Does anyone know of a modern #Android phone which allows call recording without root?

I'm currently on an aging 5T running #LineageOS and can record calls just fine - a button in the dialler lets me record straight from the line. I don't need to put it on speaker and record via the microphone.

(Looking for 1st hand experience, not search results. No need to reply to discuss the legality of call recording. I need root-less for online banking etc.)

@Edent interestingly they provide an open banking API (https://developer.starlingbank.com/) so it might be possible to build your own app without their restrictions. It's missing a few bits of functionality like adding new payees but might do for most things.

🆕 blog! “Are we 'appy about change?”

Shortly before I left the Civil Service in 2023, I made a complete fool of myself. Someone on Slack was discussing their department's app and I (rather snidely) asked why it was an app rather than a website. After all, one of the seminal blog posts of GDS was about not building apps. In response, […]

@Edent are you saying that apps are fine as well as websites or also fine instead of, now?

🆕 blog! “TfL are blocking rooted devices from accessing maps - how to fix”

TfL Go is a handy app. It gives you real-time access to the timetables and delays of London's tube and bus network. That's all you can do with it. You can't buy tickets, store a photocard, or anything like that. Which was why I was annoyed when this popped up in-app one day: I emailed […]

@Edent a while back I emailed to ask if there was any chance of open sourcing it. Clearly optimistic!

New Jellyfin client Delfin just showed up on Flathub and it looks amazing. Very exciting to have a native client that runs nicely (albeit playback is a little stuttery still) on an L5!

3 Months since Jogger went up on Flathub, 550 installs. Not bad considering it's a fairly niche app for a very niche platform on extremely niche devices. Hopefully as GNSS/GPS/Portal improvements filter down to distros and more mobile Linux devices become available it becomes more useful to more people.

I'm working with @fkinoshita on improving the #OpenStreetMap editing experience in #GNOME Maps! Really satisfied with this so far 😁️

@bragefuglseth @fkinoshita this looks incredible!

@GTK still a few more things I want to add to Jogger before I start the next one.

I’m gonna dip my toes into volunteering as a Flatpak/Flathub developer advocate—basically, providing a human contact at a real company that can help larger apps/companies get their apps in front of Linux (and thus Steam Deck!) users.

What are some of the biggest apps you think are missing from Flathub—or for apps already there, which are the ones you’d like to see verified?

@cassidy ProtonBridge would be great. 68k installs.

Import from Instagram to @pixelfed is almost ready to ship!

@baarkerlounger@mastodon.social avatar

@dansup @pixelfed will it still support the old Instagram export format and will it support importing collections as collections?

baarkerlounger,
@baarkerlounger@mastodon.social avatar

@pixelfed @dansup posts that contain multiple pictures in a single post. In the original pixelfed import implementation they were imported as multiple individual posts.

Kudows to @Fairphone for the new Fairbuds XL 🎶

A new proof that with some willpower, we can make a more sustainable world! 🌳🌍

And since they are cool and compatible with all Murena phones with /e/OS, we have decided to make them available at https://murena.com/shop/accessories/fairbuds-headphones/

Will the EQ app be open sourced or will e/os provide an open source alternative?
