Description:

Call Recorder - SKVALEX is intended for automatic call recording. The app provides functionality to record both sides on devices with such support. But some devices don't have 2-way call recording support, or have issues with Bluetooth recording.

Also, the app provides wide functionality to manage recordings:

- Search recordings

- Conversion from one format to another (e.g WAV to FLAC/OPUS/MP3/etc.)

- Adding notes to recorded files

- In-call control button while call recording: you can easily start/stop recording during a call

- Enter to the app using password (or fingerprint)

- Auto clean-up - automatically removes old recordings according to rules set by you. Starred recordings ignored.

- Exceptions: you may set up phone numbers, contacts or groups for specific actions, like always record or do not

- Filename template: you can easily change structure of created files

- Cloud backup support

- Playback recording over main speaker or handset speaker

- Access recording from within contact info

- Call confirm: the app will ask you whether you want to make a call or not

- After call actions dialog: the app will ask what to do with a recorded call

- Vibrate on call start/end

If you want to get option "start recording on answer" work without root, then you'll need to grant READ_LOGS permission to the app via adb:

adb shell pm grant org.skvalex.cr android.permission.READ_LOGS

Note, that you may need to manually enable logger in engineering menu (or anywhere else where your device manufacturer disabled it). Don't ask questions "how to enable logger" here, you better google it or ask it in forums about your specific device.
