Is there a decent call-recording app?... - Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps

Putting the "legal thingy" aside, is there an application which does this decently?... all of the appz I tried are crap.

I'm in the same position as you. Tried some apps but they were terrible.
Has anyone extracted the call record function from the south Korean firmware? http://news.softpedia.com/news/South-Korean-Samsung-Galaxy-S-Gets-Firmware-Update-152563.shtml

Short answer no, hardware incapable.

I'm waiting for someone to extract it from the Korean firmware as well . I used call recording extensively in my previous phone. It's a shame Google provides no APIs to support call recording I was hoping the newer international firmwares would have the feature as well, but apparently it isn't so.

Why would it be hardware incapable?

use any recording software
presss record
pick up your call
put your call in Speakerphone mode
when call ends
stop recording
Done!
problem solved, mission acomplished

Except if you're not always alone and in your room when you need to record calls?

That works exceptionally well when people are calling you, genious.

It has been sometime now since the last post on this thread. Meanwhile anyone got a good working Carr Recording App to recomend?
I tried Total Recall but that didn't work at all for me.
Free or paid app, as long as it does internal recording, not over speaker.
Any suggestions?

Req: simple call recorder for SGSII

Hi all,
I almost put 2-3 days to investigate Apps for call recording on my SGSII. I installed many Apps on it, however, none of them seems working.
Bottom line is apparently, there is hardware limitation in Android which prevents accessing the incoming voice. and most of the programs work when voice is coming from the speaker.
This seems ridiculous! I mean, come on! I had Nokia 5 years ago and had nice Apps working perfectly for call recording with crystal clear quality.
If there is not such an App and if Android world is unable to perform such an easy task, I will definitely, switch back to Nokia.
Please let me know if you know any WORKING program with good quality without putting the phone on speaker.
Thanks for your time.

Their own website states that the speaker phone must be turned on. So I will keep looking Phone call recording
To record phone calls, start recording, and put the speaker on during the call. Please beware that this doesn't work on all devices.
To record incoming calls, uncheck Pause on incall in the advanced settings, start recording, wait for a call, and put the speaker on. Warning: this may cause certain phones to crash when the incoming call arrives." Need something for a sgh-t989
there are 2 fine solutions mate, that already works for me on stock rom (root required) or cm7:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.killermobile.totalrecall.s2.market
or
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.skvalex.callrecorder (pointed by nilsido, too)
both works wonderful.

(Q) Does line calls recording allowed in i927?

Hello all!
I was just wondering if in line call recording is available on i927? That is calls should be recorded not from the mic, but from the line, so both parties can be heard clearly.

Sorry. But that program doesn't work for me. It records only from mic. Any others?
Because of appearance of new ROM for i927 (PAC and CM10), i want to ask my question once again. Maybe something has changed with that totally new ROMs-Kernels. Does anyone tried to make record from the line?
Sorry for diggin that thread, but I'm also interested in call recording for i927. Anything changed? Is there any possibility to record 2way calls?

LG G3 Call Recording

Anyone found an app to AUTOMATICALLY record phone calls? I've tried two, ACR and Call Recorder. Both have problems recording the other person - with ACR the other person sounds garbled and with Call Recorder the other person isn't recorded at all.
The stock dialer lets you record phone calls, but not automatically.
Anyone found an app that will record phone calls on the G3? What is it?
Thanks!
Stock recorder does not let you record on a d851. Have spoken to both devs they all say it a hardware issue but yet tweakedbox g3 records.
AWESOME G3

G3 tweaksbox will allow you to add call recording and then recorded calls go to Voice Recorder app.
FYI, I get the same garbled caller side of my recorded calls with G3 Tweaksbox for some reason.
The other end of the line is garbled and distorted, barely able to make anything out of it, about 85% of all calls are like that, whether outgoing or incoming.
And it seems the louder the other end of the line is, it becomes even more distorted, but it's not from talking loud, my end is recorded fine, even when I tried yelling, it seems to be the way it's handling the receiving audio.

Yes call recording will work natively. The only issue is the other person sounds REALLY bad.

Pretty sure this is how you can get it working...
After talking to @wideasleep1 about his settings with Automatic Call Recorder (FREE), and applying a couple settings of my own in both phone settings and in G3 TweaksBox, I was able to get the call recording nice and clear!... here's how to do it:
Pic 1 - G3 TweakBox settings
Pic 2 - Settings (access this during call)
Pic 3 - Automatic Call Recorder settings (1 of 2)
Pic 4 - Automatic Call Recorder settings (2 of 2)
*once in a while on a certain call the recipient will sound fuzzy, maybe is related to the phone's main audio volume while on the call though. I'd say about 50%-70% up is a good volume. Anyways, someone wanna try this out and post your results?
Pic 4... Sorry
Ok this will add the record button when on a call. It will not auto record maybe I'll see about modding the apks to make that happen when I get some time. I have tried this and it's not terribly bad. There's a little crackling if the other persons voice gets to loud. So if you just want the option to be there for the next time you call Comast it''s there, also this is a flashable zip so please do a backup first :good:

Are you on a ODEX rom? If so rename LGIncallUI.odex and LGTeleService.odex.
I use boldbeast in the play store on mode four. Has automatic or manual.

Anything.. Lol
The point is that the os doesn't see them. Renaming the file achieves this without permanently deleting the files in case you want to revert later.
So, resurrecting a dead horse here...
When you're hearing the calls sound "garbled", the reason why is because the gain of the side-of-the-call-in-question is set too high
What I mean by this, for people who don't have experience with audio processing:
A file will have a given maximum-volume it can store for any given sound sample.
If it is told to write a volume higher than that maximum, it will write the maximum instead.
"Distortion" is a term for what this type of thing does to sound; specifically in this form, where the numbers are just cut down to size with no finesse, it is called "hard clippIng" and generally sounds pretty awful
The solution is to basically bring down the volume of the incoming sounds that are being recorded – i.e., in this case, the other person's end of the call needs to have its volume brought down coming into the recording app / system
The term for incoming volume is "gain"
So, the LG built-in call recorder needs the incoming gain, esp. that of the incoming calls, brought down to fix this
There is likely a number in some obscure preference file that controls this. I just have no idea where to look.
Anyone have any leads??
One of the updates to ACR this year included a gain control. By reducing the gain, I can now record calls with no distortion. Success!

The free version doesn't allow automatic call recording.
Is there any free alternative?
Unfortunately even the best paid call recorders work very poorly on the 5X. It has something to do with the chip they used (I forgot the exact explanation). The only way to get good quality call recording is to have the call volume super low, which stinks.
That's shame.
Thank you

Not that I know of. Usually most of the smartphone manufactures remove that feature due to legal concerns. You'd have to use a third party app if you want it badly
