Hello, new user here. I have several question.

First I need to reroute some of my traffic (specific apps) through tor. Also, sometimes use tor browser.

Second thing is an app cloning, how could I do that (was a great feature in Xiaomi)

Third how to delete all data when unlocking with specific pin code

Fourth best ways to do full backup and copy all new photos and videos

Fifth best ways to record phone calls

"Call recording functionality within the Dialer app using modern Android storage with recordings stored in Recordings/Call Recordings and no restrictions based on region or special cases like playing a recording tone (users are still responsible for complying with their local laws)."

Possibly other apps could be used for call recording, maybe? I don't know, I'm afraid.

Hello and welcome.

„First I need to reroute some of my traffic (specific apps) through tor. Also, sometimes use tor browser.“

Orbot could help you with this. Tor Browser can be obtained from various sources.

„Third how to delete all data when unlocking with specific pin code“

A feature of GrapheneOS called Duress PIN/Password can support you here - but it wipes the entire device. You can find out more about how it works here:

„Fourth best ways to do full backup and copy all new photos and videos“

Encrypted backups via the Seedvault app are currently an integral part of GrapheneOS. More information here:
https://grapheneos.org/features#encrypted-backups

Unfortunately Seedvault does seem to not work always reliable, as stated for example in this thread:
https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/6025-megathread-first-hand-experiences-with-seedvault

The GrapheneOS team seems to be working on improving Seedvault:

As far as backing up photos and videos, there are various options. Maybe these articles will help you:

"Fifth best ways to record phone calls"

GrapheneOS offers call recording functionality within the Dialer app, see:

Thanks for replies. About phone recording, could I record calls from other applications, like signal, WhatsApp etc? As far as I understand, they are detecting as calls by phone (black non touchable screen when near ear)

I haven't tested it myself - but doing a brief search it doesn't seem to be possible without installing an additional app.
