Call recorder (both VoIP and phone call)

Does anyone know any call recorder that works well on Android 12? I have tried several but the one that seems to work the most is Cube ACR, which because Google changed the Android policies is no longer possible to work as it used to, and in my case I can hear my own voice in calls and not the other person’s, which in my use...

Remove Amazon Search from Right Click Menu (sh.itjust.works)

All of a sudden, Amazon search has popped up on the right click contextual menu for me. Haven’t seen it before today. I can’t find a way to remove it either; I’d prefer not to be reminded every time I try to copy something that I can buy Travis County district court on Amazon. I use the app a lot because of Amazon lockers...

Hopefully this becomes the app that ends this nonsensical “blue bubble” supremacy by iSheep.

Is it possible to easily build an app from source on a phone?

I want to install native alpha plus but cannot purchase it as I don’t have Google play services, and cannot build it from source as I don’t have access to a computer. If this is not possible, could somebody please help me out and PM me a link to a compiled APK.
