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.

  I saw that yesterday when reinstalling everything with a new rom, but I have not been able to test yet.

  I assume that the NSA is already recording all of my calls, so why not make a copy for myself?

  Sadly doesn't seem to work with current Android versions.

  Information: Might not work with Android > 4.1.0 (see issues).
