How can I record phone conversation with the terminal commands or script?

[leftside2]

Description of the feature

Nexus5, Ubuntu Touch 16.04, phone conversation recording problem. https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1020 I understood that the RECORD/MIC icon on the phone call screen is not the one I'm expecting but simply a kind of mute-mic feature. But how can I record the phone conversation via terminal script anyway??

Steps to reproduce

Expected behavior

By simply executing a bash script in the terminal, I might record the conversation between the opposite person who is talking with me on the phone.

Actual behavior

I guess we should close this here continue it in the forum.(?) @leftside2 does it necessarily need to be a terminal command? otherwise you can just use the audiorecorder (https://open-store.io/app/audio-recorder.luksus). You need to keep it in the foreground or disable the suspending using the ut tweak tool.

@hummlbach , Thanks for ur info, I'll try.

[leftside2]

@hummlbach , No. That is just the same app as the default recorder app on the phone when u install ubuntu-touch. It records only my voice not the other one's speech.

Oh, mhmm then its maybe device specific, cause this works on turbo. Shouldn't make a difference I guess, but did you call out or did you receive the call? (I have just checked with an outgoing call.)

[leftside2]

@hummlbach , only call out. It didn't work like I said on the above.

@hummlbach The voice recorder app only can get what it hears on the microphone. The audio stream from the other end of the call is not accessible to it.

@dobey my turbo does for sure. I have some eye/ear whitnesses ;-) (no loud speaker enabled)

I could get decent call recording using the recorder and loud speaker.
