@mschmids as you can see here in many countries recording is allowed, anyway :

DISCLAIMER

Before using these scripts make sure that in your country is allowed to record phone calls without consent from the other side, I do not take any responsibility for consequences deriving for the misuse of these scripts.

Hello @mschmids ,

In my country it is legal and accepted as evidence.
I love privacy. But I will give you some use cases.

Your boss threatens you.
Your partner threatens you.
You are bullied
Anonymous threats
Signing contracts over the phone for electricity, gas, phone, internet....

Thanks, good work @Br1

@Bolly I say a big thank you to @Br1 too and above all a great usefulness of the feature (widely used on Android too) in administrative acts (often poorly executed, repetitive) by telephone : I have no objection to being recorded and this must therefore be do it both direction.

@Br1 a feature to improve (if possible) : Can you make the recording sound better than currently when in speakerphone talk mode? In speaker mode, the quality of recorded audio is significantly reduced. Thanks.

Br1

@domubpkm - arecord (command-line recorder used by script) has many options, but on my device between recordings with or without speakerphone the difference is almost imperceptible, therefore it is difficult to assess ...

@Br1 In my case, the recorded sound of the interlocutor is much weaker on the Volla.

Hello @Br1 . If you have kept some, can you confirm if your .wav recordings under xenial are played normally (sound quality) under focal ? THANKS .

domubpkm

@Br1 Hello. Do you confirm/tested the script work on your phone with OTA-5 ? It seems that, with the script for me with Volla 22, i have no sound for incoming or outcoming calls. Thank you.

@domubpkm @Br1 I can confirm that on volla quintus (OTA-7 and devel channel) isn't working either. Same behavior as @domubpkm , call-recording locks mycrophone and speaker on calls. Nothing is captured on saved file.
There os anything i can do to track the problem?
(Another interesting thing is that looks like the install-script breaks the camera, it make camera app the capability of record videos. Uninstall the script or change between channels doesn't solve the problem, it is just solved by factory reset )
