The only functional FOSS call recording app for Android that I'm aware of is the Call Recorder app on F-Droid:

- Call Recorder: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.axet.callrecorder...

To use this app, you'll need to root your phone using Magisk[1] and the install the Magisk module for Axet's Call Recorder.[2] Then, upgrade the Call Recorder app to the latest version in F-Droid. Note: do not enable "System Mixer Incall Recording" in Call Recorder, since it is not needed and may cause issues with recording.

The default dialer and contact apps are both FOSS and functional, so I never felt the need to replace them. Signal can take over as the default SMS/MMS app, and there are alternatives with more features such as QKSMS:

- QKSMS: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.moez.QKSMS/



LineageOS's default phone app supports call recording out of the box. I'm using LineageOS 18. I don't know if this is true for earlier versions.
