I got around this limitation by using LineageOS. Unfortunately, I'm forced to compile my own builds with call recording enabled for the US because there's no way to tell which state you're in through MNC-MCC numbers and states like California and Pennsylvania have lame two-party consent laws for recording calls[1][2]. My state is single party consent. Just super lame that all my featurephones from the mid-2000's could record without modification.

I'm surprised and disappointed LineageOS disables it as well. Do they block apps with the word "torrent" in them as well?
One would think a stern warning dialog would be sufficient...
"This call may be recorded..."
