        I just hope your work is progressing as you wish, because all of your scripts are great and will enhance focal environment (as they do for xenial).

        I installed it yesterday, seems to work fine ... a few days of testing πŸ™‚

          ---- UPDATE OTA-2 Focal ----
          ---- Stable Channel ----

          Usual three steps :

          1 - download callrecorder-ota.2.tar.gz from here : www.spacelinux.it/UTouch/callrecorder-ota.2.tar.gz

          2 - open file manager, go to Downloads tap callrecorder-ota.2.tar.gz and tap extract archive

          3 - open terminal, type :

          sudo Downloads/callrecorder-ota.2/callrec-install
          

          and hit enter,

          type 1 + enter to install

          type 2 + enter to uninstall

          and reboot.


          As in previous versions, install script asks you how many days you want to keep recorded calls, hit enter for default (30 days) if you later decide to change, repeat the installation (in this case reboot not required).

          Focal required several changes, callrecorder now is a systemd service, to delete older calls there is a systemd user timer .

          preview of the new version of callrec-install :

          #!/bin/bash
          
          CRSERV=/usr/lib/systemd/system/callrecorder.service ;
          
          # Make sure only root can run this script
          if [ "$(id -u)" != "0" ]; then
             echo "    Must be run as root, you must prepend sudo !" 1>&2 ; exit 1
          fi
          
          echo -e '\n - Install/uninstall CallRecorder :\n' ;
          
          PS3='Please enter your choice : '
          options=("Install" "Uninstall" "Quit")
          select opt in "${options[@]}"
          do
          	case $opt in
          	"Install")
          
          			#   -------------------- already installed section ------------------------------
          
          			if [ -f "$CRSERV" ]; then
          
                                                  echo -e '\n Recorded calls : auto erase them after' ;
          
                                                  read -p " how many days ? (hit enter for 30) : " days
          
          					# --------------- default days section --------------------------
          
          					#if pressed ENTER set default days
          					if [ ${#days} -eq 0 ];	then days=+30 ;

          preview of callrecorder service :

          [Unit]
          Description=Call Recorder
          
          [Service]
          Type=simple
          ExecStart=/home/phablet/.callrec/prepare-sh
          RemainAfterExit=yes
          
          [Install]
          WantedBy=multi-user.target
          

          systemd user timer requires 2 files, rec-remove.timer :

          [Unit]
          Description=Run every day at 11:00
          
          [Timer]
          OnCalendar=*-*-* 11:00
          Persistent=true
          
          [Install]
          WantedBy=default.target
          

          and rec-remove.service :

          [Unit]
          Description=Remove older calls
          
          [Service]
          Type=simple
          ExecStart=/home/phablet/.callrec/rec-remove-sh
          
          [Install]
          WantedBy=default.target
          

          to run daily the script rec-remove-sh :

          #!/bin/bash
          #
          days=+30
          # delete recordings (except saved directory) older than ... days
          find /home/phablet/MyRec -type f -not -path '*/saved/*' -mtime $days -exec rm {} \; 2> /dev/null ;
          

          . small change, now you can save recorded calls in "saved" folder and will not be deleted

          . small differences in other scripts (new paths)

          . as for previous versions callrecorder must be uninstalled before proceeding to ota update.

                  On a hunch I did it again and works ... you have extracted it ?

                  in Downloads directory there should be "callrecorder-ota.2" subdirectory that also contains "callrec-install"

                            Don't really understand. πŸ™‚ Your current phone is broken / out or the OTA-3 update will come later even if you ordered a new phone ?

                              @domubpkm from what I understand ota 3 update will be available only for currently supported devices
                              Xiaomi MI A2 isn't there, it doesn't have a maintainer 😞

                                @Br1 Okay, and unfortunately for you. I didn't understand why you got OTA-2 and not OTA-3. I will wait for a future feedback about the DNS change on OTA-3, because your procedure has become essential to me, more than VPN on UT ultimately.

                                    OTA 3 Stable channel --- You can reinstall, no changes are necessary.

                                        @domubpkm it's the same with my pixel 3a xl (fresh install) and I'm tryin' to understand why.
                                        There are other things that don’t work ... you have made a fresh install or update from xenial ?

                                          @Br1 A full first focal fresh install with the installer (with wipe data). For DNS, it's work well.

                                          The focal call recorder would already have been useful to me. πŸ™‚

                                            @domubpkm new version ota 3 here fresh install involves to reset some permissions and to create few directories ... however I can't guarantee it will work with all devices.

                                              @Br1 Will try on my Volla. thanks very much. What do you mean by your comment ? Is it the same procedure ? Nothing dangerous to install or new things to do before installing ?
