method still works, but call recording will get disabled after sometime. So you'll have to run the ADB command again everytime that happens.

I had reverted the flashable zip in the OP to an older version of yours since the last one broke the SIM settings menu for everyone (due to disabling of an activity that made call recording stick).

Also, the Magisk module now modifies the culprit APK when it's installed and places the modified APK in the module's folder for mounting during phone boot. At the moment, this is the only method that's making call recording stick without breaking SIM settings or anything else.

Interesting, I'll look into that. The service script is only needed on the first boot after patching the apk too.
You can also get rid of the extra sleep and repeated statements in the service script by this:

(
while [ $(getprop sys.boot_completed) -ne 1 ] || [ "$(getprop init.svc.bootanim | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')" != "stopped" ]; do
  sleep 1
done
settings put global op_voice_recording_supported_by_mcc 1
pm enable com.android.phone/com.android.phone.oneplus.OPSimSubSettingsActivity
rm -f $0
)

Edit: So found why that sed patch works and a cleaner way to do it: Just set v1 to 0x1. Normally this (the value to set mcc) would only be set to 1 if over seas. Unfortunately, I can't get the apk to recompile so current sed patch method is fine

Edit 2: Updated flashable zip with apk stuff, works great now

Thanks for having a look at the module as well as updating the flashable zip. I'll add it to the OP right away! Also, just wanted to add that your posts are always detailed and I always learn something just by reading them.

Just realized I forgot something with the code here. You need an ampersand after the closing parentheses. Sorry about that :/

That much I realized, just didn't point it out. To make the script run asynchronously. Thanks again!

You will have to unlock your phone and flash this via a custom recovery (TWRP). Root is not necessary, but an unlocked phone with a custom recovery is.

Does this Magisk module require Oneplus sound recorder? I am asking because I have the sound recorder debloated and have both Google Dialer and Oneplus Dialer - but nothing got recorded. I was using Google Dialer as default phone app but also had Oneplus Dialer with call recording option enabled and Magisk Module installed

I don't think that there's a dependence of the call recording functionality on the stock sound recorder (I can be wrong though). I think your issue is Google Dialer being the default phone app. The stock OnePlus dialer app has to be the default app for the calls to get recorded, I'm guessing.

Just to be clear, this mod is properly recording calls on OOS Pie?

I tried OOS OB22/23 for a few hours with this mod, it worked. Dl'd directly from Magisk repo though, shouldn't be any different.

Yes, exactly, see posts before:good:
