Bring back call recording APIs. I don’t want to root my phone to get back basic functionality.

Is there an official source for this?

The article links to this blog post, but I did not see anything relevant in it:

Disable YouTube app from opening URLs. Use Firefox + uBlock Origin instead. No ads.

SecScanQR can not scan from an image.

Many phones specifically blow fuses in the device to make sure that attempts to downgrade will fail for security reasons.

I think you are mixing e-fuses (Samsung) and tamper-evident storage (Pixel). First one is used to lock Knox after rooting, second one to prevent downgrades.

This eget?

With automated in this context I mean non-interactive ways to install multiple apps, as opposed to having to manually tap install on each app.
