Do you know a good call recorder app for android ?

It depends on your phone OEM ~ colorOS, from BBK, supports ODialer natively which supports call recording without any announcement. Same goes for Xioami phones, probably Lenovo as well.

Samsung also does that, at least over here.
 
Google's own native Phone app records audio from your recordings with the press of a button.

I believe that Samsung's native app also does the same.

Meanwhile, some people are saying that you need to unlock your phone to install apps outside of the store.

Android's own store has over 100 apps that record calls.

Why is the first thing people say is to install apps from outside of the store? They have no idea of reality.
 
Probably because he's running custom ROM? That's the only reason I can think of.

My redmi note 14 4g uses google dialer and it has recoding but with announcement
 
You can simply disable that in settings, use tone for call recording.

Also your phone probably supports Xiaomi's native dialer, try installing it from the play store or any other app store.

What options are you seeing under settings of these dialers?

Fairly certain it doesn't work that way. Carriers can't control that kind of thing, by law.

What I had in mind was exactly the opposite: carriers would only do that kind of thing if the law *required* them to do it, which would vary from country to country. (I'd have to travel to Switzerland to try to prove that.)
 
Then it seems you're out of luck with stock options, the OEM has disabled this in your region/country as a whole.

Is there a way to uninstall the phone from apkmirror ? I can not find uninstall
 
You can't uninstall the Google dialer without root, some OEM's may allow that but pretty sure Xiaomi doesn't.

Not in EU you can't, all phones have that feature disabled because it is illegal to record calls without consent of both parties.

That's EU. Here, as a general rule, anyone has the right to record any conversation they participate in.

In Sweden it's legal to record private conversations, same as lex says. It's illegal to record others private conversations though. The cheap Nokia phones have automatic recording built in.

Not in California.

Is It Illegal to Record a Conversation in California?

Understand California’s two-party consent law, its legal implications, and exceptions to ensure compliance when recording conversations.
legalclarity.org legalclarity.org

California requires all parties involved to consent before a conversation can be recorded. This is outlined in California Penal Code 632, which makes it illegal to record a “confidential communication” without consent. A conversation is considered confidential if at least one participant has a reasonable expectation that it is not being overheard or recorded. This applies to both in-person discussions and phone calls.

Your citation blatantly ignores an important point. The exceptions mentioned near the bottom of that page are both incomplete and partly wrong. If one party has good legal cause to believe that such a recording could prove to protect them from illicit or unlawful actions by bad actors or serve as evidence of wrong-doing against them, the law makes an exception and recordings are not only acceptable but admissible in court. Otherwise dashcam recordings in California would be unlawful and could not be used as evidence. This is not my first rodeo on this subject nor how it applies in California.
