Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 are end-of-life and shouldn’t be used anymore due to lack of security patches for firmware and drivers. We provide extended support for harm reduction.

    Well that might be a game changer for me. Lack of Android Auto stopped me using Graphene in the past. I hope it’s reliable.

    Yet no automatic call recording.

      There is an open issue on GitHub regarding adding automatic call recording, but it is a low priority enhancement. GrapheneOS’ default dialer already supports call recording.

      If you would like to keep track of this issue, you can do so by checking out on the official GrapheneOS Issue tracker: https://github.com/GrapheneOS/os-issue-tracker/issues/2083

        Yepp, I saw that issue last month or something like that :) Thank you for the link anyway.

        I use the call recorder whenever I feel like it’s important (for an example, when calling a company). But sometimes the phone (Pixel 6a) does not register my push on the record button. So most of the times, I have to press it 2-4 times before the phone goes like “aha, you actually pressed the button” -.- Super annoying! Automatic call record will prevent this issue :)

          May you please specify the GrapheneOS build number that is found in the Device Settings > About > Build Number, along with the device model you are using?

          You can copy paste the build number by pressing and holding it.

          Would you be able to provide logs captured during call when this issue happens?

            UQ1A.240105.002.2024010400, Pixel 6a

            Sorry, but I don’t know how to get the logs and where to find the logs.

              Open Settings > Press About Phone > press Build Number until a toast notification says “You are now a developer”. You may be prompted to type in your lock screen password before the toast message is shown.

              Once you have done the above. Go back to the main screen of the settings menu > Press System > Developer Options > Bug Report. Follow the on screen instructions to choose the best style of bug report to create. Once you have made your selection, precede to call and press call record again to capture any possible logs.

              Please remember, once you have captured your log to head back to developer options and disable them by pressing the toggle located on the far top right of the screen.

            I don’t want to create a new account only for that. I want to preserve my privacy :) If they had their source code on Codeberg, I would already posted that issue.
