Yes. That’s how my phone is currently set up. My ex-wife is a psychopath, so everything gets recorded and backed up.
I want to love Graphene. I really do. But Jesus fucking christ, every thread the devs get involved with just seems like they’re sniffing their own farts over blatant refusal to implement a feature in any sensible way. System-wide hosts-based adblocking (DNS/always-on VPN is not a reasonable solution) and automatic call recording should be basic-ass features on a custom ROM of this caliber.
Stock (for now), but rooted because I’m a firm proponent of owning the device for which I paid a shitload of money.
Which […] dnsblocking are you using?
I use hosts-based adblocking via AdAway (from F-Droid). Root required. Not the reason I rooted, but a nice benefit to having full and complete control of MY device.
And to install a custom ROM you need to unlock your boot loader and root it anyways. Do custom roms even come with a non-root option? I haven’t done it in years.
You… Dont need to root your device to install a custom rom?
You can very well unlock your device, flash a custom rom, and use it unrooted. Nowadays quite a lot of custom rom come with a kernel prepatched for KSU, but that’s obviously not a requirement…
I still custom rom my devices to get rid of applications I don’t need. Plus root is useful for automatizing the updating of my apps from third party stores ; but Shizuku exists so that’s not the only way to do it.
But yeah, nowaydays you need usually to flash magisk to have root, or to use a kernel compiled with support for KSU.
Cool. Now let me legally record my phone calls without rooting my phone.
Built-in to GrapheneOS for a while now.
CalyxOS also has it (though they block it where it’s illegal).
Except it’s not automatic
I mean you still gotta press the recording button to record. You want it to auto record every phone call?

Two problems:
If you need to root anyway, might as well use BCR.
Nowadays you don’t even need to root your phone; certains custom roms do that by default

Bruh, last device I rooted and unlocked was in like 2015. Lost the need to do it.
Back then though, I’d never heard of a custom ROM that doesn’t have root enabled by default. Is that where we are at now?

Grapheneos doesn’t require root before install or allow root after install
