Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 are end-of-life and shouldn't be used anymore due to lack of security patches for firmware and drivers. We provide extended support for harm reduction.

Well that might be a game changer for me. Lack of Android Auto stopped me using Graphene in the past. I hope it's reliable.
You had my curiosity, now you have my attention....
Yet no automatic call recording.
There is an open issue on GitHub regarding adding automatic call recording, but it is a low priority enhancement. GrapheneOS' default dialer already supports call recording.
If you would like to keep track of this issue, you can do so by checking out on the official GrapheneOS Issue tracker: https://github.com/GrapheneOS/os-issue-tracker/issues/2083
Yepp, I saw that issue last month or something like that :) Thank you for the link anyway.
I use the call recorder whenever I feel like it's important (for an example, when calling a company). But sometimes the phone (Pixel 6a) does not register my push on the record button. So most of the times, I have to press it 2-4 times before the phone goes like "aha, you actually pressed the button" -.- Super annoying! Automatic call record will prevent this issue :)
