Call Recorder has no sound?

[Atenza]

I downloaded the source and build it in Android Studio and installed it in my OP5 running lineageOS 20.0.
When it records a call it just makes an empty file. My phone is not rooted.

Thanks !

Not all phones/ROMs allow apps to record the call sounds directly.

For those you’d need root and have CallRecorder installed as a system app, etc

OK but just found out

In: android_packages_apps_Dialer-lineage-20.0\java\com\android\dialer\callrecord\res\xml\call_record_states.xml

It is set to true “Denmark”

<country iso=“dk,fo,gl” allowed=“true” />

So it should work ???

[Licaon_Kter]

Your are recompiling your whole ROM? Else…

Nop I just downloaded it from github: GitHub - LineageOS/android_packages_apps_Dialer
And there I see that <country iso=“dk,fo,gl” allowed=“true” /> So it should work ?.

Nope, that’s not it.

Read again:

You can compile your own app, but that does not help.

But it should bee possible to get it working with out root now that the permission is there.
I’m looking for an adb command.
I don’t want a rooted phone so will it work if I root make the install and unroot again ?

[Licaon_Kter]

If the permission was there CallRecorder would have worked already, right? No need to recompile?

Which Android version?

LineageOS 20.0 android 13.
