Crowdfunding to implment call recording?

Toasty

Hey guys,

As you may know that GrapheneOS currently does not have and does not plan to add the call recording feature. And as far as I know there are no open source way to do it without rooting (which according to my knowledge breaks the GOS's security model).
I believe the GOS devs have stated that the only way for call recording to be included in GOS is if someone submit a good piece of code to the GOS project. A dev also stated that if someone really wants the feature, they can code themselves or hire someone to do it.
To me I'd rly love to see this feature however I don't have the expertise to code it myself (I'm just a regular user) and I don't see it'd be a viable option financially to hire someone purely by myself :/
But I am definitely down to contribute say roughly 30 bucks.
So just wondering: how many of us are interested in chipping in a bit to get this feature implemented (to say, hire someone xD)?

Not open source, but ACR.app does work without root. It uses Accessibility to record the mic during a call. So really needs speakerphone during a call or a very quiet room.
Since it's not using a VOIP relay, I just deny network permissions. So being closed source doesn't bother me too much.

I would be down to contribute as well. Sometimes customers purposefully call my personal cell phone instead of calling my business line (which is recorded), and not having customer interactions recorded can be potentially devastating. My only option now is to use CubeACR, and I'm not thrilled about their privacy policy.

I'm willing to contribute.

However, I have a feeling that 3rd party code won't be accepted for this feature. The core dev team has a very high bar. Not only must the code be well done, but the person(s) must commit to maintaining it. I doubt that we can crowdfund continuous maintenance.

Yea plus seems like not many people interested in funding this feature in the first place :/

Yeah, it's not high on priority. Especially with apps that work reasonably well, the legal grey area, it's a tough sell that the OS should do it natively.

I think fixing the Backup solution should be something we should help fund.

Absolutely agree about the backup
