TheMukt reports:

Over the last few days we have seen increased activity on the nightly changelogs which suggest [CyanogenMod has] incorporated a call recording feature into its most recent nightlies. Generally speaking call recording is largely considered very grey in terms of the law and as such it seems CM is not offering this feature as a direct and obvious feature.

Instead what we are seeing is the call recording setting can be activated by the user but does require a little bit of knowledge. This presumably is a way for CM to avoid any direct law breaking. So to be accurate CM [is] now offering support for call recording although not the feature directly.

    My motorola cellphone from the late 90's had this feature.. in fact it probably had it in the best way possible:
    * Dedicated button for the recording
    * When pressed during a call it started to have a non-intrusive 4s interval beep inserted into both incomming and outgoing
    * It had a setting whether it should record both ends (great for dialouges) or just the remote end (great for getting directions and phonenumber)
    * Also worked great as a dictaphone

    All in all, I really hope they (CM) record the streams (in and out) separately and allows for separate playback..
